Comic Book Questions & Discussion

They are not paying Golgo enough.

I guess it's because he chooses to post here of all places instead of FB or Twitter.

FB is for old people, like you, stilt! 😛

Just look at the BO performance. Made its money back and profit to boot. Did it make anywhere near something like Aquaman or Captain Marvel? Nah, but enough to green light a sequel. SHAZAM also had really good legs, which ads to the BO performance.

So Shazam is head and shoulders my favorite DCEU film and I also liked it better than the large bulk of the MCU, but I wouldn't tout it as some success for the DCEU.

A good movie that doesn't sell is still a failure. And a mediocre movie like Aquaman that sells like hot cakes is a success.

"Quality" only matters to a company if it leads to fincancial success. Shazam did okay, but it is the lowest-grossing film in the entire DCEU by a pretty far margin, not even making the top 50 highest grossing superhero films. Shazam is a better movie than Aquaman by far, but WB does not care and frankly shouldn't. Audiences loved it despite it being a mediocre mess, so there's no reason to assume what occurred with Aquaman couldn't occur again. Why should they look to Shazam in their plans going forward over the surprise box office juggernaut that Aquaman was?

100%. I thought it was meh. People hyped it up so much and it felt flat

Wasnt a great movie. At all.

before the dceu era, dc used to make good movies

constantine, watchmen, Nolan trilogy

Doom Patrol is the trippiest comic ever.

I still say Shazam is going to be appreciated as time passes. No, it's not the greatest superhero movie ever, but I'm of the belief that it's the kind of movie they just don't make as much as they should anymore.

And for all of the really accomplished CGI that Aquaman had, it lacked the heart that Shazam had in spades.

We should all ask about the World Forger 👆

Just because it's a verified account, doesn't mean it's DC's official one.

Any abhi could make it.

It's official from DC

C'mon, bro.

What makes you think it's official?

I'm not saying you can't convince me.

I enjoyed it more than WW, and one of the best origin stories in a while.

Watchmen is not a good comic book movie.
