And I helped! :)
But seriously, even among comics nerds, B.B. is largely an unknown property and the super generic trailers didn't help.
Doesn't help that it just looks like an off-brand Iron Man. I saw one trailer and had no desire to watch anything related to it

It's Iron Man, but replace the alcoholic billionaire with a broke fresh college graduate, and replace Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan with a multi-generational Hispanic family.
Movie looked like total garbage based on the trailers.
It's a good comics movie. They did a pretty good job of covering 83 years of comic book history spread across three characters.
