"Good writers take something bad and build something good out of it!" YES! This is why I roll my eyes whenever someone says they should retcon the Star Wars prequels. Not only do I really like a lot of the vehicle designs and planets and such they introduced, they gave us excellent comics, games, and two cartoon series.

If Marvel will ever undo One More Day, they should make a rather personal tale where Peter and Mary Jane confront Mephisto and undo the deal. Though the timeline will be restored at the cost of Aunt May being dead and his identity revealed, Peter would settle with being an actual man who truly applies the life lesson that has once defined him before.

The part with Guy shouting at his ring about not hurting kids shows how much the writers knew about him. Guy graduated University of MI (bachelor's in psychology and education). He was actually a teach for kids with disabilities before getting pulled into the Green Lanterns.

I really like the bit about Earth governments having established First Contact laws to deal with aliens, but it also raises so many questions (in a good way). What do the DC Universe history books list as mankind's "First Contact" with aliens? Is it Superman, one of the many alien invasions, or some "Ancient Alien" race like the Thanagarians? Who holds the world record being the first human to time travel or visit another solar system? Does Earth have interstellar treaties with other aliens? Has it ever tried to colonize other worlds? And do conspiracy theorists who talk about Reptillian infiltrators actually have some credibility? I'd really love to see a series that more fully deals with how society deals with magic, aliens, and other super hero insanity being common knowledge, but given how often continuity changes and the fact that authors dont' want to make the world TOO different, i'm not sure anyone will ever fully realize it.

something I only just noticed is that Jaime's Blue Beetle has a kinda-Kamen Rider-like aspect to him. It's beyond just the Surface-level aspect of an ordinary person who transforms into an armoured bug-like form. Y'see one of the key themes in Kamen Rider that recurs throughout the various seasons is that the hero almost always obtains power that was in some way intended for evil but must then rebel and use that power to defeat that which created it, which is exactly what we see with Jaime. Granted it's not a perfect comparison and these ideas are relatively universal so it wouldn't surprise me if it was just a coincidence but it's fun to think about.

Holy crap, I never even realized this. And to further that, most main Kamen Riders have some paragon tendencies to them, though I'd say the closest to compare to Jaime is actually one that came from after Jaime was introduced... Eiji Hino AKA Kamen Rider OOO! Both are incredibly selfless and kind, with their desire to help out those they care about and the world, and both are characters carrying on the identity of their respective hero names from another. The two are just good people who inspire the people around them both in suit and outside of it. I will say, this makes me love Jaime even more than I already had thanks to Blue Skying.

And now we come to Jaime Reyes, the third Blue Bettle, and arguably the best. That's what I like about this particular legacy hero. Every time a new person adopts the identity of the Blue Bettle, it's always in a new an interesting way, improving on what came before. Dan, while interesting was also inconsistent. Ted Kord, while fun, smart, and lighthearted, eventually leaned too much into the camp becoming a joke that other writers had to pull him out of. Jaime? Jaime embodies not only the enjoyment and heart of Ted but actually explores the scarab that Dan discovered. Expanding the lore, he left behind. Giving his series not only good direction but also a wonderful and deep mythology to have fun exploring. Shout out to Keith Giffen and John Rogers for his creation and Lewis "Linkara" Lovhaug for reminding everyone of his existence.

"THIS IS A GUN?" made me laugh like hell. "Former host of the Daily Show". How come nobody (myself included) noticed the similar name? A lot of ppl hated Jaime at the beginning because of Ted Kord's popularity. Kudos for DC at the time for standing their ground, though. Because Jaime became a fan favourite afterwards. Danielle kind of reminds me of Dan's lady friend in the Fox comics. Jaime's definitely a subversion of Peter Parker.

My always favorite aspect about it comes back from the 90s, when the X-Files were popular, so every superhero comic universe had a Mulder/Scully analogue in one way shape or form. With the skeptic and the believer. Which is a fine dynamic.. you know, in our world. In the world of Marvel or DC not believing in Magic or Aliens makes you the actual insane person who is all about conspiracy theories. Imagine not believing in the moon landing when the JLA Watchtower is on the moon. Or when the Technis turned it into Cybertron.

About the question of Dan Garrett's age and how old he could he have been when he had kids, my guess is that among the powers the scarab had given him included a healing factor that kept him from aging or at least slowed down the process so that he could live for a long time while still looking young. Probably went to college the same time Ted did so that he could earn a second degree or something.

