It kind of bothered me that the helmet was missing eyeholes. When he's always been drawn with eyes, why would you make it harder for either the actor or the CGI crew to achieve an effect they don't even attempt in the comics or animated movies?

[@ML1399TheyStoleMyName]

Honestly I think the biggest issue with "Black Adam kills bad guys, therefore he's bad" is that in modern superhero movies the heroes kill the villains all the time. Superman is effectively meant to be the paragon definition of what heroism, and out of the 4 villains he's gone up against in the DCEU, 3 of them didn't live to see the end credits. Hell, even those mercs/terrorists at the beginning of BVS probably ended up in body bags after he sent them through solid walls. It makes the whole thing come off a hypocritical and kinda half assed

[@EclipseHedgehog]

Well superman wasn't really much of a beacon yet on day 0 and he was just Kal-el in Man of Steel, no kryptonite was established yet, you couldn't fly Zd to another planet because he'll just come back to earth, no prison on earth could hold him, who made it clear he wasn't going to stop. "There's only one way this ends Kal. Either you die, or I do!" then you have Doomsday which is practically a zombie Zod which doesn't count, and steppenwolf (self explanatory) technically aquaman and wonderwoman helped give the finishing blow. As for the mercs/terrorists in BvS Clark clearly states he didn't kill anyone in that scene. and of course with this movie finally bringing up a "no killing!" rule to abide by; they're okay with it if its literally satan when hawkman said "beat his ass"...im pretty sure they're using this as a joke by this point. and while on the subject; when you think about it; batman brought up this "no killing" rule in the nolan movies, yet Batman killed in those movies as well, accidentally or not even if it was by protecting others and yet not a single person peed their pants over it.

[@ML1399TheyStoleMyName]

@@EclipseHedgehog This was less a critique of the Snyderverse specifically and more a critique of Superhero films in general, but if the movies keep having to go out of their way to engineer scenarios in which Superman has to kill his villains or has no particular interest in stopping them from dying, that demonstrates that the film makers are aware that not killing his villains is a core tenet of his character but they aren't terribly interested in portraying it. And they don't explicitly have to. Batman '89 is the best Batman movie and he straight up murders The Joker. The issue is that, from a meta perspective, them making such a big deal about Black Adam killing people pretends like they've actually cared about heroes not killing villains in the past, which they blatantly haven't. Its a disingenuous notion, upon which our understanding of Black Adam as an antihero is built

[@maxfieldjoyner5244]

Aldis Hodge absolutely slayed as Hawkman and I hope James Gunn keeps him for that role.

[@ravenfal1496]

16:46 - My theory is that if Fate hadn't sacrificed himself, Hawkman would have been stabbed for real (because he wouldn't have had the helmet to cast the illusion), and it would have been Fate holding Sabbac down at the end there. Fate sacrificed himself because he knew Hawkman could still fulfill that role, and this way his friend survives.

[@matti.8465]

The post-credits scene is so funny to me. Black Adam wasn't planning on leaving Kahndaq, but when Waller directly asks him not to leave, he just goes "maybe I will leave Kahndaq, what do you think about that?" because he hates being told what to do.

[@B-Hathaway]

The CG for the JS was really top notch. And Pierce Brosnan was perfect casting.

I honestly enjoyed most of this movie overall. My only real gripes were the skateboarding kid and how a it sometimes felt like a 90s movie (and not in a good way). I love that you called the kid "John Connor", because his relationship with Black Adam was absolutely a retread of Terminator 2. LOL

[@carlweaselbear534]

I don't think the skateboard kid has a John Connor- Terminator 2 relationship with Black Adam. It's more of a Disney/Nickelodeon type situation where a kid finds an animal/alien/ancient human, and tries to hide him from his parents and the evil government trying to use it'd power for evil, and along the way they have a montages where the kid teaches the being how to be human, and the lesson was the friends we made along the way. It just doesn't fit this movie.

[@orinanime]

@@carlweaselbear534 the kid doesn't try to hide him from anybody. He literally encourages him to go out in public and fight. And he tries to teach him to say quippy one-liners while kicking ass. That's literally the dynamic John has with The T-800 for the first 2/3rds of Terminator 2. That's the whole point of "Hasta la Vista baby!" I'm not the only person who's made this observation. Practically 90% of everybody who's seen this movie has pointed this out. And "teaching him to be human" IS the relationship dynamic of Terminator 2. Duh!

[@mryoungandbrave1]

I was so excited for this movie, and it at first it seemed like they nailed it, the Justice Society, Black Adam's power and brutality, the inclusion of Intergang. This movie should have been about an evil supervillain fighting the golden age of heroes, and the predecessors to the Justice League, but it didn't happen, because the Rock's didn't want to be seen as the villain, or even make a small cameo in a Shazam movie, when he's playing the arch rival to Shazam. Imagine if an actor playing Lex Luthor didn't want to be a villain in a Superman movie.

