  @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

  @Mandevil23 He was terrible as Shazam. This didn’t matter in the slightest.

  @NickZednik If this is the math we are trying to math with, Levi is only one worth bringing back going by Shazam 1 performance. Anyone, burn it all down.

  @C_JuniorsMagic I admit I'm guilty of rambling about bad quality control, but it's not like we haven't had these errors before. I remember getting a DC Minis pack with 2 Firestorm Flynns and no Shazam Arry. And I have a Robo Toby misprint. These things happen.

  @GENERALZOD1886 ...Current version of diana/ Lazarus planet final issue Diana, as she has the power of both herself and SHAZAM...and never lost said power as she was incapable of giving it back to Mary Marvel.

  @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 😭

  Everyone blamed Shazam, when the real problem was the writing and how the character was handled. 😭🔥 The potential was always there.

  @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.

  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.

  Car stereo playing a song on the radio. iPhone connected via CarPlay. Opening Shazam or Apple’s own “recognize music” tool immediately shuts down the radio. I know taking over the car stereo audio when the microphone is activated is the standard behavior, but it’s kind of stupid in this scenario, right?

  @CarpetInTheRoom @BaramosGonus […] after he was fired from the Justice League production for the tragedy that even rocks now today, the “genius” executive from Warner Bros decided to step down from that story, and starting with Shazam decided to make random movies with no connections and storyline[…]

  @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.

  Popularity wise seems about right. There's some like Batgirl and Supergirl that could go up a step but at the same time I understand why they're on that spot. Same with Shazam I'm 50/50 if he should be there or one step down.

  @oluwaseun7g Doom would be a problem in DC. He would beat Dr.Fate easily and then claim the power Shazam. Instantly making him able to defeat superman. Doom would probably top 5 threats in all of DC.

  Have @SHAQ appear as Shazam. Avengers wish Doom to turn into Iron Man. Boom. Two problems solved.

  @Phenomm_ This movie could be really good, but that's still not gonna fix the many issues that DC has and the DCU as a whole. The fact that Clayface is getting a movie before Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Shazam, and other A-list heroes is a ****** crime

  @Michael78637393 @Abs0luteN0b0dy @UpdatesCAP4 Not exactly. Miracle man is not Alan moore's character. He reinvent him in his run but the character was an attempt to have a new Shazam by the same creator way back before Alan comes. After Alan Neil Gaiman also wrote a few issues
