I said before a younger Dave Batista at one time would have been perfect imo as Captain Marvel as he has the physique and humor. And if we are doing wrestlers as wishful comic heroes casting Randy Orton as Prince Namor

I have another gripe. So we are shown those two bullies just abuse poor Freddy Freeman (who is annoying too, just not as much as Levi). Not only does the school teacher/principal does nothing, nor the magical teen goddess love interest…but nothing, and I mean NOTHING happens to those two bullies. NOTHING! What kinda message was that? Bullies win?
Argh…sigpicComment

I hear what your saying but to be fair to the teen goddess love interest, she couldn’t reveal who she was. Maybe the bullies get what’s coming to them in next Shazam movie.
I agree with you Hector about Levi’s immaturity, but remember these movies are based on the Fawcett comic book Shazam and not the 1970’s tv series Shazam.
If you want to see a neat version Shazam/Captain Marvel check out the 1941 serial starring Tom Tyler, I really enjoyed it, I think you will to, Shazam actually kills bad guys.Last edited by TrekStar; Jun 1, '23, 11:29 AM.Comment

I hope that the next Shazam movie whether Zachary Levi is the hero or not, it’s more towards the adult action Batman type audience or nearer to the 1941 serial and not so much, (hey gang let’s go down to the 7-Eleven and chow down hot dogs and grape slurpees)
Being a big Shazam fan, I’ll still watch the next movie when it comes out, whether it’s kids level or not.Last edited by TrekStar; Jun 1, '23, 11:27 AM.Comment

Yeah, that was a really horrible message, given the emphasis on anti-bullying these days. The fact that Freddy seemed perfectly happy because to be abused, just because a girl liked him, was also a bad message. I bet there's a cutting room scene where these guys get it. Why not have them walk off the roof?
But yeah, that was really disappointing. I always want to see bullies get theirs…sigpicComment

I get that, but Levi did not behave the same as the young actor playing Billy. Completely two different behaviors and personalities. That was my main issue.sigpicComment

I have nothing against Zachary Levi as a person. But like in my previous post, my main grip is that he did not behave like the young actor playing Billy.
Asher Angel (Billy), acted like a normal teenager. While Levi, instead of basically mimicking Billy’s behaviors and following his personality, completely went off the rails, and brought in his own over the top personality. The character of Billy himself never behaved like that. Billy is in fact very mature in comparison to Shazam.sigpicComment

This was a renter for me from the very first trailer. Still haven't rented it as I think it looks dumb and already got burned giving Creed 3 a chance which was a waste of 2 hours.
I dont mind the Shazam/Batson casting, what bugs me is the entire team with his powers. Mary Marvel and Cat Marvel Jr should be the only others.Check out my website: Megozine Covers - HomeComment
