>There is a montage parodying Zack Snyder’s films with various specialists debating whether the Shazam family is friend or foe.
>The Shazam family has been drifting apart lately as everyone is growing older and discovering their own particular interests and aspirations.
>Billy in particular is worried because he’s about to turn 18 and age out of the foster system, and fears he will have to leave the Vasquez when that happens.
>Billy can communicate with the spirit of the Wizard, who tells that he must step up as a leader and inspire the others to keep fighting to protect the world.
>Billy is concerned he can’t do it alone and gets very clingy trying to get everyone to keep fighting crime together even when they have other things to do.

>The family rescues Freddy and Anne and returns to the Rock of Eternity, where Billy uses a magic sentient pen nicknamed “Steve” to draft a letter to Hespera calling for a truce.
>Shazam and Hespera meet at a hamburger joint and Hespera admits her father was a tyrant. She accepts the truce and just wants to leave Earth, but Kalypso wants revenge.
>Kalypso arrives in a dragon and attacks the city with an army of magic creatures. There is a gag where Darla meets aggressive unicorns and tames them with skittles.
>The family arrives and fights Kalypso, but get defeated. Hespera figures out they are just kids and tries to stop Kalypso, but she kills Hespera and leaves to destroy the world.
>As the Wizard’s champion, Billy is the only one who can stop her, but it might be a suicide mission.

>Billy fights Kalypso at a baseball field where she’s about to destroy the world. They wrestle for control of the staff and Billy breaks it, causing an explosion that disintegrates Kalypso and her dragon.
>Billy reverts to teenage form and dies from the strain. The family mourns him, and Anne takes him to be buried in the kingdom, which is now hers. The scene is a clear reference to Superman’s death in BvS.

Nobody cares. Fuck off.

This sounds super boring

that's fucking terrible, hope you're larping
if the fight are good than ok it will just be an teenage action flick if the action is slow and not entertaining than is a flop of the highest order
These new costumes look so much better. Bless them costume dewsigners.
>There is a gag where Darla meets aggressive unicorns and tames them with skittles.
HOLY HE*KING CRAP!
>there is a montage parodying Zack Snyder's films
In a light hearted way or in a douchy way? The vibe you get from WB threads is that the execs didn't like Zack's vision and just wanted to churn out Marvel-esque shit
I miss Snyder bros
Better than Snyder-esque shit, which never drew a dime post-300.
Man, Geoff Johns really ruined Captain Marvel. No wonder billyfags are so mad. The Shazam comics are supposed to be about wacky illogical capeshit adventures with crocodiles in zoots suits and mad scientists that can use math equations to pass though walls. Not this shitty fantasy thor knock off.
>>Doctor Sivana and Mister Mind don’t appear and aren’t referenced at all, and there are no post-credits scenes, at least not in the test-screening.
Terrible
Every writer had their shtick
based MF DOOM picture
Shazam! isn't the best example of post-Snyder selling to a wide audience...
yes it is, it was successful despite being a literally who movie
360 million is embarrassing for a movie that's not out during a lockdown, it's pretty low even for the early pre Avengers movies, let alone at the absolute apex of capeshit enthusiasm.
It was poorly marketed, and it made little money. Sure Captain Marvel had synergy with the MCU, but no one but Nick Fury is actually in it, it shouldn't have made triple Shazam!'s money.
The budget is not an excuse or justification either.
Also, it was in wide release, and ran for 10 months? Just sad, really, without a pandemic.
Lastly, nothing in theaters even made half of what Shazam! did during it's opening, Captain Marvel was already winding down, Dumbo was flopping, Pet Semetary was doing poorly.
Clearly WB will scrap the idea of Shazam!2 opening against Avatar 2, that would be a massacre.
>Just sad, really
not as sad as a movie with Batman and Superman in it not making at least 1 billion
