They don't know what to do with it. they should have left him dead.

Or better yet free to the public

DC is just too deeply invested in Superman, and Billy is always seen as a rivalsan to Supes, since the very beginning.

Nothing wrong with Cap.
Nothing can be done about past failure to renew copyright on the name, but Mary and Freddy should have been revived as close as possible to their originals. The Marvels were always less 'serious' than Superman and that was part of their charm.
Introducing an entire spectrum of Shazam Family wannabees was a terrible mistake.
Fawcett tried Lieutenant Marvels and quickly realized it didn't work. I think they only made one more appearance.

is absolutely right. Good characters and no notion of what to do with them.
When Cap was brought back from suspended animation they got C.C.Beck, his original artist, to draw him. Beck quit within months, disgusted by how far everything had been 'dumbed down'.

Mary fared best, getting some good Schaffenberger art. And them some idiot turned her evil and ugly.

Ordway run was fantastic.
And that's about it.

>The Marvels were always less 'serious' than Superman and that was part of their charm.
Nah, The Marvels were about oddball magical shenanigans (mostly) and Superman was about alien/SCIENCE shenanigans (mostly. But both were classically about silly shenanigans.
There was a bit of overlap in their silly (Supes had silly magic foes, Marvels had silly SCIENCE foes) but overall both were silly as fuck.

Honestly he's part of the way there, his first appearance story is public domain and some of the Fawcett run is

>Opinions on Post-Crisis Captain Marvel

Thomas-era is just ok, Since it's not in-continuity it's just an interesting look at what could've been.
Ordway run is great.
Post-Crisis Captain Marvel is generally alright up until Infinite Crisis or around there. Then they didn't know what to do with them and Johns was clearly more interested in writing Black Adam.

Who is this guy and why are you posting him with the name Captain marvel? This is Captain Marvel. She's ok I guess but i have only seen the movie and endgame.

his name is Shazam

oh wait this is an opinion thread and I just stated a fact

He should be on Earth-S where he is the star of the show, not on Earth-1 (or whatever they call it these days) where is he relegated to the *Teen Titans* comic. Seriously, the guy with the speed of Mercury and only comes out than the forgotten Kid Flash?

Put him back in his own world where the Marvel Family can be the premiere superteam. Its not like crossovers still cant happen.

So, Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel both have the speed of Mercury/Hermes, but Wonder Woman is faster because the Amazons had her practice proper sprinting form?

Not enough Georgia Sivanna.

A lot of truth here. Many of the most well-remembered "whimsical" Captain Marvel stories and elements didn't really start appearing until relatively late in the run, or post-War.

She's the best but what's 'post-crisis'?

No editor caught the copy-paste error?

They need to let him be the star of his own book and keep the conparisions to Superman to a minimun. Specially because he they can't let Billy beat Superman ever.
Also Freddy and Mary were good enought compliments to him, the idea of introducing more kids doesnt really work.
Lastly use more of his villians, Sivana, Mr. Mind and Black Adam are great they are all they use now.
