  @zhang_digiden One could hope, i mean, considering to where we were before (#that Shazam Issue was last year i recall?) Their storyline is actually improving. seems like someone in the writting room aknowledges trying to break their bond is equivalent to burn money.

  @jaycubedd Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam all were good imo, the rest was terrible man

  @YagoRochaAlvz "He took down the Snyderverse" Outperformed both Shazam movies, Flash and Wonder Woman 2 and was the better movie.

  Sometimes, I wonder if Shazam has ear problems.

  @TheFilmJunkee I think the problem with the whole Shazam Black Adam stuff was it all felt so disconnected. Had they planned an actual story that would have led to the pair eventuallly battling & have Superman involved too would likely have worked much better

  @Duranous @EthanVanSciver The Beetle movie was sadly positioned at the switch over and it really was not terrible. Same with the Shazam flicks. Some of the better ones of that era. Maybe its AI but from what I understand this is who should be appearing in the next Superman movie

  Smart TVs and smart monitors are getting cheaper partly because manufacturers are turning users into a source of advertising and data revenue. Some use ACR, basically Shazam for your screen. It fingerprints what appears on the display, including content from connected devices, and sends it to a server for identification and tracking. Apparently paying for the screen no longer makes you the customer.

  @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.

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

  Hank: The Pleasant Pesant (@PesantHank) reported 25 minutes ago

  Black Adam is a terrible movie that condenses and warps Adam's character to skip to him being an anti-hero, jams a quarter of the JSA in there for some reason, excludes Shazam, and has the Rock but I liked the costumes.

  sometimes a problem arises that you just have to figure out .. someway, somehow . It's not like I was installing tiles on The Space Shuttle or solved cold fusion .. It was a carpentry problem""" .. and the problem was " How are we going to install these interior doors " .. this is generally where all the ding ****'s that built a picnic table or fixed a decking board on grandma's singlewide trailer kick in and say " Well all you gotta do " .. Like Delbert Kent stepping into a phone booth and coming out Super-Carpenter .. The problem was multifaceted and I learned a lot ,, found a new way to set doors so perfectly that they would be approved by NASA .. , Standards and Measures.. atomic clocks would be calibrated to. It was a one time deal but each had to be done 50+ times unerringly .. This was a 20 million dollar home for the owner of a baseball team . contemporary and designed by someone using massive amounts of shrooms .. The doors came in components and the parameters were . . the jambs had to sit on flooring that was pickled in France and had to fit with aircraft tolerances . the jambs were 10 ply exotic wood that was as flimsy as a wet noodle , they had an automotive finish and couldn't be fastened through .. only in the hinge mortise and the casing was also automotive finish and couldn't be face nailed , screwed or any visible fastener . That in itself kneecaps a carpenter . " No way to connect and right " only hot glue or an adhesive that once you commit to .. your doomed .. It'll take explosives to remove .. You got one take . One zinger is .. the flimsy jamb had to be set first precisely .. Not the conventional way whereas the door is in the jamb and it assist in margins and racking .. Nope .. jamb must be perfect first and when you hang that 200 lb blast door for NORAD .. all the reveals , alignments and tolerances better be Shazam .. no do overs !! .. heavy doors have a tendency to pull hard on the upper hinge and open margins on the strike side and scrub the jamb .. This would be unacceptable .. no pre-stressing . no mockup . 5 carpenters stared at these doors and mulled theoreticals for a week . the superintendent was becoming disturbed . every idea I lobbed up got swatted down .. naysayer galore since I was the knuckle dragging carpenter and didn't look like Norm or Bob with matching plaid . .. then I had an epiphany and procedure ... All the naysayers bellowed out " It can't be done like that " .. I already did it in my mind !! .. I spread my tool belt , shined my hammer and took flight and they left me alone for the duration of the job .. I won awards as " The Mad Scientist " .. I let the math do the walking .. It was Genius !! . 😎😜

  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.

  @fadotzara @TBKReturns No, I hated this universe since Superman 2025, same with the DCEU, it was terrible from the get go with horrible films like MOS and BVS, at least there were some decent movies like WW, Aquaman, and Shazam, but overall it was a terrible universe.

