Shazam! (2019) VS Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- Shazam was a more lighthearted comic book movie from DC and Warner Bros and was a financial success for the Studio, enough for them to move forward with Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods.
Shazam 2 was released and unfortunately failed at the box office and did not end up being a return on investment for DC and Warner Bros Discovery.
But that doesn't mean that Shazam 2 was a bad film.
And in this video we are going to compare Shazam 1 against Shazam 2 and see which Shazam movie is superior in this versus battle.

Awesome video as always Eric. I genuiently enjoy your content as always and I hope that more people will reconise your talent as a content creator. Keep it up bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Maybe DC just thrives with horror directors. James Wan made Aquaman, David Sandburg made the Shazam movies and Andy Muschietti directed The Flash (which apparently has been called one of the best comic book movies after early screenings despite Ezra Miller’s actions). Hell, James Gunn even used to be a horror director and now he’s in charge of DC with a genuine plan.
Nolan didnt direct horror films and the dark knight trilogy was great. Zack snyder did a horror film but man of steel and bvs were crap. Patty jenkins didnt do a horror film and wonder woman was great.
The first Shazam is better for sure, but I actually think Shazam 2 made the two actors for Billy Batson closer in their characteristics. In the first movie they felt like two completely different people. At least in the sequel you can see the teen actor a little more happier in his mood whereas in the first one he was completely depressed 90% of the time unlike Zachary.
Actually completely the opposite, the second, shazam is completely unrecognizable
Actually, Shazam and Billy’s personality are completely opposite. Billy is more mature in his normal form but somehow he acted even more childish in his Shazam mode
- Shazam is one of those films that only get better the more I think about them.
- Black Adam is more of a guilty pleasure for me.
- Shazam 2 features tons of interesting ideas, but they're buried beneath so much generic genre fare, it looses itself and becomes just another PG-13 comic book movie.
Shazam 2, despite me not enjoying it as much as the first, was really fun. I enjoyed it more than I thought.
Nah, I was just waiting for it to be over, first one was a million times better
@@Myday_145 facts
@@danggoodfood3202 What are you MCU fangirls? :)
Eric: When do you see a family dynamic like this in a superhero movie? Never.
The Incredibles: Am I a joke to you?
Hes talking foster families
@@mathew7878 yes
um in shazam billy mom abandon him cause she couldn't take care of him and still didn't want him back when he got older so he found new parents with the foster mom and dad. with incredibles the heroes retired raised a family then the dad left to do superhero on the side and ended up being a super hero family so I would say way different family dynamic.
Not a movie, but I think Superman and Lois deserves a mention too.
Both movies are better then captain marvel
Very true
Hell yes
I love Captain Marvel and can't wait for The Marvels!
@@HarryThomasPictures Cringe
@@HarryThomasPictures I feel bad for u
Finally, someone who DOESN'T act like shazam 2 pushed their grandma down the stairs.
I mean it ain’t a terrible movie it just boring and mid and not fun or good like the first one lol
Exactly. I think the film was pretty great. I have no idea what peoples problems are?
My guess is they either went in wanting to hate it or perhaps they didn't watch it at all.
@@danggoodfood3202 Your taste is mid. Go back to watching MCU Captain Marvel lol
All jokes aside, I think the film is awesome. But I think its one of those movies you either love or hate. I think if more people watched it more people would feel like us. Especially people who arew into story based superhero movies rather than just action joy rides.
This movie reminded me of 80s movies like monster squad or goonies. Also reading the comics, may have helped me appreciate the film more.
9:44, Dr. Strange's director Scott Derrickson told that he wanted to make the second movie more horror by showing the multiverse as a scary concept that shouldn't be tampered with but Marvel and Disney only wanted it to include non-scary jumpscares since it was a PG-13 film so the director walked out and they brought Sam Raimi in.
Poor Scott! Well, at least he got to work on The Black Phone. Hope he he was happy with the results.
But multiverse of madness showed that the multiverse is a scary concept.
In the second movie, I didn't get the Atlas Sisters' motive. They literally have powers already and are powerful, it feels dumb to think the kids "stole" the powers was dumb considering the sisters' powers.
It wasn't about getting the powers back, it was about making a point, setting an example that they shouldn't be messed with. This is why Hespera and Anthea decided to drop the whole thing when it comes to attacking the Shazam family. Yes they had their powers, but the wizard giving their powers away, to mortal children no less was a slap to the face that didn't honor their father's legacy.
