Ok, lets talk briefly about #ShazamFuryofTheGods. No spoilers here, i think.

I genuine enjoyed the movie, Sandberg still delivers good fun with quality, but i felt the movie, even bigger in scale, still contains the same scope of the first one. #ShazamFuryofTheGods

Which is weird in a certain way, because the 2 movies are heavy-character-centric, but the action of the second is bigger. The movie really comes full circle of Billy as a character, besides he was the only one which the changes were the most negative, [+] #ShazamFuryofTheGods

They pushed the humor on Billy soo hard, dumbing him down, what ends to be a disservice to the character at that point of his own history. #ShazamFuryofTheGods

But the "impostor syndrome" plot helped to reafirm something what i said a lot: Shazam is where Billy, the tought-kid aways trying to be a adult, allow to relax and have fun with himself, and become more vunerable. #ShazamFuryofTheGods

My complain about Billy is they've done better in the 1st movie. In counterpoint, all the bcharacters have room to grow and shine, in special adding more importance to Mary in the storyline. #ShazamFuryofTheGods

Sandberg really saw some of the complains given to the first one, and also was open to hear fan theories and used all that to improved the movie in the way he could. #ShazamFuryofTheGods

The movie had soo many monsters, and sadden me see that him didn't used much that horror touch what made several moments of the 1st film soo cool. But he double down on action, and that was delivered with delight. #ShazamFuryofTheGods

Lucy Liu and Helen Mirren are havbing a damn good time shooting this movie and you can tell that. The Daughters of Atlas is a good addition to Shazam! lore. And damn, Rachel Zagler really can sell charming characters. #ShazamFuryofTheGods

See Djmon flexing his comedy habilities with a more human and fragile Wizard was great, but the real MVP of the film is Jack Dylan Grazer as Freedy Freeman. [+] #ShazamFuryofTheGods

Every line, every joke and emotion moment was delivered in full power, and he steals the show every scene he's in. #ShazamFuryofTheGods

And yeah, i have to agree, Adam Brody sells the "superhero version" of himself WAY better (and in sync) than Levi, besides still enjoying his work here. #ShazamFuryofTheGods

In chronological therms, we all know the DCEU is in a mess, but was nice see Wonder Woman there (in both scenes) to remind that, at the end, how things were supposed to be (besides there was zero worries to fit the Fall of Atlas to the events of 2017's WW). #ShazamFuryofTheGods

The final road of the DCEU show attempts to entertain, but without locking up the audience to a narrative they cannot escape (like Marvel Studios did) or bringing something worthy of hype (like Zack Snyder did) [+] #ShazamFuryofTheGods

But still David Sandberg deliver a product to be proud of, besides still fall in the "like the first one, but bigger" than "something genuine fresh, going to a bold direction". #ShazamFuryofTheGods [+]

I think the 2nd post-credit scene (not the atrocity which the 1st one is), shows exactlky why guys like Sandberg stand out between CBMs, and leaves with a note having fun, somehow, with its own disgrace at the end of the line, like good sportists does. #ShazamFuryofTheGods

BTW, i'll dive down on that horrible 1st post-credit scene later, because there is a LOT to dig in, less about the future, and more about the current captains which helm the (sinking) ship. #ShazamFuryofTheGods

#ShazamFuryofTheGods still a good times in theaters. Watch it for your own risk. And interestring, i saw the trailer of "Air" (directed by Ben Affleck, an Amazon prime exclusive which will be exibit in theaters) and funny enough, will have internation distribution by WBD...

Baby steps define the future ahead... And the future will come. #SellSnyderverseToNetflix
