Do you think the Shazam Film will flop?

...

Straight shota shazam

Undoubtedly. The whole idea of Shazam is so fucking dumb, only DCfags will see it.

>Where was the wisdom of Solomon with a comeback line when a guy really needed it?

This is a good question. What the fuck is the wisdom of Solomon exactly, and why doesn't it apply to flirting with women?

of course it will.

there's a credibility gap between the golden age superheroes and the 21st century. we've seen one after another frantic revision of all of the characters - compare the recent Superman and Batman to their 1930s versions.

Shazam was a particularly poor intellectual property to begin with, and hollywood is so desperate to keep wringing those capeshit bucks out of the 14-34 market that they'll try anything.

you'll know they're scraping the bottom of the barrel when we hear about a Dogwelder film.

the wisdom of Solomon was entirely about managing to negotiate through the minefield of middle eastern politics without getting your balls handed to you on a golden plate by the Egyptians, or the Keshites, or any of the hundred or so minor political interests. it was pretty much like it is today, but with more primitive weapons.

Mark Strong will be a great villain

What in the fuck are you saying, mate? I just wanted to know about superheroes.

Failing to cast froggo as billy batson is reason enough for me not to see this movie. Massive fumble.

>poor intellectual property

Brainlet that can't see the significance of the greek gods giving him their powers detected

It can work but it has to be lighthearted, bright, and fun. So the exact opposite of everything the DCEU has done so far.

He means the Wisdom of Solomon is insight into people, their motivations, how they relate to each other and how best to cut through bullshit. Solomon's wisdom was essentially really high sense motive and persuade skills. It's subtle, but very useful for things Billy can't just punch or hit with lightning.

Memes aside, this. I've always seen it as very signifigant that Billy is powered by the male Greek gods, as a kind of opposite of Wonderwoman who is empowered by the female Greek goddesses.

I believe that it represents the will of the greek gods to give the source of enlightenment and civilization to the Hapa Billy Batson, in order to fulfill their destiny as the new master race.

Too bad they already cast another boy as Billy
He’s cute too

No. It will be the ONE time DC actually gets Superman right.

(DCucks will tell you JL superman is a return to form, but he's still a worthless murderer)

This is WB we're talking about, so lets talk about how they're gonna fuck it up.

>billy is changed from an innocent kid to an edgy teen
>transformation doesn't change his age because it'd be too silly to fit with their franchise

very handsome

>thinks being healthy is an insult

lardboy (You)

It actually refers to your lack of masculinity associated to your low testosterone.

But yeah you are healthy, sighs

gods that wolfie is so sexy handsome! why are you doing this to me, user? why?

>implying
quiver harder, lardboy

>>billy is changed from an innocent kid to an edgy teen
They already did this in the nu52 comics, too

They cast someone for adult Shazam (the guy who played Chuck that computer-program-downloaded-into-brain buy) so there will be the traditional age-transformation.
