Yeah, i genuinely don't understand why WB seemed to push through more movies about side characters rather than focusing on their most popular characters.
When I first saw the Shazam trailer, I decided to do research on the character's history. When I came across Mr Mind, I instantly fell in love. He's the perfect blend of silly and horrifying, and I really liked his portrayal in the Brave and the Bold cartoon. When watching Shazam for the first time, I had no clue Mr Mind would appear. And everything from the slimy look to the static voice was perfect. I was pumped for Shazam 2, pitting a powerful yet lighthearted character like Billy against a foe that's weak, but vile and intelligent would be amazing. And when it finally came out....not only was it a train wreck, not only was Mr Mind not the main villain, but they completely reduced his character to an "Erm, that just happened," joke. F*ck Shazam 2 and f*ck yellow skittles.
I will never understand why David S Sandberg would tease Mr.Mind in his post credit scene but then not follow up on it and instead create original villains that really didn’t have an effect on Shazam’s arc. And it was a slap in the face that they teased it againnnnn knowing there was a reboot coming
To be fair about blue beetle James Gunn has said they are gonna make a booster gold project and a show about Blue beetle taking place in the new DCU So I mean technically will lead to something eventually
I wish they never hired Zack Snyder. Even if they didn't have a plan, at least it would've easier to actually build it up without Snyder's tone and style.
@@DavidMartinez-ce3lp Snyder had a very specific vision of how these characters would be that the other directors didn’t seem to agree with. I’d love to have seen how James Wan had done Aquaman if he got to cast it from scratch.
I'd still like a Shazam 3. I actually liked the second movie, it didn't make sense to me to go to Mr. Mind just yet, and I feel like they would have actually delivered on Mr. Mind in the third as a way to close the trilogy. Since the Shazam movies were already so separated from the rest of the DCEU for the most part, just movies that take place in a DC universe, they could just make a third one anyway and it not conflict with the current DCU. The biggest thing getting in the way is time because these are movies that focus on the gimmick of children who become adults with super powers, and once they're adults, I mean, I suppose it still works because now they have super powers and look like what their peak physiques could be, but it's just not the same. It's a thing that works well in comics and animation because the kids never have to age, but since we're dealing with the real world, and if Shazam 3 is to happen, it's gotta start gearing up for post-production now, which can't happen without pre-production and production to then post-produce. We had two years stolen from us because of the pandemic and there doesn't seem to be plans in the near future, so sadly, the Shazam film franchise is dead. It also doesn't help that The Rock can't allow himself to just be the villain and take some hits without that somehow gassing him up and come back even stronger. While I liked the sequel we got, it would have been cool to see the Shazam Family go up against him in the second movie, but then see that he's only doing what he feels is best for the people of Kahndaq, and then in the third movie, they ask for his help to defeat Mr. Mind because what he's got going is so big, the world will be destroyed, which obviously puts Black Adam's people at risk. We had a glimpse at greatness, but too many things got in the way.
@@MCLegoboy It woulda been nice if Black Adam had been the villain in the first movie THEN we got a Black Adam spin-off. I think all parties would have benefited.
@@_MECHA_ I watch Superman to see a character powerful and smart enough to not solve problems in the way the rest of the world does. A Superman who can’t find a better way than straight up brutal execution is like watching a Superman who can’t fly. Just my opinion
Superman (generally) never kills. It's one of the core principles of his character. It's his way of showing that even though he's basically a god, he wants humanity's trust, he wants people to know he's capable of showing restraint. By killing the first ever threat he is faced with, it tells the world that, to this mysterious godlike man, killing is very much an option when something goes against him. And considering his motives were still pretty unknown to most of humanity (and especially the authorities), that doesn't make Superman seem very trustworthy. To fix that bit of the story, he could've just, y'know, taken Zod to an isolated area or to space, virtually anywhere else without easy access to defenseless humans for Zod to use as a dilemma for Supes, then beaten him until he couldn't fight back
@bluekozmox I think you're missing the whole point. A massive part of story writing and character development is a characters morals or worldview or whatever getting challenged. Superman doesn't kill, he thinks all life is precious, that is his worldview. Zod, after his original plan fails, decides he is just going to kill as many people as he can. Superman is the only thing that can stop him, no prisons can hold him, if take him somewhere and beat him up he'll just get up and start killing again when he can, there is no easy cop out that'll stop zod without Superman killing him. It's not like the decision is made lightly, iirc Superman has to choose between letting a family get lazered or killing zod, obviously he's going to kill zod but it still clearly has an effect on him. Also humanity doesn't exactly trust him in BvS, although it probably should've been linked more to killing zod than the random terrorist thing at the start of the film, Batman's motivation especially should've been superman killing zod, but they decided to make Batman a killer himself and it was all quite messed up. Some smaller changes could've connected the 2 films much more and given much better motivations for everyone involved, but it's too late for that now. Still though, superman killing zod in man of steel was a perfectly good direction for the story to go in, it just wasn't followed up on well in the next film. If there was some cop out at the end and superman just beat up zod and that alone saved the day, it would be a pretty bad ending. That would be like iron man seeing the tapes of the winter soldier killing his parents towards the end of civil war and then just calmly accepting his apology, because they are too scared to commit to actual lasting consequences or moral depth.
@ I understand the reasoning and I’m not against Clark having killed and regretted it at some point. Smallville had an episode where he was inadvertently responsible for a villain’s death and the guilt made him vow to never kill again. I just think of the writers wanted to put him in a no win scenario where he felt forced that they should have come up with something else. I believe any true Superman could have come up with many other options in this specific scenario. If Superman is meant to embody hope I believe this was a bad foot to introduce the character to audiences. If Superman is fallible, the world is doomed, which seems to be something Snyder was headed towards in his original plans.
@@Battyj if they really wanted to, they could have come up with something. I dunno, introduce the Phantom Zone, have him beat Zod and send that as a message to those still loyal to him, do literally anything else that doesn't result in Superman killing him. If anything him killing Zod feels like the cop out, like they couldn't come up with a smarter solution. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying protagonists shouldn't kill or want to do so, I'm just saying in this case it just doesn't fit
What was the best DCEU Post-Credit scene in your opinion? What was the worst?
It's like going through a dumpster and rating each trash. At the end of the day they're all trash

@@bradworstyt7001 The fact that they did such a good job on their portrayal of Mr. Mind just makes it worse!
@Fantagonistic David F. Sandberg's voice, along with the vocal effect, gave me chills the first time I heard it.

Very underrated channel. keep up the good content.

Henney cavyl is the worst superman
I agree but of course no fault of his own Zack Snyder is a complete idiot
I agree. I actually think he was better in Joss Whedon's Justice League because he was brighter and more hopeful. Snyder made him so boring.
