So yes we finally went to see
Shazam: Fury of the Gods (Shazam 2)
this week.
There wasn't anything in the way of
Collectables which is both surprising and not
being there wasn't anything for the first
movie but you could have had cups with toppers
with the Marvel/Shazam Family which
would have been cool but yeah there
wasn't anything.
Actually there wasn't a big mech push
for this movie to begin with not that I
have seen
anyway..
I thought the actual movie itself was great
I really liked it! Alot of ppl where hating on
it and I don't see why? the movie is pretty much a
perfect sequel to the first one
they took everything that made the first
movie great and did more of that plus added
more action and cool things like monsters
dragons, cameos from other DC things
and linking it to the previous movie and the
broader DC film universe.
Your story is pretty much this
Some time has passed and Shazam and
his family are trying to do right by the city
and being the heroes they deserve
but it is not working out for them
for the most part then a new threat
arrives in the form of "the daughters of atlas"
who wish to reclaim magic for the Gods
and return them to their rightful place
above humanity which means they have to
take it back from Shazam and his family
which leads to them squaring off
over who is truly the one who should
wield the power of the Gods
The movie does have more of the family drama
from the original and has plenty of humor and
heart in this second one even more so then
the first. I felt it was a very funny movie
where all the jokes land and gags will at
least get a giggle out of you.
Also this movie is a visual spectacle
the visual are pretty amazing and the action
feels very "super heroic" like the bridge
recuse around the first of the movie was
really well done. all the fights and action
was great I felt with this movie they knew
what they were doing because of the first
and there for the characters where allowed
to stretch their legs a bit more and do more
things and have this be a bigger and better
movie visually.
The creatures in this were awesome
the Minotaur and Cyclops and Harpies in the
3rd act climax of the movie were awesome and I
loved all that stuff and the Dragon was
really cool and I thought was really well done
and did come off as a major threat in this movie.
Also Anthea's (played by Rachel Zegler) reality shifting
powers were pretty good but of course reminded me
of the similar "mirror dimension" stuff that was
done in Dr. Strange and No Way Home.
but it is cool none the less.
I did think everyone returning for there roles
from the previous movie did a perfect job it was
like they never missed a beat!
I still think Zachary Levi is doing a great job as Shazam
I know there are some that think he is not the best
for this role but I think he is doing a good job as
the character and I also think Asher Angel is doing a good
job as his alter ego Billy Batson.
I thought Lucy Liu,Helen Mirren and Rachel Zegler
were great as the Daughters of
Atlas and Lucy Liu did a good job as the films final villian.
Also they gave the Wizard (played by Djimon Hounsou)
more screen time and he pretty much eats it all up
he is great at that character.
But yeah everyone was awesome in this and the
movie does do plenty of DC comics references and
DCEU ones too and builds out the world even more.
You get more mythology and see more of The Rock of Eternity
as well as go to DC's version of Mount Olympus
and the "Godly Realm" also the linking it to the
larger DCEU with all the Wonder Woman
stuff was excellent the whole dream sequence
thing was both weird and hilarious
at the same time but her actually showing up and
meeting the Shazam and the family on Mount Olympus
was just pure awesomeness
I loved it the only thing that would have made
this movie better was if Black Adam appeared at the
end but we all knew that sadly wasn't going to happen.
but also they had Michael Gray the original Billy Batson
from the 70s Shazam! tv series appear near the end
of the movie and actually call him Captain Marvel
gave me a huge smile about that.
but yeah the movie is great! I have no real
complaints about it. I enjoyed it. It was lots of
fun and funny plenty of action and nice visuals
everyone in it was great,
lots of fan moments I though like I said
it was pretty much the perfect follow up to
to the first movie. In my opinion if you loved
the first one you should love this one
so I don't understand why people are/have been
hating on it becasue it's good at least I thought
it was. I guess its all about that
"its cool to hate stuff" mentality I don't know?
but anyway I thought it was good anyway.
Also yes there is 2 credit scenes one mid and
one end credit.
As for the mid credit there has been some
controversy over that. My opinion on that is
yes it would have worked better with the actual
JSA characters that is 100% true
but at the same time it still works with the
Suicide Squad/Peacemaker characters
its not perfect but it still works but they
should have put the JSA characters in there.
As for the End credit scene it is related to
the end credit scene from the first movie
where we catch up with a couple of characters
who are still plotting their revenge.

When a true baby ghost is born— a ghost not born of dying, but rather through the desire of another ghost— they are little more than a core with wispy ectoplasm emanating from them for about a month. During said month, they take on influence from their surroundings in order to figure out the form they’ll take, hence why so many young ghosts look like their parents.
Because they aren’t fully formed until a month after their birth, the parent or parents will take on a far more aggressive, primal form in order to protect their child. The parent’s form will become incredibly monstrous, and their size will increase, with triple their normal size being most common among parents. Their mental state also becomes incredibly instinctual, higher intelligence temporarily being replaced by aggression towards anyone the ghost doesn’t consider family. They stay in this state until the baby is fully formed.
Of course, Danny “don’t worry about it” Phantom forgets to add this bit of trivia to his explanation to his fellow heroes as to why he was taking paternity leave. In his defense, he didn’t expect them to visit during that month.
And he definitely didn’t expect his brooding brain to latch onto most everyone who visited as “part of his brood.”
