Mr. Reyes, Blue Beetle
What makes Blue Beetle work so well is how much the Reyes family is put at the forefront, even when the super heroics take center stage. Because they’re so prevalent in Jaime’s life and they all play off each other so well, it makes things hit that much harder when Jaime’s father Alberto suffers a heart attack as the family’s house is getting raided and no one is able to do so much as even be near him. For a film that takes comfort in playing the old superhero hits, Alberto’s death is a surprisingly solid twist it manages to keep hidden until the last possible moment.
