The Wizard's biggest mistake was trying to choose a person who was pure of heart. Billy actually tells him that this is impossible. No-one is pure, no-one is 100% good. You simply find people who are close and hope they rise to the challenge.

[@BananasonPickles]

everyone makes mistakes

[@GrimlockGuy34]

I think Billy was worthy because when then Wizard said he chose Billy as champion, Billy didn’t feel he deserved it. He turned down power, which shows that it wouldnt corrupt him like it did with Sivana or Black Atom

[@lightsmight6232]

Black Adam*

[@nanq.5689]

I think Billy was comparatively more mature than most of the other candidates. He understood that nobody’s perfect, and that no one can really be the wizard’d champion. However, through his growth in the movie, we see him embrace his faults and overcoming it.

[@hermionetobias1766]

[@leftbower1023]

Yea that part bugged the heck outta me. Wish the bus fell on its side, would've been a little more believable

[@jorgegomezespinosa8192]

That's because Shazam has really similar powers to Superman, let me explain. Superman creates a sort of field around his body (probably at cellular level) that he can extend to other objects, allowing him, to give an example, to grab a falling plane from its nose without breaking it. Assuming that Shazam has that same ability, he extended the same field not only to the glass, but the bus

[@ForEternia]

@@jorgegomezespinosa8192 I had the same feelings about the glass window at first. But you bring up a good point. It's just like Superman's suit. It's indestructible so long as he is wearing it.

[@meniiix]

My favorite part is how Freddy says most people wish to be invisible. Later he tells Billy he is invisible to him and everyone else when Billy let's him down. I think Freddy subconsciously makes his invisibility a sorta power to not feel powerless. Then when he gets the Shazam powers he instantly flies. Showing he is actually powerful if they see him for who he really is.

"Changed his name to avoid confusion." *Ha!* It's because Marvel sued DC over the name!

[@trendingnews9003]

B. SR Marvel got pissed that DC capitalized their name. Before Marvel can even file a lawsuit, DC backtracked. In fact, Marvel was so jealous of the Shazam success that they decided to use the name Captain Marvel name for themselves. The Captain Marvel comics didn't became popular. In the next coming decades after 1972, especially during the 90's the Shazam comics slowed down but it maintained its relevancy. Captain Marvel was never a hard hitter in Marvel but in the 2000s, it gained traction.

[@scoople6]

I think Billy Batson would have given into the eye of sin. I think the idea is that the council thought they found the perfect champion, but he wasn't perfect and he betrayed them. So they spent however many years looking for someone completely flawless, completely perfect, but the thing is... the perfect person doesn't exist! And they never will. Nobody is perfect and no life is perfect but you can't worry about that and you just have to work with what you got. I think it's a great message for the film considering Billy's flawed family life, Freddy's disability, and Dr. Sivanas rich but abusive family. It's not about what you have, it's about what you do with it.

When Sivana gets cut by the Batarang I thought about the quote Batman says to Superman in BVS "Can you bleed?" Batman in that scene was holding a Kryptonite spear to Superman and cut his cheek to reveal that he isn't invulnerable and can be beat. Same in this scene with Shazam.

[@briandouglasahern7067]

I don't believe that the wizard Shazam chose Billy merely out of desperation. I think he saw the purity in Billy that, despite his faults, would allow him to become a good champion and a genuine hero. The Seven Deadly Sins had made their escape with Sivana, but if the wizard had just "settled" for the next candidate who came along, he could be just throwing more fuel on the fire or worse, creating a second Black Adam. And note at what point the wizard selected Billy. It was only after he stood up for his foster brother Freddy by taking on two bullies who had him outclassed in terms of size and strength alone. Had Billy walked away and left Freddy to take a beating, I doubt the wizard would want anything to do with him. But since Billy behaved like a hero in that moment, stepping in to help the defenseless Freddy, that could well be what alerted the wizard to Billy Batson as the best candidate to become the champion of Shazam. Remember that the wizard didn't say, "I call upon you" or even "I settle for you". He said, "I choose you." True, it would have been better if he had found Billy sooner, before Sivana freed the 7 Sins, but better late than never. To make a short story long--No, Billy would never be tempted by the Eye of Sin. It goes against all that he is.
