Shazam deserves more love, I hope DC finally gives him the ongoing he deserves soon

Hal is my favorite superhero

Arthur's been my boy for around 5 years.

His movie will be family-friendly and simplistic, and so audiences will love it and he'll be a huge character again.

The one and only ture hero of Marvel. "Stormin" Norman Osborn.

Can't tell if you're taking a jab at the character or not.

>>88979146
I'm not, and I'm sure the movie will be great, I'm taking a jab at audiences that will continue to reject superheroes that aren't lighthearted and family-friendly.

I predict the movie will be such a success Marvel will be one of DC's most popular characters.

It's the times man, people are sheep what can you say? Same way people used to get fucking pissed because anything lighthearted used to get insulted, it's switched around, that being said it is frustrating to deal with such people...

>>88979297
This is also a good point, if MCU put out the exact same movie as any DC flick it would be praised to high heaven by shilling sheep as being a fresh of breath air

In any case my favorite super hero is Spider-Man and he will never have a good movie and possibly never a good comic again, Spider-Man will always sell and be popular to kids so people don't even feel like they have to try with him or characters related to him and that's fucking annoying

I'm a Flash fan. It doesn't matter which one. I like them all in their own ways. Jay's stories are golden age science cheese at its best. Barry's original run is possibly the greatest collection of "out-there" comics ideas ever and the superhero genre would be extremely different without it. I also like how human he is without being a fucking downer all the time. Wally has a lot of heart and, only beat out by Dick, might have the best legacy stories in all of DC. Bart didn't get the time to develop, but his time as Impulse is still fantastic.

I wish Flash hadn't gotten caught up in power levels bullshit. That's all anyone ever wants to talk about with him now. I also wish Geoff Johns hadn't made Flash Rebirth because that dead mom shit is going to stick for the next 30 years and Wally didn't deserve to be shelved so unceremoniously.

Oh god yes. That shit utterly ruined Flash. I try my best to retain the good stories as headcanon and utterly ignore the bad stuff but it's hard sometimes.

And I totally agree with Rebirth. Barry's a great character but I don't think he needs to be the end-all be-all. Each Flash has their merits.... well, except maybe Bart but that's not really his fault since he got fried 13 issues in. He's way better as Impulse anyway.

I suppose I'd have felt different if I was reading Wally's stories before Rebirth, but I'm a huge Johns fag and Flash: Rebirth was one of the things that got me into Flash, and not just Barry, but Wally and Jay too.

I get that people prefer some over another but I like Barry and Wally almost the same. I feel the same about the Earth Lanterns too, to a certain extent. I get people have strong preferences but it weirds me out to see Wallyfags that hate Barry or Kyle/Johnfags that hate Hal or vice versa.

Barry's probably my favorite if I had to pick. But I'm about to go finish reading some Wally stories by Millar and Morrison.

When he gets his fucking name back.
So never.

I like both Wally and Barry (and I've got quite the soft spot for Jay), but growing up with Wally has a tendency to make one biased; JLU, comics, and all.

Us Wallyfags just gotta remember that without Barry, there'd be no Wally. In any case, I was going to read more silver age kookiness with Barry. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the CW show, at least it's raising awareness of the Flash, all of them.

>>88979790

it ruined the flash family and they have yet to recover but Johns literally becoming Zolomon is so fucking funny to me

power level discussions about the flash are the lowest form of /co/ discussions

He'll always be Captain Marvel to me. Drunken whats-her-face be damned.

>>88978254
Honestly I think one issue is that he's quite similar to Supes and I can't see DC wanting to punch holes in one of their flagships. If it was why Martian Manhunter vanished off into limbo as well I wouldn't be surprised.

>>88981019
>Drunken whats-her-face be damned

She's actually a "second-gen" character, the Miles or Silk or Spider-Woman or what have you, to the original Marvel Comics version, who was a guy.

>>88983085
Yeah, but Marvel is hellbent on pushing Carol atm.

I really dig Shazam, but I'll always be a big fan of Spider-Man. I'm a little annoyed with Peter's position in the main line of comics, but "Renew Your Vows" has been pretty good so far. I'm hoping the new movie will be good. I've enjoyed Tom Holland, but I hope the films get more serious as time goes on. Still quippy, but I want to see a transition from campy to "holy fucking shit dude". Vulture>Mysterio>Kraven/Scorpian>Venom/Gobby.

>>88978254
When faggots like you stop calling him Shazam. FUCK off

>>88979462

It should had been an Earth one book, just forcing that was terrible

>>88978254
Anyone got some Shazam suggestions? Already read Monster Society of Evil.
