After many years of development, Shazam has joined the DCEU! Billy Batson gets chosen by a wizard to take on the mantle of Shazam and develops the ability to turn into a full-grown superhero. The movie is a ton of fun, but definitely raises a lot of questions. Like what’s up with the bullies being absolute psychopaths? Why is the villain so generic? Why was it so easy for Billy’s mom to just abandon him? Why was the Shazam family so good with their powers?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Shazam! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

[@hylianchriss]

I know! Or at LEAST go get a teacher! They are literally trying to break someone's arms or even trying to kill some kid, in some movies! The movie tries to play it off like all the bystanders are scared of the bullies and are afraid to snitch, but SERIOUSLY it's not like they're giving someone a wedgie, in some movies they follow their victims home from school and are prepared to murder them! At the very least tell your teacher xD

[@jordan999fire]

I don't know how old y'all are or where you go to school but I just graduated high school and went to a public school in the South and the bullies on these movies are pretty accurate. We had 4 or 5 people get sent to prison for murder, in our school parking lot if you parked in someones spot your tires might get slashed or your car damaged in some way, we had a guy beat up a special ed kid in the hall, we had fights in the cafeteria a lot which ended with blood everywhere, we had a girl smack another girl across the face with a lunch tray, and we had someone stab someone else in school. Bullies are psychos now adays.

Not waiting for everyone to see is tight!

[@SohiHien]

well a bunch of people have seen it already since they did an advanced screening in theaters 2 weeks ago. I saw it then.

[@ronineditor9920]

3:20 -- EXACTLY it... lol. I always pre-watch films before showing my kids and I was like, okay, this is going to be awesome for them... then WHOA... WTF!!!!!! People's heads getting eaten off, bodies thrown, melted down to the skeleton, etc. The hell!

[@Ben-rz9cf]

I actually really liked Shazam, it was the first DC movie i actually enjoyed

[@dan_hitchman007]

You haven't seen Superman: The Movie with Christopher Reeve, have you? The best of the bunch.

[@bikimbrown1545]

And you my frirnd are the reason Super Hero movies have become cash grabs. As long as people enjoys them that's all that matters.

[@silentlamb21]

@@bikimbrown1545 Shazzam is pretty decent. thats not exactly a niche statement either. It was very well received.

[@bikimbrown1545]

@Mervin alexander Shazaam was bogus 👎. It was another recycled movied. If u watch enough movies u will see they are all pretty much the same exact movie.

[@psl6145]

Am I the only one who didn't really mind the CGI on the Sins? I think they looked fine.

[@nirast2561]

Some more color variance would've been nice, but I agree otherwise. That uncanny valley look they have gives them an otherworldly vibe that really works for them.

[@793ism]

i didnt mind them, but there are those that would dismiss this cgi but complain about the cgi in Justice League

[@Sener]

I think they looked great, way better than Doomsday in BvS in fact. Maybe they're worse budget wise, but the designs are SO much better that I don't care about whether it cost more to CGI Doomsday.

[@Sener]

@@793ism That's because of the design. Justice League's designs are really, really boring.

[@giealcmso4770]

I liked the design of the Winged-demon Sin..

[@SPMNDK89]

Also another comic book villain essentially playing the same role for two DC properties was John Glover, in Smallville he was Lionel Luthor, the asshole dad that never thought highly of his son leading him to become a superhero's counterpart villain and in Shazam he was an asshole dad that never though highly of his son leading him to a become a supervillain...

[@shawnparkspost]

Seriously. As soon as I saw John Glover, I was like "this kid is definitely the villain."

Mark Strong was also a comic book villain in Kick-Ass :)

Can you guys do *The Purge Trilogy* Pitch meeting. Or any Purge movie.

[@mj6258]

Pitch meetings are easily my favourite comedy videos , never ever fail to make me lose it laughing. 👍

[@tyredsauce]

When Ryan starts talking and it's still lingering on the door you can tell how thick his beard is based on his voice alone.

"Wow wow wow wow" New phrase please!

[@sikdavies2211]

Legit choked on my spliff when Ryan went super dark about the whole demon office scene 😂😂😂😂

[@yourmum69_420]

best scene imo

[@gorrow1990]

I’m excited for Ryan to roast the Shazam sequel. “So then every superhero in Philadelphia besides Billy is going to have their powers taken away and he’s going to have to go to the final battle alone.” “Oh wow. That’s going to be a huge moment.” And we could actually put that in the trailers to really emphasize that moment.” “Are you sure spoiling a huge aspect of the movie is a good idea?” “Yeah, it’s probably fine. I have full confidence in this marketing campaign. And we‘ll make sure to schedule it for a release date that doesn’t come immediately after a major blockbuster sequel to a movie that made over $2.7 billion is released.”

No wait, this is how you do burnout, let's be slightly less rabid fans. Logs for the fire, not pokers! A breathable rhythm. Otherwise it reminds me of his "first fiction ever" video. "More. More please. More right now."

"He gets the biggest wedgie." Judging by the bullies they probably beat him with a sledgehammer

[@liamyoung458]

[@kaeptnstyle4844]

I just love how they picked Maisie Williams to play the kid version of Shazam.

I clicked faster than you could say..... SHAZAM!

[@TylerBluTheConqueror777]

SHAZAM!

[@tdjones7524]

This might be the best pitch yet. It's up there with The Last Jedi.

[@therealwilldalbey]

I always stick with the idea that the guy breaking into his lair and stealing the thing kind of made the old shazam have to rush his plan, meaning that he had to choose someone fast. It just so happened that Billy was the next person on his list. Besides, the test involved the thing that was stolen.

[@feenix219]

Ryan nailed it. I couldn't get over the characterization of Captain marvel as a weirdo goofball, and not a serious but sometimes naieve hero with wisdom and courage.

[@SensationalBanana]

That "Wow wow wow wow!" is just pure comedy gold!

[@vivalapaul]

I think they were great with their powers at the end because it was a drastic situation. They reacted the same way Billy did when he was hit with a drastic situation.

[@pitui1987]

Kliché Krazy Also, they fought one Sin at a time, which was 1/7 of Sivana’s power level for the majority of the fighting.

[@heatherreagan8078]

He actually did a pretty good villain for this. The problem with Green Lantern wasn't really the acting, but the script that kept him going back and forth from Earth to space and back again.

[@ohitsrusher842]

If they didn't say something about moms he would've literally let the disabled kid be beat he shouldn't be considered anywhere near 'pure of heart'

[@rayflyers]

Stumbling upon random acts of violence is super easy, barely an inconvenience. ...wait, what does that say about our society?

[@jmchez]

That Hollywood takes every violent act that we read in the papers from New York, LA, Chicago and Miami and puts them all in one town.
