    Tonally it wasn't consistent and the JSA just suddenly existing in the universe apropos of nothing for the express purpose of jobbing to The Rock made any time they were on screen feel like a huge waste. Then the bad guy being a generic CGI demon was kinda lame.

    >what went wrong
    The character is literally just The Rock, no different than every other character he plays

    >what went right?
    Used established MCU tropes to be a safe decent success.

    >wrong
    Race swaps, anti-hero/anti-villain black Adam, old Kent just to kill him off and eventually introduce another race swap with Khalid, modern day with no justice league showing up for some reason, the rock sucks, lackluster soundtrack, Sarah shahi never got naked (that’s a joke but the rest is genuine)

    >right
    Not much at all. JSA could have been swapped with the shazam family (even if I hate the entire idea of Johns’ shazam family replacing the traditional trio) and it would have made more sense. Genuinely nothing about this movie was notably good.

      But that's accurate? Teth Adam is a hero to his people, but a fricking monster to the rest of the world

        Sounds like Johns fanfic revisionism. “His people” are the ones that nicknamed him “Black” Adam because of how evil he was.

          That was back when he first started conquering the ancient world. Modern Kandaq worships him like a god with cult-like commitment because before they were a 3rd world hellhole. And no that's not Johns you rent free moron

          This is such a bad take, Even though Johns made him more Morally ambiguous he still wrote him as a villain

            Oh frick you you absolute homosexual. That’s simply not true. By the time Johns was done he was absolutely one step away from some hack like Bendis making him a JL member.

              He made Adam a mass killer. Hell to your notion that Johns would have put him on JL is unfounded and even had Sinestro and Black Adam laugh at that exact notion during Forever Evil.

              Listen I get you want to blame Johns for whatever but if you are going to don’t make up shit

              Nice goalpost move, you disingenuous homosexual. Teth Adam is like Sinestro, a villain that thinks himself the hero of his own story. Johns knew this, and kept him as such. You don't even know what you're talking about, and let blind autistic hatred blind you

                Not that anon who posted the image, and that's not an argument, sir. What was said that was wrong by the way? Black Adam isn't a good guy, and Johns never made him out to be one even when he briefly worked with the JSA

                Also while I don’t blame you for big reading the magiclands story because johns cannot write Cap at all he all but redeems black Adam in it and set him up to be a hero. No go have a nice day and stop shilling a washed up hack like Geoff Johns.

                Why double down on this when you’re wrong? He concluded the magiclands storyline with billy rezzing him after he sacrificed himself. Jfc shut the frick up you absolute fool.

    I heard a rumor they want to bring Fate back, not as a recast. Maybe a younger version at worst?

    its kind of weird to have hawkman, the vicious warrior who uses weapons specifically made to bash brains and cannot be used in a non lethal context whatsoever, to be the “heroes dont kill guy”.

      It really feels like he was Mister Terrific really early in the script and then they didn’t think he was marketable enough and changed the character to Hawkman

      It's kind of weird that they had both Hawkman and Doctor Fate, but didn't have their past incarnations be the ones to imprison Adam for easy plot convenience and conflict.

    Felt like a stardard cbm but with much cooler action scenes. Would have been better if it were rated R.

    On the good side: they did not hold back on how bloody Adam could get.
    They didn’t reign him at all. Mofo even pulled a Shao Khan fatality.

    Black Adam was never redeemed. Johns had him murder innocent men, women and children because they were born in the wrong country. He literally murdered babies.
