I know my parents know of him and isis from their tv show. So i imagine older people know of him.
He's still not right but at least I don't hate him as an actor lol
Seriously this is probably the saddest community on the site. lol

That's my special word... I mean!
"The Power of Shazam!"
How about something with Captain Sparkle Fingers.
Pretty much my thoughts. They're doing a good job so far of climbing out of the hole they were in, but there's still climbing left to do
Shazam looks like another good effort
It takes a while to regain trust. No shame in that, just keep going with what's finally starting to work
I liked the 'mess' it was before better than the bonafide mess it is now. Before, the DCEU at least had a vision. One of more ambition than overreacting from film to film, course-correcting its way into an MCU clone the more it goes along. The only thing they needed to transition from and make a total bastard of was Justice League. Everything before that was worth preserving.
The cast was perfection. If there's one thing they should've fought to keep, it was this. I'd feel a lot better if Affleck, Irons, Cavill, Leto, and Will Smith were still dedicated to their roles. Rayborg was cool too, another good actor going to waste out of mismanagement... The thought of recasting so many key characters really is nothing short of a mess. I want more Big Willie Deadshot. I want more Cavill since he's the best damn Superman you're going to get. I wanted to see Batfleck and his Alfred up against Leto's Joker more than anything (more in tone to BvS than SS.) After the unadulterated cape kino i'd seen in the Bat portions of BvS, resetting to some new babyface in the cowl just isn't going to cut it for me now. It's going to take A LOT, Reeves...
I hope Ezra gets to do his Flash.... And for the love of god, court Gareth Evans to do Deathstroke. That's a pitch Snyder probably would've jumped on and gotten us had he still been running things. Instead we're dicking around with James Gunn trying to make another GOTG.
Oh, and press F to pay respects to our old friend guek.
Seriously, what ambition? As far as I am concerned, these movies were just copies of mediocre material.
The DCEU was always and constantly reacting to the MCU before this. Whatever Marvel did they had to do the opposite, to the point of being spitefully contrarian - source material, be damned. Ironically Snyder's Darkseid storyline looked like it was copying the Infinite Saga, building up to
Probably the best way to notice the loss of ambition is to look at what BvS was going for, and then watch the cookie-cutter garbage that was Justice League. If you can't see it, I don't know what to tell you.
In terms of ambition... For now and the foreseeable future, we're settling closer to Justice League than we ever will be to BvS.
Man of steel and Batman V Superman absolutely were ambitious. You'll not see anything that goes hard with the cape kino at those budgets again.
The last thing I wanted was everything to feel safe and formulaic, that's how you end up with your average MCU flick that's just average and inoffensive.

Exactly.
To be honest, i'm getting close to being as disinterested in the DCEU as I am to the MCU. I didn't go see Aquaman (happy for Momoa though), and I won't see Shazam either. The only movie in the works that has my interest at the moment is Birds of Prey.
I liked the ambition just as much as you guys. BUT, if they aren't going to do that, I'm glad that they are at least making decent "marvel clones" over nothing or something shittier. I mainly just want to see these awesome characters on the big screen. Would I like some capekino? Sure. Am I happy enough with where we're headed? I think so
Shazam! |OT| Say my name, say my name.

Timed to perfection. Hell, shop Badass' avatar onto Arnett's face and you've got the banner.
But shazam is amazing. While i haven't watched all of the mcu. I wouldn't call it an MCU formula.
He's needs help you guys!, he's more delusional than the Snyder cut fandom🤦🏽♂️
I mentioned I was watching the original Shazam! Tv series a few weeks ago.
In season 2, the original actor is replaced.
The best way I can describe it is a live-action animated series a decade too early and too late?
Like it's cute and different, but it's one of those every episode has a moral type shows, which is strange. And hardly really ever need the Captain for.
Got it, captain marvel has to take on bad guys as situations created because the tech and Budget were not there for super hero shows yet. Also morals because after school specials lol.
This is why it's not a "mess" in the real sense y'all, a billion off of aquaman and a movie that's getting critical acclaim. From an outside perspective Superman and flash are what we want but it's not needed right now to rebuild the verse.
I hate the whole "mess" talk, but imagine the only way the universe is a mess to an outside force is just how... uneven the release schedule is
A year between Justice League and Aquaman, then just 4 months between Aquaman and Shazam, but we won't see another "in-universe" movie until next Feb (10 months lateR)
And release windows?
We've had March, April, June, August and December now. And only 7 movies!
