Needs more pixels.

Definitely.

Frosty is an awful writer and interviewer. Good god...

Anybody know if they’re still on track for a Black Adam solo of do you think they’ll incorporate him in a sequel?

It will depend on how well Shazam does.

I honestly think Black Adam will have some sort of cameo or at least he hinted at in the Shazam movie. Whether that’s in the main film or a mid/post credits sequence.

It would be a HUGE missed opportunity if The Rock doesn't show up in a quick cameo right before the closing scenes or the bonus scene. Audiences will go nuts

Don't know, as far as official announcement, nothing said it's canceled, so it's more than likely still on, and if SHAZAM! does well, it should get fast tracked, Dwayne Johnson's busy scheduled allowing.
As far as speculation, also think it's a given Black Adam will be the end credit reveal, (Sivana having unlocked whatever magic was holding Adam prisoner). setting up for the Black Adam solo, and eventual sequel where they face off.

Does DanielRPK even have a reputable...reputation, anyway? Seems he's very hit and miss with some conceding that 'Yeah, he gets some stuff wrong...but he can be right, too!'

He was quite reliable and start building reputation since a few years ago. He's getting things right still, but also misses.

Plus he's very vocal, even got WB's attention when he was leaking Shazam trailer #2 description (some of it matches the sneak peek material) and was asked to delete that article.
So, if someone said that WB person decided to mess with him (also waiting for the Oscar talks dry down a bit) and tried to find the insider leaker so they planted false info or delayed the trailer, I could see it.

I read some of his interaction tweets and he's actually pretty nice. But his attitude rubs some people the wrong way it seems. Especially after started a Patreon account and then promotes it around for more scoops.

(He's talking about Shazam! and Us.)
Don't know much about KR but various people said he was right for many things before.
ViewerAnon is somewhat a legend in DC leak sub Reddit after JL leaks and he verified the true Aquaman test screening audience amongst all of the fanfic threads.

Salt shaker ready folks, but still a nice, welcomed positivity.

Agree. And the sight of The Rock will make people talk. Create some noises and hype between two Marvel release.

 

[BH/HHH]

I have very little respect for Daniel RPK. I think what he did with the Shazam trailer was really disrespectful and the whole patreon thing rubs me the wrong way too.

People would let him go far more easily for wrong scoops if he wasn't too cocky about some of it or has Patreon. There are people who paid him for right scoops, so every wrong info crumbles his reputation harder than scoopers who don't have Patreon.

If he want the Patreon money, I'm actually fine with that (although I didn't participate). Some are willing to donate too. But he must know the risks are far greater than before and they expected high accuracy.

And I think he knew, he apologized for this recent mishap, gave away infos he's holding and such. But I think people will talk about it for a long time and bring it up often.

In Black Adam movie, there's a great opportunity to include the origins of Hawkman (Egyptian prince Khufu) and Hawkwoman, also Vandal Savage can make a cameo in that.

Yeah, i actually thought about that, i remember i saw some leak photos on a youtube video that matched some of the info that was leaked, i even posted the video here but got some backlash for spoiling stuff so i erased my post lol

And to be fair, i went to his Patreon account and almost all the description of the stuff posted there are leaks, if people wants to pay for that stuff is them choice, i wouldnt pay for that stuff but if people are doing it is because they think it's worth it and get excited about this, i dont see nothing wrong with it, it's not like he's forcing people to do it

It feels so good to hear positive things about DC movies again.

I hope not.
While those are great properties that absolutely need to be developed.
Here they seems unnecessarily convoluted, Hawkman & Hawkwaman need their own origin, (and off topic (lets not make this the Hawkman thread) but I'd tie the Hawks to their Alien Thangar origin, and make ancient Egypt only one of a long line of their incarnations, and other than a random symbol on a wall, use nothing, that's way to loaded and distracting and specific to work into Teth-Adam's origin), which is mostly magic based anyway)

And I'd disconnect from Egypt all together, and make Kahndaq an absolutely made up nondescript fantasy ancient civilization, with slight references and nods to many, (so it feels slightly realistic) but not specifically to any one. So they can bring in all the whimsy and fantasy necessary.
Otherwise what they will get is a bunch of people ranting about skin color, ethnicity, historical inaccuracy and broadcasting every offense under the sun, instead of talking about the actual film.

 

[Micromind]

Wasn't Black Adam an Egyptian slave before gaining powers and becoming ruler of Kandhaq ?

like I said they need to disconnect form that, and make it a made up place.

(here we go)

Disconnecting it serves to dilute his back-story, rising from ranks of slaves who were oppressed, which was one of the reasons why Teth Adam wanted powers, and later on why he wanted to be a ruler of a country.

His rise and fall, it is a story of a person who faced slavery and revolted against it, to the one who supported it when he became the ruler.

Edit: And in New 52, the powers of Black Adam come from Egyptian gods, so we cannot let go of that setting.

 

[COCOS]

this whole trailer drama is weird, its pretty clear its was suppose to drop last week with the sneek peek & the set visits..,i really wonder what's happened

superbowl is next week, i bet marvel and disney will drop some gem...and keep the buzz days after

WB is playin with fire ,really

 

[Breogan]

He was originaly the corrupt ruler of Egypt, then Kahndaq was made up after to disconnect him from that, and have him rule over a more nondescript place.

Yeah they don't have to mention Egypt specifically for any of that. Have it all part of the made up Kahndaq
Like I said they can use Kahndaq a more nondescript nonspecific place, and convey the same beats.

Edit: And in New 52, the powers of Black Adam come from Egyptian gods, so we cannot let go of that setting.

That predates the N52 version, and was a non-original Bronze-Age addition, they can sub for anything, how many know these specific deities. LOL!

queue people going it was the most important thing about him, when they haven't heard of a single one of those,.

No they really aren't.

And fwiw ViewerAnon had proven to be legit. If they say it was screened and went well I would bet on it.

 

[Patchwork Man]

WB needs to absolutely jump on making a Hawkman/Hawkworld movie. As evidenced by Aquaman, making NEW STUFF is the ticket.
