Nice
Hello
Golden Age version of Shazam known as Captain Marvel was the most powerful
Are you aware that BetterHelp is having to settle charges from the FTC totaling over $7.8M because they shared private customer data? Doesn’t look good.
So did everyone on YT just forget that BetterHelp was a massive scam of a therapy site? And was in massive drama a couple years ago
One of the most badass moments in DC is The Spectre vs Shazam during Day of Vengeance. Imagine seeing that in a movie
The Spectre fought Captain Marvel in DoV.
That was a great read 👍
@@TheKotor2309 I almost wrote Billy Batson because I knew someone would comment this lol. As of Day of Vengeance he was still Captain Marvel, but now he's called Shazam
That would be a great introduction to the dcu and a great movie
Well he can’t say his own name now that is sad
I will always think of Shazam as Captain Marvel!
AS IT SHOULD BE!
Cause he is the true captain marvel. He was called that a long time before marvel took the name
Same here, but also...meh, DC screwed up and allowed Marvel to use the name for another character.
After "DC" sued Fawcett Comics because they were jealous of CPT Marvel's popularity, they got access to the character and just sat on it.
My favorite version is when he is called by his correct name CAPTAIN MARVEL
Hearing it said in Shazam 2 brought a huge smile to my face. They should stick to calling him that which they’re allowed to do. But keep the name of the movie shazam for legal reasons obviously
I find it pretty funny though. DC let the trademark go dormant when they sued Fawcett comics over Captain Marvel and won so since I’ve had to call the books/comics Shazam but kept the name Captain Marvel. Back then fans would always think of him as Shazam first and Captain Marvel second. Now they just made his name Shazam and people are willing how jarring it is and DC has no idea what to do. I’d say they should just use Captain Thunder (which they’ve done numerous times). It pays nice homage to the original name fawcett comics kicked around and sounds fine. If not make a different name. But Shazam really doesn’t work (especially if they want to continue implications that Billy eventually replaces the wizard and future champions have to say his chosen name).
Arris, thank you. This episode brought back some childhood memories about Golden Age SHAZAM. I was born in 71, and my Dad taught me to read by reading comics (you read words and see context. He is a member of MENSA). When you mentioned how SHAZAM was more popular around then, it reminded me of my Dad and Uncles discussing why SHAZAM was better than Superman. Of course, I also loved the TV show as a kid. Thank you.
I always loved that Shazam always rivaled the power of Superman in strength although in some versions like injustice he’s portrayed as some b list hero, I wish we could see an old man Shazam older than the kingdom come version
I know why they needed to get Captain Marvel out of the way in "Injustice." They needed Superman to be an insurmountable enemy, they can't have his equal around. So they nerfed him and Superman swatted him out of the way.
It's a great disservice and, no pun intended, injustice, to the character and all of his fans.
Will the REAL Captain Marvel please stand up!
🙄
@@Peecamarke 😄
To this day I still call him Captain Marvel, wish they woulda lay him keep it.
He is the real Captain Marvel
*Mar-Vell stands up*
Shazam is one of those character that have potential to have his own cartoon but DC doesn't want to take the risk
Captain Marvel will always be his name
DC screwed that up...
Big time !
Shazam,The Sentry,Hyperion and Silver Surfer are my favorites!
My favorite version is the Golden Age’s Captain Marvel
I love captain marvel he’s really awesome and badass
4:09 In the animated movie, Wonder Woman does it herself. 6:16 That reminds me of the moment in Young Justice where Zatanna forces Captain Marvel to transform by saying, “Trulb tou “Mazahs!’”.
Guess we're not gonna talk about how Arris keeps changing clothes. 😂
He is wearing different clothes in the ad segment because they shoot the ad on different days than the actual video, usually beforehand. But then splice the ad clip in with the video you are watching
@@ayezoop884 yeah..then he rubs his belt..
