DC doesn't really need Superman since they got Captain Marvel

[YOGEBEAR09]

Sick of these comic book movies and discussions.

Well beat it nikka ain't nobody ask you for your input.

Why ain't they use that in the movie title then? DC knows why...

Promoting your rival is an automatic L.

They cant Marvel got the rights to the name

Yea but how long ago was that ? How many times has he been rebooted with no success? How many years has Superman been iconic and the face of DC? And hes tryna say Superman is irrelevant because Shazam had a show over 40 years ago that few even remember and is just now getting his first decent movie. His whole take is garbage

Bu bu Shazam was bigger in 1930

I know breh. Just call him shazam it would have been less people confused in here.

They made the movie to capitalize off the TV show from 40 years ago that nobody even remembers

Shazam wasnt originally a DC character. He was bought by the company and put on the back burner for the most part because superman is basically the mascot of DC. In a fight between the two, superman would only win because hes an adult with years of fighting experience. If someone like Green Arrow or a 18 year old Robin got those powers, superman would get washed since shazam's powers are rooted in magic which is one of the only things superman is weak against.

If DC finally got its act together, an on screen battle between the two would be top 10 status with superman getting the S on his chest changed to an L

You do realize Thanos is basically Darkseid and we've all seen Supes struggle to whoop his ass. Darkseid got the whole League shook

Thanos is nowhere near as thorough as Darkseid. Darkseid don’t need a glove bro. Superman would oneshot Thanos.

by who's standards, rhap

By everyone's standards. Wonder Woman's only famous enemy is Cheetah, Black Panthers is #free Killmonger, Iron Man is the Mandarin and Captain Marvel has Black Adam.

But he's the OG Captain Marvel. Everyone knows this

Shazam was just as popular as Linda Carters Wonder Woman, Adam Wests Batman and Lou Ferrigno as Hulk.

Problem is everybody wants to make him this Jesus allegory that can’t connect with nobody which is ass. The DCAU and Reeves movies proved that Superman can do well in other media.

Just make him that big blue Boy Scout and parallel to Batman. A Thor ragnorok style Superman movie would do gangbusters.

Yea and nobody is making movies to capitalize off those TV shows they are using them from the comics. Especially not a movie such as Shazam which is highly marketed toward kids who have no clue about the show and not the people who are probably 45 plus who were alive to watch and rember the show

SUpes and Shazam are completely different.
It makes no sense to say they don't need the cornerstone.
