wellsy, I understand your perfectionism; I also understand the whitebread origin of The Red Cheese.
I have always felt that the whole story of Shazam should have stayed with the Egyptian aspect of Shazam.
Shazam, Black Adam, Isis, Captain Marvel, and Mary Marvel should be of Egyptian descent (IMHO).
The “whitebread”ness of Shazam’s Captain Marvel always felt tack on to me.
Now to be true to the old relic of a story dated "WAY WAY back,back,back" in the 40’s, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is NO Captain Marvel.
Personally, I think the STUDIO has an OUTSTANDING / BRILLANT ideal of modernizing said character and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson fit the bill perfectly.