I didn't really like Shazam until after the first movie. Long comment sorry & going to get into some personal stuff, but I found you're channel about 5 years ago & subscribed but a few months later I was hit by a car & in the hospital for a few weeks it broke vertebra in my neck, cracked my skull & de-gloved my scalp, cracked my right shoulder blade almost in half & broke my left leg & shattered my ankle so now I can't work or get out much so I get lonely & bored, had to move back in with my parents & all we have is Direct TV & there's never anything on so now I just watch RUclips on my Xbox & talking to my therapist, my medication, weed & you're videos help me with my loneliness & boredom & I just wanted to say thank you for that

My Favorite Best versions of Shazam ever
He’ll always be Captain Marvel to me!!!
They should make the God of God's shazam like a powerful transformation for Billy, I know It's run by different gods, but It'd be a cool back up power.
Shazam and Martian ManHunter always confused me
as a kid my dad told me that both of them were just as powerful as superman
then this channel, the comicstorian and comic books explained basically said the same thing but in every comic book video I watch, these dudes never save the day
I was going to say same for wonder woman but in metal she was like the most powerful hero with her magical chainsaw
same as in zombies, because when she turned she was problem
but when billy turned in dark knight metal, he seemed more like a hard fight rather then
"our only option is run" like when Wonder Woman turns evil
I just saw a video on failsafe from the batman thing
he or it, looks more powerful than Shazam and martian manhunter
I think DC comics really needs a tier list
were they can say
"these characters are tier 1 a tier 2 villain or hero should not beat them unless they are buffed or something
if you want to make, Solomon grundy a threat instead of using superman who is tier 1
use aqua lad or aqua boy who is tier 3 in strength to make it more consistent"
That way characters strength is more consistent
same with the weaknesses, they should really have like a file they send to writers with some clear details about the characters
also talks about Shazam being a magic based character
in my opinion I think they should say the way Shazams physical contact when punching affects matter differently
in a unexplained way and thats why he is magic based and can beat superman (which he never does)
like, he is charged by magic which increases his strength but they write him like a brute force character
if I was to write him, after he hits superman, superman would note how "he feels funny" almost like poison
an the key to fighting Shazam is finishing the fight quickly and evading attacks(not getting touched like Floyd may weather) the more he is hit the more Shazams magic disrupts his bio-chemistry or whatever
this is too long
lol
Great idea
You forgot the time when he man gained the powers of Shazam in the crossover injustice versus the masters of the universe
Shazam, is the wizards name (one of many), the magic word Billy says, and used in the title of some of the runs. But Billy turns into Captain MARVEL! Even though they tried to re-introduce him as "Shazam!" in the later runs, no other character ever calls him that nor does he ever refer to himself by that name in any run that I've ever read. It's just CYA because of Marvel/Disney. He was Captain Marvel for over 50 years and it's still the exact same character. And remember when Freddy get's his own powers, what magic word did he say? "Captain Marvel!"
Willie Fosset rubbing his belt and yelling, "Captain Thunder!," is so sus on the writer's part.
He is no longer called Shazam he is now simply called The Captain in the new series by Mark Waid!!
Darkseid war had so much potential
What do you think Shazam would be like if he had the power of the Spectre and Dr Fate or was a member of the Green Lantern Corps?
I saw this movie and I enjoyed it. It was better than the first. It was fun.
Can’t wait to watch it today
I hate calling capt Marvel "shazam"!
The days of Curt Swan as the the artist on Superman in the 60’s & 70’s.
SHAZAM is one of my favorite comic book heroes. It’s a shame he’s not on the same level of popularity or notoriety as Batman or Superman
Cuz dc cant replace their poster child.
He has an awesome origin and a increasing Fandom. DC should really put respects on SHAZAM
Shazam I can punch a hole in reality...maybe.
SUPERBOY PRIME hold my beer
What would happen if we saw these versions of Shazam on the Big Screen or TV Shows?
Shazam! Red hood and The Questions as well as ozymandias and Dr. manhattan all are my favorites in DC. I truly wish they were more well notice
2:00 Captain Thunder with a sun on his chest 😂
I prefer captain marvel or captain thunder 1970s and 1982,Flashpoint too
whoever the new editor is i hope he gets paid good
Can you do the history of zorro judge dredd Cassie hack qwenpool hit monkey, vamperrella moon girl & devil dinosaur and league of extraordinary gentlemen
Lord Marvel has so much drip.
