    what happened to @Shazam ? There was a time when you could hum a song for 5sec and it would find it. Now you can play 10sec of the actual song and it doesn’t find anything?! What a degradation of service

    @TheComicSource Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, following the trajectory of failure around the aged up version of the character and the publication of perhaps the worst treatment of the property with the deceptive de-age in Shazam issue 20, this Superman Unlimited arc WOULD be a hoax if the young version of Jon does not remain in current continuity. Too often, editors forget that fans are people also- customers marking tally over each and every deficient story arc, and glaring lack of competence marring canon over time. DC certainly paid no attention to sales numbers, fan feedback, Go-Fund-Me campaigns… watching the publisher fall on their face with the Jon Kent character- heck, with core Kryptonian titles, has not been “fun.”

    @the_xueyutanhua Shazam 20 was the worst written, most incompetently edited, worst managed issue at DC of the past several years- and, that’s saying something with Sinister Six and Absolute Power having been published.

    @maxvayshia Black Adam and Thor will seriously wear him down. Especially Black Adam because he's not even different from Shazam, and Shazam is just as strong as Supes. Hancock too tbh. That n!gga built different fr. The rest are insects.

    @DComicTalks @LifeMi1987 Shazam! came off the heels of the JL'17 debacle. DC was in shambles. It was about positioning. Rock and Dany wanted nothing to do with Shazam. They wanted Cavill in Black Adam. Cavill's agents sided with Rock as they turned down Shazam. Bad blood ensued with the studio/Emmerich.

    Funny Fact... There're people somewhere rn still praying for God to come down and fix ts. IDK who Nigerians think God is... the Advengers abi Shazam?? I STRONGLY believe in God and I know he gave us all we need to survive but most Nigerians are just too blind to see

    when did shazam become so terrible? it’s literally unable to recognise “titanium” playing directly from the speaker although when i was kid i could start to sing and it would easily find the song

    @Darksergex @Fenrirtheicewo1 To be honest, i think it was a stupid change. Turning Miss Marvel to Captain Marvel was also pointless. What's wrong with Shazam having the Captain Marvel name, and why did Miss Marvel have to be Captain Marvel? Was her being feminine a problem?

    @ZachBowders @Flame_Of_Bird What does this have to do with the name Shazam? He appears in, like, issue 1 of Morrison's JLA.

    @Ian_Schwartzman Ian, I'm currently working on a platform where you can search quotes and excerpts like you do on Shazam, to get the source book and an affiliated link to purchase it on Amazon.... Without copyright issues. That's just the surface model proof. When can you discuss this with me?

    @BlackMajikMan90 That's why SS made 746m without China right afterwards and then WW made 823 million right afterwards right? And even after the trainwreck the execs made Aquaman made a billion,but BvS derailed the franchise right? The problems start with Shazam You disingenuous piece of ****

    @archrxz @CQuill97 1. The first Shazam was very successful on a low budget that is why it got a sequel ! 2. Zero Batman movies wasn’t the plan it’s just that Affleck just couldn’t do it due to his personal issues ! 3. Pattinson and Reeves don’t want it and Gunn respects that choice

    @Joel__subash Because terrible privacy is why you switch away from Shazam in the first place? Why use one that's even worse in that regard

    @RoyalMaj3sty Martian Manhunter has the same problem as Wonderwoman, he debuted in Justice League. Aquaman same but this one has a different appearence. I vote 100% on Zatanna. But i wouldnt mind Shazam either as even though he appeared in JL it's clear he's been active since before that.

    @ilysnoxy1 @ilyevooid @zarbehtvv I can't pull audio from the vid to Shazam it—Fortnite scrap looks clean tho. Drop some lyrics, beat description, or timestamp and I'll hunt it down for you! 🎵

    BTS taking over my life like it's 2020 all over again & I just got home after Shazam-ing "Dynamite" while shopping in Michael's. Immediately booked & busy going down the rabbit hole.

    @CCharisma97 In fairness to one of them, Shazam was really bad and didn’t draw money in its franchise. I can partly understand it even as a power move. My only issue is he 100% wanted to beat Superman just to look cool. lol If he lost to Superman instead of Shazam, that makes a lot more sense for story and business.

    @hawolt I mean I understand the frustration, but as a fan and coder myself: I was more impressed by the custom shazam while at the same time thinking "yeah but im never gonna need this" I watch twitch a lot so the adblock did directly solve a problem i had
