Red letter media loved Shazam mote than Captain Marvel.

Watched CM yesterday and I'm honestly horrified by how retarded mainstream audiences are. I have been very whiney about how Ragnarok was the weakest MCU movie but holy shit, CM did literally nothing for me. Calling it boring would be a compliment. Even Ragnarok was a thousand times more entertaining and I would have never guessed that I would ever say something like that. What a waste of resources. That being said, Shazam was easily better which only showcases how much Disney has brainwashed all those normie retards

Please do not bully Billy. He is doing his best and is unfair to compare him with based Carol.

Also yes Carol is Based.

Ragnarok was decent enough when you consider the low standards of writing in most action flicks. The main thing about ragnarok that pissed me off is that it's really a Hercules film, so they pissed away the chance to get the next generation of Avengers started instead of hiring a scriptwriter that could make a decent Thor movie.

Don’t you mean wasn’t?

True.

What type of Relationship would Carol and The Shazam Family have if she adopted all of them? (Assuming they keep their powers).
What adventures would they get into?

Maybe an Apokolips adventure. Has space stuff and gods

The board room scene might be a little too scary for younger kids, but overall it was a fun family-friendly movie. I'm surprised that it didn't do better because parents are always complaining about how there aren't enough family movies that they can feel okay about taking their kids to see.

That'll be the end of comic books since Disney plans on shutting down marvel comics

>"Will Shazam ever be cool to general audiences?" he asks as the actor portraying the superhero does that stupid reddit dance

This is one of those superhero movies like the Rocketeer that will probably end up doing better on rentals and on streaming services. People will watch it at home, enjoy it and then wonder why they either didn't hear of it or didn't give it a chance when it was still in theaters.

After Shazam and Aquaman, I think DC has finally found a style that works for them. It's a much more kid-friendly style than what the MCU has been doing, and it reminds me of those 80's/90's adventure movies that kids obsessed over.

This sort of style probably means those it won't be "cool" to general audiences of adults, but I think kids will embrace it. That's probably the best possible situation for a character like Shazam/Captain Marvel.

Never. It is Spy Kids of this generation.

Or Spider-Man 1.

Oh you sweet simple Dkek

This was only temporary. You're going back to the DC we all know and loathe in a few months

>DC is winning in animated movies, cartoons, video games, and television too
It literally is on all of those except Games because of Spider-Man.

DC animated movies have sucked balls ever since Flashpoint Paradox.

How many best animated oscars does DC have?

When was the last time a DC animation won an Oscar?
When was the last time DC had a "good" vidya since Arkham Asylum?

I'm give you a couple of the streaming shows, though.

Animated Oscar is unironically worse than make up, the judges didn't even watched all entries and even stated it on their votes.

Seriously how the fuck people in charge or Oscars allowed it to happen? This shit was pretty ridiculous and feels like they are openly shitting on this category.

>give you a couple of the streaming shows, though.
Too bad the service itself is a massive failure

>When was the last time a DC animation won an Oscar?
Irrelevant, MCU spend 20 movies and 10 years without an oscar, plus the fact Animated Feature turned into a joke after the "didn't watch by my kids liked" controversy. DC consistently makes animated movies better than Marvel ones.
>When was the last time DC had a "good" vidya since Arkham Asylum?
Wolf Among Us, DC Lego villains, Injustice 2(since you like awards so much, it won "best fighting game of the year)

Like Tony?

>DC consistently makes animated movies better than Marvel ones.
This is a fallacy because Marvel/Disney do not consistently make animated movies every year like WB/DC.

>Irrelevant, MCU spend 20 movies and 10 years without an oscar, plus the fact Animated Feature turned into a joke after the "didn't watch by my kids liked" controversy. DC consistently makes animated movies better than Marvel ones.
Black Panther won 3 Oscars, more than any capefilm has ever won. Also, that tallies Marvel with more awards than DC. And fuck off with your "muh statue doesn't count because of some arbitrary reason" excuse.

Is making a great profit.

Forbes are either stupid or missed one component.

There's the 80-100 million for production budget, probably around 100 million for advertisement, and then there's the cut that theaters take.

Rule of thumb is a movie to make 3 times their production budget. So Shazam still made it but do you think this is good enough? It's also the lowest comicbook movie box office in years.

I meant success at being an enjoyable movie, not box office.

The marketing was horrible. I'm getting fucking triggered by movies that sneak things in like flossing. The movie was fine. Convenient though.

>Animated Oscar is unironically worse than make up, the judges didn't even watched all entries and even stated it on their votes.

Is that how Suicide Squad won an Oscar for best hair & makeup?

I don't remember seeing any commercials or ads for it at all. The only trailers I saw were ones that someone posted here.

Black Panther won Oscars because it was the token black film made only by blacks, so not winning any award is racist, and puts you on Disney's shitlist while we are at it. So despite it being a horrible movie, it won awards.

Captain Marvel will win Oscars for the same reason, for being the token feminist movie. It will win an Oscar next year despite being so bad. You can quote me.

Although to be fair, the Oscars last year only had terrible movies nominated, so it's not like BP had a tough time.

>Forbes are either stupid or missed one component.
oh yeah, two different writers at Forbes don't know anything about box office, but user here does
>probably around 100 million for advertisement
>when Guardians of the Galaxy had 80 million

It wasn't that great of a movie, but it was neat to see how much fun people seemed to have with Black Panther. There were all of these clips of black people in traditional African clothing going to see the movie. A lot of them weren't the usual superhero movie audience (grandmothers, etc.).