Ima take a gander and say casandra cain, mainly due to the fact it's just batman shazam
Can you guys break down in detail which is more powerful, cosmic or divine?
I don't think using Shazam V Superman fights as a measure of power is necessarily fair. Superman has a known vulnerability to magic. Shazam is almost a perfect counter for anything and everything Superman can do, other than sheer wit.
The problem with Shazam is that writers are so inconsistent with him and seem to have forgotten some of his original abilities and don’t seem to understand others. Some seem to think he gets one power from each deity even though in Canaan it shown he can get multiple powers. Plus the power of Zeus is so poorly laid out. Even though he has the speed of mercury and has been shown in other comics to be able to catch the flash while he’s running at his TopSpeed but Shazam is at a dead stop, the times he’s not even in the top five. It’s just ridiculous. If I was a writer I have a great idea for a version. But I’m not
Till this day I see people undermine Shazam he’s really powerful but every time in live action or video game’s something bad always happens to him 😭 One he’ll be truly appreciated YOU GUY HAVE TO REMEMBER he was more popular than Superman at the time these day he’s truly underrated and the movie really didn’t help either the first one was a OK start but the second one wasn’t really it and I think Shazam is not gonna he in New James Gunn universe moving forward
Can you do a how powerful is Captain America's shield video?
DC nurfs this character so hard its not cool. A perfect Goku/Vegeta-esk type dynamic just sitting right infront of them (Shazam & Superman) that wont intefere with the golden Batman & Superman dynamic already established, as that dynamic is far more nuanced. A Shazam & Superman rivalry could be for straight thrills and cracked out fun power and strength/skill growth in combat. Sups & Cap could go all out with eachother without worriying too much on injuring one another and under friendly circumstances all the while pushing eachother to new hights when both working toghather and in training. Which is always fun to see. A chad god-wizard vs a chad OP alien solar battery.
Captain Marvel is the strongest version. Shazam is the wizard and will always be the wizard. It's a stupid name for a Superman calibre hero.
Captian marvel is also a stupid name
I need video about who is the strongest member of the Shazam family
Can you do history of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Signal(Duke Thomas), Bluebird, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?
I wish he is still called Captain Marvel
Love all your videos such great work thank you so much 🙂
Which one of these versions of Shazam is the best as well as the most powerful and would win against each other?
Can you make a video on all the versions Captain thunder
Which one of these versions of Shazam do you think is the best and should appear in the DCEU or DCU?
Kingdomcome version
Can you do history of the villains of the Stargirl TV show like Mr_Bones, Dragon king, Brainwave and Icicle? When are you going to do history of the Flash Villains Mirror Master and Top since the second half of season 6 of the Flash has finished?
Can you do history of the Atom, Major_Force, Captain Atom, Plastique, the Blackhawks, Rocket Red Brigade, Blue_Beetle, Mr Terrific and Plastic Man along with the history of the Villains Dr Alchemy and Abracadabra?
2:10 - Error
Shazam is underrated. Superman himself said that he was the fastest hero.
So Shazam’s is more powerful but it slept on a lot
The only good Shazams stories is when the only one left alive is Mary Shazam.
Since you did the origin of Sonic the Hedgehog characters Tails and Knuckles in your previous video, when are you going to do history of Sonic the Hedgehog himself?
Since you did the history of Miss Marvel Kamala Khan, Can you please do origin of the Nega Bands in your next video since that's going to be the source of Miss Marvel getting her powers in the MCU?
Shazam is the most nerfed justice leaguer besides firestorm. He’s literally faster than the flash, stronger than Superman, and a way better thinker and fighter than Batman and Wonder Woman.
Da blind joke went over y’all head 🤣
Shazam vs thor vs scarlet witch vs the spectre
so what happened to the Darkseid war shazam? Did he revert back to his original connection in the DC rebirth?