[@maniac7770]

To be fair, there's always time for them to demonstrate Black Adam in his more villainous light, but I was fine with this because it's A) Black Adam's movie, and B) he's staying *mostly* in Khandaq and getting his bearings, so it makes sense for him not to necessarily be up to some scheme that requires he be stopped. Yet. And while he is brutal to his enemies, I think it's not unreasonable to Black Adam on his first outing as caring about the land that his home has become. I'd imagine for the Lex Luthor analogy, it'd be like if we got the movie LUTHOR, following Lex as he takes the reigns of Lex corp, building up his ambitions while defining his motivations, and simultaneously building up a dislike of Superman, whose actions could be largely in the background. It wouldn't need to focus on Lex as a villain, because I doubt he sees himself as the villain of his own story, even if some of his actions are of nebulous morality at best.

[@kingol4801]

That is not how it works, but ok. Lex does not have any presence, except for Superman-related comics. Black Adam is far more independent than that. He is it’s own thing, except an occasional Shazam tie in here and there.

[@lukesenter1559]

You hit the nail on the head. There should never have been a Black Adam movie before having him be the villain of Shazam. The Rock is the reason why Black Adam wasn’t the villain of EITHER Shazam movie so it’s really his fault that Shazam wasn’t better, Shazam 2 was bad, and Black Adam didn’t work. Characters like Black Adam can ONLY work as an “anti-hero” if he gets to be a true villain first. Also “anti-heroes” are just bullshit anyway. Let the heroes be good and villains be bad.

[@ChaChaDubs]

This should have been rated R. As a Black Adam fan, I will tell you that this version diverges greatly from both his modern and Bronze Age comic book counterpart. But in many ways that’s a good thing. It’d be hard to root for a man who killed his nephew to gain more power. It’d be hard to root for a man who took the world to war and spared neither the innocent or the guilty. I feel like if they would have gone the Joker route and showed his villainous origins but also showed why became that way it would have felt more earned. Or if he was the one who killed his family but on accident because he couldn’t control his powers as they weren’t meant for him. He’s not pure of heart. He’s done many irredeemable things. Still, he’s the anti-villain/antihero you root for sometimes. I love this character for the same reason uce loves the character. As a Brown kid seeing this Brown man go toe to toe with powerhouses and protect his people without mercy was something I had never seen before. I was hoping to see more of him but seeing him on the big screen was a dream come true.

[@SerathDarklands]

Speaking of the one true Bond, you should totally cover Brosnan's four Bond films. And all of them, honestly. Should be a good way to fill any content droughts.

[@0ptera]

I'd be on board for more Black Adam. It was so refreshing seeing him cut loose.

[@KR-P]

“Kneel or die” was both hilarious and epic. Hilarious because as a viewer we know Teth won’t kneel. Daunting because of the whopping that proceeds to come mainly from the wizard.

[@SerathDarklands]

5:58 - This scene made me think of Hoji's line in _Shadow Warrior 2013_ - "Good idea! We should stick to the lack of plan."

[@holybananapeel3795]

Dude you should do Nobody, as a kinda nod to John Wick 4 being out, despite having to in-universe connection whatsoever

[@questioningespecialy9107]

I watched this video on Nebula earlier today and decided shortly after to watch the movie. Thanks. It was enjoyed more than expected. Also, Atom Smasher and Black Atom's last interaction goes back to the comics.

[@Woodskov451]

I love your channel cinemawins been bingewatching most videos but I'm sad there's no Enemy at the gates. Can you make a video on it?

[@MonoChronicleOfficial]

Pierce Brosnan as Fate is the best casting decision in the history of ever.

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

Fitting that '90s 007: Pierce Brosnan starred in a film with Dwayne Johnson as Johnson's grand-father fought '60s 007: Sean Connery in *You Only Live Twice.*

[@jakeringold1]

Yo I love your videos and I can’t wait for each new entry, but can you please review a film that’s not a action or superhero or straight up kids movie? I like those films too but I wanna know your thoughts on movies like Interstellar, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner/Blade Runner: 2049, just think about opening up your library of films to talk about, it would be awesome to see that but either way I love your videos and I can’t wait for the next one!

[@rhaegartargaryen9315]

He used too earlier, now it’s only the movies which would generate more views and money.

[@jakeringold1]

@@rhaegartargaryen9315 ya it’s a bummer cause I love these videos just not constantly on superhero and animated films

[@MidasMakeItRain]

I mean, Dr. Fate has always been the helmet, not the person who wears it, as far as I'm aware.

[@tomassevcik5219]

Any chance we get a video on Gentlemen by Guy Richie?