@@bggsz4 I suppose that makes sense but Hespera used that thief analogy and it sorta made me think that they were unjustifiably mad at these kids. But good point.
This is the most honest review I've seen of these movies, esp the second one. How you felt is exactly how I did. It needed more time indeed.
The problem with the sequel is that Shazam suppose to have a matured personality and no one told him to act that way?
I really enjoyed both Shazam Movies despite that Fury of the Gods bombed at the Box Office. I really like that The Batman took the Spider-Man: Homecoming formula as a fresh start for rebooting Batman and I really want Battinson to get 2 trilogies like MCU Spider-Man. I’m mostly excited for Blue Beetle this year because it has Cobra Kai Actor Xolo Mariduena and I hope it exceeds its expectations and it doesn’t flop at the box office. Even if Blue Beetle does flop at the Box Office, I would still like it when the movie comes out.
The Batman is way better than those trash spiderman movies.
@@brucedorion6642 I respect your opinion. Batman and Spider-Man are also my favorite superheroes
Why did the thunderbolt at the beginning make me laugh 😂
My guy really used the Harry Potter 3 game music that’s used in the menu goated af
I am going to be honest: Shazam 2 deserved better than it got.
No it didnt.
I thought you liked Thor Ragnarok Eric?
Halfway through the video and I fully agree with your takes so far! Whilst I prefer the first film, FOTG is still a good film in my eyes.
I wanted to ask you if you've seen the recent Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire teaser and are you excited for that film/gonna make a VS on it?
What's bothering me about Shazam's hero group is that one of the female members isn't wearing a skirt, while the other one does. Shouldn't both female members not wear skirts in their superhero form, or wear skirts to diverse them from the male members?
Haven’t seen the movie but this seems like a very small thing tbh
Eric, I’d love to hear your in-depth thoughts on Man of Steel. Have u ever thought about making a Superman the movie (1978) vs Man of Steel versus video?
Both of the films are very good especially for being both superhero movies and from DC, don’t get me wrong DC has made and still our committing with their movies (some) and have elevated the rating of their movies, something marvel CAN do but doesn’t. Very excited what DC can do in the future, especially with James Gunn on the wheel
How have dc elevated their ratings.
I allways enjoy your vids eric keep it up
Fantastic video Eric, I have a suggestion for a versus video. It's a versus video between rise of the planet of the apes, dawn of the planet of the apes, and war for the planet of the apes, it would be good because a new film is coming out next year titled kingdom of the planet of the apes. Big fan and have a great day Eric
Honesty it’s kinda sad how people just write off Shazam 2 as just another generic super hero movie when really. It has a lot going for it that I don’t think people give respect towards or gives credit to.
Cause it is another generic superhero movie
Very good assessment. 1st Shazam was great because it kept it simple. 2nd Shazam got a bit lost in the complexity.
I never understand why studios rush the escalation.
Second Shazam should have introduced Black Adam, not as an antihero, but arch nemisis. Then have the third film as an all out showdown
Yo Eric, what are your thoughts on Puss In Boots 2 would love to hear thoughts
Really like your VS videos. Would love to see you do a VS video for Adventures in Babysitting. Haven't been able to watch the Disney remake - the trailer hurt my childhood. Only suggestion would be to make sure you watch the original, because apparently Disney censored the f*ck out of, "Don't f*ck with the babysitter" out of the original after acquiring the rights.
Nice video as always
Good vs video as usual! I think you should do shrek vs shrek 2 someday.
shazam 2 was so garbage. they joked around way to much it was way to hoakey pokey. it was so hard to take shazam serious I only kinda took him serious at the very end. it was way less serious. the guy that gave shazam his powers treated shazam like a complete joke. the foster kids felt more like a after thought. the villians were the only ones taking anything serious. if shazam 2 was way more serious and took shazam serious then I feel like this movie would be good. the first shazam is way better. I agree with everything you said about the rock it needed to be said it's facts.
Yo cool vid eric, video suggestion: Avatar one vs avatar 2
Will you be doing a QMR on Guardians Vol 3 (or maybe even a versus video of the three movies)?
2nd one wasn't bad but the 1st was way better overall
What did you think of Shazam in Justice League Unlimited ?
