Is Absolute Green ꗞ Lantern #14 out? (@AbsGLHypeGuy) reported@Gray_m0nst3rous Agree with the last part, I would have really preferred if King Shazam was really just magic and not related to Brainiac. As for the 14 first issues... Well, I disagree, I'd say that it proves that Superman can save Earth, while he didn't believe he could because of Krypton.

Joe Mish (@JoeMish3) reported@BlackMajikMan90 That's why SS made 746m without China right afterwards and then WW made 823 million right afterwards right? And even after the trainwreck the execs made Aquaman made a billion,but BvS derailed the franchise right? The problems start with Shazam You disingenuous piece of ****

zangothando (@zango_kubheka) reportedWhoever is responsible for the degradation in Shazam’s service quality…
-
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
-
Midori (@MidoriVtuber02) reported@TelemachusCEO @khiawings Because the translation Ai sucks. Just shazam the song then look on youtube for english subs. Oh my god. You lack media literacy. Also, basic problem solving skills. That’s embarrassing.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@realestdudelol @shitposts_mp4 Yeah, my audio ID tools got restricted lately for technical reasons. Can't pull it from the clip anymore. Shazam the video or describe the melody/lyrics/vibe (fast beat? lyrics? genre?) and I'll hunt it down for you!
-
Henry Toloza (@TolozaHenr56566) reported@Wilitooo_ @Auntyadaa I think venom suffers the same problem as black adam where the character isnt even an anti hero hes just a good guy and they have no one to fight . If black adam fought shazam and venom fought a spiderman the movies would have felt better. Andrew would have been PERFECT
-
MotoNeko (@MotoNeko1) reported@RoyalMaj3sty Martian Manhunter has the same problem as Wonderwoman, he debuted in Justice League. Aquaman same but this one has a different appearence. I vote 100% on Zatanna. But i wouldnt mind Shazam either as even though he appeared in JL it's clear he's been active since before that.

𝕽𝖆𝖘𝖌𝖚𝖑𝖑𝖆 WA to 1B (@IconOfAnEraTae) reportedwhat is stopping ppl from these both??? Spotify is going through issues okay but what abt Shazam and AM???
-
Nennings (@Simplynene456) reportedIn the church now one the phone one of the media guy is using to make video is very very. I could tell from the interface that it’s a Samsung phone but the know the exact, my problem now is how to go meet the guy to find out. I wish I could just Shazam it mehn😩😩

iMovie (@iMovieapptwt) reportednew account rules: Volume = BLOCKED Brightness = BLOCKED Cell service = BLOCKED Do Not Disturb = BLOCKED Flashlight = BLOCKED Hotspot = BLOCKED Airdrop = BLOCKED Shazam = BLOCKED Ibispaint X & Alright Motion= 𝓭𝓶 𝓶𝓮...
-
Lester Freamon. (@norealgoat) reported@GenFitzhughLee @thepersona98 @BlackMajikMan90 No, he was supposed to do a Shazam movie and vigorously turned it down because he thought he was too big by the time Shazam got green lit in 2014. Black Adam was supposed to be the villain for Shazam (as he should) but Dwayne wanted his own movie.
-
Jaymovies (@juliandceu) reported@jayjjalen I know the plots with his own villains are already so much better than king Shazam or the Ras plot. Like his parasite 2 issue was even better.
-
Jay_10 (@Jackwalker82178) reported@GrahamGeekEire @MikeKalinowski @Filipe_sca I like the DCU I haven’t even watched any Snyder versus movies besides Shazam James is starting to disappoint though because the problem is, he’s a fan living out his fan power fantasy through his work and just does what he wants to do also this being made by a war criminal
-
michael jones (@michael7672) reported@The4thTurtleNyC Aquaman was an aberration despite what Snyder did to the DCEU. It excelled and became a blockbuster. Then the Snyder influence reared its ugly head and took down Shazam. A movie with Wonder Woman like critical and audience reviews and grossed less than a 1/3 of what Aquaman did.
-
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

lay 🤓🤓🤓🤓 (@faultinourseal) reportedi genuinely love shazam i was at a coffee shop the other day, sat down, and immediately felt the need to shazam every single song bc the playlist was ******* fire
-
fiction denier 🇵🇸 (@badpunname) reported@Adsnewaccount @archrxz @CQuill97 Also Black Adam (I'm assuming that's the third Shazam movie?) was in pre-production for like a decade before it got made. The problem with the old universe was they were throwing **** at the wall that they were already working on. Gunn stopped everything and started from scratch.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@gamer19004 @leonarchiive Sorry, can't pull audio from X videos to ID the background song. If you describe any lyrics, melody, or vibe (sad piano? rap? rock?), I can try to narrow it down. Or Shazam the clip directly!

shlerp (@barkolson) reportedneighbor one house down music so fire i had to shazam it
-
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.

ari ✧ (@the_xueyutanhua) reported@mains_p I thought I’d heard that this Shazam run was canned, but I didn’t care enough to look further into it. This really does just feel like such a random, spiteful issue lmao
-
sami💋 (@pureherow1n) reportedguys I was at work and this diabolically terrible song played and I was like I have to Shazam it bc this is straight cheeks and then it turns out it’s Blackpink’s new song 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 yikes bro
-
Joseph Adorno (@ComicBookRehab) reported@ForLangley @WizardsComics And the debacle itself all came down to an appalling amount of bad communication/misinformation/lack of representation, whether intended or unintended, since Mick Anglo was still alive, although once the character Marvelman, it was like, "Oh...British Captain Marvel/Shazam.."
-
SRTKENZO9️⃣ (@K9NX0EVG) reported@BlakkMonkey @Zap_TFS @roger_stev82377 Better to shut it down than go back and forth so yep. AND on top of that, you inserted Hal in a conversation he doesn’t even compete in. Superman is the fastest non speedster character in DC and Shazam is behind him.. so where did you get Hal from? U saying he’s faster than Kent?
-
The High Chimps (@TheHighChimps) reported@lRawMedia @grok my shazam is not working, what is the name of this song.
-
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

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.

brucew39🇺🇦🐓📘🖊️☕🎷🎹🎺🎬 (@MrWayne6969) reported@LilithThelema @LilFormers Shazam is the name of the wizard who gave powers to Earth's mightiest hero. The name issue is a copyright matter, and its Marvel counterparts are pathetic: all of them!
