Blue Beetle: First flight

Normally in superhero movies, that initial moment where the hero zips around town (or the planet) with their powers is meant to be promising, or at the very least kind of fun. That’s… not really the case in Blue Beetle: watching the Scarab transform Jaime’s body for the first time is a little horrific. Likewise, seeing it take him for a joyride to fly around and get its bearings is terrifying and it becomes clear that his great power may come with greater terror.
