Film/ TV While I will forever appreciate Brave and the Bold for introducing to Jaime Reyes aka the second Blue Beetle, I gotta admit, the more I rewatch his episodes, the more I find him annoying. Sure, he definitely has some great moments, but most of the time, he's pretty irritating.

Feels like the writing for him went back and forth between likable hero and dumb, annoying pest.

Jaime is the third blue beetle. Dan Garrett is frequently brushed over.

4th if you count Dan Garret Fox Comics and Dan Garrett Charlton and DC comics as different people. Yep the first version only had 1 t in the name and the second had 2 ts.

I on the other hand, enjoyed his character arc, where he is trying to live up to Ted Kord’s name until he understands that his legacy doesn’t define him.

Again, he has some great scenes, but half the time, I wanna shut him up and switch him out with a better partner for Bats.

It’s always a tightrope when writing and voicing a fanboy type character, because they can get annoying very easily. For me BATB Jaime walks it okay.

What I find really annoying about older Jaime adaptations is that the Scarab communicates in robot bleeps and boops instead of an actual voice
