It’s kinda crazy to me that morbius has left such an impact, perhaps akin to a scar, on the super hero genre that “it’s morbin time” is so iconic, but nobody actually bothered to watch it. It’s like if an in joke between me and my friends became the slogan of the vanguard party. None of you know me or my friends, but you’re still saying my joke?

I can imagine the execs at WB are really hoping that this type of meme comes in and gives it a boost. Especially since it seems like they are kinda in the red.

Stay strong, my man

I see quite a few superhero movies with a younger person and I quite liked the first Shazam. It was self-knowingly cheesy, but earnest and sweet. But I’d have absolutely zero interest in the second on because the best stuff - the realisation he’s got superpowers, kids trying to act as they think adults do, the ‘finding your family’ dynamic - doesn’t work twice and the trailer seemed to be all punching CGI dragons and cities getting destroyed or whatever just like everything else.

Shazam, the first one at least, works with that aesthetic because its actually a coming of age comedy story. The costume and even the effects being sort of cheesy just makes it more endearing to be honest. I actually think its the best power rangers movie ever made.
