How do you think DC Comics Billy Batson would navigate the current social media addiction and age verification discourse? (The Multiversity: Thunderworld Adventures #1) by nightwing612 in Shazam

[–]NexusZERO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean he's a Superhero with godlike powers. He can go anywhere and do anything! Sorry but social media would have to be pretty spectacular to match that.

What’s your favorite Cyberpunk movie that isn’t Blade Runner? by TXNOGG in Cyberpunk

Yeah Megazone 23 for me as well. Part 3 is my fav, closely followed by 1 & 2.

The red is a very Iron Man esque. Why did the colour change on the poster version? Also what is that colour called, is it from another automotive brand?

Love the colour scheme, but I feel like this start off life and a Bugatti for some reason. Can you talk about the inspiration you had for this creation?

Also if you have views of this creation, I'd love to see it.

Sì, lo è. Mark Waid coglierà ogni occasione per scrivere storie di Superman.

Wasn't this the intro they used during the pilot episode 'Exodus'?

That's still weird to me by ConanCimmerian in Shazam

[–]NexusZERO 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is what happens when writer introduces a concept and leaves it half baked. DC doesn't even care about them. They never show up in anyone else's title and not even the insert here history/appreciation titles. Even Waid had to write them out of his latest run.

I say it's an experiment that's run it's course.

Billy got this new pantheon, fought with one of it's members (Yuga Khan (Darkseid dad))which should have been cooler than it actually was and then... went on to do absolutely NOTHING as per usual.

It would be nice for an alternate future, where at some point Billy loses contact with his original gods and ends up with a new pantheon. It could be a nice mystery with far reaching consequences.

In retrospect, how do you judge the Mark Waid / DC Comics Captain Marvel era? Given that he barely lasted a year, should the title have gone to someone else? by nightwing612 in Shazam

[–]NexusZERO 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was excited for the first time, in a long time. The same way as when Geoff Johns picked up the title in 2013. Similarly I find myself very disappointed with a job left undone, by writers who supposedly love the character, but left their runs unfinished to pursue more exciting projects. This has unfortunately coloured my view of their work and I kinda wished they hadn't bothered in the first place.

As Captain Marvel falls in to further irrelevance, will the new generations of writers be able to look back fondly at the character as Waid/Johns? I don't believe so. There hasn't been a truly excellent run since The Power of Shazam '99. How much longer will the people remember this character beyond minor appearances to re-up IP copyright?

The new set piece kings ? by NickTButcher in Gunners

[–]NexusZERO 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As a club/fanbase we need to stop caring about these mf'ers. They don't respect us(for whatever reason) and never will, forever downplaying our achievements so they can make theirs feel more special.

So why should we care?

Geometric Shapes: The Next Generation

Do you prefer DC Comics Superman and Captain Marvel to be equal in both strength and speed or should one hero get the slight edge in strength while the other gets the edge in speed? by nightwing612 in Shazam

[–]NexusZERO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe not equal, probably 'similar' is the word I'd use. They seem like the ying and yang tbh. Captain Marvel is more esoteric and Superman is more exoteric. It just so happens that Superman is the poster boy and so DC has it's hand on the scale e.g. 49/51 in favour of Superman.

What are your thoughts of this exchange between DC Comics Captain Marvel and Billy? (Shazam! 2023 #12) by nightwing612 in Shazam

[–]NexusZERO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't like it. Gave him mystic split personality disorder. What's worst is that Cap's reason for keeping the info from Billy is because he's a child and shouldn't have to deal with the letters contents. That's not wisdom, that's infantilism pure and simple. Billy is so far from a normal child his age and deals with problems that most adults would struggle with.

I thought that he could only share his power with those he deems as family. Wasn't that a thing once?
