Shazam & Black Adam's Origin - Complete Story | Comicstorian
• Shazam & Black Adam's ...
Comicstorian
/ comicstorian
Basically the film was as accurate as the origin. The difference here is that Dr. Savana does what Black Adam does in the film. Originally The Rock was supposed to be in Shazam but the studio was afraid that The Rock would outshine Zachary Levi in the film so they decided to film Shazam and Black Adam separately. It was confirmed that Black Adam would release before a Shazam sequal takes place.
They were smart to not cast Rock kn this movie then, his will really outshine the Protagonist.
@@baldwinivofjerusalem47 according to the The Rock, the original idea was the have "two origin" stories in the Shazam film about both Black Adam and Shazam but then he along with the writers and studios decided that it was not a good idea to have 2 origin stories about 2 separate characters in 1 film so they decided to separate them and focus on 1 character individually. Rock confirmed that Black Adam will start production next spring so I'm looking forward to see what Rock brings to the table. Expect the budget to be a lot higher too.
Honestly it was probably for the best. The rock would outshine anyone. And it was too many things at once for a single movie. I am really looking forward to the black adam movie.
That was smart...Zach would’ve had no on screen presence compared to Dwayne.
@@tecxidor92590 i see why, if we got 2 separate origins in 1 film it would be very rushed. Plus im really looking forward to a black adam film now
Who else is here after watching the movie?
I am certainly surprised yet delighted that the movie had scenes that really played out close to these comic panels in this video.
4:10 Mister Mind?
Tim L Yes
I'm here after watching the movie. shazam! is now my favorite dc movie.
But after seeing the movie.. Erm.. No signs of black adam.. Maybe not yet.. Maybe The Rock didnt wanna play as black adam
Sometimes it's alright to stray away from the comics. Like when Tobey Maguire played Spider-Man and he could shoot webs from his arms naturally instead of having to invent some sort of synthetic webbing and web shooters.
Originally, the wizard's name was "Shazam" and the superheroes name was "Captain Marvel. However, this representation appears to be from a re-telling of the origin story, released in 2014.
Shazam was the original Captain Marvel Actually. But because Old CM Character was not under DC comics when it was created, DC filed plagiarism complaint against its creator because the then Captain Marvel shares similar characteristic with Superman. The case took years before it was resolved in 1980's. But during the case, the predecessor Company of Marvel Comics planned to create a new superhero character. Since, the name Captain Marvel was not patented, they took it and named it to their new superhero. When the conflict between the Old CM creator and DC was resolved and instead the character was bought by DC as an agreement, they cannot use anymore the name Captain Marvel since it was used by Marvel already. So they decide to named it Shazam.
@@anglaruan6728
Marvel pulled a sneaky on them, smh.
@@anglaruan6728 basically marvel are stealing bastards
Always thought Shazam was a better name anyway but yeah I'm pretty sure he was Captain Marvel in the Mortal Kombat vs Dc universe game
@@anglaruan6728 I've heard they can still call him Captain Marvel in the comics, just not on the covers, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Still, it's such a shame that they had to change his name.
The energy behind the narration
that's what im saying 😂👏👏👏
shazam
Jasson Quill say it with your chest.
SHAZAM!!!
Nik Waggoner Bruh this got my cracking up lmaooo
Facts
The way Benny said 'TWENTY WHOLE DOLLARS!' Made me crack up.
The Shazam movie did a really decent job staying true to the comics
Props for them doing thier research for they have have everything in point!
Doctor Sivana is basically black Adam in the movie because they cut black adam because of the making of the new movie we’re the rock has the role
@@peel-socks2796 Yeah, they did that because they didn't want The Rock being shining out the main protagonists
Except for the name of the character of course. "Shazam" was the original "Captain Marvel", before Marvel comics even had the Kree captain Mar Vell take on that name.
Ruined the movie wit the jokes tho and Billy’s character but
your story telling skills are on point...greatstuff
Absolutely on point
Yeah
I love this narrator, full of energy while narrating
That's exactly what I'm saying, so much passion in his voice, I could listen to the narrator all day.
I was thinking the same thing.
Just watched this movie last night and I’m amazed. Highly recommended 9,5/10
Divo Galindra dude 20/10
8.9/10
It sucked ass
James Harden how
Divo Galindra the movie sucked. It didn’t follow the comics at all.
