The serial was made in 1941. About ten years later when I was a kid it was shown a chapter every Saturday at the Capitol Theater in Augusta, Maine. I had to be there every week.
Oh, knock it off with the disclaimers! We Gen Xers grew up in the 1980s, four decades after this serial came out, and we didn't need any damn disclaimers when we would watch old movies on local UHF networks.
The disclaimer was probably part of the original serial and there for the people back in the 40s or 50s.. It's likely simply given to us as it was given to them many decades ago rather than edited out.
@@anczerewicz1 Disclaimers regarding this kind of content are recent. People of born in the 70's and earlier (didn't and) don't need content warnings like these. We don't consider words as violence. We have more mental toughness and psychological stability. We know that words can't hurt us. ...these disclaimers are for Gen Z, Gen alpha and maybe Millennials who have been conditioned to feel uncomfortable, offended and seek safe-spaces from things that are intangible (words, images, etc.) and actually harmless.
@@jayleeds2006 I was not referring to disclaimers for this kind of content. I was referring to the disclaimer that may have been included with this particular video originally when it was created way back when. Are you saying the disclaimer that is on this specific video was not on this specific video when it was originally released and that this disclaimer was added recently for our current day viewing?
@@anczerewicz1 Yes. This disclaimer was added recently for (hypersensitive) current day viewers. Differences image quality: Compare the crisp, high-contrast, clean image quality of the (current day) disclaimer text at 0:02 with the original text at 2:13, 31:21, 1:37:47, etc. The older (original) text is fuzzier at the edges (due to limitations of the analog techniques they were using at the time) and the fonts are more stylized (old-fashioned). The older text is also slightly transparent, so the whites are not pure white but a little off-white, so less contrast with the background. Gen X perspective: I was born in the 70’s. I’ve seen society and Western culture change over the decades. Certain words I heard on TV as a child (that were not offensive or profane) are now censored and can get people canceled. We only had (parental guidance) warnings for (real physical) violence, nudity and sexual content on channels like HBO (and these channels required paid access, they weren’t accessible everywhere). There were no warnings for depictions of racial stereotypes, prejudice etc. The “n-word”, “r-word” and other letter-words were used in sitcoms and regular prime time programming. They were still insults and may have still caused fights, but no where close to being considered as injurious as people think of them today. I’d say the heightened sensitivity to these words started in the early 2000’s, with the increase of social media…and so many (every day average) people having a voice. The disclaimer is apologizing for the past and suggesting that the hypersensitive viewers of today brace themselves. …as it refers to “yesterday’s prejudice” and ”historical value”. The past it’s referring to is the early 1900’s. Disclaimers weren’t necessary for the people of that time, because the depictions were not considered aberrant to early-1990’s society. I think the disclaimer would be more clear, fair and accurate if it acknowledged that what early-2000’s people are viewing this through a subjective [2024] lens. If I could re-write the disclaimer, I’d say something like… “The content you are about to view features depictions that may be considered objectionable [when viewed through an early 21st century lens]. We present this material [from the early 1900s] for its historical value. [From our early 2000’s perspective, we believe it is necessary to issue this disclaimer to protect modern viewers who may be more susceptible to emotional or psychological harm compared to previous generations. We would therefore like to say in the most gentle, inclusive, social-justice-aligned way that…] we strongly believe that awareness of yesterday’s prejudice and its lasting effects can be enhanced when that prejudice is seen through the lens of [early 1900s] entertainment. [In other words, please don’t cancel us, for this content that we did not create.]” Gen X’ers understand that that was then and this is now. Most of us are able to compartmentalize, put things in context and are therefore not as easy to offend. I think it is very, very important that younger people learn to do the same. Don’t be so easily offended. Because the easier a person is to offend the more likely they are to retaliate or respond in ways that escalate conflict or “self-medicate” to deal with unnecessary anxiety. Stressing over little things. Stressing over things that happened 100’s of years ago. I want younger generations to be less emotional, and more analytical, calm, rational, psychologically/emotionally stable etc. Less bothered by words and situations from the past that no longer exist (at least not significantly, or to the extent that they were). From a Gen X perspective, I can tell you that things have improved A LOT. It’s waaay better now than it used to be. …and if younger people could somehow also gain that perspective, we’d have a much calmer, more cohesive society.
This is NOT the "Shazam" show I watched growing up in the 70s. This dude means business! I don't remember the 70s Captain M shooting mofos or throwing bad dudes off buildings. I love it! I wish this realism was "real" with some of the shows from the 70s onward, like "The Boys". But the world has gotten softer and softer...
