-
yapmonster ash 𐙚 SEEING BANGTWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (@biebtanbrainrot) reportedthey did release it… my Shazam was not working omg
-
FrostyFrenchToast 🍞🎀 (@DrywoodTermite) reportedThe only defense i can give on this is that these connected universes gives a kind of “excuse” to use B & C list characters for films. Audiences swung on stuff like Antman and Shazam bc they bought into the wider storyline. The issue is the DCU doesn’t have that appeal
-
pengasys (@pengasys) reported@p3aced3fender2 @doubtfully_xD you cant shazam the song, not because its in arabic, but probably because its taken down from youtube and spotify.
-
mary.y13 (@Jenniefansgn) reportedThe 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
-
Boluwatife (@abubakirhammedb) reported@bekeestitches Everyone kept treating Shazam like the threat, when the real problem was the people manipulating the situation behind the scenes. 😭 The guy was fighting the wrong battle from the start. 💀
-
222supergamer (@222supergamer) reported@ingricma87 @mjarbo James Gunn wasn't even involved with Shazam or Blue Beetle. They also just weren't movies people were interested in. TSS was a movie during covid that released in both theaters and in HBO so no duh it didn't make money at the box office. Such terrible comparisons. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
-
ThatDeadHead (@SteveGr16838876) reported@OtunbaSebotimo The problem with the movie the kid actor acted nothing like the Shazam version, he was way too serious and didn't have the same charm
-
Dreams Uncharted Comix (@DreamsUnchartd) reported@CTPhipps1980 Well they did. They renamed him to Shazam a while back to avoid problems with Marvel I think.
-
KARMAisCOMING🌊 ˢᵏᶻ ᵃᵗᵉ (@roslavna3126372) reportedI explain: When I do shazam and clear cache then do shazam it counts like 1 When I do shazam and clear DATA then do Shazam it counts like 2 It is problem because we loose so much Shazams because this misinfo. Also It worked only on Android.
-
Socovermenow 💙 (@Socovermenoww) reportedWho tried to Shazam Han’s back to life on Spotify, do you have a problem too?🙏🏼
-
Ads (@Adsnewaccount) reported@Crazy_TFDesigns That and Shazam !People go overboard praising WW for some reason !It is a strong 8 but the final act has clear issues
-
Renier (@Renier72951774) reported@CityPowerJhb I would say turn on the lights maybe you will find the problem on block 11 and the 20 units thats off... Shazam us now come uncle. My dog is dont like the darkness..
-
Kaya 'Dalamanli' Wesley (@kayadalamanli) reportedBRRUHHHHH my Loop app is becoming wild!! OBD-II scans. a shazam for car sounds. registration and repair reminders. car wash tracking. photo & video based damage scanner for scratches, dents, broken lights, glass, and those balding tires you got Opie is turning into a co-pilot!

Screenwolf (@FArkonus) reported@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.

ɆmmΛnü℮⩚ (@nexusevent123) reported@OtunbaSebotimo @The_Big_Chifa_ One of the biggest issue was that Billy as a kid was too mature well composed and kinda mopey most times and when he becomes Shazam he acts like a complete child.
-
Red Ranger Chris (@RedRangerChris) reportedI'll always stand by the fact that Blue Beetle was the best DC movie of that year. Shazam and Aquaman were totally forgettable at best, and The Flash had too many issues that ultimately held it back.
-
Johnathan Holmes (@JoNathan129711) reported@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.
-
Gerald Dean (@Loser_Pot_tard) reported@PlayBkPlay @nikomoon I had the terrible misfortune of hearing Beach Cowboy in a Target the other day. I couldn’t believe how awful it was, and I had to Shazam it to hear who was responsible for such a musical travesty. Seriously, this is why country music gets a bad rap. Complete garbage.
-
Clipsbaba 🪖 (@Clipsbaba21) reported@bekeestitches Yeah the writing tanked it, Shazam himself was never the real problem.
-
Blackboy (@blackboyrizzy) reported@bekeestitches Shazam catching strays when he wasn’t even the problem 😭 Somebody owes bro an apology.
-
Paul Rodriguez (@PGRodriguez80) reported@KS052020 @jkbaker1117 @ParamountPics You would keep failing then. The GA do not want cbm. Unless you are OK with sub 500m box offices. That is fine if the movie has Joker or Shazam budgets. The problem with dc and now the mcu is that the fans want something the ga does not care for.
-
King Shazam (@KingShazam_) reportedThey think banishing me to the stars will save them. Let Superman build back his broken moon. I am King Shazam, and my fury will return to claim what is mine.
-
NASIR 👑 (@LongLiveNaseer) reported@bekeestitches Everyone blamed Shazam, but the real problem was deeper. Misunderstanding, manipulation, and misplaced blame all along.
-
Garfman (@GarfeldoAlfredo) reported@raingod09790030 Shazam was during the broken DCEU, not the DCU that has been solid. Go cry about it.
-
Sully (@ICSully) reported@YagoRochaAlvz "He took down the Snyderverse" Outperformed both Shazam movies, Flash and Wonder Woman 2 and was the better movie.
-
@iamLenoBoss (@LENO_BOSS1) reportedEveryone blamed Shazam, when the real problem was the writing and how the character was handled. 😭🔥 The potential was always there.
-
𝓓𝓸𝓼𝓴𝓲𝓯𝓾𝓷𝓭𝓼💰 (@Iamdoskifunds) reported@bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. The real issue was that DC never figured out how to properly position him in the bigger universe. The character had the potential—execution and consistency were the problem. ⚡
-
Joshua Knight (@Jobrin93) reported@WkndatBurnies @MikeWill_0 That’s the problem you really can’t have Black Adam story without Shazam unfortunately
-
Mimicinabox (@Mimicinabox) reported@Black_D_Gamer1 If we applied their logic, shouldn’t Shueisha or the respective authors of the earlier titles (Dragon Ball, JJK, Chainsaw Man, MHA) have issues with the later ones (Toriko, SBtMWY, Call of the Night) because of their very similar designs? But as far as I know, they’re not doing that, right? From what I’ve learned through Googling and from Grok, companies tend to go after designs that clearly infringe their trademarks rather than ones that are merely inspired by them. This applies to both U.S. and Japanese companies. The only case with enough evidence to successfully sue and win was DC v. Fawcett, regarding the similarity between Superman and Captain Marvel (later renamed Shazam after DC acquired the character). It wasn’t just the design; Fawcett’s team had deliberately studied other aspects of Superman (personality, characterization, etc.) to create their own version of “Superman,” only under a different name.

Bumblebee Corey (@DoomCorey) reported@_NamelessGoon @redaction I remember spending like 30 minutes trying to find it and had to play it on computer and Shazam on phone. So I figured I'd do some community service and just post the band name lol.
