my biggest problem with this so far seems to be... why are they just making people up for this film?
Captain Marvel's got tons of his own villains he could be fighting.
And goofy as it was they did setup Mr. Mind at the end of the first one.
then again Sivana from the first film was also pretty much an original creation and had little to nothing in common with the comic counterpart.

Yeah, see, that's what I don't get. The first film had set ups for TWO potential sequels, and they went with something completely different. And I thought the trailer looked great, but the premise feels like filler. Like, "Sorry, Rock won't let us use Black Adam, here's Helen Mirren."

Only tangentially related, I'm currently working through Chuck. Even knowing it's Zachary Levi, I'm having trouble seeing that it's the same guy.

I have to say that reading through the last page is a trip thanks to all of the release date shuffling that happened.
I enjoyed the first movie but this trailer isn't really doing it for me. I liked the first movie because it had more heart and less reliance on the big VFX spectacular battle scenes that most comic book movies have. Made it stand out a little.

The villains being 'all originals' is a major red flag for me. Mister Mind was right there in the first one.
Not to mention everyone just looks OLD.

Eh.
I liked the first one well enough, but I despise the Captain Planet and the Planeteers version of the Shazam family we get now.
It'll be something I'll catch on streaming at some point, but not a cinema trip for me.

I'm sorry Helen Mirren, but you are not as hot as Cate Blanchett in that Thor movie. Also, is Michelle Borth not is this one? Am disappoint.

Star of the movie trying REAL hard to move the needle from “meh” to “nah” on Twitter. When I tell you I did not expect to wake up to Zachary Levi getting dragged this morning. Man really said "I know my movie is DOA, and that trailer certainly did no favors, so lemme just go ahead and make things worse".

Remember how Zach was going on that he was one of the few characters they weren’t going to recast during the Gunn era? Well, either he just took care of that himself or he got word that they were recasting him and he’s in burn it down mode.

You know, Black Adam wasn't great, but Rock avoiding doing a Shazam movie doesn't seem like the worst decision ever

There are non anti-vaxx reasons to hate Phizer. Are we sure that Levi doesn't hate Phizer for the right reasons? I realize the account he was quote tweeting is an anti-vax account but still, I'm open to the possibility.

If he had better reasons he wouldn’t need to hoist up an article about a fine from 2009 as his smoking gun. It isn’t like Pfizer exactly hides what dicks they are. >_>

"When someone tells you who they are, believe them" applies more to corpos than humans. They don't change. Old shit is totally valid. I'm pretty sure John Oliver brought up the same shit about them at one point lol. But everyone knows he's left side of liberal so they know its for the right reasons. I feel like people with the correct opinion on vaccines have started to knee jerk to defending a large corporation because of the existence of anti-vaxxers and I think that's actually a bad impulse because Phizer is a f***ing evil ass company. Its just wrong to say their vaccines don't work. I also feel like there's a bit of political tribalism at play there. (I've been attacked before on Reddit for making valid criticism of Fauci that had nothing to do with vaccines (or masks, or social distancing, or anything Covid related at all lmao) because people see him as a hero.) I'm personally willing to wait and see if Levi's giving away the game and is another Leticia Wright or if he hates Phizer for totally legitimate reasons. And that isn't fan bias because I've seen neither Shazam or Chuck in my life.

This tweet has caused other things from Levi’s past(including an absolute yikes take of his regarding white privilege) to be cycled back to front of the queue and, yeah dude’s looking just super whack in general, regardless his stance on vaccinations may be.

Its like hating the Soviet Union so much that you quote Hitler when giving reasons for why.
