    Shazam is a meaningless IP in the current DCEU. Only reason the first one did reasonably well at the box office was because of initial interest in the character and the possibilities within the universe.

    Have a hard time believing the followup will do very well in the current environment.

    the first movie did well because it was good and fun. two things you can't say about many other movies in the DCEU.

    It was entertaining. I admittedly despise the film adaptation of the Shazam family.

    People saw Shazam because it was a new and interesting character to people and Chuck Bartowski played that role extremely well

    It was kinda the same thing with Black Adam

    but The Rock is extremely unlikable amongst the new generation these days and he absolutely tanked that movie

    Will be interesting if Shazam 2 is a box office success because Gunn and Levi are good friends IRL. And lord knows Gunn tries to cast his friends in everything he makes.

    Rooker is probably already casted as Darkseid.

    Rooker is a great actor, his Yondu in volume 2 is the best character in the MCU emotionally

    Rooker’s awesome and has pretty much always chosen great roles, but Gunn seems like the type that will clash with the WBD execs over castings because he wants his friends in his stuff so much.

    Almost the Adam Sandler of comic book movies/shows.

    I haven't tried to a dive into the controversy, but Levi is apparently a crazy person that said some ridiculous stuff recently about race and vaccinations according to Twitter.

    All he did was agree with someone that Phizer is an evil company or something to that effect. He didn't say anything about vaccinations in the comment I saw.

    I think this was more an anti-Big Pharma argument

    seeing as he is double boosted and everything

    This was my take. You can be vaccinated and still think pharma companies are shitty.

    I apparently fell for the Twitter thing where someone says one thing some people didn't like, and then they drag every little comment he's ever made that could be interpreted badly into it and make it seem like it all happened yesterday. My bad, Chuck.

    Social Media is a cancer.

    People don't need to know a person's every opinion about everything (especially a celebrity because who gives a shit) and the social pressure to expel anyone from society for having a differing opinion from the current trend of the day is exhausting.

    I mean, even if Levi was anti-vaxx, the world would be so much better if he didn't have a platform to spread that to everyone on the planet. He could just have that opinion and only hurt himself. Instead he shares it, reinforcing others who might have a similar opinion, causing them to share it loudly, which stirs up the opposition, which leads to fighting, etc. In the end, no one's opinion is changed but everyone hates everyone else.

    /sorry for ranting

    Oh for sure. But I think we've all read something that someone said out of context and jumped to conclusions.

    But I definitely try and take a wait and see approach these days.

    I’m thinking we only get the first 4 movies or so and maybe confirming Reeves Batman universe is separate. Maybe mention the Penguin show and whatever else they are working on for that universe.

    Think we get Gunns version of Superman for sure. You know he’s going to announce something out of nowhere also. Maybe Lobo tv show.