  Terios (@Terios_FSE) reported 38 minutes ago

  @powcampsurvivor I remember in the movie they specifically mentioned watching Godzilla too. I don't know if that was real or just a fun line cause it was around that time. He DID base a lot of his persona on Shazam though so he'd be down with the cinematic universes too.

  COSOMA’s Blank Media Levy A THREAD 1/ Everybody is arguing about COSOMA payouts, but most people don’t even know what the Blank Media Levy actually is. Some think it’s government tax. Some think it’s Spotify money. Some think COSOMA just wakes up and chooses who to pay. None of that is true. So let’s break it down. 2/ Imagine you make a song. Thousands of people save it on their phones, laptops, memory cards and flash drives. Even if they don’t sell your music, they’re still making copies of it. Now imagine trying to ask every single person to pay you. Impossible, right? 3/ That’s why copyright law created the Blank Media Levy. Instead of chasing millions of people who copy music for personal use, a small levy is collected whenever devices that can store copyrighted content are imported into Malawi. That money goes into one big pool for creators. 4/ The devices include: • Phones • Laptops • Tablets • Flash drives • Hard drives • Memory cards • CDs & DVDs Basically, anything people use to store music, movies or books. 5/ So who collects this money? MRA. Think of MRA as the cashier. When importers bring these products into Malawi, MRA collects the Blank Media Levy together with other applicable charges. It then remits the money to COSOMA. MRA doesn’t decide who gets paid. 6/ Now COSOMA has one big pot of money. Thousands of musicians, filmmakers, writers and other creators are waiting for a share. So… How does COSOMA decide who gets what? 7/ Most people think it’s based on popularity. It isn’t. COSOMA isn’t supposed to ask: “Who’s the biggest artist?” It’s supposed to ask: “Whose copyrighted work was used the most according to the data available?” 8/ Think of two students. One is the most popular kid in school. The other has perfect attendance. Those aren’t always the same person. Royalties work the same way. Popularity and measured usage are not always the same thing. 9/ So how does COSOMA measure usage? Through a monitoring system. Think of it like a football referee. The referee doesn’t guess who scored. He keeps score throughout the game. 10/ Radio stations and TV stations keep playlists and broadcast logs showing every song they play. COSOMA collects that information and uses it to estimate how often songs were broadcast. The more qualifying plays your music gets, the bigger your potential share. 11/ Many copyright societies around the world also use music recognition technology (similar to Shazam) to automatically identify songs played on radio and TV. COSOMA has said it uses monitoring and broadcast data, although it hasn’t publicly explained every technical detail of its system. 12/ Imagine the monitoring results look like this: Artist A — 1,000 plays Artist B — 700 plays Artist C — 300 plays If royalties are shared using that data, Artist A gets a bigger slice than Artist C. Simple. 13/ Now here’s where the debate begins. People ask: “What about churches?” “What about weddings?” “What about crusades?” “What about minibuses blasting gospel all day?” If those uses aren’t captured in the monitoring data, they may not significantly affect the payout. 14/ People ask the same questions about: • YouTube • Spotify • TikTok • Facebook Those don’t automatically count towards Blank Media Levy distributions because they involve different rights and different royalty systems. 15/ This is why an artist can have millions of views… Fill stadiums… Trend every week… …and still receive a royalty payment that surprises everyone. Because popularity isn’t automatically the same as documented copyright use. 16/ So why do some artists receive millions while others receive much less? Generally because of: • More qualifying radio & TV airplay • More licensed public performances • Proper registration of their works • Their ownership share of the copyright Not simply because they’re more famous.

  @xavizenberserk So you don't like any of those films? I like Peacemaker season 1. Season 2 had a lot of let down moments, and missed opportunities. I'm not saying I think James Gunn is some amazing director. He's ok. I have to like Shazam... I'm partial. Superman was OK. Had many holes.

  @NadrGo2 @BistThunder @drewmacwwe23 *Justice League* was not profitable; it was a financial loss. However, the studio pressed on because other films were highly profitable—*Shazam!* is a prime example: while its gross revenue appeared low, its profit margin was acceptable. Unfortunately, management issues arose,
