  Group A was wronged by entity B. Group A goes to court to seek restitution from entity B. Courts rule that entity B did in fact cause damages to group A and must be held liable.

  That’s all reparations are. Entity B is your government. It’s the same legal entity as it was 190 years ago, regardless of the composition of the population it represents. If a group was wronged by their government, this is their only means to legal restitution. Unfortunately since the primary form of income for some governments is taxation, it means people complain about paying for things when that’s not exactly what’s happening.

  The alternative is to say that if a government “runs out the clock” and is able to avoid responsibility until the population turns over, then they can no longer be held liable for anything they did prior to that point. That’s not a very good position, in my opinion.

  I thought it was okay, which as you said is almost par for the course, but it felt like a generic Marvel movie whereas the first two had some fun heist elements to them. Gave them a unique feel within the MCU that I missed in this one.

  This would cover things like hunting and/or target practice at a home or private property, so not entirely that weird.

  Hopefully word of mouth can drive interest if it really is good, because the marketing for it so far has felt very much like another generic DCU movie and Blue Beetle obviously doesn’t have the name recognition that the other franchises do.
