-
Aliff Aziz (@AliffAziz9) reported@OtunbaSebotimo It’s a great movie. The only problem is teenage Billy Batson is played as a serious, street-smart kid, but when he transforms into Shazam, he completely changes into an over-the-top, immature goofball. Doesn’t feels like they the same person

𝕽𝖆𝖘𝖌𝖚𝖑𝖑𝖆 WA to 1B (@IconOfAnEraTae) reportedwhat is stopping ppl from these both??? Spotify is going through issues okay but what abt Shazam and AM???
-
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. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

𝕽𝖆𝖘𝖌𝖚𝖑𝖑𝖆 WA to 1B (@IconOfAnEraTae) reportedWe are getting better at Spotify but Apple Music is going down. Shazam is the easiest of all the platforms and we are at zero. Dont u all feel bad??? Every android user can Shazam atleast 10 times easily. But here we r. Depending on a few hardworking streamers while others+

-
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 4-13 for the NFL season. YIKES!
-
My SAVD Spirit (@SquallingSpirit) reported@Shazam Fix your app so that when you select Buy on iTunes, it takes you to the song and not the iTunes homepage. Recent app update still does not address this issue.
-

-
Garfman (@GarfeldoAlfredo) reported@raingod09790030 Shazam was during the broken DCEU, not the DCU that has been solid. Go cry about it.
-
Shannon Jesso (@ShannonJesso) reported@WTHfilms @TheEasternOptic I don't count the Shazam Cameo because it wasn't Cavill. It was his stunt man which is why you only see him from the neck down.
-
Triquduma (@LadumaNdin) reported@CStarkov43557 @MarlonManc99134 @SomaKazima2 You bringing up inconsistency in comics which most characters have Same way Superman can be life an entire galaxy in one issue but in the next be beaten by someone like Batman or Shazam

pipoco (@pipocostein) reportedwhen did shazam become so terrible? it’s literally unable to recognise “titanium” playing directly from the speaker although when i was kid i could start to sing and it would easily find the song
-
Trevor Buchet 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 (@MichaelKrause6) reportedRemember the first time CNN and its anchors were used in a movie. Its was Contact. Then Batman v Superman and Wolf in SkyFall and MI and Shazam. But now they pop up in 3 Body Problem and its just pathetic. Can we go back to fake networks and not cheer or moan because its CNN

Officialdevindavis (@Officialdevind1) reported@MemeOfSteel_ Shazam=Classic Age Flash=Middle Age Harley Quinn=Modern Age Nightwing=Based on amount of issues

littledaisy 🌼 (@hanniedontcare) reportedI was just thinking about this now.. it was so unfair. we got less time to prepare for nonexistent, super poorly organized Back To Life promotion. practically zero promotion outside twitter, broken links, the song was stolen across streaming platforms, shazam got hijacked, MV + release announce last minutes and BTL hit streaming a month later. we were on our own while other fbs got weeks to prep. we could've done so much more with an early heads up. we could've easily debuted with over 1M streams if jyp wasnt so ****** 😭😭😭
-
Cultured.souls (@CulturedSouls) reported@VesselorConnor @empatheticcain Cancelled after 15 issues. The book was a direct continuation of the curse of Shazam, which Johns just finishing being an executive producer for the movie. So it really seems like Johns was fully onboard with that version of the character to me.

anni❤️🔥 (@Annikadabra_) reported@sweettweetangie Girl Problems by Bradley Jago sagt shazam
-
Star cinema (@jjahluv) reported@Emmmavic So Shazam got superpowers, and suddenly even his own parents couldn’t recognize him anymore… yeah, superhero problems really hit different 😭
-
KEFFCHXP FANPAGE (@13xkeff) reported@dfwtopski Stop that joke I once used shazam to find a song that got taken down I could not listen to it but it gave me the artiste name
-
Jake 🇬🇧🗽 (@jakonian) reportedI've spent about 2 hours trying to figure out this one song I heard in a McDonald's as children screamed. I had no service, couldn't Shazam. Little Bird by Annie Lennox. I genuinely cheered.
-
keldog (@keldog4) reported@EthicalSkeptic @JohnPlatner I started w/ google, gave them all the info. they wanted. Tried a few times through them and I failed. Then used Woo..2 single orders (myself and brother-in-law). Then Shazam sent a fraud alert and mentioned Milton, Georgia and ******/dating service? I have windows 10 computers
-
Péist Mhór (@BigWorm11174792) reportedShazam had no answer for blade 2. Close to infallible normally, 3 wrong answers tonight!! Just put on pulp fiction and it had no problem picking up tracks from that.
-
Cultured.souls (@CulturedSouls) reported@empatheticcain It wasn’t a rights issue. DC could always call Billy Captain marvel and even did so several times in alternate universes when his name was “Shazam” They just couldn’t call his comics “Captain marvel” and Geoff Johns decided to change the name in the New 52.
-
Julie Barrett (@juliecbarrett) reportedLast week Idaho Governor Brad Little signed HB 542, Stop Harms from Addictive Social Media Act (SHASM - ADF calls is “Shazam!! 💥”) While the bill seems to have good intentions, it’s impossible to implement without universal age verification - handing MORE data of children to Big Tech - and constant behavioral monitoring of children online. This “solution” will undoubtedly make the problem worse. Additionally, it is the opposite of “parental empowerment”, forcing a government mandate on every family.
-
ewgenijwolkow (@ewgenijwolkow) reportedwhat happened to @Shazam ? There was a time when you could hum a song for 5sec and it would find it. Now you can play 10sec of the actual song and it doesn’t find anything?! What a degradation of service
-
femcel maddie (CR: SMTIII) (@ultsoggymaddie) reported@DespairNem obv there's stormfront who's supposed to be transformed shazam but there's also a billy batson kid but he doesnt get his own arc he just appears for an issue or two i think
-
Chitsu! 🌟 (Tsubasa Fanclub CEO) (@danganholic) reported@futurexhope This is actually true, yeah. The term AI is hard to define in itself and it can include tools like even Microsoft Word or Shazam if not delimited enough, but generative AI is a very specific part of it that is the core of the whole issue with AI these past years. Not that hard

Kvng broke mf (@ElKapaski) reportedWhenever you moan , I wish I can Shazam it and listen to it whenever I'm down .....buh you just mumu 🤦🏾🤧
