@@tomfitzpatrick7335 Back in the 70s and 80s when I was a kid the original Shazam story said that the wizard found Billy after searching for a worthy wielder of the power.

Never in my life have i seen a Aboriginal be portrayed in anything outside of Australian films. But now that this has been brought into light, i'm actually really happy about it. I'm aboriginal myself, and it surprised me when i saw the wizard in this video. But all in all, i honestly loved that they used a culture that is almost never realised in the comic fandom, let alone the DC universe! :D
Thai Rogers I'm Aussie but not aboriginal. I agree, the aboriginal culture should be used more. It is one of if not the oldest culture around and has a wonderful dreamtime history that could be written into anything. We as Aussies should be taught more about the aboriginal myths, legends and culture.

@@brunogonzalez5830 To each their own I suppose. I think the tone of MoS was perfect, especially since it showed the struggles Clark went through with humans before finding the ship and learning of his Origins.
Mr Not That Famous Lol it’s a lazy video cuz DC New 52 was too lazy to give much details on him either now Pre New 52 Wizard that one has some history lol
I got an early viewing of Shazam and all I gotta say is that the movie is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.I LOVED it sooo much and it far exceeded my expectations. Anybody going to watch it will enjoy it
Imagine if you were suddenly transported to another dimension against your own will and then some old guy goes up to you and says “Hey kid, want some superpowers?”
I'll be honest I was fine with the guy that played Ares, right up until he revealed his true nature then I think they either should have used someone else or just covered up his face with his helmet
But Carol Danvers is Marvel's Superman. But Shazam! is DC Superman, but Superman is also DC's Superman, but Supergirl is a lesser carbon copy of Superman. Man that's a lot supermans not including reign of the Supermen. Also, why come no one does anything serious with Supergirl and completely redo her character from the ground up?, hell, they did that in Marvel with Carol Danvers back in 2K12.
So Shazam would’ve been more famous if it wasn’t for all those legal issues it had... also he’s the original Captain marvel... but had it’s name change to Shazam... i like Shazam better though because having 2 Captain Marvels is confusing...
And if DC hadn’t only bought him to shut him down since he was outselling Superman. Pretty much how they lost the rights to the name Captain Marvel. Smh :/
captain marvel's the most famous example but there are also names like Enchantress which are the names of distinct characters in both DC and Marvel, being a foe of Thor in marvel comics and that crazy woman from suicide squad in DC
I like the name Shazam better just because it makes more sense with that being what he says to get the power also I can't imagine Marvel's Captain Marvel having a different name even if the way they got it was bull crap.
Well having 2 Shazams (captain Marvel and the wizard) can be confusing as well. The Legal Captain Marvel can keep that name for herself for all I care.
I'm not Aboriginal, but I love how it looks as though the Wizard is an Aboriginal!! So fitting being named after Mamaragan who is a God in Australian-Aboriginal mythology. Love it !!
One of my favorite heroes. Never felt like Shazam was given the respect? I’m so so on this New 52 version of Shazam? Hopefully this movie will breathe some air into the character. My favorite version was from Justice league Unlimited. Superman vs Shazam was 🔥. Going with the trouble teen might be cool though.
QI Xombie personally I liked the first trailer but after seeing more it kinda began to get me like it less and less but I’m glad you enjoyed it more power to you
It was one year ago since last time I saw a film from Variant Comics. Now I'm watching this material and my reaction was: Who are you? What did you do with our host Arris?!
I have loved this character ever since I knew about Shazam which was like 2 or 3 years ago. This was my favorite DC character and when I heard there was a movie I got SO excited.
As much as I love Djimon Hounsou, I reckon they should have gotten an actual aboriginal to play the wizard. I definitely believe Ernie Dingo would have made the perfect candidate 💯 He has the just the perfect amount of wit and humour to go along with the movie adaptation of the character.
AS always, this is a very nicley produced video. I appreciate your love for the original Captain Marvel and that you acknowledged that the New 52 version of both the hero and the Wizard are different enough from their original versions that they should be discussed separately.
Always loved him more than Supes guess that was the same in his original debut why DC lost their shit lol. But I'm glad he's getting a movie he should have so much great stories.