I didn't think the horror element of the first film worked and the villain sank the film for me. The horror elements just felt out of place and jarring for what's supposed to be a more upbeat film. As a result, I feel so torn on that film. The horror elements work better in the sequel because they blended with the tone much better, which makes me like the sequel better.
Thanks for not bashing on the sequel like you did for the remake of The Little Mermaid (even though I think the remake is better).
Nice as always
This video actually convinced me to go and watch Shazam 2, I skip that one after been so terribly dissapointing with recent Super Hero films (cof, cof Marvel Films Cof, Cof) and watching so many reviews bashing the film, but like you absolutely loved Shazam 1, seen that you also liked the sequel, make me realize I probably need to go watch that film..........sadly will be in home, the movie is long go from my locals theaters.
Hey man i really love ur videos im a youtuber but i dont make content like u but the thing is that i would love to make the videos that you do anyway hope u hav a good day take care
Love the Harry Potter video games soundtracks in the background
I feel like Shazam vs black widow will be a nice video since both of them are about adopted familys
Since Shazam 2 bombed at the box office, I doubt the character will be included in the DC reboot.
Shazam 2 suffered from backlash of DC fans after the ousting of Henry Cavil and the announcement of a reboot.
Also because of The Rock ego
@@alexbellon1892 That played a part, certainly but not as much as the above-mentioned factors.
Off topic, but I have some suggestions for versus videos
-Evil Dead(2013) Vs Evil Dead Rise
-Hereditary Vs Midsommar Vs Beau is Afraid
The second suggestion might be different than what u typically compare. Because those are arthouse A24 movies, and all three of those movies are directed by the same director. I would be interesting to see u cover some A24 films
9:18 I saw it with a group of friends and some grandma with her kid and grandkid were sitting next to us and the grandma looked away and yelled at the office scene 😂
I think it would be great if you make a versus video on kung fu panda movies
14:33 Couldn't have said it any better myself.
I loved both movies Eric
Please do Kung Fu Panda vs How To Train Your Dragon?
I loved the first film, but I HATED the second one, but I respect your opinion.
Shazam vs Spiderman homecoming
Kind of a whimper to end Shazam on.
I think we all can agree that shazam 2 was a dc version of the mcu movies because the humour in this movie takes all the emotional scenes feel corny . The villains in this movie cannot be taken serious at all and I think their motive has a plot holes cuz in the opening scene they just kill all the innocent people in the museum but later in the movie they tell us that they just wanted to restore their realm without any violence and turns out that they just need the apple and not the wand . The movie does not tell us that how the daughters of atlas came to earth and how the bridge in the opening scene broke . The editor just left us to imagine those things , what a piece of shit . when shazam died and was burried wonder women came out of nowhere to give life to shazam so why didn't she come to help shazam from the threats of the daughters? There's so many stupid plot holes in this movie which I'm tired of writing.
I highly recommend watching Blue Beetle. I loved Shazam 1 and liked 2 for the family dynamic, but I think BB might've just defeated both with theirs!
Sonic 1 vs Sonic 2 would be fun to see
4:20 I totally ❤️ the first Shazam, the 2nd Shazam was okay, but the villains, the daughters of Atlas, were very weak. Also, Shazam Fury of the Gods had weak plot points, however I do love the action. Too bad Zachary Levi won't play Shazam in future DC movies.
"I am not a fan of the MCU's comedy movies" I never would've guessed…
(P.S. that was sarcasm)
(P.P.S. I say that in the most loving way I love your content bro)
Shazam 2 is underrated. I think the first one is better written but the second one is more entertaining. Only thing I'd say abt the second one is that the plot moves a bit too fast at times I think.
I still prefer the first movie but I did actually enjoy Shazam 2. That being said, I would’ve liked to see more of Asher Angel as Billy. I like him as Billy Batson.
I respectfully disagree on one of your points: I think “I Need A Hero” was better used in Bullet Train than this movie.
Hey Eric! Can you make the last of us part 1 Vs the last of us part 2?
you should make ANH vs TFA someday
Lighthearted movies are fun and dandy, moreso than action-packed and intense movies. But we sure loved Shazam (2019) when we watched it weeks ago, I love superheroes and I am inspired by watching them, despite knowing I'm not like those brave individuals.
-James M
Wait eric Carter like the second shazam movie, l am shocked because I thought he was going to really dislike it
Its dc of course he will like it.
