In the world of superheroes, there are always two camps, MARVEL and DC. After all, these two companies can compete directly from the comic to the movie era! Recently, the new DC superhero movie “Blue Beetle” has released a trailer, launching the first Latino superhero! However, after the trailer of “Blue Beetle” was exposed, it was bombarded by netizens that it is a combination of Marvel heroes!
“Blue Beetle” employs many Latino actors, and the male lead is starring Xolo Maridueña. And the character in “Blue Beetle” also changed the setting that most superheroes have to hide their identities, open the fast food packaging box in front of their families, and transform into a blue beetle in front of them.
However, the movie has yet to be released and has attracted significant controversy. Many netizens believe Blue Beetle’s superhero armour model has copied Marvel’s superheroes in many ways. It can be seen from the trailer that it is suspected that Iron Man + Spider-Man and the villain Yellowjacket of the “Ant-Man” series are combined with different styling elements and have been criticized for being unoriginal.
It can be seen from the trailer that although the helmet and mask of the Blue Beetle’s armour are changed to blue and black, the design is very similar to the armour of the movie version of Iron Man. In Avengers: Infinity War, the Mark 50 armour, the first to utilize nanotechnology, looks very similar when it debuts.
The back of the blue beetle armour is equipped with two mechanical tentacles, spray devices and insect wings—A set of horned wasp warriors and even an armoured wasp with flying insect wings.
After many netizens found out, they criticized DC for plagiarism, but it was not enough for many who supported “Blue Beetle”! Although only sporadic foreign netizens expressed their resistance to watching the movie, it is believed that the discussion of suspected plagiarism will continue to ferment, which will also harm the movie’s box office performance when it is released in the middle of the year.
