• 
  The Arkane Slayer🦇451 (@TheArkaneSlayer) reported 8 minutes ago

  @CarpetInTheRoom @BaramosGonus […] after he was fired from the Justice League production for the tragedy that even rocks now today, the “genius” executive from Warner Bros decided to step down from that story, and starting with Shazam decided to make random movies with no connections and storyline[…]

  @bekeestitches Everyone blamed Shazam, when the real problem was the writing and how the character was handled. 😭🔥 The potential was always there.

  Governor Shazam will be worse than Mr Jeans. No plans to fix housing issues in Lagos.

  @ClassicKun93 Please, stop larping as someone with intelligence. MAWS season 3 was terrible- the show should be done. Snyder’s universe wasn’t great nor Shazam nor Black Adam nor, Supergirl- although, it had moments. You may go, ClassicBaka.

  The Shazam issue has been fixed but we won't be able to reach our goal I really hope this doesn't happen again especially since there are covers of the other leaked songs as well

  @esosaleonard @farbulou One of my major problems with DC and Superman is their inconsistency with him. Magic has been stated a long time a ago to be one of Superman's major weaknesses. Him beating Shazam didn't make sense That bother is not beating Doom

  @bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. People just underestimated him and didn’t understand what he was capable of.

  @restoreZSJL It’s quite unfortunate that they were shut down Shazam and black Adam gone 😭

  @RoyalMaj3sty I’m a Seven guy, so I’d have to swap Robin and Shazam with Aquaman and Martian Manhunter. I don’t have a problem with Nightwing’s placement. I don’t think you can have Batman over Superman though . . .

  @Duranous @EthanVanSciver The Beetle movie was sadly positioned at the switch over and it really was not terrible. Same with the Shazam flicks. Some of the better ones of that era. Maybe its AI but from what I understand this is who should be appearing in the next Superman movie

  Johnathan Holmes (@JoNathan129711) reported 38 minutes ago

  @netrusila_maxim @warnerbros Snyderverse was ****. Sure, they had some good movies like Zack Snyd Snyder's Justice League, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam, and Blue Beetle. But it also had terrible people (Ezra Miller), and it tried to be many things. #SnyderverseisDead, and it is better if it stays that way.

  @ShempMeister They should be for whomever is willing to turn out and watch them. But even in comics there are age ranges. Hellblazer and Watchmen was never intended for 8 year olds. Shazam/Captain Marvel was clearly intended for them. Marvel on the whole was intended for teenagers and should really be aimed at kids around 13-15. Almost adult, but not quite. It’s a point where children and adults can enjoy it but the focus is teenagers. It’s why Spidey started at the age he did. DC varied by comic and I’d argue Batman, being obviously influenced by a combination of The Shadow and Universal Horror movies of the 30”s was always intended for a more mature audience. I mean he killed people no problem initially, only when they started teaming him with Supes did they soften him. This is why DC would perhaps be better off not trying to ram everyone into the same cinematic universe.

  @PsychoJX The cover of the issue is kinda misleading bruh 😭🙏 Superman isn't aura farming here. He got his *** beaten by King Shazam so bad instead

  @damiebi10 JLA flopped, Shazam flopped both of them, Blue beetle flopped, wonder woman '84 flopped, flash definitely flopped despite cameos from JLA members, and Aquaman 2, flopped, yeah you guys never talk about the terrible second half you had.

  @TheFilmJunkee I think the problem with the whole Shazam Black Adam stuff was it all felt so disconnected. Had they planned an actual story that would have led to the pair eventuallly battling & have Superman involved too would likely have worked much better

  Blake “Axe” Avignon (@bobby_s_axelrod) reported 45 minutes ago

  @DosEvil @TheRock Biggest mistake was not playing his ego down and crossing over to Shazam. You’re a villain, lose magnificently and enjoy the work. He turned into a mark for Black Adam.

  M.G. Siegler (@mgsiegler) reported 48 minutes ago

  Insta-reaction: it’s fine but the old one was iconic. The new ‘r’ is clearly an issue. At first glance looks like “Ins tag zam” sort of “Shazam”-y.

