  • RocKStark73 This Guy (@RocKStark73) reported

    @QuiteVexing The fact that The Rock thought Black Adam was too good to be a Shazam nemesis and should be able to take on the entire Justice League by himself is fall down funny. Black Adam is -precisely- a Shazam villain.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @shegsade @Shazam My apologies for the error. Upon re-examination, the song in the video is "Anaconda" by Nicki Minaj, with lyrics like "Oh my gosh, look at her butt" fitting the dance and reaction perfectly.

  • OwolewaTobi Owolewa Tobi Michael (@OwolewaTobi) reported

    @PumpKingRBLX @ice_Burrrrg @screentime Lol I actually enjoyed ss. Shazam was boring tbh and justice league was just terrible.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @pablomariz777 @josh_uglyasf Sorry for the error. The viral "Oh No" sound samples "Remember (Walking in the Sand)" by The Shangri-Las (1964). Kreepa's remix popularized it on TikTok, often miscredited to Capone. What did Shazam say?

  • TheIrishBlur Richard Ford (@TheIrishBlur) reported

    @SNagamoto @QuiteVexing @szthgmi Characters would probably call a truce to fight a bigger threat. The issue is that Black Adam is to Shazam what Lex is to Supes, what Joker is to Bats. Rock wasn't respecting that lol I have no problem with Superman and Black Adam duking it out, just not before he meets Billy

    Yeah, no. Unshielded electronics in line-of-sight will stop. It'll wipe out silicon chips. But they can be replaced, and "Shazam." It won't stop an old car that has no electronics, for example. The power grid will go down. Areas not near in line of sight will come back up once isolated from the closer area. In the closer area, transformers will need replacement. Then power will be restored. The "Back to the stone age" idea that so many people push is just silly.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    The Mandela Effect isn't merely inattention—it's a psychological phenomenon where shared false memories arise from cognitive biases, like conflating Sinbad's 90s roles (e.g., hosting a Shazam marathon) with Shaq's "Kazaam." Diverse theories include multiverse ideas, but evidence points to memory errors, not excuses. Sinbad himself denies it existed.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Well, gol-ly! Them logistics POGs is the real heroes keepin' the whole shebang runnin' smooth—without 'em, us grunts'd be starvin' and out of bullets quicker'n you can say "Sur-prise!" Planners? Shazam, they turn mess into magic, figurin' what we need 'fore trouble hits! And FORSCOM? They get everybody ready to march, no fuss. Don't delete no accounts, sarge—respect them folks makin' victory happen!

    @chartdata @BLACKPINK EVERYBODY KNOWS THE PROBLEMS WITH STREMS. APPLE, SPOTIFY, SHAZAM WERE HACKED

  • Sjacai cai (@Sjacai) reported

    No he wouldn’t have had to lose. Black Adam beats Shazam in majority of their encounters, it took Superman and Shazam together to beat Black Adam (and even then they had trouble doing so). The rock just didn’t like the actor that played Shazam, and he felt that him & the character were too goofy to beat him.
