Care to talk about Billy and his family? What do you think of the current ongoing happening right now? Apparently the plot happening right now with The Seven Realms is going to be involved in the movie sequel's plot. Do you think Black Adam will show up soon in the series? What do you think Dr. Sivana and Mister Mind are up to?
>What do you think Dr. Sivana and Mister Mind are up to? Enable Mr Mind to skip billions of years worth of development to become a universe-eating cosmic horror, obvs.
Austin Wilson
I actually really like the Shazamily Darla stole the show in the movie
Benjamin Gray
I think what Johns is doing is revealing that Mister Mind actually created the SHAZAM magic word to begin with, and The Council of Eternity just stole it after defeating him. The spell he's working on might be another magic word that siphons power off deities. >Shazamily Is that official? Because I'm seeing it on here more often and I kind of like it
Isaac Sanchez
Don't know, saw anons using it on here, said it to my family a few times when seeing it. Does seem catchy though, I dig it too. Also hoping Sivana brings a knife next time
Fuck, I should have trademarked it and pitched it to DC. Goddammit. Oh well. At least it's catching on
Landon Walker
This but unironically
Lincoln Reyes
I’d like to see more elseworlds/whatever comics with him done by other writers. Nothing against the current ongoing, I just would like to see more stuff that doesn’t have to be tied down to the current continuity of the DCU.
I was bummed but not surprised to hear that the movie would be adapting Curse of Shazam. Having it seen it, they fix all of my complaints about that comic. The adoptive family really works well here, and Billy's a lot more likable. I think it's because he has a clearer character growth, and when he gets settled into the family it feels like the story's earned that moment It feels like they fused it with some of the Fawcett comics' whimsy. It's the first DC movie I actually really liked, and I want to see what they have in store for the next one.
Hunter Anderson
Will we ever see Uncle Dudley again? He must be related to Darla
Adam Price
>Will we ever see Uncle Dudley again? I hope so
Aiden Brooks
Retconning the Gods to have ! Be it's own thing is stupid, and the new Shazam family are underdeveloped but have potential. I hope it gets better because all in all I'm just happy Billy is getting an ongoing.
Nathaniel Hall
>I'm just happy Billy is getting an ongoing It'll be nice if he gets "ongoing immunity" like Aquaman, Harley, the Squad, etc.. Especially after years with no material. Maybe we'll even get some reprints.
Logan Scott
I just find the whole 7 magical lands thing formulaic as hell
Carter James
>7 Magic Lands >7 Sins >7 Seats at the council Etc etc
>The spell he's working on might be another magic word that siphons power off deities. DARLA GET DOWN!
Nathan Thomas
So Yea Forums without spoiling anything for thread readers, how far do you think they'll go for Shazam 2 and are there any faces you hope will appear in the future? As odd as it might sound, I hope Uncle Marvel appears as a joke character. Billy's bound to have fans after all. I also want Captain Nazi, if only to see what the writers would do with a character like that.
Kevin Ramirez
Keep whomever did Mister Mind's voice in the after credits scene I don't know who the hell they would use for the MSoE. Captain Nazi seems like he'd be out. Mister Atom seems like a safe bet, a magic robot. Black Adam could be on the team only to defect later
>I named the gods, Doctor. Not the other way around He's so fucking smug.
Ethan Bell
>sequel
That's what they said about Green Lantern. And Man of Steel. And Justice League.
Daniel Perez
Just trademark it. They'll sue you claiming they already own it, you'll counter-sue, discovery will show that they've never owned it, you'll settle for a small amount of cash and a percentage of all earnings on the Shazam IP for say 100 years or until it enters the public domain and DC no longer renews the trademarks.
It's not going to make you a billionaire overnight but you might get a few thousand a year out of it. Plus they'll be paying your initial legal costs back pretty quick. Just remember to register the trademark properly and promptly and be sure to *sign over responsibility for maintaining it* to DC.
Carter Diaz
I think it's from the time Marvel was in the JSA, alongside jakeem and stargirl
I wonder if Mary is ever going to wear the white costume again.
John Bell
So can the Family transform into their Shazam version one command now like Billy or only when Billy casts the spell?
Caleb Russell
I've been a good girl this year Guy in Santa suit sweats profusely Billy has shared his power with his entire family, and each of them can now transform upon saying SHAZAM! What's also interesting to note is that each kid seems to specialize in one particular power (Darla has the speed of Mercury for example).
I'm more interested in what their final names will be.
Brayden Roberts
We need more Darla in the next one Also more Billy/Freddy dicking around with Superpowers
Nathan Stewart
Shazamily was coined by Levi in the intro to the movie for the Fandango preview
It was a controversial move, but I'd say it was an important part of the film's narrative. Him casually calling Darla his nigga was a little uncomfortable though, but, I get it. Method acting and all that.
>comic came out in December and has references to the movie in it, like "Captain Sparkles", the seven thrones, older Mary. >movie is set at christmastime Wonder if it and Aquaman's release dates were switched around
Ayden Taylor
>That one-take, 10 minute rant that Billy gave Sivana about the evils of homosexuality. I still don’t know why they put that scene in the 3rd act. It really hurt the flow of the film.
Noah Cooper
It's set during Christmas because it's based on Curse of Shazam.
Chase Carter
So now that we are getting Tawky Tawny who do you guys think is the next Shazam character that is going make a reappearance?
Blake Robinson
Black Adam
Angel Harris
I meant character who have yet to appear in the post flashpoint continuity.
Henry Johnson
I hope Mr. Atom, I don't know why but I fucking love him.
