Reading good stuff. A lot of impressions say it's obviously not perfect but the family aspect is huge and outweighs the negatives. Zach and Freddy kill it

Wow, the Shazam movie is fun. I was hoping it would be like First Thunder where one of Billy's friends dies in a hospital after getting shot by Sivana's assassins.

Early screening tickets are coming out. I only see regal theaters in socal so far :(

Wouldn't this early screening affect the OW box office? I guess they're so confident in the word of mouth that they think they will gain more than they'll lose?

Glad it's getting good impressions. If this movie succeeds, I hope it makes DC do another Superman movie. There was only one denominator with the past movies and that seems to have gone now.

Kinda feels like this movie is gonna review in the 90's with how overly positive these impressions there. There's no, "This was fun, buuut" in any of them that I can find.

These impressions are fantastic! So glad this movie is turning out good and I really hope it does close to a bil.

Or produce I guess?

I mean Aquaman borrowed from his run
Shazam borrowed from his run
He pitched the story for Wonder Woman

technically... Justice League borrowed from his run, but a lot went wrong there
Wasn't he a producer on these? Shazam, Aquaman, and WW84(which he's also a writer on) are all on his productions site.

Random thought

Wonder Woman's first flight must be as wonderful as Superman's and would be a wonderful way to close the trilogy.

Does WW fly in every iteration? Seems weird to make her fly now, centuries later or whatever her age is
She does in every other iteration ive experienced.

Her learning to fly could have been a dope moment where she fills the absence of superman was the universe planned out better.

I'm thinking it'll happen eventually. A post in OT saying Patty Jenkins wants to direct a superman film triggered the thought in my head.

It'll succeed. It's not doing the billy some want, but it'll be comfortably profitable. Only cost $90 million to make and it'll easily gross $600 million.

Told y'all to calm down.

She should direct the Supergirl movie.

I'm just hyping with the talk of it doing a billion.

It'll make WB crazy amounts compared to the budget spent.

Here's hoping they're willing to bring the cheque book out for Black Adam in the sequel - that one could be the billion dollar Shazam movie.

Nah let her do Superman. This weird obsessions with a woman having to direct a female superhero or a person of color having direct a non white superhero is weird. If some dude can direct an awesome Supergirl or batgirl movie let him. If Patty wants to do Superman let her.

It can be strange. Sometimes it's straight up flight. Sometimes it's 'riding the wind,' so not super speed flight, but able to get around. Then there's her invisible jet.

I'd like he riding the wind thing for the movies. Rather than the one explosive nature you see with other characters, it can be graceful, more akin to a feather getting picked up by the wind.

I hope they're more characters, but I can fucking wait to see what Gunn does with that cast for SS. Peacemaker is such a choice for SS and Gunn's darker sensibilities.

I've always said they should let a woman direct Superman, bonus if it's a woman of color. We've had more than enough dudes tell stories with the character and 80% of them don't understand the character anyway. Let the ladies try.

People are gonna say I'm crazy but a Superman from Lois' POV would be great. Superman 1, MOS, and BvS had moments. But I mean, she'd ostensibly be the main character.

There's still the idea of "Woman of Kleenex," despite her more active role in MOS/BvS, but the comics have at times leaned into her being a reason why Superman can be Superman.

Things are looking up for sure. Everything looking fantastic, directors getting to do their own vision without worry of the grand picture. If they want to keep a grand picture they can use what is given to them instead of telling directors what the grand picture should be.
