Fun Fact Shazam used to be called "Captain Marvel" but due to legal trouble with the trademark, which was entirely DC's fault, they changed his name to Shazam.
@@mousie508 His name was Captain Marvelous before being changed to captain Marvel. And this was back when Marvel Comics was called Atlas Comics. There’s a video by Comic Drake explaining how it happened. It’s called “The Infamous Captain Marvel Lawsuit”
I’m pretty sure it was DC comics that gave him the name it was another comic corporation called MF Comics who created Shazam to rival Superman in the comic book industry. DC decided to but the company to get rights to the character but Marvel Comics owned the name. DC owned the Character Mabel owned the name. What was DCs solution ? They change the name of the character to Shazam
@@joverdover2 basically Dc sued the OG publisher of Captain Marvel(Shazam) and years later Marvel bought the trademark and made their own. Years after that DC Bought the OG publisher an brought him over to their world. To this day DC can still call the character Captain Marvel but they can’t call any of the books or adaptations “Captain Marvel” because marvel owns the Trademark. DC used to just call the books Shazam and the character Captain Marvel. The name change happened in 2011
Zeus' powers also multiple powers of other gods(like hercules strength with boost of zeus magic) and his magical power is almost equal to zeus Only difference is "solomon's wisdom (experience, knowledge and smartness) directly comes from king solomon, so no boost from zeus(maybe shazam's spideysense is bcz of solomon boost with zeus)
For your question about how guns get into schools, they don’t. People usually shoot their way in. Like destroying the glass doors like that one girl did last year.
Also, not all (or even most) schools have metal detectors. That's reserved for areas with high levels of gun crime, I think (usually urban areas like Chicago, to my understanding). Which is not "everywhere in America," contrary to what I'm sure some would say LOL
Don there is no voting or questioning the fact you must watch all the animated movies from DC and All the Batman animations. You will not regret the journey.
@quinnceeyy Neither of their sequels did well. They were both released in the same year, along with The⚡️Flash and Blue🪲Beetle, bloating the craze like the current MCU releases.
9:30 they do have metal detectors in a lot of bigger cities now because of the previous incidents. They do not have them in all schools, no way some places could afford that, however having a police officer stationed at the school as a liaison/safety officer is very common nowadays.
Definitely recommend, I thought of it was a great movie compared to what DC have done and what Marvel ones started becoming. Get more lore on Shazam and the Wizards as well as a more serious darker tone to the legacy of both. Black Adam is also just a fantastic character who oppose both villains and heroes and I feel the Rock did a great job as him.
A better Black Adam was the one from the DC Showcase Short film, Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam, starring Arnold Vosloo, the Mummy, as the dark corrupt champion. "When you crush an ant beneath your boot, do you feel remorse? No. Is it because you are evil, or because you recognize yourself as a higher form of life? This is what the Wizard could not understand; if I have the powers of the Gods, then am I not a God myself? Should I not be treated as such?"
Not only it changed the origin of Black Adam, but also the justice society in it was not even close to how the comic version was. That black Adam movie was disappointing, maybe laughable
Imagine, one child spent his whole childhood in search of his mother (and left so many homes... If he would have known then maybe he would have moved on)
The school has metal detectors, and you even asked how do people still get into schools with pew pews.... the Asian kid literally brought nunchuks to school and didn't get in trouble...
Bro, Joker and The Batman movies, and also the League of Super Pets are NOT DCEU movies, they are DC Comics property but they don't belong in the Cinematic Universe. The DCEU movies are just: Man of Steel BvS: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition) Suicide Squad (Extended Cut) Wonder Woman Justice League 2017 (Zack Snyder's Justice League 2021 isn't considered canon by WB but the fans considered it canon) Aquaman Shazam! Birds of Prey Wonder Woman 1984 *The Suicide Squad *Peacemaker (series) Black Adam Shazam: Fury of the Gods The Flash *Blue Beetle Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Note: James Gunn, the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, is now the co-head of DC Studios, much like Kevin Feige was for Marvel Studious, James Gunn rebooted or reset the entire DCEU property and it is now called the DCU. It will encompass an entirely new cast for some titular heroes such as Superman who is no longer played by Henry Cavill but played by David Corenswet. The (*) shows that James Gunn has plans to bring the characters involved in these projects to the DCU despite initially being a DCEU product, we don't know how James will work those out but we'll just have to wait and see, and James Gunn also directed The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker so there's that. And speaking of directing James Gunn will also direct the new Superman movie for the DCU called SUPERMAN: LEGACY and it will come out next year.
My vote is to continue Young Justice, now that you watched these movies you might understand some of the characters better. There's also the animated movies, after The Falshpoint Paradox.
Yes glad you are carrying on with the rest of the DCEU movies. Definitely watch the rest in release order. Don't worry what haters of certain movies say, movies are subjective and you make your own opinion of each one 👍 Here for them all and a new sub for your channel.
I really enjoyed Shazam! It was a delightfully funny film & Zachary Levi was fantastic in the role. I was very saddened it didn't hit very well with a mass audience but that's the way it went. You try something & it either hits or doesnt but there are so many who claim Hollywood never come up with new stories and relie on existing IP'S. The truth is as long as it makes money that's what we will continue to get. Reboot, after reboot, after reboot.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch The Batman (2004)! It is absolutely my favorite Batman show. It starts off in Bruce's third year as Batman and slowly it introduces characters like Batgirl, Robin and the Justice League! You won't regret it
I love the DC show "Doom Patrol". It's not a typical superhero show and for some people it's a bit too wierd. But I really liked it and I can rocommend this show to you.
I appreciate the small clips at the very beginning that show a later scene in the movie BUT some people genuinely watch your videos without seeing the movie and so those scenes kinda spoil part of the movie.
Shazam in the comics almost killed Superman with lighting by holding him and constantly saying Shazam so I would argue it’s probably possible if not equal strength then Shazam might be stronger
He comes out and says its not gonna buff out but those kids do not deserve a car because they ran him over and then kept on kicking him yeah I think that Joke is fine and he doesn't deserve to get punched or anything.
If you wanna watch a DC TV show I would recommend season 1 of The Flash or Arrow but for the love of God don’t try to finish those shows because they got so much worse by the end
Shazam is one of my favorite DC comic book characters of all time. Here's top 10 DC superheroes of all time 1. John Constantine 2. Batman 3. Shazam 4. The Flash 5. Aquaman 6. Nightwing 7. Cyborg 8. Swanp Thing 9. Wonder Woman 10. Robotman Just for shits & giggles My top 10 Marvel superheroes 1. Spider-Man 2. Wolverine 3. The Punisher 4. Captain America 5. Deadpool 6. Ghost Rider 7. Cyclops 8. Iron Man 9. Gambit 10. Blade My top 5 Independent superheroes 1. Invincible 2. Hellboy 3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4. Spawn 5. Savage Dragon
It's understandable. After season 3-4, it felt like Arrow blew it's load early. I mean, Prometheus was ok, and then learning the truth behind Oliver's executions during season 1 was kinda interesting. It almost reminded me of The Punisher rant from Daredevil season 2, with him claiming that he did it because he liked and wanted to do it. But yeah, the Legion of Doom and Ninth Circle were kinda lame antagonists. In fact, the Ninth Circle felt like a discount League of Assassins.
0:36 The other Dc animated movies I still think is one of the better movies to watch and still meet other characters in DC, Its the movies that come after Justice League: Flashpoint which was done on the channel before. Not that sure what to actually call them. but I think that's a good one to continue if you ever do. If not I'd recommend Batman: under the red hood, which is just a single movie that I also enjoy highly.
If you want the animated equivalent of this movie and Black Adam, go watch the DC Showcase short which teamed up Shazam with Superman, voiced by their actors from Justice League: Unlimited. It's awesome! Also, Arnold Vosloo, or Imhotep the Mummy, voiced Black Adam.
You know how is Freddy getting made fun of in the next film He should be the top king of the school at this point He had Superman nay Henry Cavill Superman eating at his table and I know technically it wasn't Henry Cavill wearing the suit at the moment but if they it's in the same universe we all know it's technically Henry Cavill Superman regardless we will give him credit where WB didn't and he had Shazam on his left who just saved the goddamn city how the f*** is he still getting bullied by the next film those bullies should be his slaves pretty much like the guys that go up to him being like hey hey what's up hey you think you can invite your Shazam friend or red cyclone as they call them I don't f****** know.
Watch the DC Animated movies in ORDER there is NO reason to watch Young Justice when you don't even know the main characters😒 (people have to tell you about characters all in the comments so find out for yourself..)
Fun Fact Shazam used to be called "Captain Marvel" but due to legal trouble with the trademark, which was entirely DC's fault, they changed his name to Shazam.

