Me sef I'm brushing up on some storylines I haven't read before the show.

I've already seen some scenes in the comics in the teaser trailers. Check out "Preludes and Nocturnes".

For those wondering why TF Shazam has a sequel and yet no MOS.

SMUAG:


please, stop posting all this gibberish...
The bottom line is, MoS made a profit and it has the potential to do great numbers with a sequel compared to Shazam.
It has been 9yrs now, but people keep talking about it like it was released 2yrs ago, also, the blueprints of MoS are being replicated by other projects constantly and I can't say the same for Shazam.
Not all great movie needs to do huge numbers in their first movie, Nolan's Batman trilogy was a typical example.

Which blueprints?
Lol, isn't it ironic, from your statement "not all great movie needs to do huge numbers in their first movie". Yet, you're quick to claim Shazam was a flop even tho it made more money than your dear MOS. A superhero icon known the world over.
Make it make sense.

Shazam has a sequel and a spin off of a major character player in Black Adam, also with multiple appearance or crossover potential. I can't say the same for MOS.

Bro, I don talk tire.

The fact that Warner Bros failed to greenlight the sequel to MoS2 is something I can't forgive.

Thank God you mentioned Nolan's trilogy: a lot of people seem to forget that the box office returns for Batman Begins was mediocre (373 million on a budget of 150 mill), yet they went ahead with a sequel.

See ordinary The Batman that came out yesterday: a sequel was announced before it finished its run and it didn't do too fantastic at the B.O but for nine years, they've dragging their feet for MoS2.

Yes that film had its faults, but they were things that could be corrected with better writing coupled with Cavill's performance as a fantastic Clark Kent.

The fact that it's still on people's lips is an attestation to how memorable it was and themes from it have been copied by other films and TV series in Hollywood.

I can't just forgive WB: Bleep them and their other projects.

Gone are the days I'll use my money to support them in the cinemas: I'd rather wait till it's on the high seas and treat them like other flicks.

They broke my heart. Seriously.

SMUAG:


If you even watch movies, series or animation at all then I don't need to mention any.
Yes, Shazam got a sequel before MoS because guys running WB (before now) were full of MCU wannabe and nothing more. The same way they were trying to shove the unnecessary new Suicide Squad and its numerous spin-offs to mention down our throats.
Whether you admit it or not, Shazam box office numbers was a disaster for any cbm released 2yrs ago...
Mind you, Shazam is also a very popular character with adult audience....
For the record, Black Adam is never a spin-off of Shazam. If think so, then any movie that either introduces another character in its movie can be said to be a spin-off from the first movie right. Black Adam has been in the work for more than 10yrs now (if am correct), way before Shazam.

Kaycee7:
Rephrase this. Lemme understand what you're trying to say here.

SMUAG:


Black Adam is not a spin-off, simple. It has been on the work for a very long time now, even before Shazam.

Kaycee7:
Length of development time does not determine whether something is a spin-off or not. Indeed, a movie has been pushed for a long time. But this final result we're getting is a spin-off of the 2019 Shazam movie. That's where the development settled after all these years.

GloriousGbola:


the only reason there is a black adam movie is because shazam was a success

SMUAG:


Oga, is there anywhere that the director even WB execs called it a spin-off aside the Wikipedia write-up..... Show me then I will rest my case.
From you guys' point, then all movies after MoS, that's movies that tye into MoS are spin-offs of it. Cause MoS literally birthed this universe.
It's a standalone movie that connects with the entire DC Universe.

Kaycee7:
Apart from BvS, which is a sequel, which other movie(s) ties into MoS?

If you see a prequel or sequel, do you need the director or studio to spell it out for you? If you don't understand the meaning of spin-off, ask for explanation or use Google to understand better.

SMUAG:


Oga, I still stand on my point, show me where the director or even WB called it a spin-off then I will rest my case.
You perfectly know what is spin-off so explain to me, am waiting...

Kaycee7:


In media, a spin-off is a radio program, television program, film, video game or any narrative work, derived from already existing works that focus on more details and different aspects from the original work (e.g. particular topics, characters or events).

If you dey wait for where director or studio said before you rest your case, no rest am. Carry am for head like gele.

Raalsalghul:


You've always been biased against MoS so I'm not surprised by your comment.

