  Shazam 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.

  @charles_o90392 @DeIudedShaniqwa @gofundme Shazam cracka! Then so did Karmelo’s. They didn’t take his **** down. Keep your fingers crossed tho.

  @DeathMetalV Maybe because too many of a certain kind of person were raised on reading science fiction where any inconvenient plot problem can be solved by simply making something up that's never existed before. Shazam! Problem solved!

  @CleanCasinoGuy At first I was scared i was one of the people watering it down since i actively use hyperfixation. Then i remembered it's not normal to space out and ignore reality, eating, talking, etc, until you get to read the next issue of Shazam. Tbh, I didn't even know ts was happening. 😭

  @bryancsk once heard something playing at a low and muffled volume in a youtube vid thought it sounded up my alley, spent at least half an hour tracking it down after shazam got nothing, turns out it was a shining example of the "incelcore" music the kids are apparently making these days

  @Exchronos @Steveroger3277 Shazam 2 had a weak plot and terrible acting

  @DierkingJakob @Blaaaair96 @BlackMajikMan90 It may not have met expectations but it was still a financial success. It clearly also didn't damaged DC's reputation since SS, WW, Aquaman, and Shazam all were box office hits. You cant keep blaming BvS for the problems DC had long after it came out.

  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

  @Sukiihiro @FitMarshmellow Genuinely Bendis may have set Jon back by a thousand years but Taylor doubled down and set him back even further Throw in Sina Grace too for good measure just for the way he wrote Damian in that Shazam issue

  @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.

  Your other location 25 mins away? All the same figures except Shazam were also sitting on the shelf because it was already bought. I don't understand why you guys can't fix your inventory issues!!!

  Shazam Founder @Inghelbrecht says Shazam should never have existed. To build the company in 2000, the team had to digitize one of the world’s largest music libraries before streaming existed. They had to invent music recognition technology from scratch and physically build the computing infrastructure needed to run it before companies like Google Cloud and AWS were around. They also had to convince mobile carriers to support a product category nobody had ever seen before. Inghelbrecht says even if each of those problems only had a 10% chance of working, the odds of Shazam surviving were practically zero.

  @Jaereku My issue isn't the dialogue or characters, but what is actually happening in the comic can cross the line into the absurd. And not the funny or good kind. Having a Shazam expy that just rapes people is so goofy it takes me out. That's just one example.

  @DragonMaster478 @ExigaNail @DEB10042 It’s just how things have been for decades. He was called Captain Marvel all the way through the 2000s. In New 52, DC decided they wanted to get rid of the complicated rights issue by just naming him Shazam instead. Which led to a lot of conflict with fans.

  @KaroyStephenson @TheFilmJunkee I don't agree but I understand this when it comes to the 1st Aquaman movie. It's not terrible, but it's not great either. The 2nd one however is down there with TSS and Shazam 2.

  @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

  @CambsCops Why hasn't Shazam Choudhary been arrested for this Anti-Semitic advert? Why aren't the Police nationwide investigating @TheGreenParty for Anti-Semitism? It's time this party was SHUT DOWN!😡

  @GunntArchive dc movies are doomed because they never learn; the fandom is fractured and they know this but instead of fixing this; they just double down on hating on zack snyder to convince you to support new dc movies it didnt work for black adam, shazam or blue beetle; theyre all idiots

  @Goldenfoxx @AndresTarango Same issue I have with some of my Flash merchandise. Lots of people mistaking it for BBT merch, or Shazam/Captain Marvel merch.

  feeling a bit bogged down in the Calculus II content on Math Academy after taking a break for a few months. Making really dumb, silly errors... so I asked Grok to make me a little web app to drill derivatives and integrals. Shazam! in less than a minute! ...except, the question database needs to be super big and varied, and the multiple-choice on a flash card format is dry and boring. So.... while I wait on Gemini to grind JSON for a different project today, I figured out how to get Qwen running on my 3070, piped it into Cline in VSCODE, and have it trying to build me Calculus Hero minigames so I can memorize and do rapid recall without it feeling like paint drying. wish it luck.

  @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

  @TaroPh59854 @MadonnaUltimate That sounds dramatic, but it does not really hold up from a music industry standpoint. Nobody needs an organized scheme to make a record underperform. The market does that all by itself. Streaming, radio callout, playlist retention, repeat listening, TikTok traction, Shazam activity, sales stability, and week-two drops tell the story. If a song connects, it holds. If it does not, no amount of “they are trying to erase her legacy” explains the public not coming back to the track. Madonna’s legacy is not being erased. Her legacy is already written. The issue is that some fans confuse legacy with current demand. She can be the Queen of Pop historically and still have a single that does not perform like a major hit in 2026. Those two things can exist at the same time. And honestly, blaming invisible “people hungry for the Queen title” feels like a distraction from the actual rollout. If the song had smashed, nobody would be talking about conspiracies. They would be posting chart receipts. But when you have label investment, Sabrina Carpenter attached, Coachella-adjacent hype, The Abbey, Grindr promo, listening parties, and still the numbers do not match the noise, that is not a takedown campaign. That is a rollout failing to convert attention into consumption. The music business is not sentimental. It does not care how iconic you are. It cares whether people stream the song again tomorrow. Madonna is not being erased. She is being measured. And that is what some fans cannot handle.