S-olomon's wisdom
H-ercules strengh
A-tlas stamina
Z-eus power
A-quiles courage
M-ercury's speed
Achilles lmao
blud its Achilles
😂Aquiles
But bro either way...DC still got very clever with each letter of Shazam's name being the first letter of the first names of the Greek gods.
Zeus' powers also multiple powers of other gods(like hercules strength with boost of zeus magic) and his magical power is almost equal to zeus
Only difference is "solomon's wisdom (experience, knowledge and smartness) directly comes from king solomon, so no boost from zeus(maybe shazam's spideysense is bcz of solomon boost with zeus)
By the time the 2nd movie got filmed, Billy (main kid) ended up being almost as tall as the adult Shazam actor lol
For your question about how guns get into schools, they don’t. People usually shoot their way in. Like destroying the glass doors like that one girl did last year.
You would be surprised but most school shootings happen inside/on school grounds
Also, not all (or even most) schools have metal detectors. That's reserved for areas with high levels of gun crime, I think (usually urban areas like Chicago, to my understanding). Which is not "everywhere in America," contrary to what I'm sure some would say LOL
@@sammyursula Seriously, it’s like people think we’re one ginormous city.
The several kids becoming one Shazam was the flashpoint paradox
Some schools in the US (not all) have metal dectros because so many weapons get taken into school. We have issues over here :)
Don there is no voting or questioning the fact you must watch all the animated movies from DC and All the Batman animations. You will not regret the journey.
Peacemaker and harley quinn have been some laughs every episode
"When do I watch Wonder Woman 84?" The answer to that should be never
The answer is let people watch and decide for themselves if they like something or not..
@@JadeK297 The answer is you missed the joke :'>
Is the joke that it’s bad? Cuz that’s not a joke, it’s supposed to be funny 😒
Don the guy sitting on the driver seat was in the series Smallville
he played Lionel Luther
One of the best dc movies ever fr
the comic book accuracy is crazy in this one😂
Fax and Aquaman 1 😂 idk about the 2nd one
@quinnceeyy Neither of their sequels did well. They were both released in the same year, along with The⚡️Flash and Blue🪲Beetle, bloating the craze like the current MCU releases.
Fax
YES as a huge captain marvel comics fan i absolutely love this movie
9:30 they do have metal detectors in a lot of bigger cities now because of the previous incidents. They do not have them in all schools, no way some places could afford that, however having a police officer stationed at the school as a liaison/safety officer is very common nowadays.
If you like this id recommend Black Adam, its linked to shazam and has The rock as the main cast. similar type of concept
Definitely recommend, I thought of it was a great movie compared to what DC have done and what Marvel ones started becoming. Get more lore on Shazam and the Wizards as well as a more serious darker tone to the legacy of both. Black Adam is also just a fantastic character who oppose both villains and heroes and I feel the Rock did a great job as him.
the rock is trash
A better Black Adam was the one from the DC Showcase Short film, Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam, starring Arnold Vosloo, the Mummy, as the dark corrupt champion.

