    @tomaldertweets Everyone talks about being early on a platform. Shazam was early on the problem.

    @inthehalwayrry i was in the nosebleeds in amsterdam and everybody was sitting down and didn’t even sing for most of the time😭even saw someone use shazam

    Car stereo playing a song on the radio. iPhone connected via CarPlay. Opening Shazam or Apple’s own “recognize music” tool immediately shuts down the radio. I know taking over the car stereo audio when the microphone is activated is the standard behavior, but it’s kind of stupid in this scenario, right?

    @wrld_of_Grace Shazam is not working, I did it 3 times...

    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.

    @powcampsurvivor I remember in the movie they specifically mentioned watching Godzilla too. I don't know if that was real or just a fun line cause it was around that time. He DID base a lot of his persona on Shazam though so he'd be down with the cinematic universes too.

  • LENO_BOSS1

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

    @Paapi_Billota just admit that the last 6 movies in that universe were utter **** from Shazam to the Flash. they were so bad, they had to shut down the universe, and your boy was still grieving over his daughter killing herself.

  • Tmbenedict

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

    @nebuIastarlight He's like Shazam except you have to say New York is in trouble or sum ****

    It's labelled simply as Adagio so I tried Shazam but drew a blank. So I did the good old searching and going down rabbit holes. It is the 2nd movement of Beethoven's Piano concerto No 5.

    @Black_D_Gamer1 If we applied their logic, shouldn’t Shueisha or the respective authors of the earlier titles (Dragon Ball, JJK, Chainsaw Man, MHA) have issues with the later ones (Toriko, SBtMWY, Call of the Night) because of their very similar designs? But as far as I know, they’re not doing that, right? From what I’ve learned through Googling and from Grok, companies tend to go after designs that clearly infringe their trademarks rather than ones that are merely inspired by them. This applies to both U.S. and Japanese companies. The only case with enough evidence to successfully sue and win was DC v. Fawcett, regarding the similarity between Superman and Captain Marvel (later renamed Shazam after DC acquired the character). It wasn’t just the design; Fawcett’s team had deliberately studied other aspects of Superman (personality, characterization, etc.) to create their own version of “Superman,” only under a different name.

    @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.

    @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

    @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.

    @r0lgar77 @CultureCrave @DCOfficial Everyone did, recasting superman was a dis service. And shazam is soo unlikable it coulfnt fit into a justice league movie, james gun version batman is gonna suck ba*** i can feel it… Now i think about it, james gun modeled his universe after that ****** shazam movie

    He was literally doing the job of a studio CEO in trying to make his company’s product better after audiences not being thrilled with it If the film had been scoring better and not in the same range as Shazam 2 and Batgirl in the 60’s, there would have been no issues

    @esosaleonard @farbulou One of my major problems with DC and Superman is their inconsistency with him. Magic has been stated a long time a ago to be one of Superman's major weaknesses. Him beating Shazam didn't make sense That bother is not beating Doom

    @AndrewC62983550 @GBNEWS Sounds good until a MP is forced to step down so they can install Burnham, then Shazam he's PM in months!

    @bekeestitches The real problem was deeper than Shazam

    Man of Stevenween 🎃 (@StebobM) reported

    @TheFilmJunkee I think the problem with the whole Shazam Black Adam stuff was it all felt so disconnected. Had they planned an actual story that would have led to the pair eventuallly battling & have Superman involved too would likely have worked much better

  • ICSully
    Sully (@ICSully) reported

    @YagoRochaAlvz "He took down the Snyderverse" Outperformed both Shazam movies, Flash and Wonder Woman 2 and was the better movie.

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

  • TheRochaSays
    John Rocha (@TheRochaSays) reported

    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!

    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?

    @thorkahh @iREUS_SA I kinda wonder where the spikes come from. I’m not all the way caught up. I just finished issue Abs Superman #20. I wasn’t sure if that was John Henry Irons or if it was Superman himself in that upgraded armor he wore when he pushed King Shazam to another planet in space

    @bekeestitches Yeah the writing was the real issue. Shazam himself was never the problem.

    @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

    @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