Remember the time when he was called Captain Marvel?
+Paul Francis Goneda Yes indeed. I fact, I consider this new "Shazam" a completely different character.
Well it was dc fault they killed Shazam,and captain marvel came 5 years before
+Paul Francis Goneda
I do. I will NEVER EVER call him anything but Captain Marvel.
I was introduced to him through the 40's comics my father had and that is how I know CAPTAIN MARVEL.
Carol Danvers is nor ever will be the true Captain Marvel.
Kako Mohammed
Nope, she will never be the true Captain Marvel.
Kako Mohammed
DC didn't own Captain Marvel at first. They didn't buy him till later.
KAZAAM! ... turns into Shaq*
Oops..i meant SHAZAM!!!
😂😂😂😂 this should of gotten more likes
😂😂😂😂😂
ya don now!
😂😂😂😂
@@indridcold72 pa pa p a pa pa moving yo cornflakes
Dude your narration is just amazing.
Agreed
Ayyyyyyyy the 150 like
Yess
This is actually a really good story. Underrated superhero for sure
Man the way you narrated it all.. Made me emotional! What a story! This made me want to buy comics and read them! :)
Oh no I didn’t know black Adams story was like that
That guy deserves to die
haha thats the new Black Adams from the new comics, the original was a badass this one is just more evil.
@@Im2k0o7 i would prefer the other one tbh.
@@Im2k0o7 not shocked.
@Young_ Marley he's lame
Question:
Black Adam aged rapidly because the Shazam human form (champions regalure mortal body.) ages as normal no matter what. The Shazam body never ages in that form no matter how long(creating the immortality loop-hole) but when reverting back to the mortal body, the mortal body will be as it was when it Shazamed but then soon after age to match the amount of time it was in Shazam for(2 years as Shazam, turn back, you are 15 but then become 17).
Did I get that right?
basically while in the deity form your age is buffering
almost u come as the age you went in the the form but when u revert back to human form you age rapidly to ur true age
I would say so, yes. If Billy turned into Captain Marvel at 15, and didn't turn back until he was 17, his mortal body likely would've aged as well. The question is if he would die of hunger/thirst, since his mortal body hadn't been eating or drinking. However, his godly form remains ageless.
You are correct. As long as you are Shazam/Black Adam, then you will always be a super powered being. Only when you say the word will you become normal but you will age rapidly.
This is the story the Shazam movie should do
Sam Birmingham would be perfect tbh. no stupid nonsense like bvs
+akSTRIXWarrior 117 i am both agree with you, and extremely offended
That would be an awesome movie, but they should tone down Billy's dickishness.
While most TRUE comic fans wouldn't mind, most casuals would bitch
Also the ending would kill off Black Adam
Rest in peace bud. Thank you for the stories.
u will make one good father with that narration ... subscribed
I love Shazam/Billy I can't wait for the shazam movie, it's my most anticipated of the films. He's always so underrated never getting his shot, hopefully after the movie that comes out people again realize he's super awesome. Maybe it could go back to the time when he sold more comics than DC's posterboy Superman.... hopefully.
DC'S poster boy isn't superman is batman fyi. and no shazam is not getting his movie neither Martian manhunter neither is superman's sequel because the next DC movie will be suicide squad and then another batman trilogy with Ben affleck. I can't wait for a shazam and Martian manhunter movie.
carlos vega Don't think you heard the news but yes Shazam is getting a solo film with The Rock as Black Adam.... And Superman has been DC's posterboy since his conception in like 1938.
Klyptic superman is not DC posterboy. He is not the one getting 10000 movies and trilogies. And supes is not the one getting his origin story stuffed into every story. And supes has been dumbed down and given new weaknesses like magic while other superheroes get power buffs like wonder woman and aquaman or their weaknesses removed like green lanterns who is not weak to yellow light. Or Martian manhunter who is no longer weak to fire. And batman gets punched by the riddler or two face and all of a sudden via plot armor he is dodging omega beams and wrestling darkseid cause he is the Mary sue of DC.
carlos vega Superman is as weak to magic as any other non-magic superhero. Stop bending the facts just to fit your own point. And if you don't even know stuff as simple as the fact that Shazam is getting a movie, stop pretending you know anything at all.
