    @TaroPh59854 @MadonnaUltimate That sounds dramatic, but it does not really hold up from a music industry standpoint. Nobody needs an organized scheme to make a record underperform. The market does that all by itself. Streaming, radio callout, playlist retention, repeat listening, TikTok traction, Shazam activity, sales stability, and week-two drops tell the story. If a song connects, it holds. If it does not, no amount of “they are trying to erase her legacy” explains the public not coming back to the track. Madonna’s legacy is not being erased. Her legacy is already written. The issue is that some fans confuse legacy with current demand. She can be the Queen of Pop historically and still have a single that does not perform like a major hit in 2026. Those two things can exist at the same time. And honestly, blaming invisible “people hungry for the Queen title” feels like a distraction from the actual rollout. If the song had smashed, nobody would be talking about conspiracies. They would be posting chart receipts. But when you have label investment, Sabrina Carpenter attached, Coachella-adjacent hype, The Abbey, Grindr promo, listening parties, and still the numbers do not match the noise, that is not a takedown campaign. That is a rollout failing to convert attention into consumption. The music business is not sentimental. It does not care how iconic you are. It cares whether people stream the song again tomorrow. Madonna is not being erased. She is being measured. And that is what some fans cannot handle.

    @DeathMetalV Maybe because too many of a certain kind of person were raised on reading science fiction where any inconvenient plot problem can be solved by simply making something up that's never existed before. Shazam! Problem solved!

    @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.

    It's labelled simply as Adagio so I tried Shazam but drew a blank. So I did the good old searching and going down rabbit holes. It is the 2nd movement of Beethoven's Piano concerto No 5.

    Remember the first time CNN and its anchors were used in a movie. Its was Contact. Then Batman v Superman and Wolf in SkyFall and MI and Shazam. But now they pop up in 3 Body Problem and its just pathetic. Can we go back to fake networks and not cheer or moan because its CNN

    Played a song and asked my roommate to guess who the artist is. Guy cheekily pulls his phone out to make it seem like he’s texting someone and i saw his hand move from the top of the screen to shazam it. Puts down his phone a few secs later of fake brainstorming he gets it right

  • Mimicinabox

    @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.

    realistically who or what are we blaming for dcs problems right now? why has supergirl underperformed as bad as blue beetle, shazam 2 and the flash? because this needs addressing

    @magmortality @MyNameIsWepeeI I have a really bad auditory processing problem and unironically just figured out today that a song I’ve been enjoying when I hear it come on is not, in fact, in English. I only figured it out because I finally thought to Shazam the song because I couldn’t remember enough words to Google it myself. I was like “wait what there’s zero English” So basically I do this to the highest degree with any song in any language :)

    . (@walrusagent) reported

    @AmazingPopPod Unwanted and unnecessary. He should’ve been the villain of Shazam 2. Instead it’s just another guy with similar powers to Superman. How many times did they end up doing that? I mean there’s so many problems with the concept of this movie I really don’t know what else to say.

  • Yash48902641

    this is currently not supported due to Android/Nothing OS limitations, rather than a Shazam permission issue. It worked on my older Poco C3, so this feels like a step backward.

    @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

    @tuvya68 @Hollywood_Solo That was even the problem with the modern Shazam movies ..that fans complained because Shazam acted exactly like Billy.

    @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.

    @BlakkMonkey @Zap_TFS @roger_stev82377 Better to shut it down than go back and forth so yep. AND on top of that, you inserted Hal in a conversation he doesn’t even compete in. Superman is the fastest non speedster character in DC and Shazam is behind him.. so where did you get Hal from? U saying he’s faster than Kent?

    @btskthv1230 @StanTae51027 Exactly! They want to drive true supporters away. We must ignore these insecure people who don’t respect or appreciate the enormous clout Taehyung brings to BTS. His brand ambassadorships have been heavily involved in promoting the group’s Arirang tour. His solo endeavors, like his first pitch at the LA Dodgers game, got the forthcoming BTS comeback mentioned to the whole world of baseball. His Chinese fanbase, Baidu V Bar was historically the largest purchaser of BTS albums. They metaphorically shoot themselves in the foot by trying to silence us into leaving. This desire to equalize the members by their own insistence is tiresome. It’s unnecessary. The members themselves said on multiple occasions in the past that Taehyung is the one with worldwide impact. It’s a known fact, yet no one needs to take him down a peg because Tae is humble. Instead, they attack his support system, the ones who stream, vote, Shazam, buy physical albums, iTunes, magazines, merch from his brands, engage with his articles, make radio requests, praise his accomplishments…and they want us to believe Tae hates us. Are they hoping we are so immature that we’ll go away crying? No one who works this hard has time for their nonsense.

    @Shakajaka1234 Charmy has been a part of the HIVE in the issue actually lmao. Which was a misunderstanding by his side. Not that he can not be Shazam, though Bumblebee makes more sense imo.

    @JovanHoward13 Crazy thing though for DC (and any superhero franchise for that matter), anyone can be casted for whatever role. I love The Rock, but he forgot he doesn't own that character like that. If they fix Shazam down the line, then so be it. I'll probs be in my 70s by then lol

    @larrytooreaal You can just take a screenshot from the edit and send to any ai it’ll give you the answer , if there’s to be something like Shazam for movies it’ll neeed access to your screen , privacy issues would arise

    @donovanmartin5 At this point I dont believe snyder will be back. Sure I preferred his style and tone. But that doesnt mean i can pretend this DCU stuff is interesting. Superman was entertaining but it still felt very cookie cutter and safe to appease all the old complaints. All these suit designs are just awful too. Supergirls box office is also telling that the dcus problems are abit more larger than a vocal minority. I dont know what the answer is for DC but I do know judging by everything since Birds of prey, shazam 2, ww84 that they need to ditch the action comedy feel good "family" stuff. Avatar is a great example of what the tone should be. Families watch avatar. They dont need to make everything "light hearted" for a family to watch it.