The new live action Peter Pan came out do a versus video with the animated version
Can you do transformers 1 vs 2
Tbh it's usually the older movies that are better instead of the new ones being better
I AGREE WITH YOU 100% ABOUT THE ROCK.!!!!.
Wait shazam is pg 13?
Honestly Shazam 2 was a big disappointment to me as it definitely felt a lot more generic, the villain’s motivations made no sense, Billy and Shazam feel like two different people that even Asher Angle agreed about that criticism, the family dynamic that made the first film special was rarely there and it had one of the worst death fake outs I have seen, still it’s better than lot of the recent MCU content but that really isn’t saying much.
Also have you seen Evil Dead Rise and if so what did you think and will you be doing a verse video with the 2013 remake?
You said its more generic. And the villian motivations doesnt make sense and billy and shazam are 2 different people so how it better than marvel recent films. I would rather watch doctor strange w,wakanda forever and love and thunder over this
Didn't you say liked Ragnarok's humor, in your Endgame video?
He also said that it did get bad at some points.
@@928studiosinc06 Yeah, he did say that, but he still thought Ragnarok worked for him.
@@kotm2021 Yes. But he’s not a huge fan of the jokes.
@@kotm2021 bro don't get me wrong but this youtuber is a toxic MCU hater because I mean every time he only talk about MCU use too much humour and give MCU hate for no reason man that is too much because MCU is a successful franchise does not mean if you give hate to that franchise your UA-cam channel will grow🤷
Avengers Age of Ultron isn't fully comedic I don't know what you're smoking they're lumping it into that category and Wandavision got quite dark also plus Ant-Man and The Wasp Quantumania got criticized for not being as comedic as the prior Ant-Man movies
Story - Shazam
Action - Shazam 2
Horror - Shazam
Villains - Shazam 2
The Acyor playing Dr Sivana did a GREAT job, however he reminded me of a knock off of Lex Luthor in that hes bald and is Jealous/Envious of Supermans power. Design wise hes very cliche, in that hes just another basically a copy/rip off of James Bond's Blofeld/Austin Powers Dr Evil. Call it a homage of you like but to me its just a repeat of what we had before minus the cat.
As for the character himself, on his own hes just basically a man, whos bitter and angry that Billy was chosen instead of him. As such he didnt seem like that much of a threat to me. The Sins on the other hand were cool but sadly they were reduced to being servants/henchmen and so we didn't get to see the true threat they could've been. Personally I woulda LOVED to have seen the 7 deadly sins betray Dr Sivana and have the sins run amock and see how their presence affects the world with the sins bringing out the worst in people and making them do bad.
Now as for the Daughters of Atlas. I liked that we were getting more of the lore and origin of Shazams Powers and I liked that the sisters weren't basic run of the mill cliched badguys but rather have more depth to them, and while I don't normally like it when writers try and have the villains as misunderstood so that you can see it from their POV, I think it worked in this sense and made sense. Afterall wouldnt you too be angry if a bunch of wizards stole your power and locked you away for centuries only to find out the power has been given away to a bunch of prebubesant teens? I would be pissed. Overall the Atlas Daughters with their army of mythical monsters seemed like a bigger threat which is why I gave the point to shazam 2
So while it comes to a draw, I have to give an extra point for the 1st movie as that overall just seemed funnier to me, and while the sequel did have some good jokes that worked, I didn't think they were as funny as the 1st.
As for issues
1. For the most part I didnt like the Shazamily(Shazam Family) other than Mary who seemed to be the only one other than Billy to take the hero business seriously. In the original we have Freddy who is selfish and wants to use Shazam for himself but atleast he helped shazam so it balanced out his personality. In this though we see how powers going to such a selfish and egotistical person can lead to in that hes become a showoff and wants to steal the limelight for himself and cares more about getting girls than he does about saving the day and using his powers for good.
Darla just seemed annoying and iverly cutesy and was basically a walking, talking promotional advert for skittles.
Choi didn't really do much. They had these doors but didnt really do or show anything with them.
Same with the Fat kid who was just there to be gay for the sake of LGBQT propaganda and representation, which wasn't so bad in the 1st as it was done subtly but here I felt it was overdone, and too heavy handed which made the jokes feel not as funny as they couldve.
All in all I agree that this film needed so be longer in order to properly flesh out and develop the characters and allow the story to flow better than all over the place.