Nope, that movie sucks @ss.
Not only it changed the origin of Black Adam, but also the justice society in it was not even close to how the comic version was. That black Adam movie was disappointing, maybe laughable
Next on Don Townsend: The Dark Knight Rises
And After That: Chronicle
Bro really watching every movie in existence for the first time 💀
I still haven’t watched any marvel or Batman movie
Shazam is my favorite superhero ever since i saw the 2019 film
idk the mom was wrong for sure but seeing her situation she was kinda right that he was better off without her imo
Imagine, one child spent his whole childhood in search of his mother (and left so many homes... If he would have known then maybe he would have moved on)
I mean it may be true but there’s steps you can take before you leave your child at the fair
The school has metal detectors, and you even asked how do people still get into schools with pew pews.... the Asian kid literally brought nunchuks to school and didn't get in trouble...
i remember seeing this movie opening night and sitting through it with a broken ankle cos i fell getting to my seat and didnt realize i broke it.
are you okay
This one is criminally underrated. It’s at least Top 3 for DC movies
Bro, Joker and The Batman movies, and also the League of Super Pets are NOT DCEU movies, they are DC Comics property but they don't belong in the Cinematic Universe.
The DCEU movies are just:
Man of Steel
BvS: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition)
Suicide Squad (Extended Cut)
Wonder Woman
Justice League 2017 (Zack Snyder's Justice League 2021 isn't considered canon by WB but the fans considered it canon)
Aquaman
Shazam!
Birds of Prey
Wonder Woman 1984
*The Suicide Squad
*Peacemaker (series)
Black Adam
Shazam: Fury of the Gods
The Flash
*Blue Beetle
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Note:
James Gunn, the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, is now the co-head of DC Studios, much like Kevin Feige was for Marvel Studious, James Gunn rebooted or reset the entire DCEU property and it is now called the DCU. It will encompass an entirely new cast for some titular heroes such as Superman who is no longer played by Henry Cavill but played by David Corenswet.

