Isn't that contradictory? Why hasn't anyone else picked up on that?Blue Beetle was referring to the fact that his scarab is from the Reach, the scarab is the Reach technologyExactly my point. The Reach said they were unarmed, but the scarab is reach technology and is a weapon, so....the reach told the press or media or the people of the earth the reach ' came ' to earth ' peacefully ', the scarab technology blue beetle posess was long before the reach came on earth , and also the reach telling the press they came in peace is like a politician promising you something , it's the other way around My point is that the scarab is a weapon/its tools function as weapons. The Reach basically said, sorry Earth, we don't have any weapons that we can use to defend you or help you, we can't do anything but hold a press conference. Yet they later, they said that Blue was responsible for stopping Warworld, with a weapon/"opportunity" provided by the Reach. So they are contradicting themselves. They both be incapable of countering Warworld AND have given Blue the tool needed/capability to stop Warworld at the same time. It's completely contradictory
