    @PghPublicSafety The city of coincidence. Lets look to our past. They wanted a new stadium to replace 3 rivers. Coincidentally, a wall mysteriously falls during a game. Fake prez Joe Biden came in to town to talk about decaying bridges...Shazam.. Frick park bridge comes down same day. Now 🤔

    @Gazungamer Honestly the biggest problem with the later output of the dceu. Stuff like Shazam and TSS would’ve done wonders 5 years earlier

    @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.

    @LifeMi1987 @Arthur65381575 We also already had the Batman that character had already been rebooted the issue was recasting Wonder Woman while she still had a big role in Shazam 2 and a role in flash

    @CTPhipps1980 Well they did. They renamed him to Shazam a while back to avoid problems with Marvel I think.

    I'll always stand by the fact that Blue Beetle was the best DC movie of that year. Shazam and Aquaman were totally forgettable at best, and The Flash had too many issues that ultimately held it back.

    @wakeupusa Oh Geez, not another new word. Besides a cheek swab, just pull your pants down and see what you were born with. Shazam you are a female and or shazam you are a male. No one's taking their rights to identify how they want, but you can't negate biological reality.

    The Shazam issue has been fixed but we won't be able to reach our goal I really hope this doesn't happen again especially since there are covers of the other leaked songs as well

  • Yash48902641

    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.

    @the_xueyutanhua We should all agree that that Shazam run never existed, never happened, was never written. Not only did it do absolute **** for jon and Damian, but also it's main characters throughout every issue 😭

  • OfficialJBTells
    JB (@OfficialJBTells) reported

    @bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. The problem was DC not knowing how to support something lighthearted and fun while everything else was trying so hard to be dark and gritty.

  • FArkonus
    Screenwolf (@FArkonus) reported

    @ShempMeister They should be for whomever is willing to turn out and watch them. But even in comics there are age ranges. Hellblazer and Watchmen was never intended for 8 year olds. Shazam/Captain Marvel was clearly intended for them. Marvel on the whole was intended for teenagers and should really be aimed at kids around 13-15. Almost adult, but not quite. It’s a point where children and adults can enjoy it but the focus is teenagers. It’s why Spidey started at the age he did. DC varied by comic and I’d argue Batman, being obviously influenced by a combination of The Shadow and Universal Horror movies of the 30”s was always intended for a more mature audience. I mean he killed people no problem initially, only when they started teaming him with Supes did they soften him. This is why DC would perhaps be better off not trying to ram everyone into the same cinematic universe.

    @BackintheBronze Sent cash in for Shazam! then it was cancelled. For the two remaining issues, they sent a Super Friends and a Superman. I also got one of the many subs won in the Superman Trivia Contest. I chose Action so I would get the giant sized #500.

    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.

    @uniquemoviemom Always been my problem with how Shazam is written, he has wisdom of Solomon but at times it seems non existent

    My bff said we should watch Logan together. That would be really fun. I would down to watch it together with him when we’re able to. First we’re gonna watch Shazam 2 together then Logan, then the Spider-verse movies when it’s closer to the third movie’s release date.

    @Duranous @EthanVanSciver The Beetle movie was sadly positioned at the switch over and it really was not terrible. Same with the Shazam flicks. Some of the better ones of that era. Maybe its AI but from what I understand this is who should be appearing in the next Superman movie

    85% 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 🧵

    @Starseaman71 @FernKalm @JamesPrescott77 And yeah Aquaman and Shazam worked, that's been my point, BvS was bad, and fully because of Zack, but JL was worst, that became because of the studio interference, regardless of John's, the studio still did, and yet after 2 bad movies, those 2 were able to be received well and perform well. So clearly the issue wasn't Zack made a bad movie,he didn't make half a dozen worst **** that droped after JL

    This 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?

    @parkerslawyer I won’t deny Diana is in need of content, but this is a terrible argument to make when Booster Gold has nothing to his name compared to Diana carrying a previous universe with Aquaman and Shazam, pretending Superman doesn’t exist outside of false promises with cameos.

    @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

    @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.
