  @donovanmartin5 At this point I dont believe snyder will be back. Sure I preferred his style and tone. But that doesnt mean i can pretend this DCU stuff is interesting. Superman was entertaining but it still felt very cookie cutter and safe to appease all the old complaints. All these suit designs are just awful too. Supergirls box office is also telling that the dcus problems are abit more larger than a vocal minority. I dont know what the answer is for DC but I do know judging by everything since Birds of prey, shazam 2, ww84 that they need to ditch the action comedy feel good "family" stuff. Avatar is a great example of what the tone should be. Families watch avatar. They dont need to make everything "light hearted" for a family to watch it.

  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.

  @bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. People just underestimated him and didn’t understand what he was capable of.

  Insta-reaction: it’s fine but the old one was iconic. The new ‘r’ is clearly an issue. At first glance looks like “Ins tag zam” sort of “Shazam”-y.

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

  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.

  @Shakajaka1234 Charmy has been a part of the HIVE in the issue actually lmao. Which was a misunderstanding by his side. Not that he can not be Shazam, though Bumblebee makes more sense imo.

  realistically who or what are we blaming for dcs problems right now? why has supergirl underperformed as bad as blue beetle, shazam 2 and the flash? because this needs addressing

  @bekeestitches Yeah the writing tanked it, Shazam himself was never the real problem.

  USA Buyers, Spotify accounts, know how to STREAM instead of asking questions during release day, RADIO, SHAZAM. And no debate over that spotify playlist. The problem is we're lack of streamers, not the playlists

  @ClassicKun93 Please, stop larping as someone with intelligence. MAWS season 3 was terrible- the show should be done. Snyder’s universe wasn’t great nor Shazam nor Black Adam nor, Supergirl- although, it had moments. You may go, ClassicBaka.

  @RoyalMaj3sty I’m a Seven guy, so I’d have to swap Robin and Shazam with Aquaman and Martian Manhunter. I don’t have a problem with Nightwing’s placement. I don’t think you can have Batman over Superman though . . .

  @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. ⚡

  @junglekxng3 @ReconNarwhal He's always had a huge ego, it was just at an all time high at the time (and even now) he really believed a Shazam villain could fix an already broken universe

  sometimes a problem arises that you just have to figure out .. someway, somehow . It's not like I was installing tiles on The Space Shuttle or solved cold fusion .. It was a carpentry problem""" .. and the problem was " How are we going to install these interior doors " .. this is generally where all the ding ****'s that built a picnic table or fixed a decking board on grandma's singlewide trailer kick in and say " Well all you gotta do " .. Like Delbert Kent stepping into a phone booth and coming out Super-Carpenter .. The problem was multifaceted and I learned a lot ,, found a new way to set doors so perfectly that they would be approved by NASA .. , Standards and Measures.. atomic clocks would be calibrated to. It was a one time deal but each had to be done 50+ times unerringly .. This was a 20 million dollar home for the owner of a baseball team . contemporary and designed by someone using massive amounts of shrooms .. The doors came in components and the parameters were . . the jambs had to sit on flooring that was pickled in France and had to fit with aircraft tolerances . the jambs were 10 ply exotic wood that was as flimsy as a wet noodle , they had an automotive finish and couldn't be fastened through .. only in the hinge mortise and the casing was also automotive finish and couldn't be face nailed , screwed or any visible fastener . That in itself kneecaps a carpenter . " No way to connect and right " only hot glue or an adhesive that once you commit to .. your doomed .. It'll take explosives to remove .. You got one take . One zinger is .. the flimsy jamb had to be set first precisely .. Not the conventional way whereas the door is in the jamb and it assist in margins and racking .. Nope .. jamb must be perfect first and when you hang that 200 lb blast door for NORAD .. all the reveals , alignments and tolerances better be Shazam .. no do overs !! .. heavy doors have a tendency to pull hard on the upper hinge and open margins on the strike side and scrub the jamb .. This would be unacceptable .. no pre-stressing . no mockup . 5 carpenters stared at these doors and mulled theoreticals for a week . the superintendent was becoming disturbed . every idea I lobbed up got swatted down .. naysayer galore since I was the knuckle dragging carpenter and didn't look like Norm or Bob with matching plaid . .. then I had an epiphany and procedure ... All the naysayers bellowed out " It can't be done like that " .. I already did it in my mind !! .. I spread my tool belt , shined my hammer and took flight and they left me alone for the duration of the job .. I won awards as " The Mad Scientist " .. I let the math do the walking .. It was Genius !! . 😎😜

  @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.

  @Phenomm_ This movie could be really good, but that's still not gonna fix the many issues that DC has and the DCU as a whole. The fact that Clayface is getting a movie before Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Shazam, and other A-list heroes is a ****** crime

  @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
