Shazam! Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Shazam! (SPOILERS!)

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!

It’s funny - the producer guy is actually pretty smart when questioning the scripts - aside from his obvious flaw of letting everything slide 😂

I really hope Ryan’s back is fine after carrying this channel

-Is this a horror movie or a kids movie?
-Both, sometimes, when I feel like it, Idk
-Maybe you should, you know, pick a thing.
-No.
-Well okay then.

I gotta give major credit that, after just SO MANY of these things, all basically the same idea but with different movies, he STILL finds new jokes to make and new gimmicks to laugh at!
Way to go, RG!

But seriously, as a former foster kid kudos to Shazam for showing an accurate but also somewhat positive representation of foster care and foster kids <3

“There you go”
Is absolute gold

Glad someone mentions it, its two different characters. He has a completely different personality as Shazaam. People are so focused on the goofy Shazaam they dont care that there is no attempt to match him to the kid at all.

Having two "super easy, barely an inconvenience" in one video is tight!

"Those aren't bullies. Those are literal psychopaths."

Exactly! It's amazing the number of movies that show seriously violent psychopaths with no one calling the authorities on criminals that belong in jail because that's what Hollywood pretends are bullies for the sake of drama.
