-
Terios (@Terios_FSE) reported@powcampsurvivor I remember in the movie they specifically mentioned watching Godzilla too. I don't know if that was real or just a fun line cause it was around that time. He DID base a lot of his persona on Shazam though so he'd be down with the cinematic universes too.

Cathleen Lard (@LardCathleen) reported@Barron47voicese It's a real serious problem how we got here! Shazam
-
Bumblebee Corey (@DoomCorey) reported@_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.
-
Jackie P (@52Variables) reported@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!

James (@jamescoder12) reported85% of Google Pixel owners use their phone for the same 5 things every Android phone does. Calls. Texts. Camera. Chrome. Gmail. That's a phone with 15+ exclusive features features Samsung doesn't have, features iPhone doesn't have, features no other Android phone on earth can run being used like a $200 budget phone. Your Pixel answers spam calls for you before you pick up. It identifies every song playing around you on your lock screen, without Shazam, without internet. It erases people from photos. It swaps faces in group shots. It holds your place in customer service queues so you don't have to. Google buried these features behind menus, toggles, and settings nobody opens after setup day. A Pixel product reviewer who's tested 30+ smartphones in 2026 told me: "Pixel isn't the fastest phone. It isn't the most powerful. But it has more genuinely useful exclusive software features than any phone I've tested iPhone included. The problem is Google markets the hardware and forgets to tell anyone about the software." Here are 11 Pixel-exclusive features most owners have never turned on 🧵

-
Outlaw Linc (@OutlawLinc) reported@Itssan17 DC biggest issue is that they have never had a real plan for their superheros. They tried to copy and paste what Marvel did but Marvel evolved and found ways to appeal to the comic book fan and the casual fan and also make a good movie. DC hasn't been able to do that since The Dark Knight. The had a few hits like, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam but allt hose films blew it with their audience by the sequel.

Canyons. (@CanhNguyenSuy) reported@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
-
JosMe💯 (@Keepee16) reported@wrld_of_Grace Shazam is not working, I did it 3 times...

And shazam is soo unlikable it coulfnt fit into a justice league movie, james gun version batman is gonna suck ba*** i can feel it… Now i think about it, james gun modeled his universe after that ****** shazam movie
-
𝑴𝒓. 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒅 (@Cr7winiano_) reported@bekeestitches I think the problem was never Shazam himself. 😭 The story, writing, and how the character was handled made people overlook how much potential he actually had. ⚡🔥
-
Jimmy (@Jommy8311980158) reported@ReemAmirIbrahim @reason Wow. Grocery prices in RI about to increase Soooo stupid. Kinda like rent control, units available go down and Shazam it gets worse. ****** clowns

Remy Etienne Lebeau (@UnderwaterSquad) reported@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

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?

Krypton Report Podcast (@KryptonReport) reported@StebobM @StevenKentSV My issues I feel like the rock made it too, overly complicated about not just letting black Adam be a villain, who then has an arc to be more anti-hero wish with his past storyline, and then I feel like him also fighting against not wanting to be connected to Shazam hurt
-
King Emmanuel (@Obanuell) reported@bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. The real issue was everyone underestimating what he could become and how much power he actually carried. They judged the kid instead of understanding the hero.
-
Wanderer (@Wander_0n) reported@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.

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
-
Renier (@Renier72951774) reported@CityPowerJhb I would say turn on the lights maybe you will find the problem on block 11 and the 20 units thats off... Shazam us now come uncle. My dog is dont like the darkness..
-
AriezTheDragon (@JoeyDraconis) reported@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.
-
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
-
𝓓𝓸𝓼𝓴𝓲𝓯𝓾𝓷𝓭𝓼💰 (@Iamdoskifunds) reported@bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. The real issue was that DC never figured out how to properly position him in the bigger universe. The character had the potential—execution and consistency were the problem. ⚡
-
Dika_Clips 🎬🍿 (@moviesbydika) reported@bekeestitches Yeah the writing was the real issue. Shazam himself was never the problem.
-
Jason Quinteros (@JQuinteros63) reported@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?