As for Billies and Shazams difference in personalities, I didnt mind this as much as I don't know if Shazam ages like humans do and as so he may be forever the lil boy trapped in an grown mans body.
Eric: I’m not a fan of the mcu comedy movies, MrOKey: the guy who 99% doesn’t like comedy movies
@@courtlinsellers-sd6sc you’re right he does like some marvel films with comedy but it’s like when the jokes are a bit too immature, it’s like every single of it has ruined the experience and for some like the 4th Thor film has overdone with the jokes but not all marvel films are like that so he shouldn’t act like it ruin the experience but that’s fine I’m not saying he should change he’s mind because we all have our own opinions.
This may be a hard question, but who has been your favorite villain in all of the DCEU (this includes the movies and Peacemaker)?
Probably Steppenwolf or Darkseid. The bit we see of him at least.
Either those two, or Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad as he was the secondary villain.
@@EricCarter12 definitely interesting choices. I’d also say Peacemaker. Aside from him I’d definitely say Peacemaker’s father the White Dragon. For me the best thing you can do with a villain is make me hate them for how cruel they are and Peacemaker’s father was genuinely one of the most hateable characters I have seen in a while. Robert Patrick gave an equally amazing performance alongside the writing for him.
@@EricCarter12 I also would have said Ocean Master and Black Manta from Aquaman.
@@EricCarter12 WAIT- What about Zod from Man of Steel?
But I guess you are right in some movies
15:04 Do you still enjoy Black Adam?
We Need SHAZAM vs Black Adam movie
I like both Shazam movies, but I do agree that the first movie is a bit better than the second movie, but they are still entertaining and funny movies.
You wanting more of Fury of the gods is more then you can say for Eternals
I like both of them
Both Shazams are good. I don't get the hate for the second.
Will u be doing super Mario vs sonic
Yep.
Despite Dwayne’s short mindset I still love the black Adam movie it’s good
Unpopular opinion I like Fury of The Gods more. Wonder Woman's cameo was the bomb, more of the Shazamly together, better villains, higher stakes and the Wizard and foster parents got more involvement!
I prefer campy horror and fantastical dark and gritty
Honestly really enjoyed the first one didnt really enjoy this one it felt like I had seen it all before and that reasons for thi gs happening wearnt fully fleshed out also it didnt embrace its uniqueness enough
I enjoy both Shazam movies they are not perfect not infinity war or endgame level of hype but a good superhero movie like the good old days with the first x men and first Spider-Man film
Spiderman 3 vs super man 3
love this. shazam 2 gettimg the respect it deserves. disagree on the score tho
Spiderman 3 vs. Super man 3
Spiderman 3 vs. super man 3
Nah, Fury of the Gods was atrocious, weak action, MCU comedy copy and it overdid the same joke twice, Levi's miscast, movie didn't the charm the 1st one had. Glad that it bombed at BO like Black Adam.
No
Can’t believe he like it
First one here
Dang
I love both of these movies and unlike any of the marvel movies I actually laughed and all the jokes
What makes those jokes any different from the mcu stories.
@@mutalemwananshiku4098 they aren’t forced
@@RandomMackem3247 how are they not forced compared to marvel.
@@mutalemwananshiku4098 cause they are funny and not in every single scene
@@RandomMackem3247 whybare they funny unlile marvel jokes. Even in the marvel movies there are scenes that arent jokes. If this eric guy was honest even the marvel movies that are comedies have scenes that are played straight with no jokes but he is a moron
I been liking this guy content but i keep wondering if he just biased to dc or it just eric opinion
Yeah I know he is a toxic MCU hater he don't like anything about MCU he only likes to give hate to MCU from no reason because he thinks that he will get lots of views if he always say anything bad about MCU he things that his channel will grow if it gives hate to a successful franchise for no reason 🤷
@@aadilshekhi6049dont get me wrong theres things to criticise the mcu for but his mcu hate is absurd.
But @Eric Carter, there's nothing wrong with making jokes about cancer.
Ofcourse, there's something wrong. It's a god damn cancer 😡
Maybe, but being optimistic about it might help.
Sarcasm
to me shazam 2 is much better then the first one
shazam 8.5/10
shazam fury of the gods 4.5/10
First? :)
dude chill with the mcu hate you literally said joshstice league is better then avengers 1 😂 i hate to tell you but that’s factually wrong😂
He admitted he was wrong.