  COSOMA’s Blank Media Levy A THREAD 1/ Everybody is arguing about COSOMA payouts, but most people don’t even know what the Blank Media Levy actually is. Some think it’s government tax. Some think it’s Spotify money. Some think COSOMA just wakes up and chooses who to pay. None of that is true. So let’s break it down. 2/ Imagine you make a song. Thousands of people save it on their phones, laptops, memory cards and flash drives. Even if they don’t sell your music, they’re still making copies of it. Now imagine trying to ask every single person to pay you. Impossible, right? 3/ That’s why copyright law created the Blank Media Levy. Instead of chasing millions of people who copy music for personal use, a small levy is collected whenever devices that can store copyrighted content are imported into Malawi. That money goes into one big pool for creators. 4/ The devices include: • Phones • Laptops • Tablets • Flash drives • Hard drives • Memory cards • CDs & DVDs Basically, anything people use to store music, movies or books. 5/ So who collects this money? MRA. Think of MRA as the cashier. When importers bring these products into Malawi, MRA collects the Blank Media Levy together with other applicable charges. It then remits the money to COSOMA. MRA doesn’t decide who gets paid. 6/ Now COSOMA has one big pot of money. Thousands of musicians, filmmakers, writers and other creators are waiting for a share. So… How does COSOMA decide who gets what? 7/ Most people think it’s based on popularity. It isn’t. COSOMA isn’t supposed to ask: “Who’s the biggest artist?” It’s supposed to ask: “Whose copyrighted work was used the most according to the data available?” 8/ Think of two students. One is the most popular kid in school. The other has perfect attendance. Those aren’t always the same person. Royalties work the same way. Popularity and measured usage are not always the same thing. 9/ So how does COSOMA measure usage? Through a monitoring system. Think of it like a football referee. The referee doesn’t guess who scored. He keeps score throughout the game. 10/ Radio stations and TV stations keep playlists and broadcast logs showing every song they play. COSOMA collects that information and uses it to estimate how often songs were broadcast. The more qualifying plays your music gets, the bigger your potential share. 11/ Many copyright societies around the world also use music recognition technology (similar to Shazam) to automatically identify songs played on radio and TV. COSOMA has said it uses monitoring and broadcast data, although it hasn’t publicly explained every technical detail of its system. 12/ Imagine the monitoring results look like this: Artist A — 1,000 plays Artist B — 700 plays Artist C — 300 plays If royalties are shared using that data, Artist A gets a bigger slice than Artist C. Simple. 13/ Now here’s where the debate begins. People ask: “What about churches?” “What about weddings?” “What about crusades?” “What about minibuses blasting gospel all day?” If those uses aren’t captured in the monitoring data, they may not significantly affect the payout. 14/ People ask the same questions about: • YouTube • Spotify • TikTok • Facebook Those don’t automatically count towards Blank Media Levy distributions because they involve different rights and different royalty systems. 15/ This is why an artist can have millions of views… Fill stadiums… Trend every week… …and still receive a royalty payment that surprises everyone. Because popularity isn’t automatically the same as documented copyright use. 16/ So why do some artists receive millions while others receive much less? Generally because of: • More qualifying radio & TV airplay • More licensed public performances • Proper registration of their works • Their ownership share of the copyright Not simply because they’re more famous.

  @apinionsvary We need to bring back public executions. I'd be glad to pull the lever or the trigger myself. In fact, we could have an auction for the privilege. The state would save ton of money on housing them and make a profit from the auction. One year and one day for appeals and then, Shazam, Game over. I am by no means joking. When you cross the line that far, as in child ****... You no longer human being in my book. We should castrate them with a rusty knife first, and then hang them. If we did it like that, publicly (Maybe private on the castration part) you want to bet that would be a deterrent!? I could do it easily And then sit down to a full meal. I lived on a ranch for a couple of years and I had to butcher some animals. I was more remorseful about that than I would be for these guys here.

  @DIRTBAGCLOWN @EXCELSIORSPEAKS really the titans are the bigger issue imo. unnecessary to have damian as a second robin, and having ALL of starfire, cyborg, raven, and zatanna is indulgent in a roster without like, the flash or shazam or supergirl