Your anticipation has come to a rest young one. The movie will be released soon, as a result I grant you access to the trailer of the film SHAZAM. ua-cam.com/video/go6GEIrcvFY/v-deo.html.
Sincerely,
The Wizard
After recently watching the Shazam trailer and then this vid.. This is my favorite and true Captain Marvel!
I like your profile photo
I thought this was Pre-Flashpoint Captain Marvel.. damn.. still good story
Brennan Chamberlain i think flash point had 5 kids that turn into one
Christopher Matos I think before crisis on ifinite earths Billy had split the power between himself and his foster brothers and sister as well as an older man. Though that story I'm thinking of could have been a what if or whatever DC called them.
Nah this is post Flashpoint aka New 52/Rebirth
Christopher Matos That’s kinda like the god ritual (dragonball super) except they all go into one body
You are a great story teller
Came here to pay my respects to Ben. This was the video I watched years back that got me to love Shazam.
Thanks for all you did dude
Same
so real
Who else is here from the Shazam trailer
(Harvey Hooke - Get Him Hooked!) Sup
Harvey Hooke - Get Him Hooked! Shazam! Is gonna BOMB. Just watch. 😂
Aquaman might be good tho
agreed
moi
yo, is here bro, as you wished
lol this video is literally the movie, just watched it yesterday
Yea, it's based on the comic. Very accurate right?
Yes ruin it for all of us.
nik ariff but still no black Adam
@@kianwhittle yeah they replaced it with dr sivana
@@kianwhittle They will probably make another movie of Shazam! with Adam as the villain played by The Rock.
Wow the movie is heavily base on the new 52 comics
This is a surprise to you? If you recall, Henry Cavill's Superman wears his underwear on the inside.
@@Silverwind87 Plot and costume are not the same thing
The "SHAZAMILY"
The Shazamily indeed
Cthamiracle boy do i have some news for you
Sounds like a sitcom
The SHAZAMILY is right
Cthamiracle
If Black Adam and Marvel already have the powers of Shazam, does that mean Shazam's powers are being shared by both of them and therefore it's only half as strong as it could be?
thats a VERY good question
Arvin Rao penis
Arvin Rao no because different gods power each
BlingBlangBlam why?
Shazam's power performed mitosis... Jk 😅
Tony the tiger
Pikachu Tawny
WAIT DONT WOOSH, NOW I GET IT
Perry the platypus
Pikachu *Tawny
Pikachu I need some frosted flakes
Eating Frosted Flakes
I still call him Captain Marvel.
Gary Cleveland me too
If the girl is Mary Marvel then I guess it's cool
I always will
Black Hyper-Patriot no
DC Captain Marvel is the TRUE and ONLY Captain Marvel
I wonder if black Adam would've been able to create... the Adams family? get it? anyone? eh I probably could've done better
That was perfect 😂😭🙌🏾
Jenna Vandervort Thanks!
+A Gay Has No Name Cool, it's always nice to bring a smile to people's faces!
Lmao
Din't understand it. Sorry :P
Whose here from the black Adam trailer?
Rock of Eternity? I AM THE ROCK OF ETERNITY

Yo
Wow why didnt you whate till the movie to come out it wouldn't be better bra
Merry Christmas!
+Comicstorian merry christmas
Merry Christmas thanks for the vid
Merry Christmas thanks for the vid
love the magical realms of the DC universe!

Damn, black adam’s origin is more sad, I mean the man literally kill his own nephew
evil
Was that sad? That was evil.
I freaking love the way he narrated the story it gave me flashbacks about the movie that I’ve watched yesterday.. maybe more like PTSD..
JOHN CE........I mean SHAZAM!!!!
lol
Harish Rabbani Yeah SHAZAM!! So much emotion...
Harish Rabbani nice save
*PROCEEDS BECOME JOHN CENA*
Harish Rabbani AND HIS CATCHPHRASE IS SHAZAM!
Shazam 2019 movie in a nutshell 😂😂
But no black adam.
they’re saving it for a sequel
dr. sivana is a good villain tho
That's true
the movie is based on the comic...
