IsleofPigsStudios (Brand New Day Hype!) (@IsleofPigStudio) reported@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.

Marco Almeida (@MarcoAlmeidaPT) reportedCar 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?

I.J KLMNOP (@MoPride_) reportedSometimes, I wonder if Shazam has ear problems.
-
DD (@DComicTalks) reported@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

Recovery Simp (@recovery_simp) reportedThis 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?

osita (@osita9401) reported@bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. People just underestimated him and didn’t understand what he was capable of.

uche (@Ando_boy9090) reported@bigjozzy @tolathebaddest No na no be iPhone u dey use? Scroll down Shazam am
-
. (@walrusagent) reported@AmazingPopPod Unwanted and unnecessary. He should’ve been the villain of Shazam 2. Instead it’s just another guy with similar powers to Superman. How many times did they end up doing that? I mean there’s so many problems with the concept of this movie I really don’t know what else to say.

Zack Straw 🇹🇩 (@_Ramifications_) reportedaccidentally added my entire Shazam history to my Apple Music library. this was a critical error
-
Karma (@Pac_Triton) reported@damiebi10 JLA flopped, Shazam flopped both of them, Blue beetle flopped, wonder woman '84 flopped, flash definitely flopped despite cameos from JLA members, and Aquaman 2, flopped, yeah you guys never talk about the terrible second half you had.

Song ⱽ Angel 😇 Layover (fan account) (@SongAngel15) reported@btskthv1230 @StanTae51027 Exactly! They want to drive true supporters away. We must ignore these insecure people who don’t respect or appreciate the enormous clout Taehyung brings to BTS. His brand ambassadorships have been heavily involved in promoting the group’s Arirang tour. His solo endeavors, like his first pitch at the LA Dodgers game, got the forthcoming BTS comeback mentioned to the whole world of baseball. His Chinese fanbase, Baidu V Bar was historically the largest purchaser of BTS albums. They metaphorically shoot themselves in the foot by trying to silence us into leaving. This desire to equalize the members by their own insistence is tiresome. It’s unnecessary. The members themselves said on multiple occasions in the past that Taehyung is the one with worldwide impact. It’s a known fact, yet no one needs to take him down a peg because Tae is humble. Instead, they attack his support system, the ones who stream, vote, Shazam, buy physical albums, iTunes, magazines, merch from his brands, engage with his articles, make radio requests, praise his accomplishments…and they want us to believe Tae hates us. Are they hoping we are so immature that we’ll go away crying? No one who works this hard has time for their nonsense.

Giovanetta Marangoz 🌹 天下大乱形势大好 (@giovanettanyc) reported@meeksthoughtbub The music down here is pretty fire I'm trying to Shazam it

steg (@danandphiIyaoi) reportedi was literally the only one who caught ******** by alice longyu gao and mr useless by shygirl n that **** was playing 2 the entire theater in nyc cmon guys step up your game get that shazam out write down lyrics in your notes app take a video if u need to and go back later
-
Thinky Crow (@ThinkyCrow) reported@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.

Danny Grace (@Dgrace75) reported@liamgallagher We should all down load that one to our phones you think …let me know if need to Shazam that one
-
Bolbi Stroganofsky (@HTL1998) reported@BatKilmer @UltraBiasedFan Apparently it was Emmerich who was so mad at Cavill for turning down a cameo in the first Shazam film that he vindictively did whatever he possibly could to derail his tenure as Superman.
-
Rich Bateman (@richbateman87) reported@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
-
Jimmy (@Jommy8311980158) reported@ReemAmirIbrahim @reason Wow. Grocery prices in RI about to increase Soooo stupid. Kinda like rent control, units available go down and Shazam it gets worse. ****** clowns
-
Mush - Super Sonic Summer of Scares (@MushHog) reported@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.
-
M.G. Siegler (@mgsiegler) reportedInsta-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.
-
Blackboy (@blackboyrizzy) reported@bekeestitches Shazam catching strays when he wasn’t even the problem 😭 Somebody owes bro an apology.
-
Terios (@Terios_FSE) reported@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.
-
meanlene (@Chalene1450) reported@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.
-
Trevor Buchet 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 (@MichaelKrause6) reportedRemember 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

@iamLenoBoss (@LENO_BOSS1) reportedEveryone blamed Shazam, when the real problem was the writing and how the character was handled. 😭🔥 The potential was always there.
-
Kamen 7 (@ApasserbyFan) reported@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
-
Jay Paul (@JayPaul1530) reported@sonyabladesbf Instead the of making terrible films like Shazam 2, Aquaman 2, Black Adam, etc.
