  @OtunbaSebotimo The problem with the movie the kid actor acted nothing like the Shazam version, he was way too serious and didn't have the same charm

  I thought this film was complete garbage but this is a hill I'd gladly die on. Wish she'd gotten her own film and got rid of the terrible goofy Geoff Johns'y comedy of Shazam 2.

  They think banishing me to the stars will save them. Let Superman build back his broken moon. I am King Shazam, and my fury will return to claim what is mine.

  @bekeestitches The problem wasn’t Shazam… it was forcing a pure joy character into a universe that only wanted grimdark and corporate synergy.

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

  @C_JuniorsMagic I admit I'm guilty of rambling about bad quality control, but it's not like we haven't had these errors before. I remember getting a DC Minis pack with 2 Firestorm Flynns and no Shazam Arry. And I have a Robo Toby misprint. These things happen.

  Sometimes, I wonder if Shazam has ear problems.

  @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!

  @juicyrosie23 Hulk and Thor have a chance. Thor has canonically beaten Shazam, and Hulk has canonically fought Superman while NOT angry, and Supes admitted it took everything he had to take Hulk down. Stark… a scant possibility if he figures out kryptonite. Cap? Sorry, NO.

  @elEmilio_W The problem is he thinks he has more pull in Hollywood than writers and directors. You don’t even know the source material, why the *** are you producing a full feature film about a Shazam villian.

  @iamLenoBoss (@LENO_BOSS1) reported 15 minutes ago

  Everyone blamed Shazam, when the real problem was the writing and how the character was handled. 😭🔥 The potential was always there.

  @Michael78637393 @Abs0luteN0b0dy @UpdatesCAP4 Not exactly. Miracle man is not Alan moore's character. He reinvent him in his run but the character was an attempt to have a new Shazam by the same creator way back before Alan comes. After Alan Neil Gaiman also wrote a few issues

  @barkmeta If anyone knows what that second to last song was, let me know. I was turning it down before I could hit Shazam

  @GunntArchive Shazam had a terrible script and writing tho, this film series relied upon Zachary Levi"s acting way too much

  COSOMA’s Blank Media Levy A THREAD 1/ Everybody is arguing about COSOMA payouts, but most people don’t even know what the Blank Media Levy actually is. Some think it’s government tax. Some think it’s Spotify money. Some think COSOMA just wakes up and chooses who to pay. None of that is true. So let’s break it down. 2/ Imagine you make a song. Thousands of people save it on their phones, laptops, memory cards and flash drives. Even if they don’t sell your music, they’re still making copies of it. Now imagine trying to ask every single person to pay you. Impossible, right? 3/ That’s why copyright law created the Blank Media Levy. Instead of chasing millions of people who copy music for personal use, a small levy is collected whenever devices that can store copyrighted content are imported into Malawi. That money goes into one big pool for creators. 4/ The devices include: • Phones • Laptops • Tablets • Flash drives • Hard drives • Memory cards • CDs & DVDs Basically, anything people use to store music, movies or books. 5/ So who collects this money? MRA. Think of MRA as the cashier. When importers bring these products into Malawi, MRA collects the Blank Media Levy together with other applicable charges. It then remits the money to COSOMA. MRA doesn’t decide who gets paid. 6/ Now COSOMA has one big pot of money. Thousands of musicians, filmmakers, writers and other creators are waiting for a share. So… How does COSOMA decide who gets what? 7/ Most people think it’s based on popularity. It isn’t. COSOMA isn’t supposed to ask: “Who’s the biggest artist?” It’s supposed to ask: “Whose copyrighted work was used the most according to the data available?” 8/ Think of two students. One is the most popular kid in school. The other has perfect attendance. Those aren’t always the same person. Royalties work the same way. Popularity and measured usage are not always the same thing. 9/ So how does COSOMA measure usage? Through a monitoring system. Think of it like a football referee. The referee doesn’t guess who scored. He keeps score throughout the game. 10/ Radio stations and TV stations keep playlists and broadcast logs showing every song they play. COSOMA collects that information and uses it to estimate how often songs were broadcast. The more qualifying plays your music gets, the bigger your potential share. 11/ Many copyright societies around the world also use music recognition technology (similar to Shazam) to automatically identify songs played on radio and TV. COSOMA has said it uses monitoring and broadcast data, although it hasn’t publicly explained every technical detail of its system. 12/ Imagine the monitoring results look like this: Artist A — 1,000 plays Artist B — 700 plays Artist C — 300 plays If royalties are shared using that data, Artist A gets a bigger slice than Artist C. Simple. 13/ Now here’s where the debate begins. People ask: “What about churches?” “What about weddings?” “What about crusades?” “What about minibuses blasting gospel all day?” If those uses aren’t captured in the monitoring data, they may not significantly affect the payout. 14/ People ask the same questions about: • YouTube • Spotify • TikTok • Facebook Those don’t automatically count towards Blank Media Levy distributions because they involve different rights and different royalty systems. 15/ This is why an artist can have millions of views… Fill stadiums… Trend every week… …and still receive a royalty payment that surprises everyone. Because popularity isn’t automatically the same as documented copyright use. 16/ So why do some artists receive millions while others receive much less? Generally because of: • More qualifying radio & TV airplay • More licensed public performances • Proper registration of their works • Their ownership share of the copyright Not simply because they’re more famous.

  @ClownWorld Most of the service dogs aren’t really necessary. People get the paperwork signed and Shazam! Now you can bring a dog everywhere. It’s crazy. Either they are all allowed or not. It takes away from those that truly have a service dog and need one.

  @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.

  @SUBMARINER1941 Thats almost as terrible as what they did to @dyingscribe 's favorite bscure marvel hero. Marvel: to showcase we stand with black ppl....lets have a bunch of cops beat the crap out of our black shazam character till he is a comatose vegetable

  When 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!

  @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.

  Remember 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

  @Niklander3 I'm kind of curious if Safran is more the problem here...the SHAZAM sequel, and the AQUAMAN movies weren't some sort of bastion of quality.

  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.

  @DIRTBAGCLOWN @EXCELSIORSPEAKS really the titans are the bigger issue imo. unnecessary to have damian as a second robin, and having ALL of starfire, cyborg, raven, and zatanna is indulgent in a roster without like, the flash or shazam or supergirl

  @larrytooreaal You can just take a screenshot from the edit and send to any ai it’ll give you the answer , if there’s to be something like Shazam for movies it’ll neeed access to your screen , privacy issues would arise