Vin Diesal voice: "its all about the family"
Can you see the future?
HOLY SHIT DUDE U CAN SEE THE FUTURE HOLY SHIT
WTF can you see the future
You all saying "uh oh future", the vin diesel family meme is a meme for a reason...
Just got home from watching the movie, amazing how many people still dont know about mid and post credit scenes...
Rest in peace man. Thanks for the great content.
Wait so, uh, why did Black Adam suddenly decide to turn back to his normal form? Nothing really prompted him to do so, he just kinda did it....
They were gonna have a normal respected fight
Nathan Quach Why? And how did you come to that conclusion?
+LordUzaki dde,did you not watch the video?it pretty obvious he was going to have a normal fight.
+Paul Patriot What are you talking about?Billy made him regret killing his nephew and after the short time he did regret it he died.
+LordUzaki One thing I hate about this channel, they dont verbatim read the whole comic.
Billy kinda tricked Black Adam into turning back , by mentioning the whole dead nephew thingy.
Shazam draws his powers from Greek Gods while Black Adam draws his from Egyptian Gods. Aside from Shazam and Black Adam, are there others just like them or similar?
ooo I hope there's a norse version
Han I believe there's more people with shazam's powers
Doctor fate is the host of a god. And doctor strange draws his powers from several magic gods
@@justas423 don't forget the juggernaut
Punch Down King Marvel can’t do anything if DC wanted to use Nordic gods. They do not own the myths, only the versions of the characters they have produced. Unless DC introduced a Thor who could only lift the hammer based on worthiness, Marvel could legally do nothing if DC made a major Thor character.
this is my first vid i've ever watched from this channel, thanks Ben.
I was on thrill from start to finish.. insane narration.. you got a new subscriber
So Shazam is basically immortal well partiality because take black Adam for instance he didn't go back to his former form and he still alive until he said Shazam so if the kid said Shazam and stays in that for he is immortal
MineGamer He's not immortal
Didn't you see him bleeding from Black Adam's attack while in Shazam form? If he can bleed then he can also die. Meaning, NO - he is not immortal.
@Bruce Wayne Well, apparently to dictionary.com, immortal means never dying. So, you're wrong here.
The word you are looking for is "evergreen" I think. In terms of anything non plant based, this means that you don't age
@@phangz8394 Deadpool can bleed but can't die
great voice over man .. I listen to a ton of audible books and I rather enjoyed listening to you. Thanks for bringing it to life.
Watched the movie yesterday. I totally recommend it! 10/10
Man, I wanted to see Francesca in the movie, she is my favourite character, haha.
the Shazam family, the shazamily
Wow..you have passion describing these stories.. a quality rarely seen nowadays.... Kudos!!!!
the narration makes the story so much better. bloody loved it my guy
He’s like an old person he’s really good at telling stories
"Captain Hypocrite" Hmmm, he becomes a hero because he's running away after trying to steal a car. Then as a "hero", he beats up a guy for trying to steal a car.
Great video, and makes me want to see the movie again.
He wasn’t trying to steal the car, he was trying to hotwire it so that the car would go on its own.
I was interested in the story of “Shazam” but your voice... that was the most epic storytelling ever. I applaud you, sir 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Rather than being based of the comic the movie is basically just a live action of the comic and I’m okay with that
no wonder this outsell superman along time ago... he has something that superman doesnt have.. :)
Black Sun he has magic
No superman is a man and shazam is a kid
A reason to be a hero he was more like spiderman orphan , kid , insane backstory and hope

12:31 Go go shazam rangers
Lol I didn't notice that they have the coulers of the rangers
Shazam movie is a masterpiece of DCEU.
*is a masterpiece of Fawcett Comics.
man you're really good at telling stories
12:30 GET HIM!
lol I hope that scene will happen in the movie
How did you send this 2 years ago?
Old school captain marvel was something to believe that humanity was inherently good. Also superman beats Shazam not because of his power but because of his crazy intelligence.
Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel!
I loved this Storylines. Taught me so many things.
I love how billy beats up the bully’s when he’s like half there size😂 I guess size doesn’t matter when a wizard chooses you gives you powers than dies in-front of you
I love your emotional storytelling.
Actually, Billy's hero self is called Captain Marvel and Shazam is the name of the Wizard who gave Billy is his powers.
