I seriously feel bad about DCEU right now.
They made 1 seriously bad movie, that ruined the entire atmosphere. To that one, they connected a 2nd one, that ruined the timeline, and since that one, they are just fucked. No matter what they do, thy just cannot form a cohesive world, no matter how much they keep on holding on.
Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? Seriously, this idiotic scene killed the entire series in the 2nd fucking movie.
What broke the Shazam 2 movie
Also, I have realized, that Shazam is just incompatible with this format.
Because, he is supposed to be a kid. There was a 4 year difference between first and second movie, and he's fucking 17 in the 2nd one.
By 17 he can be hardly considered a child hero. So, let's work it backwards.
That makes him 13 in the first movie. If we push in one more, he would be 9 (still acceptable), but you cannot push in more then 3 movies. To get a 4th one in, he would have to start at 5.
Shazam cannot be part of a movie series as a child hero. It is a broken concept.
What broke the Shazam 2 movie
He does have the strength of Superman, but he's just a kid. That's what makes him so fucking special.
Well, guess what? Now, he's just the superman.