Captain Marvel didn't seem to inspire the same kind of fun, no matter how hard they marketed it.

>Captain Marvel will win Oscars for the same reason
not unless Disney buys them too (not really difficult to happen)
because Wonder Woman was being touted as the movie to get the Oscars for the exact same reason and didn't even get a single nomination

That one girl that Sivana and the sociologist were interviewing at the beginning did say that the Wizard dressed like someone out of Harry Potter, but yeah, thought WB would stretch it a bit more.

My sister enjoyed since it carries the merit of being the first MCU female film.

A lot of people saw it, so a lot of people probably feel the same way as your sister. If she found a female character that she can relate to and that inspires her to read or see more superhero stuff, that's really cool.

>Endgame is sold out for the weekend

No she doesn't really care, she tells me that it's a waste of time for her busy schedule.

Probably just parents yikesing at the Endgame runtime once they get to the theater and buying Shazam tickets for the six children they brought with them instead.

Shazam somehow getting a second wind and pulling any sort of meaningful box office after Endgame comes out just confirms the kino cape bubble has popped and Deadpool 3 will be PG-13 and feature Ryan Reynolds flossing.

Or it could be a random occurrence at a random theater. Shazam is gonna get jobber rocked out of the top 5.

Yeah I posted the theater and I dont think this is the norm. It's just odd that it's happening at all and has happened other days as well

>He's right, it's a quipfest.
Shazam's humor is mostly situational. The only time Billy """"quips"""" in the movie, he immediately gets punished for it for not taking Sivana seriously.

Shazam isn't expected to go out of the top 5

Same Disney is a great brand but marvel flicks are sadly samey and boring.

Exposition, setting up some paper thin villain and jokes for 90 minutes then 30 minutes of super hero action. Anyone that sees these beyond a one time watch /pop corn movie is a mouth breather or under 14.

Why would you ask the opinion of people who didn’t see the movie?

I saw it and it was entertaining my normie friends enjoyed it too. My buddy who hates comic stuff mostly enjoyed it because it was standalone and didn’t require to watch 20 movies to get it.

I agree it seems like they have figured out a tone and departed from synders style which we all figured would be necessary for success.

Marvel has a formula that works but I can’t say I love all their movies at least 10 out of the 20 were straight up boring. Even die hard normies didn’t like iron man 2, Thor 2, hulk, avengers 2. I know many that didn’t watch ant man 1 or 2 because it seemed dumb in a surface level way. I think people over estimate these movies captain marvel was a great example. Makes a billion dollars but most people I know irl found it meh my buddy even fell asleep during it

Which is part of the reason marvel is so gay. comics and cartoons take aback seat to the endless b action movies. I don’t love everything dc does but I like that I can watch an animated movie or read a comic book about a character that isn’t being pushed in movies

The jokes were better and not told at inappropriate times also it makes sense from a kid. Marvel characters are all jokesters which is bizarre. Everyone is sporting pop culture references like whedon even Thor and cap which makes zero sense. It’s fine for Hawkeye and Spider-Man but for others it’s reallt out of character and superficial

I trust Forbes over whatever kind of faggot you are

Kind of sad it took 20 movies for them to do this. Wasn’t very genuine

Imagine signing your name to this "art"

He might be right and the marketing really was 100mil. The problem with his argument is that he think WB paid for all that. This is what third party partnerships are for

And especially because they took so long that DC was able to put out WW first to good praise among critics and casual audiences, which put Marvel on the spot to make their movie as a "response" to Wonder Woman, meaning people were automatically going to compare them once CM came out. And unfortunately for them, they did, but usually in WW's favor.

The difference is that Shazam was actually funny

Movies only been out 20 days

Into The Spiderverse took almost a week longer to hit $100M, Ghost Rider took longer than the movie has been out to him $100M, Kingsman sequel took one more week than Shazam! has been out t hit $100M and it hit $400M+

It will end up grossing more than Thor #1 or Cap #1 so don't you worry your little head. Movies making $100 overnight is not the norm, it's the exception, likewise movies making $400 domestic is the rarity, not the standard.

Which is why Wonder Woman did so well and Aquaman made $1B+?

That's because most of its audience didn't grow up watching 80s kid films.

You mean the other Disney shills?

Yeah its "good"... if we're just talking about any other kind of film. As a modern capeshit though, that's pretty pathetic. Plus its getting more unlikely to actually reach that number now.

For comparison, Deadpool has a 58 million production budget and still made huge bank, not to mention having to be limited due to its R-rating.

who cares

Yes

Are you actually getting something out of minimizing Shazam's success? Do you earn a paycheck? Critics and audiences love it, it made back well over its budget, and it has both a sequel and a spin-off greenlit and in pre-production. I don't get it, how is that not a success? Yeah, it didn't make a billion. Not everything can and not everything will, and more importantly not every movie needs to make that kind of money to be a success.

Of course it's not

It's the most successful superhero movie to ever make less than $400 million in the last decade

Marvel is a sausage factory. That's not to say I didn't enjoy some of the most recent films, but I think Doctor Strange is the last one I saw in theaters and mostly because I thought the special effects would be better on a big screen.

Even Ragnarok which I did want to see in a big theater but just ran out of time while it was still in a decent one, was just fine on a large flat screen and I haven't even seen Infinity Wars, Captain Marvel and only saw Black Panther because I got a free DVD.

They've actually already greenlit two sequels but one of those is The Rock movie for Black Adam and that's been on deck forever.

so then they only greenlit ONE sequel
