#zendaya and the grey shazam costarred on a disney show

[sun-through-the-trees]

Is it just me, or are Spider-Man: Homecoming and Shazam! the same? We got:

[Biggest Franchise Character] Jr. edition!

Young hero who seems older in God More but acts young and dumb as a bit, mostly

So they have well-known, classic toys, (onscreen) as a symbol of their youth and friendship

Friendly, neighborhood (maybe your very neighborhood!), stops very common robbery for the first bit, but can stop a bus with their hands

In fact, they're so relatable and hometowny that they're a super hero who supports small business in this Major Northern Eastern Seaboard City

But mostly in the rarely-seen suburbs

But they also got discovered on YouTube (right, fellow young people?)

But people still call them the wrong name

The sound design is real music, but like, cool and edgy music young demographics will love!

The Young, Plucky, Dorky Sidekick

The Guy in the Chair best friend who's a little different and not a conventionally attractive actor (point to DC Fawcett Comics! for having it written that way) knows about superheroes since they already exist in the X Cinematic Universe

Are we sure the child who is awkward and unpopular in school can keep the secret? Yeah we’ll probably be fine 👀👀👀

Much older, balder villain motivated by The Rich (but like, vibe)

Also, the villain is driven by the prologue that happened in enough time to let the kid one grow most of the way up and the grown up one not age visibly at all

But they're cool, so cool that the villains that you won't know unless you already know this character's lore (very deeply in the case of Mister Mind) who also happen to be poisonous-arthropod-themed visit them in prison to have a little villain powwow in the after credits

I suddenly remembered that all I need to do to win this Bossfight is remember the short and memorable phrase that was told to me by an older, wiser superhero earlier

Turn this fight around with the power of finally catching a punch since in all reality I'm much stronger than you

The Act 3 fight happens at a fairground for some reason

Woah! I didn't know I could shoot that (possibly electrically-charged) out of my hand!!! That's dangerous!!!!!!! Cool!!!!!!!!!!

Real neat suit-up sequence from literal child to godling-man

Yeah, I’m an average Asian-American kid. Yeah, my power is knowing a lot about technology. Which means mostly I’m the only character with Google. So what?

You've disappointed your non-parent guardian figure, but he forgives you, and isn't that what it's all about?

Bill it as a comedy and an action movie to trick mom into coming to see it

And it all works out in the end even though we didn’t really resolve the family being concerned about our young hero as their superhero problems show through in their school work and attendance until the denoument, or later

Quirky, but loudly branded references to the more important and expensive superheroes by literally featuring the toys of former team-up movies onscreen

And as a result of allllll that, the credits are hand-drawn animations of superheroes fighting. How quaint.

I mean, I know most if not all of these movies’ plots are the same, and that I’m probably gonna like them anyway (especially if DC keeps getting better, in my personal opinion), but this seems a wee bit closer than most. Right?