[@WouldYouKindlyNot]

Always appreciate a wins video. Unfortunately the Rock was apparently a real Diva when it came to this movie, he didn't even want Zachary Levi to cameo in it. He practically said he doesn't want Black Adam to be associated with Shazam. Which is confirmed by the fact that they used the same story elements, but completely retconned Shazam. Shazam said that Black Adam released the Seven Deadly Sins on the world, the Sins then killed the Wizards. But Black Adam just straight up changes that and says Adam killed them when they tried to imprison him. So Rock literally didn't care about the Shazam story. Plus, i found this movie fairly boring because you can clearly see The Rocks "no losing fight" clause. He literally never loses. In fact, this movie has ALL THE PROBLEMS that the scourges of internet SAID CAPTAIN MARVEL HAD. So I'm salty about that. Anyway, hope Glass Onion is winned soon!

[@erichfiedler1481]

Judging by the image for the next video, it's happening, personally I wanna see a win video on Sonic 2

[@philipvipond2669]

Christopher Judge would have been absolutely perfect for this role. Rock has his moments, but the characterization here is pure Teal'c.

[@secretagenttau2233]

I actually really enjoyed the movie. It was fun and a good time

[@lainwakura]

“He’s alive?!” Doctor Fate isn’t a person, it’s a helmet.

[@tafarithehooligan]

16:22 "my emotions!!!!" he said in troy barnes

[@simonblackwell3576]

15:08 or Tim curry from the wild thornberry’s, that smashing haunts my dreams

[@Saje3D]

MCU heroes kill ALL the time. Not as deliberately as Adam, but still… the fellow Cap kicked off the side of the ship in Winter Soldier didn’t walk it off. No one rescued all those Kree on the ships Carol Danvers smashed to pieces. If you count aliens, they’ve pretty much all killed somebody. Teth Adam isn’t all that much more ruthless than Nat. DC has heroes who won’t/can’t kill, but it’s seen as darker or more grounded. Which is weird.

[@Saimeren]

11:15 I hate that neither Teth Frank or Fate zipped in when the barrier was down and do away with them in a split second. either one 100% could have in that instant.

[@tjay266]

You should breakdown the American assassin. It’s a really good movie with underrated actor Dylan obrien

[@adamruiz3683]

Was this movie perfect? Not really. Did it have some problems. Definitely. Did I enjoy every minute of it and have a blast while watching it? You're goddamn right I did. I don't care what anyone says, I love this movie so much.

[@petrusspinelli6661]

I liked the movie, but yeah that whole "yeah he's so dark and edgy and willing to do evil, he's better than all of you old fashion heroes!" kinda threw me off. I know it's more complicated than that but it just doesn't feel right to root for the guy who likes killing his enemys sure, sometimes there is no other option, but he just jumps to murder without a second thought, and that's what makes him better...? nah, what makes him better is * inserts full list of invincible super-powers * and also his theme music. god that theme music is so good.

[@tafarithehooligan]

14:08 "the implication" he said in dennis reynolds

[@dorianwilde6939]

Ha ha ha! I always love your content. Love you that much more knowing that you know Carmen from The L Word-- I wanted her and Shayne to work too!!!

[@averymerrick]

Take That, Scrappy!: Ishmael/SABBAC isn't the most compelling Big Bad the DCEU has come up with, but the sight of Black Adam *splitting his head open followed with desecrating Ishmael's heritage by destroying the throne of Kahndaq feels very satisfying.*

[@kingol4801]

That is why he was used appropriately - using a better character as a mini-villain ( in terms of screen time) would be a waste. So, they used him as a stepping stone there and it went splendidly

[@folarinosibodu]

8:21 How could you not comment on the best part of the film...the growing of the giant man guy

[@malsnakamoto]

Recognizing the cuneiform they used, I hope my Ancient Cultures lecturer is proud of me.

[@dagodowl7752]

whats next weeks video? im honestly struggling to fihure out the frame

[@louisberry4403]

Wish we got Johnson's Adam Vs Cavill's Supes And Levi's Shazam.

[@master-of-many-fandoms2020]

YES! I was wondering if you would do this. I love this movie.

[@tempestx13]

Going into this movie I wasn't expecting a lot but the supes credit scene was a welcomed surprise even though its not a thing anymore. the thing that wasn't the best were the would be emotional hits that amon and the people of kandaq had at the end which felt too weird and undeserved since we spent most of the time with BA and the JSA, I know the people were overcoming their oppressors, but i didnt feel the stakes behind it. I say keep the parent/child thing going for one more movie and make it Bullet Train. My only justification is with 'The Elder', 'The Father', and the fathers little boy relationship throughout the movie. I just wanna see all of the wins you can come up with

[@jkasta3547]

Black Adam is supposed to be a bad guy. He kills his nephew (the champion) who shares his powers with his dying uncle (teth adam), and takes all the powers to himself.

[@samanthajune]

I love cinema wins because sometimes I want to watch movie reviews that celebrate the good, not absolutely rip into the movie for over thirty minutes. Movies are meant to be fun! Even if they have flaws.

[@davidthirugnanakumar7888]

Tbh this movie felt like an IA write it and direct it
