Robert Arndt (@RobertA47199577) reported@RepPettersen @OKStormTrax Then self deport. Sorry no sympathy for those who came in illegally. Go home and do it the right way! Just a small portion of what your party let in under Biden. Don’t like deportations. Then close the damb border. Shazam!!! Problem solved!!

Eat_My_Shorts (@YULITTL) reported@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.

Atro (@Atrocitus2008) reported@roger_stev82377 Shazam would have no issues even if they all came at him at once.

James L. Greenlee (@GreenleeGazette) reported@SpeelingBChamp @CaraAxtell @TheBabylonBee "Miracles" are plot-hole spackle. It literally fixes any logical problems with any story in the bible. It's magic. Magic can do anything, so no matter what problem there might be, shazam! Magic! It's juvenile silliness to me.

herb 🌿 (@theybert) reportedshazam is the worst card service out there LET ME SPEND MY ******* MONEY

John Rocha (@TheRochaSays) reportedWhen you look at this DC movies run from Man of Steel to #Supergirl (removing the TV shows here), this is a monumentally terrible run. At some point, it's WB that's the issue here. WW, Shazam (maybe), Joker, The Batman and Superman are the only qualified successes artistically and financially. Aquaman made a billion, but it's a **** of a movie. I love Man of Steel and it turned a tidy profit, but it didn't blow up the box office. Everything else is mostly a crash and burn, a slight disappointment or a moderate success. This is a Jets or Browns team going 5-12 for the NFL season. YIKES!
-
F Shuggi (@official_fkb) reported@ShaySiblings @mideysmith You guys need to stop with this Sentry glazing and all that, just cos he's one of your fav xters. The only person he might be able to take down on this list might be maybe WW & Shazam(kid brain), but he ain't soloing no one here.

Mason mount (@mount4life) reported@Exchronos @Steveroger3277 Shazam 2 had a weak plot and terrible acting
-
THE CAPTAIN ⚡️ (@Lightingclap) reported@UpbvatReporter “A-an interview?” Shazam stammered nervously as he looked down at the reporter. He laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. “With me? Are you sure? There’s plenty of other heroes around.”

Recovery Simp (@recovery_simp) reportedThis COSOMA debate made me realize something… A thread 1/ While everyone is arguing about royalty payouts, I’m seeing something different. I’m seeing a system problem. And software problems are meant to be solved. 2/ If artists don’t fully trust how royalties are calculated… If the public doesn’t understand the monitoring system… If people keep asking where the numbers come from… That’s a transparency problem. Transparency is exactly what technology can improve. 3/ Imagine a platform that monitors radio and TV broadcasts in real time. Not guesses. Not spreadsheets passed around. Actual digital monitoring with an auditable trail. 4/ Imagine every song played being automatically detected using audio fingerprinting—similar to how Shazam recognizes music. Every play gets recorded. Every record has a timestamp. Every calculation can be traced. 5/ Now imagine every artist having their own dashboard. “My song played 287 times this month.” “These are the stations.” “These are the broadcasts.” “This is exactly how my royalty was calculated.” No mystery. Just data. 6/ The platform could also allow broadcasters to upload playlists digitally instead of relying only on manual submissions. Everything becomes faster. Everything becomes easier to audit. Everything becomes more transparent. 7/ And why stop there? Churches… Event organizers… Festivals… DJs… Could also submit licensed digital setlists. The more legitimate usage we capture, the fairer the royalty system becomes. 8/ This isn’t just a COSOMA solution. It’s a solution for every collective management organization across Africa that struggles with monitoring, reporting and royalty distribution. That’s a regional software market. 9/ This is the type of software Malawi can build. We don’t always have to import technology. Sometimes we should build the infrastructure ourselves. 10/ That’s why I’m putting this idea out there. I’m looking for partners who believe Malawi can build world-class technology. Investors. Government. COSOMA. Broadcasters. Let’s build it together. 11/ Imagine Malawi becoming the country that develops one of Africa’s most transparent copyright royalty systems. Not because we complained. Because we built the solution. 12/ Sometimes the biggest opportunities don’t come from asking, Why is the system like this? They come from asking, What if I built something better?

JUSTIN (@JustinMKowalski) reported@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.
-
One_Lone_Pixel (@One_Lone_Pixel) reported@Mandevil23 He was terrible as Shazam. This didn’t matter in the slightest.
-
Anna (@Annanasow) reportedSeems to me that illegal 'back to life' has been finally taken down from ig. Still shazam to go...
-
Oddy23 (@MandelbrotEater) reported@VelaIka009 @clownvoid Problem is more often than not Shazam is not working
-
Mimicinabox (@Mimicinabox) reported@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.

FrostyFrenchToast 🍞🎀 (@DrywoodTermite) reportedThe only defense i can give on this is that these connected universes gives a kind of “excuse” to use B & C list characters for films. Audiences swung on stuff like Antman and Shazam bc they bought into the wider storyline. The issue is the DCU doesn’t have that appeal
-
Ads (@Adsnewaccount) reported@B3nd3rISGr3at34 @AxelTalksFilm People were willing to give a chance to these characters back then !Shazam is not a bigger character than Supergirl but still had decent numbers !The problem is now people just won’t turn up if it’s not the big 3 or nostalgia stuff like Avengers
-
Six (@SixSh00tHer) reported@absolute_verse I swear that’s the only reason they named it that so people thought it would be like the comic, my only issue with a KO fighting game is 32 is a giant roster for a fighting game and there’s only like Shazam and Mxy you could do as DLC from the comic

pengasys (@pengasys) reported@p3aced3fender2 @doubtfully_xD you cant shazam the song, not because its in arabic, but probably because its taken down from youtube and spotify.
-
Ziggy (@ZquadboyZ) reported@dailystarzam Retire Billy, have the Shazam mantel be passed down every couple years, because Billy staying a child ruins any semblance of a timeline. Also Shazam is a cool name
-
JosMe💯 (@Keepee16) reported@wrld_of_Grace Shazam is not working, I did it 3 times...
-
Captainhavfun (@Captainhavfun) reported@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.
-
222supergamer (@222supergamer) reported@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. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Giovanetta Marangoz 🌹 天下大乱形势大好 (@giovanettanyc) reported@meeksthoughtbub The music down here is pretty fire I'm trying to Shazam it
-
***** Archer 🏹 (@DirtyArcher) reported@NicholasCraven_ Man i heard a sample like a year ago and tried to Shazam it but my service was *** and til this day I'm still trying to figure out the song lol.
-
tiny god (@She_isKing_) reportedAnyone else’s Shazam not working? Neither of my iPads or my phone are able to find multiple common songs. @Shazam what the heck 🥺
-
☛Sir Fedupalot ☛relentless pogonotropher (@SandyEgoCali) reported@KurtSchlichter I never heard anything by them that was worthy of my attention I guess because I'm not a preteen. But having said that I was watching something—it was either a movie or TV series I can't remember—but this song came on that intrigued me and I hit Shazam and turns out that it was by someone who was in the monkeys but I don't know how it was released. Anyway I think it was called "I'm going down". it was definitely unlike anything I'd heard by them, although I may have heard a total of three or four songs I'm guessing, but this guy had some serious vocal chops. You know who I'm talking about?