I never got the chance to read the comics since there's no comic shop close enough to me to go every week and I haven't been able to find the books for sale online. In fact, with how scarce comic book shops are and how limited the comic selection at bookstores are as well, people are just more likely to be introduced to a comic book character through other forms of media than through comics themselves. It sucks but, that's the way it is, at least where I live. Also Batman: The Brave and The Bold is a horrible attempt at imitating 60s Batman (at least in my opinion).
@KidSnivy69
@KidSnivy69 8 лет назад
I'm not saying it isn't easier to look up a character in other ways. And I'm well aware it the two mentioned shows (personal opinion aside, because you wouldn't like mine) and the recent Teen Titans movie are how most people are aware of Jaime. Hell it's how I found out about the character, but being honest I don't think any of those were as good (to Jaime and his awesome supporting cast) as the pre-New 52 book. Brave and the Bold only ever showed Paco and no one knew his secret identity, as good a YJ is character class didn't allow much of his home life or friends (yes he plays major parts and element of the Reach were seen, but there just isn't enough time for me), and Justice League vs. Teen Titans was more focus on Damien and Raven. This series broke conventions; everyone close to Jaime were aware of his power, he was a relative average kid who was willing to learn to be a proper hero, there was a point were his nurse mother berated Guy Gardner for constructing a green fist in her presence! You can get that in any of the adaptations, and I really wish it could of.

Ok im convinced that if i find one of this blue bettle run im buying it. Also it a good showing of how to do diversity well with it feeling natural and not the selling point.(i know it odd to say but with so many thing doing it poorly it noteworthy to praise it.)

+matt0044 Mistake? That's not how they saw it. TTG managed to knock Modern Spongebob off the throne it had been sitting on for YEARS now. They know it sucks and they know they can get away with pissing off whoever they want AND do piss off whoever they want. My god, even the recent Marvel Cartoons don't have writers and executives so full of shit. Probably because they wouldn't be able to get Stan Lee if they pulled crap like that.

Keith Giffen was also a writer on the amazing Marvel series called Annihilation. While Civil War was meh, Annihilation was AWESOME SPACE OPERA. I just had to say that I love these retrospects. March of the Titans I have seen multiple times, the ROM retrospect made me want to read about him and this is doing the same thing to me again. These are awesome, you should do these more often (though I can understand why these only come once year). Thanks, Linkara!

my first introduciton to blue bettle at all was Jaime in the show "Batman the brave and the bold" (the only show where Aquaman is actually awesome. Not even sure if we got these blue beetle comics in germany. Without a real comic book store in my home town, there is quiet a lot I'm missing. Also from this show I know this asshole green lantern guy and oddly he is one of my fav. on this show. Not sure if still somewhat care for superhero shows, but I highly recommend you this show, a wonderfull love letter to the silver age (but also including some modern stuff as it seems). It's just fun and adventurous and has the best final episode I have ever seen. :3

+toongrowner1 ...If Brave and the Bold is 'the only show where Aquaman is awesome', then you must've missed the DCAU...or the 90's run...or ANYTHING after the damn Superfriends cartoon in the 60s.

Rodin Claus there are actually a lot of dc shows I haven't watched. Just know that Aquaman usual has a bad name.
@rodinclaus9380
@rodinclaus9380 8 лет назад
toongrowner1 All of that stigma against Aquaman can be traced back to ONE source; the Superfriends cartoon from the 60s. Aquaman is the a hero that can toe-to-toe with Superman, is the King of the seven kingdoms of Atlantis (and commands the most powerful navy on Earth) and (usually) is married to Mera, who's essentially a bloodbender from Avatar. Why is all of this ignored for 'durr-hur fish'? because people CANNOT let go of the crap Aquaman dealt with in the Superfriends. Spoiler alert; EVERYONE was useless in the Superfriends. But that doesn't stop the likes of MacFarlane, or the idiots on the big bang theory parroting 'durr-hur, fish' and thinking they're hilarious... As Lewis himself said "I don't make fun of Aquaman."

Wow shocked to see just how much Young Justice was able to adapt to its TV Series spanning so many different comic storylines into one. Such as Jaime getting the Blue Beetle in that series and it telling him to kill people taking him over eventually the Reach coming to earth. I would highly suggest checking it out if you ever have time seeing how your a big fan of Blue Beetle and he plays a pretty large part in the series at least the first two seasons. He wasn't around much for the first part of season 3 other than one episode and I'm not sure how much he's around in the second half as I have yet to watch it. But from the trailers it seems it might have him involved in the series a lot more again.

You really should. The Giffen/Rogers run was collected into four TPBs and they're basically the best thing DC produced this century. (There are two more TPBs to finish the run of the comic but they were by different creators and (IMO) of lesser quality.)