That's clearly Hagrid but Barry messed up the timeline so much he became shazam after dealing drugs to harry and Ron and getting kicked out of Hogwarts.
I find it odd that no one has pointed out that Solomon is not a "god" but was in fact King David's son who God offered him whatever he wanted and instead of wealth or power Solomon asked for a wisdom and knowledge to govern properly a people vast and numerous. God was so impressed with that request that He not only gave Solomon more knowledge and wisdom than any before but also vast marks of honor, wealth, and long life (among other things). It is also important that it is Wisdom that is first because without that the other powers aren't actually useful as they can lead to extreme self-destructive behavior (see Black Adam as an example of that).
@@PhenomenalMFT But Solomon is not the name of a "god" in the DCU. And if they did just make up another "god" like they did for their Cheetah reboot, then why would said being grant wisdom if it was not supposed to be the Biblical Solomon? Otherwise what level of wisdom would Billy even be getting?
Great way of explaining Shazam(The God that gave Billy Batson his powers) origin. I've always wondered what his origin was or if he even had an origin. On the basis in the comics he was just there.
I always thought that the wisdom of Solomon referred to King Solomon of Bible lore who was not in fact a god LOL maybe they made him one in the DC universe but that's kind of strange I always thought it was just a metaphor for saying how wise shazam is
I always thought that was his most interesting power. The Solomon power gives him a genius IQ, an amazing encyclopedic library of knowledge, translation of any language, and clairvoyance! Not a bad substitute for Superman's xray and other super visions and senses!
DUDE!! You left out that sweet 1973 Dodge Open Road RV(with Shazam logo on the hood) and Mentor. And what about that little secrets we call (The Secrets of) Isis?? HA! HA!. Love the vid!!
Please do videos on these gods and the question! Can we get a an origin of zatanna? Shouldn’t Shazam nationally kick Superman’s ass since magic is a major weakness to him in any outcome?
Wish this origin video covered who he was before he got on the council. Was he a regular guy that learned magic? Were his parents wizards? Did a deity create him specifically for the task of his life’s work? I suppose the comics may have never covered it
Wisdom of Solomon Strength of Hercules Stamina of Atlas Power of Zeus Courage of Achilles Speed of Mercury Basically a Superman with Lightning powers instead of lazer eyes
Just took my 6 year old nephew to watch the new Shazam film and I really liked it, my nephew loved it even though I covered his eyes for the boardroom scene!
"Wormguy" is known as Mister Mind. He is genius, mind controling, hypnotic, telepathic alien worm. He's a major adversary of Captain Marvel. He is also the leader of Monster Society of Evil, one of the first established villainous teams in comics.
Solomon and Achilles are not gods. They're extremely talented mortals. Hercules is a demigod. The others are gods, as far as I know. Many would argue that they're all mythical, but I know that all myths have a factual basis. Who can say for certain?:)
When you added the extremely talented mortals I was like if they don't come from god's... I can throw a billboard at my sister for throwing a pillow at me yesterday then you hit it with the Demi-god I was like "there goes my dreams"
Hercules has an apotheosis, like many cultural heroes and figures in Greco-Roman Mythology. Sometimes being revered for deeds and having become an embodiment of a particular aspect of life makes a person eligible for worship and god hood, if not that, treated as a god. Solomon was not an immortal elder, and they couldn't use Odin (messy) so they just chose a biblical king, an embodiment of wisdom due to his story. Whilst Achilles never reaches god-hood he still has cults and worship that put him at god-like status.
everyone talking shit, who has super powers like shazam and sentry that there like superman but what about a japanese super heroes that superman copied the powers from? edit: its a lost heroes that has the same powers that superman has
Still can't believe they gave the Phantom Stranger an origin. His one schtick was how he was a total mystery, and not only do they take that from him, they slap him with the hackneyed old "Judas" trope to boot. Has that been retconned yet? I hope so.

Some noob. :)
I need 3 uploads a day from this channel this content is golden
I've been excited for this movie since it's release. Saw the 1st trailer and ignored the others because 1) I didn't wanna be spoiled (they show too much in trailers now and 2) the 1st trailer was all I needed.
Called out of work so I can go see it.