SMUAG:

So is it not the same thing that BvS was a work that focus on more details and different aspects from the original work too.
Black Adam and Shazam sharing similar and identical stories from one universe or comic do not mean it is a spin-off. I bet if Black Adam was released first we wouldn't be hearing this thing of Shazam being spin-off.
If it's a spin-off, by now we would have heard it countless times from WB and the director but they have not...

abduleez1:


Lmao... Shazam is a very popular character? What pipe you smoking bruh. Shazam ain't popular. Maybe in the golden age of comics in the 50s when it outsold Superman comics. Not now. Any adult or older audience you talking about who knows the popularity of Shazam would be dead by now if they not even in Old people's Homes. So that popularity talk na big CAP.

If you want to consider Shazam a flop then BVS would be an epic flop based on its scope and expectations. So it goes both ways bruh.

SMUAG:


Oga, maybe you dey take gbana iswear...
I will still repeat, it's ridiculously stupid for cbm movie to do that number this period and someone will seat somewhere and says it did well or it was a success..lol. that's rubbish...
I said Shazam is popular with the adult audience.

Xavier5:


That moment when someone wants to win an argument by all means but they end up sounding ridiculous. It's not about winning an argument, it's about making sense.

* Facts: Black Adam is the spin off of Shazam just like Peacemaker is to TSS.
A spin off is a film that branches out from an existing film or franchise and has connections to it.
Black Adam was originally meant to be in Shazam but the studio decided that he should have his own movie but not without referencing him in Shazam.
Aside that, Black Adam is scheduled as the nemesis of Shazam in the DCEU which means he stems out of Shazam. A movie based on the villain of a character in a franchise is a spin off of that character. The studio or filmmaker doesn't have to tell you, it's common sense.
Black Adam movie exist because Shazam exist. If there was no Shazam, they wouldn't have been Black Adam, not in the DCEU.

* Facts: Shazam is more profitable than MoS with a net profit of $73M to MoS' $42M just like Suicide Squad is more profitable than BvS with $158M to $103M.
Funny enough, it had to take MoS grossing $668M to have a profit of just $42M, imagine if Shazam had grossed MoS numbers.
And according to industry standard, MoS isn't a high grosser. High grossing starts from $700M, while medium grosser is from $300M to $699.9M. MoS just like Shazam is a medium grosser, they're both in the same category.

* Facts: MoS 2 wasn't part of Snyder original plan. Before you argue unnecessarily, do me a favour and find out his original plan. The movies slated were;
MoS, BvS, SS, WW, JL, Aquaman, Cyborg, Flash, GL, The Batman, JL 2 and JL 3.
Every other rumoured movie were either just rumours or were movies that were to be take place after Snyder had either rebooted the DCEU or time jumped it 20 to 30 year into the future, which was a wonky plan by the way.
So if Snyder was still in charge, you wouldn't have gotten MoS 2.
NEWS FLASH: According to Snyder, BvS is the sequel to MoS. If you want to argue with that, take your argument to Zack.

* Facts: The reason there is no MoS 2 is not because of its revenue rather because WB/DC, for reasons best known to them, plans to reboot the DCEU via The Flash first before producing the movie.
WB/DC has plans for two superman films (one DCEU movie and val zod series). The movie may not be MoS 2 but it will definitely be a superman movie with Henry Cavill (it is rumoured he will appear in the Flash probably at the end of the movie where the JL of the rebooted DCEU will be introduced).
WB/DC wants to reboot the universe first before they produced critical films like Superman and JL. The series probably will be cancelled but the movie will pull through. After The Flash, the next DCEU movie slate will include JL and Superman movies.
If you have been following DC infos, you should have known about this, they wouldn't have been need for all this noise about MoS 2.

Still trash statement considering the movie's metrics and circumstances. Lol.
Shazam is popular with adult audience, na en dem no turn up for the movie in droves.

Anyway, if you want to delude yourself, you're absolutely free. Industry standards disagree with u. Fight with your keyboard if you believe otherwise.

abduleez1:


Lol, this guy confidently sit down dey yarn ridiculousness.

Black Adam is a spinoff of Shazam!! I've heard it countless times. Black Adam was originally supposed to appear in the Shazam 2019 movie. But they changed it midway due to the star power of Dwayne Johnson who can carry a film of his own and DC's need to give other characters solo projects. It's killing two birds with one stone.

Do you also know WB plan or planned for Black Adam to face off Superman and Shazam?

Rest. If you don't know Birds of Prey is a spin off of Suicide Squad 2016. Same as Peacemaker is a spin of TSS.
