Kind of impressive that The Rock managed to sabotage his own movie and someone else's at the same time.

True or not, it’s never going to be a good look to go on social media and go all in on all the reasons your movie didn’t perform well especially a week after the release.

It is a bit ironic that among the weakest parts of each film were the lack of a clear, compelling, worthy antagonist for the lead to face off against. Combining the two films into one would make each character more interesting and give them less muddy storylines.

The behind-the-scenes drama at Warner Bros/DC is honestly more interesting than some of their recent movies.

It always seemed strange that Black Adam wasn’t going to be in the second Shazaam movie. I get that they wanted to give Black Adam his own movie to start, but they probably could’ve planned in advance to accommodate that in the schedule. The first Shazaam was well-received, but it felt like they would need to spice…

It’s amazing to think that the thing that’s going to ruin the public’s love affair with the Rock is going to be the Black Adam movie.

It’s like Capone going down for tax fraud but much, much dumber.

Yeah, I’m kinda thinking Vin Diesel had the Rock figured out.

Neither. It means that they had a contract to write the script. They fulfilled that contract, and will get paid for it, and if anything from the script is used, they’ll get credit for it. They aren’t, however, getting paid for rewrites, etc. The terms of the contract can vary as to what that’ll mean monetarily, but…

When was the last time Aerosmith made a video?

You just got Wonged!

Thanks for agreeing that the “gay agenda” is to simply be treated as ordinary human beings worthy of the same respect as straight people.

The character being gay was foreshadowed in the first film, so it’s not a retcon. He’s a supporting character & his orientation isn’t highlighted in the marketing, so it’s not like this was a prime factor in SHAZAM 2's underwhelming box office.

“‘Mine was on my face. His was all over his body because he’s weak like that,’ Wong explained”

Latter day AV Club writer has gall to complain about syntax.

Hot on the heels of, “P5 won’t let me ship Joker and Ryuji like in my headcanon so it’s homophobic,” comes, “A P5 spinoff won’t bring back the dead sociopathic murderer I like so it’s homophobic.” I can’t wait for Part 3 of this thrilling trilogy, “P5 made me lose my wallet yesterday so it’s homophobic.”

This is a poor take, Akechi was kinda badly written originally, Royal gives him redemption. He fought to destroy a fake world where he existed because he’d rather have the freedom in death than to be bound to someone else’s reality. Bringing him back cheapens that and just makes him a narcissistic homicidal asshole.

“He was a true member of the Phantom Thieves group.”

What? He literally never was, that’s basically one of the entire plot points.
Did you actually play the game or nah?

He’s dead.  Also, fuck off with calling this homophobia... they have no reason to bring Akechi back just because he was your favorite character.  There is no reason to equate that to the hatred and violence people have against homosexuals...

Actually to add on to this, you know who REALLY need more time for character development than shit head cop? Fucking Haru.

Akechi is a cop that murdered Futabas mother, which in turn made Sad Coffee Dad Sojiro a bachelor for life. There is nothing to like with this kid. I’m glad he died and I hope he is revived to die again. Fight me.
