Do you think in the year 2006 when Keith Giffen and/or John Rogers were talking to the blue beetle editor people they pitched Peacemaker being there like
“ok so we were gonna give Jaime like a older superhero mentor as both kind of a contrast to him and someone to show him the ropes, someone with alot of experience unlike Jaime and who knows what hes doing, and hes gonna be a little jaded and have kind of a dark past to kind of fit into the theme of choosing your own path and not being bound to a certain destiny”
And everyone was fully onboard until they revealed like a horror movie plot twist that they were talking about this guy
#I know they probably werent literally doing that in 2006 you get what I mean.#I think about the decision to put him there alot#People keep asking me if he should be in the blue beetle movie and its still like. man I have no idea#I WANT him there but for the movie I think he maybe shouldnt be?#Jaime's had like a few adaptations now I think and Peacemakers never come up#I do think a character like him should be there but I'd forgive them if it wasnt actually Peacemaker#I think they were also kind of able to get away with doing that to him because he'd been dead for a decade at that point and#people in 2006 probably werent that interested in Peacemaker#now putting John Cena there might take too much of the focus off Jaime#I am literally the only person on this planet who was reading Blue Beetle for Peacemaker it was just me.#they could make it some other washed up antihero#Fuck it put Wild Dog in there I dont care#OK Im also realizing part of the thing here is like#If Jaimes getting a MOVIE then a character like Peacemaker doesnt have to be there at all#A character like that works in a comic or a show. Any kind of longform media#but for like a 2 hour movie you dont really need gruff mentor guy who knows a little more about whats happening#So final stance Peacemaker should not be there. thank you#I was thinking too like Comic Book Brain there