Yes, he's basically been restored to the former SHAZAM Gods
I don't care what DC says he will ALWAYS be CAPTAIN MARVEL.
SHAZAM is the Wizards name.
Everyone always puts Captain Marvel against Superman, which is fair, but no one ever mentions. The captain. Marvel‘s powers are based in magic, and that’s one of sup’s main weaknesses. Without this context, I think it’s skews the results.
I had that issue of Superman were he battled Captain Thunder.
When are you going to do history of JSA member Cyclone along with DC Sabbac since he's the main Villain of the Black_Adam movie?
Surprised you didn't bring up The Dark Knight Captain Marvel
When are you going to do history of Marvel's Sandman and Kurt Conners the Lizard since they made a live action comeback in Spider-Man No Way Home along with the Elementals who were mentioned in Spider-Man Far From Home?
Love the belt joke lol
i don't understand the belt joke. can someone please explain?
@@Christopher7676 it's a masterbation joke
@@matthewa9911 okay, if that is true then it is gross. I watch Varant Comics all the time and I've never seen him use this type of humor. I hope he doesn't in the future since his content mostly deals with superheroes which probably has little kids watching his channel all the time.
Surprised no days of vengence shazam
The lack of New god Shazam in comics is a crime of some sort.
just have ine thing to ask, what version of shazam and black adam are a match for current goku and vegeta?
If he was so powerful as lord Shazam in the white and gold why did Adam kick his ass….sometimes the villains plot armor is just too much
SHAZAM!
*lightning strikes*
?!?!?!
~_~
Still Our Cap. Marvel is soo underrated for DCEU or others dc fans..,, I don't think that they(wb) will make something like comics 🥲
Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?
The movie was 8/10 I had a great time watching it
What's up my comicbook heroes! Black shazam.....kingdom come Shazam remember Superman was a older man at that point in time too.
Comics show how powerful heros are. Movies make them look like a school boy with their strength
The medium can’t handle their full power
I need a mazahs t shirt where can i find one
Thank you 😊
His name is captian Marvel not shazam.. if his name is shazam, what happens when someone ask him his name? he changes back to billy, does that make sense
It’s awkward but all we can do is blame DC for ruining the character out of jealousy and spite. The true Captain Marvel belongs to MARVEL Comics and has for decades. Long before DC even acquired the character. Considering most who complain about the name weren’t even alive in the 60’s, when Marvel’s version made its debut, I’m surprised people aren’t used to it by now. It’s time to get over it.
Didn't super boy prime punch the source? Or am I remembering that wrong.
That's awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 😎 👌 👏
Mazash is my far favorite one because he can get more powerful
love this channel
6:30 skinny thor?
Lovely.
I hope he talks about marvelman both the original and the moore version with this captain marvel train lately
The marvel hero?
@@jmgonzales7701 the character was made in the 50s by L Miller and sons for Britain because of comic book laws back then and in the 80's warrior comics had Alan Moore make a dark revision of marvelman he is a captain marvel(Billy Batson) stand in since they couldn't use the character
@@marcsantana9426 i think he is under liscenced by marvel now
Release a Shazam comic where there’s a hole punched through the pages
The original Fawcett Captain Marvel is, by far, the most powerful. So much so that DC whined and put Fawcett out of business for making an improved version of Superman.
Shame he can’t have a powerful box office
Not that popular
The New Gods Shazam was lame because it is primarily to distance him from the classic Greek pantheon and tie him to DC's new gods, which is lame. They also deliberately removed invulnerability from his power set so he isn't a flying brick anymore and more of a spell slinger. Which is also lame.
Can you do this with superman?
8:17 DC Shazam in a nutshell
No Days of Vengeance?
DC should just do us all a favor and keep his real name, Captain Marvel or just go to Captain Thunder. "Shazam" is a stupid name.
Superman didn't want to fight Captain Marvel in Kingdom Come.

Cpt thunder sucks
@@jmgonzales7701 Calling him by the wizards name is any better?
