Part 8/9:
Many critics and viewers argue that the quality of the films has significantly contributed to their poor performance. Unlike pandemic-related releases, the recent string of failures tend to lack the buzz, critical praise, or audience enthusiasm necessary to sustain success. The rushed HBO Max releases and inconsistent storytelling may have further eroded confidence.
In conclusion, Blue Beetle's performance shouldn't be dismissed as mere weather blip but seen as part of a larger issue plaguing Warner Bros. and DC Films. The studio’s attempt at damage control, citing external factors, seems inadequate in masking a declining franchise that needs a major overhaul—both creatively and strategically.
