And they were hoping Black Adam would kickstart the DCEU after some misses. That didn't happen. I liked Fury of the Gods, I thought it was fun. The box office was definitely not helped by WB basically saying "This movie means nothing going forward, Shazam doesn't factor into any plans." which is weird to me ... because like you can still see a movie and enjoy it for being a movie... even if it's not some major building stone to something else later....
You can, but those movies never fail to leave sequel hooks, and a sequel hook with a near 100% guarantee of no sequel is just deflating.

Right? "You can't use the JSA here." "Yeah we can, you aren't even in this movie" haha To be fair WB is infamous for tripping over their own dick when it comes to letting their own damn properties using certain characters. Like the totally headass thing of being extra strict on using certain Batman characters in the cartoons because they were “saving” them for the live action movies. Edit: And it is/was even worse for the live action shows because at the time they basically couldn’t use *anyone* tied to Batman. Even remotely tertiary characters to the Bat-World like Deathstroke(he’s fought Batman directly before and is Robin’s main foe via the Teen Titans, so he’s in the Bat-Orbit) managing to pry themselves free to be used in the CW shows was seen as a huge deal during this era. It’s still a thing to this day with the CW’s Gotham Knights being stuck with a made up OC instead of an actual Robin and other non-major Batman sidekicks.

This thing is struggling like hell to hit 60 mil US, or 140 mil worldwide.
Reviews were mediocre, not terrible, but man, people just did not care. It's making Black Adam look good in comparison, and we all know what mess that film ended up as.

I've seen the full thing. It's fun, but is completely unnecessary, like a filler episode of a mid CW show.

Did Levi make a Tik Tok begging people not to see Super Mario this weekend?

I had a good time with the movie. Felt some feels, laughed some laughs and overall enjoyed myself. It's a shame the movie isn't doing better.
That said, I felt Lucy Liu's performance was underwhelming and a bit wooden.
I also have a question, but I'll hold off on that until I can do spoilers.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} So if the Wizard took the powers from all the gods and sealed them off, how did Ares still have his powers? Also, Wonder Woman is a god in the movies? Is she a god in the comics as well? I know her birth was unorthodox and involved a god.

This is not entirely consistent, but not totally out of nowhere, either.

Can we PLEASE get a Black Adam 2 already? Let's not and say we didn't. Tell Dwayne he can be in Shazam 3 or nothing.

The fact that Morbius the walking meme did better is sad. The movie wasn't a masterpiece, but it was an alright popcorn flick.

This is all somehow Lucy Liu's fault isn't it?

Does feel like it’s mostly a casualty of how blatantly done with the DCEU they’ve been for awhile. It’s not a stellar movie but it’s a decent time killer, not at all sub-Morbius.
