      Shazam takes place in the real world more than any MCU title, that's for sure, except maybe Jessica Joneshttps://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1372698245927989248 …

      I still think Shazam is probably the best DC movie so far? the low stakes help a lot. I thought Aquaman was a ridiculous mess and I can't get behind a Wonder Woman movie which cares about female friendships as little as the first one did (or the second one for that matter.)

      I dunno I'm still mad that movie was so slept on It was such a good combination of different subgenres (gritty real life foster kid drama, surreal SCP wiki style horror, goofy Kick-Ass-style deconstructive superhero farce) in one relatively short movie

      And it all feels like one movie despite the wildly differing tones of the scene with Billy finding his mom, the scene with Billy and Freddie testing his powers, the scenes with Dr Sivana The mood whiplash of Billy suddenly realizing "Wait, you're a bad guy" was so good

      It was really well done. This movie really captured the "this comic is for the kids" vibe. Kid-centered presentation, still treated its audience like adults.

      Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse is better at this (because it's amazing), but Shazam is probably second in post-2000 superhero movies in this category, ahead of Ant-Man, the rest of the MCU with Wonder Woman in there up high, and then everything else DC.

      They had a difficult job to do to basically shed any trace of the Snyderverse tone to land on something that makes sense for Shazam as a literal child's wish fulfillment fantasy But they had to because the character can't survive grim and gritty

      Well, it kind of can, if you really want to go full Alan Moore Miracleman (dear WB: do not do this)

          Back to the original point: there's nothing wrong with more than 6% of superhero movies being basically children's wish fulfillment movies. Everybody that actually collected comics in the 80s had goofy books to go with the ones they collected as obsessed "serious" fans.
