  @NadrGo2 @BistThunder @drewmacwwe23 *Justice League* was not profitable; it was a financial loss. However, the studio pressed on because other films were highly profitable—*Shazam!* is a prime example: while its gross revenue appeared low, its profit margin was acceptable. Unfortunately, management issues arose,

  @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.

  @mjarbo The VFX were another issue. If they would have removed that whole bus outer space segment that could have dropped the budget probably 30 - 50 million. These movies don't have to be effects heavy. Beetle and Shazam 2 were shot for 59 million less

  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.

  @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.

  And here’s the thing, instead pissing money down the drain on Shazam 2, blue beetle, the flash, black Adam and Aquaman 2, they legit should’ve just made JL2&3. The story would be done and then DC could’ve clean rebooted and had a united fanbase open to whatever would’ve been made

  @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.

  @SavvyRinu No mind them, they are just tensioning people up and down, my own is the song playing at the background. I just had to shazam it now and findout the title... Straight to download it.. Johnny Drille - Stars Align

  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.

  @oluwaseun7g Doom would be a problem in DC. He would beat Dr.Fate easily and then claim the power Shazam. Instantly making him able to defeat superman. Doom would probably top 5 threats in all of DC.

  @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.

  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

  @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.

  @axel12381403 @FandomWasp I think this was miles better than the shazam issue though this was actually meaningful to Jon's character and was never meant to be a supersons thing, plus its in Txyz character to mock Jon with the aging up comment, he's trying to ruin Jon so he never gets defeated eventually

  @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.

  @raingod09790030 Shazam was during the broken DCEU, not the DCU that has been solid. Go cry about it.

  @_NamelessGoon @redaction I remember spending like 30 minutes trying to find it and had to play it on computer and Shazam on phone. So I figured I'd do some community service and just post the band name lol.

  4. Visual Intelligence point at anything, know everything. Press and hold the Camera Control button. Point your camera at anything. A plant: species identification and care instructions. A restaurant: reviews, hours, and menu. A sign in another language: instant translation. A product: price comparison and purchase links. A dog: breed identification. A building: historical information and architecture details. A math equation: solved. A business card: contact saved automatically. A food dish: calorie and nutrition estimate. This is Google Lens + ChatGPT + Shazam in one gesture. Built into the camera. No app needed. No typing. It also works on photos already in your Camera Roll. Open a screenshot. Activate Visual Intelligence. It reads and responds to whatever's in the image. Most owners have never held the Camera Control button for 2 seconds. The entire AI visual engine sits behind a long press nobody tries.

  @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.

  The Shazam issue has been fixed but we won't be able to reach our goal I really hope this doesn't happen again especially since there are covers of the other leaked songs as well

  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.

  @Itssan17 DC biggest issue is that they have never had a real plan for their superheros. They tried to copy and paste what Marvel did but Marvel evolved and found ways to appeal to the comic book fan and the casual fan and also make a good movie. DC hasn't been able to do that since The Dark Knight. The had a few hits like, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam but allt hose films blew it with their audience by the sequel.

  @the_xueyutanhua We should all agree that that Shazam run never existed, never happened, was never written. Not only did it do absolute **** for jon and Damian, but also it's main characters throughout every issue 😭
