    @juicyrosie23 Hulk and Thor have a chance. Thor has canonically beaten Shazam, and Hulk has canonically fought Superman while NOT angry, and Supes admitted it took everything he had to take Hulk down. Stark… a scant possibility if he figures out kryptonite. Cap? Sorry, NO.

    @axel12381403 @FandomWasp I think this was miles better than the shazam issue though this was actually meaningful to Jon's character and was never meant to be a supersons thing, plus its in Txyz character to mock Jon with the aging up comment, he's trying to ruin Jon so he never gets defeated eventually

    @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.

    @parkerslawyer I won’t deny Diana is in need of content, but this is a terrible argument to make when Booster Gold has nothing to his name compared to Diana carrying a previous universe with Aquaman and Shazam, pretending Superman doesn’t exist outside of false promises with cameos.

    @Blu_lulululu @iansmith06 @benardonhard Brother the same people handling the dcu rn have been in DC since 2021 making all those terrible movies like flash, aquaman 2, birds of prey, Shazam 2. James Gunn, Peter Saran, Christina, Andy mushetti. All these people made trash dceu movies before the reboot and stayed after.

    @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.

    @CTPhipps1980 Well they did. They renamed him to Shazam a while back to avoid problems with Marvel I think.

    @DGen_Media I mean, it really wasn't. The problem is it came out too late after being announced and it didn't have Shazam involved.

    @Sukiihiro @FitMarshmellow Genuinely Bendis may have set Jon back by a thousand years but Taylor doubled down and set him back even further Throw in Sina Grace too for good measure just for the way he wrote Damian in that Shazam issue

    @WongUpdates That was cool as ****. I'll never forgive the internet for gaslighting us into thinking Black Adam was a terrible movie cause the Rock didn't want to interact with those mid *** Shazam movies

    @BrownBastard90 @sonyabladesbf Comics & games & DCTV was doing fine at the time. Most DCEU movies post-Aquaman 1 were doing terrible and that’s on BVS? What about Shazam or Birds of Prey?

    This COSOMA debate made me realize something… A thread 1/ While everyone is arguing about royalty payouts, I’m seeing something different. I’m seeing a system problem. And software problems are meant to be solved. 2/ If artists don’t fully trust how royalties are calculated… If the public doesn’t understand the monitoring system… If people keep asking where the numbers come from… That’s a transparency problem. Transparency is exactly what technology can improve. 3/ Imagine a platform that monitors radio and TV broadcasts in real time. Not guesses. Not spreadsheets passed around. Actual digital monitoring with an auditable trail. 4/ Imagine every song played being automatically detected using audio fingerprinting—similar to how Shazam recognizes music. Every play gets recorded. Every record has a timestamp. Every calculation can be traced. 5/ Now imagine every artist having their own dashboard. “My song played 287 times this month.” “These are the stations.” “These are the broadcasts.” “This is exactly how my royalty was calculated.” No mystery. Just data. 6/ The platform could also allow broadcasters to upload playlists digitally instead of relying only on manual submissions. Everything becomes faster. Everything becomes easier to audit. Everything becomes more transparent. 7/ And why stop there? Churches… Event organizers… Festivals… DJs… Could also submit licensed digital setlists. The more legitimate usage we capture, the fairer the royalty system becomes. 8/ This isn’t just a COSOMA solution. It’s a solution for every collective management organization across Africa that struggles with monitoring, reporting and royalty distribution. That’s a regional software market. 9/ This is the type of software Malawi can build. We don’t always have to import technology. Sometimes we should build the infrastructure ourselves. 10/ That’s why I’m putting this idea out there. I’m looking for partners who believe Malawi can build world-class technology. Investors. Government. COSOMA. Broadcasters. Let’s build it together. 11/ Imagine Malawi becoming the country that develops one of Africa’s most transparent copyright royalty systems. Not because we complained. Because we built the solution. 12/ Sometimes the biggest opportunities don’t come from asking, Why is the system like this? They come from asking, What if I built something better?

    @bekeestitches Yeah the writing was the real issue. Shazam himself was never the problem.

    @GunntArchive dc movies are doomed because they never learn; the fandom is fractured and they know this but instead of fixing this; they just double down on hating on zack snyder to convince you to support new dc movies it didnt work for black adam, shazam or blue beetle; theyre all idiots

    SUPERGIRL is tracking around $125 million worldwide, below BLUE BEETLE, SHAZAM! FURY OF THE GODS, and 2015’s FANTASTIC FOUR. Audiences clearly rejected it. Which is odd, because it’s not bad. Milly Alcock works, it moves fast, and it’s a decent watch. So what went wrong? The release date hurt, sandwiched between TOY STORY 5 and MINIONS & MONSTERS, but that’s not the whole story. SUPERMAN was huge last year, and her cameo landed fine, yet it didn’t translate into interest. The real issue: people had no reason to care. Maybe MAN OF TOMORROW should’ve come first, build her alongside Superman before a solo film. Instead, DC gave her one cameo and hoped that was enough. It wasn’t. This might be what superhero fatigue actually is, not the genre, but characters audiences were never given a reason to invest in.

    Anti-Flag - “Broken Bones” it's whatever Arkells - “Whistleblower” don't like this band at all but this has some energy to it it's decent Band of Skulls - “The Devil Takes Care of His Own” i blame the black keys for all the mid blues rock they kept putting in these games Bassnectar - “Pennywise Tribute” 7/10 i don't even know much you could even call this a remix but the original is cool Battleme - “Shoot the Noise, Man” even the electric stuff has to be bluesy apparently Classified - “Run with Me” this is so so bad i can't even pretend to like it for halifax reasons Foxy Shazam - “I Like It” the uncensored chorus is insane. song's so ******* annoying Gaslight Anthem - “45” good song on imo a great album The Heavy - “What Makes a Good Man” pretty cool stuff The Hives - “I Want More” good band but really annoying Monster Truck - “Seven Seas Blues” it's fine but enough of the big burly beard blues rock My Darkest Days - “Save Yourself” at least it's catchy but i hate the hot topic pop metal The Offspring - “Days Go By” maybe the most shameless rip off song i've ever heard, just cover foo fighters instead Shinedown - “Bully” garbage Thousand Foot Krutch - “Light Up the Sky” no

    @Starseaman71 @FernKalm @JamesPrescott77 And yeah Aquaman and Shazam worked, that's been my point, BvS was bad, and fully because of Zack, but JL was worst, that became because of the studio interference, regardless of John's, the studio still did, and yet after 2 bad movies, those 2 were able to be received well and perform well. So clearly the issue wasn't Zack made a bad movie,he didn't make half a dozen worst **** that droped after JL