22:46 I just realized that’s Lionel Luthor from Smallville.
Shazam gotta be in my top 10 in the dcu movies
You gotta watch the cw’s version of the flash the first two seasons are pretty damn good
yeah
Loved the reaction. Imma have to go back to check out the ones that came b4
Yes glad you are carrying on with the rest of the DCEU movies.
Definitely watch the rest in release order.
Don't worry what haters of certain movies say, movies are subjective and you make your own opinion of each one 👍
Here for them all and a new sub for your channel.
Yes thank you Don, you are going to watch this movie 🍿, and I love it ❤
Lol at the end they're talking about how being able to talk to fish isn't that cool, and then you see Next Up: Aquaman.

I was waiting for this
Amazing movie so underrated but so good
YOU ACTUALLY REACTED TO IT LET'S GOOO!!! MY COMMENT GOT TRUE
She was 21 when dhe left but 17 when he was born
the answer to the metal detectors is usually the ones in ghettos have metal detectors not all but way more common.
Young Justice yes please
I really enjoyed Shazam! It was a delightfully funny film & Zachary Levi was fantastic in the role. I was very saddened it didn't hit very well with a mass audience but that's the way it went.
You try something & it either hits or doesnt but there are so many who claim Hollywood never come up with new stories and relie on existing IP'S.
The truth is as long as it makes money that's what we will continue to get. Reboot, after reboot, after reboot.
The villians brother is actually Thor actors actual brother Luke Hamsworth😂
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch The Batman (2004)! It is absolutely my favorite Batman show. It starts off in Bruce's third year as Batman and slowly it introduces characters like Batgirl, Robin and the Justice League! You won't regret it
I love the DC show "Doom Patrol". It's not a typical superhero show and for some people it's a bit too wierd. But I really liked it and I can rocommend this show to you.
Titans is really good!
rewatch it so many times lol
I appreciate the small clips at the very beginning that show a later scene in the movie BUT some people genuinely watch your videos without seeing the movie and so those scenes kinda spoil part of the movie.
young justice
Ayo Don just started watching you nice videos
"how do guns get through them?"💀
Black Adam next Please
You should watch Shazam 2
Shazam in the comics almost killed Superman with lighting by holding him and constantly saying Shazam so I would argue it’s probably possible if not equal strength then Shazam might be stronger
Hey don try seing the flash series its really good
For a DCEU series do
Doom Patrol
The Peacemaker

13:30 That is his sister
Hey bro can you react to the first 2 gremlin movies. Trust me they are hella fun to watch.

You should now watch SHAZAM 2 :)
Wish it had a little more action and fighting scenes
He comes out and says its not gonna buff out but those kids do not deserve a car because they ran him over and then kept on kicking him yeah I think that Joke is fine and he doesn't deserve to get punched or anything.
If you wanna watch a DC TV show I would recommend season 1 of The Flash or Arrow but for the love of God don’t try to finish those shows because they got so much worse by the end
I'd say watch The flash ⚡ up till like s1-6 then skip season 7 start at 8 and then finish there
watch arrow seasons 1 2 3 and 5 but skip the rest watch flash seasons 1 2 3 skip the rest and go on to season 9
Shazam isn't stronger than superman physically but he can win cause supes is weak to magic
Shazam is one of my favorite DC comic book characters of all time.

What name of that microphone holder? Look steady
The real mom got pregnant at 17 and abandoned him at 21.
Billy is 14 in this movie.
DC series: Arrow
It's sweet and nice. Not too mad if you drop it in the late seasons tho
It's understandable. After season 3-4, it felt like Arrow blew it's load early. I mean, Prometheus was ok, and then learning the truth behind Oliver's executions during season 1 was kinda interesting. It almost reminded me of The Punisher rant from Daredevil season 2, with him claiming that he did it because he liked and wanted to do it. But yeah, the Legion of Doom and Ninth Circle were kinda lame antagonists. In fact, the Ninth Circle felt like a discount League of Assassins.
Oh my Goj.
You should watch suicide squad, and then watch peacemaker series
Are you going to watch the Knuckles TV Show? The trailer came out

Fun fact Shazam was first called Marvel andactually was from Marvel copyright And stuff like that so now DC has the right stuff Shazam marvel
you should watch black adam
12:37 watch Black Adam sometime, it will give you a reason he is so picky. Not directly a sequel to this movie, but same universe/subject sort of.
Watch the DC Animated movies in ORDER there is NO reason to watch Young Justice when you don't even know the main characters😒 (people have to tell you about characters all in the comments so find out for yourself..)
I just done watch haxbin

WATCH SHAZAM 2
Watch the suicide squad
Not suicide squad “THE suicide squad” the on w John Cena
Aquaman 2
I’m scrolling through your uploads and I don’t see a Suicide Squad (2016) reaction. That should have come right after Batman v Superman.
Shazam 2
Jerry?
i definately recommend the dc series called titans. its one of my favourites and it currently has 4 seasons. btw love the videos :)
The movie is very funny
yo don can you react to the live action avatar the last Airbender trailer?
