    @xstinamendez Am I going crazy or is that Mall Grab tune pitched down or something? I thought it was a remix but Shazam picked it up as the original.

    @TheBatspecter It really was the DCEU itself, Lego DC was at its best at that time (add to that the success of Lego Batman Movie)Lego DC really went down the drain when the movies didn't seem to have direction (you know, Shazam, Joker, TSS, SnyderCut) The only one that had a set was WW84.

    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.

    @GunntArchive dc movies are doomed because they never learn; the fandom is fractured and they know this but instead of fixing this; they just double down on hating on zack snyder to convince you to support new dc movies it didnt work for black adam, shazam or blue beetle; theyre all idiots

    Google Pixel used to have a cool feature with Now Playing. It had the silent drop down notification. Now it's basically Shazam. Why do I have to open the app or turn off my phone to view the lock screen to know what's playing? So inconvenient

    @damiebi10 JLA flopped, Shazam flopped both of them, Blue beetle flopped, wonder woman '84 flopped, flash definitely flopped despite cameos from JLA members, and Aquaman 2, flopped, yeah you guys never talk about the terrible second half you had.

    @ingricma87 @mjarbo James Gunn wasn't even involved with Shazam or Blue Beetle. They also just weren't movies people were interested in. TSS was a movie during covid that released in both theaters and in HBO so no duh it didn't make money at the box office. Such terrible comparisons. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

    @LPNH There needs to be a Superhero who's the reverse of Shazam; he's superpowered until someone calls him a "******" and it powers him down into a child.

    Anti-Flag - “Broken Bones” it's whatever Arkells - “Whistleblower” don't like this band at all but this has some energy to it it's decent Band of Skulls - “The Devil Takes Care of His Own” i blame the black keys for all the mid blues rock they kept putting in these games Bassnectar - “Pennywise Tribute” 7/10 i don't even know much you could even call this a remix but the original is cool Battleme - “Shoot the Noise, Man” even the electric stuff has to be bluesy apparently Classified - “Run with Me” this is so so bad i can't even pretend to like it for halifax reasons Foxy Shazam - “I Like It” the uncensored chorus is insane. song's so ******* annoying Gaslight Anthem - “45” good song on imo a great album The Heavy - “What Makes a Good Man” pretty cool stuff The Hives - “I Want More” good band but really annoying Monster Truck - “Seven Seas Blues” it's fine but enough of the big burly beard blues rock My Darkest Days - “Save Yourself” at least it's catchy but i hate the hot topic pop metal The Offspring - “Days Go By” maybe the most shameless rip off song i've ever heard, just cover foo fighters instead Shinedown - “Bully” garbage Thousand Foot Krutch - “Light Up the Sky” no

    4. Visual Intelligence point at anything, know everything. Press and hold the Camera Control button. Point your camera at anything. A plant: species identification and care instructions. A restaurant: reviews, hours, and menu. A sign in another language: instant translation. A product: price comparison and purchase links. A dog: breed identification. A building: historical information and architecture details. A math equation: solved. A business card: contact saved automatically. A food dish: calorie and nutrition estimate. This is Google Lens + ChatGPT + Shazam in one gesture. Built into the camera. No app needed. No typing. It also works on photos already in your Camera Roll. Open a screenshot. Activate Visual Intelligence. It reads and responds to whatever's in the image. Most owners have never held the Camera Control button for 2 seconds. The entire AI visual engine sits behind a long press nobody tries.

    @thorkahh @iREUS_SA I kinda wonder where the spikes come from. I’m not all the way caught up. I just finished issue Abs Superman #20. I wasn’t sure if that was John Henry Irons or if it was Superman himself in that upgraded armor he wore when he pushed King Shazam to another planet in space

    @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.

    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.

    @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.

  • 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.

    He was literally doing the job of a studio CEO in trying to make his company’s product better after audiences not being thrilled with it If the film had been scoring better and not in the same range as Shazam 2 and Batgirl in the 60’s, there would have been no issues

    @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.
