  @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?

  accidentally added my entire Shazam history to my Apple Music library. this was a critical error

  @Gazungamer Honestly the biggest problem with the later output of the dceu. Stuff like Shazam and TSS would’ve done wonders 5 years earlier

  @TeaRoseKent If, on the other hand... Once had to take a 25 pg brief down to 15 pgs in time to file, with only a couple of hours and without changing any legal arguments. Took out all the transitional phrases. Shazam!

  @bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. People just underestimated him and didn’t understand what he was capable of.

  @RoyalMaj3sty I’m a Seven guy, so I’d have to swap Robin and Shazam with Aquaman and Martian Manhunter. I don’t have a problem with Nightwing’s placement. I don’t think you can have Batman over Superman though . . .

  @garaa_arc The fact he refused to work with Shazam was also a huge problem. His ego got in the way.

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

  @restoreZSJL It’s quite unfortunate that they were shut down Shazam and black Adam gone 😭

  @PghPublicSafety The city of coincidence. Lets look to our past. They wanted a new stadium to replace 3 rivers. Coincidentally, a wall mysteriously falls during a game. Fake prez Joe Biden came in to town to talk about decaying bridges...Shazam.. Frick park bridge comes down same day. Now 🤔

  @the_xueyutanhua We should all agree that that Shazam run never existed, never happened, was never written. Not only did it do absolute **** for jon and Damian, but also it's main characters throughout every issue 😭

  Bumblebee Corey (@DoomCorey) reported 26 minutes ago

  @_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.

  @PsychoJX The cover of the issue is kinda misleading bruh 😭🙏 Superman isn't aura farming here. He got his *** beaten by King Shazam so bad instead

  ankle (@ankleknuckle) reported 30 minutes ago

  @DIRTBAGCLOWN @EXCELSIORSPEAKS really the titans are the bigger issue imo. unnecessary to have damian as a second robin, and having ALL of starfire, cyborg, raven, and zatanna is indulgent in a roster without like, the flash or shazam or supergirl

  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.

  I went back & reworked Jaeger Bomb 3 times. First he was a down on his luck Luchador that gets powers to fight Kaiju after he drinks. Then it was a Shazam knock off, then it went back to the first iteration but with some lore changes to give the powers history & more purpose.

  @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

  I really do hope it/when they bring Shazam into the DCU that this is the type of interaction we get. I love when they don’t realize he’s a kid at first and then it becomes an issues

  The 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

  @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.

  @bekeestitches Yeah the writing tanked it, Shazam himself was never the real problem.

  RickSeal (@Justrelaxabitt) reported 53 minutes ago

  @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.
