The post-credits scene for “Blue Beetle” is vastly completely different from the mid-credits scene. Following within the custom of many different superhero films, that is only a humorous gag, referenced earlier within the film. Within the case of “Blue Beetle,” it is a callback to a scene whereby Jaime’s uncle Rudy (performed by George Lopez) hacks into Kord Industries by flooding their safety feeds with clips of a stop-motion animated model of the enduring Mexican superhero sitcom “El Chapulín Colorado.” The present is a parody of superheroes, starring the titular Chapulín Colorado (the Crimson Grasshopper), a weak, clumsy hero with no powers, however whose coronary heart of gold conquered generations of Latinos ever for the reason that ’70s.
Creator and star Roberto Gómez Bolaños as soon as described the enchantment of the character as an actual hero by evaluating it to American characters like Batman and Superman, saying El Chapulín is a real hero as a result of he isn’t highly effective or fearless. “Heroism shouldn’t be about missing concern, however overcoming it,” he stated in an interview. “El Chapulín Colorado is scared to demise, he is clumsy, weak, foolish, and he is conscious of those flaws as he faces the issue.”
“Blue Beetle” is all about legacy, so it’s fairly cool that the film additionally pays homage to the unique Mexican superhero.