Quando criança, gostava muito de ver filme de Capitão Marvel. Na minha inocência e devaneio de criança, imaginava que era o Capital Marvel. Estendia os braços e imaginava estar voando. E repetia a palavra mágica Shazam. Queria encontrar com o sábio velho pra me dar os superpoderes. Fui criança muito feliz, imaginativo. É a melhor fase da vida da gente.
@@skyradtvcomics4981 Well to be fair Captain Marvel did kill at least some bad guys in cold blood. Not something kids should see. Regardless, I love the serial. Always have always will.
The producers of this video should realize that Fawcett Comics settled with DC Comics in the mid 1950s & stopped publishing the original Captain Marvel. DC started publishing the character in the early 1970s.
Superhéroe de mi infancia, no me perdía ningún capitulo semanal en el cine de mi padre, inclusive en los Carnavales de fines de los años 50 me disfrazaron de Capitán Maravilla.
Holy Moley! Saw this years ago! Frank Coghlan, Jr. did a cameo in the 1970s "Shazam" TV series. Oh, and he'd been in "Gone With The Wind;" He's the soldier who stands up and collapses.
Shazam is actually better than Superman. He is Magical, purely of Earth, made of the best essences of the Universe and being Magical, someone that can totally destroy Superman. For some strange reason they decided to go with Superman instead of Shazam. They messed up
Sempre gostei muito fo Capitão Marvel e faço questão de referir-me a ele com seu nome original, embora o chamem de Shazam para separá-lo do Cap. Marvell da Marvel Comics... pena que até hoje seja mal aproveitado.
Captain marvel was the original superhero, a year before superman,'37 and his name was Captain Marvel, Shazam was the wizard that gave Captain his powers.
Captain Marvel's very first appearance in any medium was in Whiz Comics #2, cover-dated February 1940, published by Fawcett Comics. Superman's first appearance was in Action Comics #1, cover-dated June 1938. But, yes, you're absolutely right about Shazam being the name of the wizard who gave Captain Marvel his powers.
❤DC Comics (National Comics Publication at the time) sued Fawcett Comics for copyright infringement, saying that Captain Marvel was a deliberate copy of Superman in 1941. It took ~12 years until DC Comics won in court, and Captain Marvel stopped being published. In 1972 Captain Marvel (Shazam) returned as A DC comic character. So Superman was created before Captain Marvel.
Why try and deny history, it was made decades ago and world has changed. If you find it objectionable, don't watch it. Just enjoy it as a piece of the past and how we have moved on. A lot of kids grew up on this stuff.
Even you now have me counted as a view but just wanted to let you know I didn't watch this just because of the stupid and unnecessary disclaimer in the beginning. I'll be watching it on Dailymotion with no senseless disclaimers. Thank you.
Os roteiros eram até engraçados mesmo em séries bacanas como essa onde um heroi não sucumbe ás balas do revolver mas cai com um golpe de uma cadeira de madeira.kkk
I fucking hate people deciding what's "objectionable", like it's not up to the audience to decide, it's so offensive to say otherwise. I'm a grown man, and an intelligent one, I'll decide what's "objectionable" thanks.
Captain Marvel is one cold dude. He takes over the machine gun, turns it on the fleeing natives and guns them down in the back. BTW I understand the disclaimer at the start. Because I'm not some right-wing snowflake.
The disclaimer at the opening is straight out the Cultural Marxist handbook, political correctness is far more objectionable than anything in this classic serial.
I am confused. Is Shazam also Captain Marvel? And if so. Why is it that Shazam is now a DC character and Captain Marvel a character in the Marvel Universe?
Shazam was always Captain Marvel. The Captain Marvel in the Marvel Universe should be Ms. Marvel. Totally different characters from totally different creators.
If you need a trigger warning or whatever the hell that was at the beginning, maybe you should just go watch cat videos, mkay? Leave the rest of us in peace.
Objectionable? What a immature culture we live in today. Instead of "immature" i initially used the word which describes a cat or a womans genitalia but you tube warned me it might be against their guidelines. Utterly ridiculous and yet another example of have far we have sunk.
arts and sciences are for depiction of the times in the creativity of the moment and not to be rejected because they do not fit the status quo of the liberal agenda, because the same group is and was responsible for saying what one could create and what one could not create. look for the positive: storyboarding, storytelling, black and white film in its lighting and its ability to follow the story and characters in the script writer's works.
The serial was made in 1941. About ten years later when I was a kid it was shown a chapter every Saturday at the Capitol Theater in Augusta, Maine. I had to be there every week.
Believe it or not, the Captain Marvel/Shazam comics actually outsold Superman during the 1940s.
He also flew when Superman only jumped high.
And that's why DC sued Fawcett Comics and successfully killed the Captain Marvel comic book.
Love Captain Marvel…👍❤️🙏🏼
Cool! Thanks for watching
Me too ❤ captain marvel