Wow I’m just seeing this now after seeing the movie. They took a lot of stuff from this story, and good on the filmmakers for doing so! They changed some stuff here and there, but it’s pretty faithful. Loved the movie so much!!
Asher angel looks a lot like the Billy in the comics
I think I just watched the comic that's coming out in 2019.
You really skipped over how Adam killed his nephew.
How did he kill him?
The Everything King Snapped his neck. Basically they were going to share the power so when the both said 'Shazam!' he killed him before the lightning came down so he would be the sole owner of the power.
+Marvin 777
Imagine if they went with this storyline for the upcoming Shazam movie. That'd be a dark ass scene, seeing the Rock twisting and breaking the neck of a kid.
+Lukeiru
yes and it would be awesome AF for story telling.
Marvin 777 They don't show it in the graphic novel
I absolutely love how you narrated the stories
8:17 you picked the wrong -person to fight with- house fool
So I'm the only one watching this before I see Black Adam?
Yup you are the only person on this planet that is watching this before black adam
and then there were 2
No… I’m literally doing the same @ this very moment
Nope me too
this guy is very animated! loves how he reads the story!
thats one of the best , damn that emotion it creates , thats what motivation to us and a heros journey is , SHAZAM
*releases live action superhero/super villain movie*

this was so exciting i felt like i was watching a movie, your voice and the music i was genuilly so excited at the end of the video. thank you bro
Watched the movie after a date it was great
Man,except for black adam the movie was spot on
Roddy Rod black Adam was not in movie
That what he said
@@pmel9912 he thought that he thought that dr sivana is black adam
R no he’s just saying black Adam wasn’t in it so it wasn’t as good
@@benhojnoski8643 oh i thought that he thought that he thought that dr sivana was black adam
The swag behind the energy when Shazam tells the Shazam family "Get him"....
"The Shazam family" The Shazamily!
Shazam is literally the 'Awaken my masters!' Jojo meme.....
Billy batson: Awaken, Shazam!
Shazam: *AY, AY, AYYYYYYYYYY!*
This was amazingly told! Thank you, sir.
Never I found this very good story like you do! T.q man.
LOVE THE WAY YOU DELIVERED THE STORY 😍😍😍
Just incase no one’s said it, thank you bro, this channels amazing.
I'm not into comics but I wanted to know how Shazam and Black Adam correlated now that the Black Adam trailer is out and I gotta say that this narrator was outstanding. I felt so invested lol I might go watch Shazam before the Black Adam movie comes out
Have you finally watched it to prepare yourself for Black Adam?
Similar to the movie origin, yet still different
It’s an adaptation, there has to be SOME changes.
Well done... your narration was exceptional ‼️
I really love Shazam and I'm just waiting for the movie hopefully it still happens in 2019 and doesn't get pushed back. Also for that the movie is awesome .
Miguel Valderrama the trailer is out :)
Sigh, have a love-hate relationship with the post New 52 origin story. Made him a delinquent typical child as most of us and current children grow up as but still mean well deep down. Very relatable. Yet, the pre New 52 and even pre Crisis orign stories were much more inspiring. Really explored a child growing up in the projects of Fawcett City (comparable to Detroit) still being pure of heart, fed the homeless bread, stood up for the sex workers on his block during acts of domestic violence, never stole... (Superman/Shazam DC showcase is a perfect example) The idea that good can still exist in shitty conditions meant a lot to me. Didn't like the idea where the Wizard randomly picked citizens of the Earth and 'test' them of their good.
I never knew how accurate to the comics the movie was
if they do the movie correctly it would be fucking epic
Vizual Mastermind I agree. I have hope with David sandberg and zachary levi
what a lovely, sad, awesome story!
😭 this is beautiful man!!
i've already watch the movie them watch this video.
such a very very major spoiler Lol
What happens when he grows up? A man transforming into another man?
He transforms into an old man.
I uses it will make him a certain age, lik 27 even when he's old
+Kfoglarsson Well, a man transforming into Shazam
Yep
Well actually I believe when he grows up he just looks like Shazam does but with out the costume
This is the first video I have watched of yours. The way you tell the story with so much energy its amazing and very entertaining. Great job my dude
