His son's love and his willingness to protect the people of Kahndaq, especially giving his powers to his father is understandable. Black Adam's rage for the death of his family is understandable as well. And him feeling unworthy to be called the 'champion' of Kahndaq is understandable too.
In his son’s defense he wanted to save his father from death so I doubt the power he gain was suppose to be permanent, but kid got killed right away before can get it back
He was dying and his son couldn’t save the mom but he thought he could save his dad. Honestly parents can’t stand to lose their kids before them but it works the other way around too
"It was pretty cool to have Uli Latukefu, who plays a younger version of The Rock in Young Rock, to play as Black Adam's son in this scene." Thank me later.
I thought Teth Adam was just a normal person. But some people killed his family members. The last surviving members were him and his nephew. The wizards granted both of them of the Shazam powers. The nephew wanted to save Kahndaq's people from those evil people, be the hero and bring peace. But Teth chose the way of vengeance and he believed that vengeance is the only way to peace. So, he purposely killed his own nephew, took 2x of the powers and killed all the people who killed his family. Because of his blind rage, he was captured into his prison for so many years.
I think this origin makes more sense since a vengeful person would not be given the powers of the gods that easily, but given by a champion who was already chosen.
Comic version was FAR less altruistic. It was not his son that got the powers, but his nephew. His nephew didn't just give him all his powers, but split them between them. But Adam thought he was too idealistic and tricked his nephew into powering up Adam while he intercepted the lightning intended for his nephew, then killed him. So uh... kinda hard to root for that version of the guy.
Exactly why you're not supposed to deviate from the source material too much Apparently this kind of thing is too dark for a movie and tell a cohesive interesting story with a villain, that's why it's basically a kids movie version we got with a tame antihero
Well its cos The Rock especially in more recent years just plays the same version of him everywhere. Big guy, with a big heart. He cant really do villains, cept for Get Smart. He wants to be Superman, this is the closest he will ever get to it.
@@Irfan87 i agree with that. He can play only one role. He does a good job at that role, granted, and it does wonders for his reputation (ALL my students know “The Rock”) but it’s still just one role. Would love to see him try something else.
@Irfan87 yeah, he just kinda plays himself in different fonts and with different prompts for every movie he's in. At this point I wouldn't exactly call him an actor, he doesn't do much acting
Despite this movie not being a perfect movie, I still like this change to the comic origin. After all, to give an unworthy and vengeful person the powers of a god would be a disaster, but having someone else give them to him makes more sense. This is how you think like a smart comic/movie writer.
@@sethxtekken It was. Both sides were trying as hard. Ironically, Black Adam still grossed more than every DC film released after Aquaman (2018) outside of China, where Black Adam was banned.
Well, Hurut was die almost immediately, because arrow hit at his chest center, straight to the heart. And Teth Adam, the guards maybe toture him and cut, he was diying slower, maybe bleeding, also he can repeat the world Shazam to receive the powers and restore him health, but Hurut NO, Die So Fast.
@@soyitiel Well see the scene slowly, arrow hit at center, that was i think on the chest direct to heart. Teth Adam case, maybe guards torture and cut him, he was bleeding or something like that but slow. And Son gave him power restore all healthy, but Hurut die fast and almost immediately
@@liamloxley1222 I think you misunderstood the scene. It was Huruts decision that his father would live. Plus it was a surprise attack, so it wasn't like Hurut wanted to die. It's also the whole point about what Hurut wanted to be, (which was a hero in the end).
Easily the most powerful and emotional scene from the entire movie. I loved the twist that his son was the OG Shazam. If this movie didn't bomb, it most likely would have been incorporated to Gunn's DCU. With a better writing team, the movie could have been better.
@@abhinavkishoreprasad Because DC back then was literally in free fall. It had no direction and no leadership. You whine about Dwayne everywhere, but James Gunn was trying as hard as him to take over DC. We'll see how his Superman does... I wouldn't be surprised if it grosses lower than Man of Steel.
Dwayne was phenomenal and his back story was outstanding. My only gripe with the movie was the on the nose and out of touch kid and his reckless rebellion theme
Just my two cents: I think they can develop Adam's characterization a bit more before the revelation that he was not who we thought he was. In his past life, Black Adam was either someone who tried to lay low to keep his family out of trouble, or someone who was oppressed to the point of complete batsh*t rage. When he was released in modern day, he did act weird but did not really show traits of someone who has been through what he has been through. He was more calm, showed unexpected compassion and willingness to help a couple of strangers that he just met, stuff that just did not seem to match to what he was before he was imprisoned.
Actually you failed to remember that he had already gotten his revenge and was imprisoned with nothingness. He was frozen just in a closed space til he was released. When he got out he only reacted to what people did to him. He didn't help those strangers for nothing, they helped him and he didn't want that mother to go thru the same thing he went thru. Plus his character ends when he decides to become the protect that country needed.
He did have awkward behaviours, like a god flying around without knowing what to do. But it is understandable, as he has a lot of regret, while the world he knows is long gone, including everyone he knows. There is a part that he says "I am sorry" to the statue of his son because of he fails his son's purpose as a hero. He does not know what he is , what he should be when he wakes up, and that is why he does not care much, and just behaves coldly. And you know, even himself considers his power dangerous, so he does not really tend to blame the wizards for imprisoning him. And he used to be a good father to Hurut, used to be a good person. It is not like he does not want to be a hero like his son, but just that he realizes that he can not be. But still, his purpose is righteous, so he tends to protect people and show compassion. So, to me, this version of Black Adam is actually written good, because all his reactions feel just like a normal human. And all this story, is about a normal person wants to do something right when being gifted godly power, even though he does not see himself a hero.
The background music was great, when I saw the father son scene, I got emotional, that was really sad and powerful at the same time! Great story! DWYANE JOHNSON I love your movies! Thank you for another great performance! I hope to see a Black Adam 2!
Bro, this movie was good. Idk why people didn't like it? I get that Black Adam was always a supervillain and not an Anti-hero. But this version of Black Adam is my favourite. He has a cool backstory at least to make him a perfect anti-hero. But he isn't exactly an Anti-hero too. He is a hero to Kahndaq. But he is also coming towards other cities like Gotham/Metropolis. Superman will stop him then and soon, he will meet Billy and his family.
My main problems: It was built up like it was what everyone wanted. And don’t get me wrong, Black Adam is cool, but we could have got D.Cu’s answer to Venom with this movie. It should be dark, atosmpjeric and give the rock a chance to go back to his roots as playing a villainous character. I also feel this movie didn’t need the Justice society. Maybe Dr Fate or Hawkman, but the rest weren’t needed, this movie should be focused on Black Adam and him fighting Sabaac. There was to much going on, that’s what I’m saying.
actually this is based on the current verison of black adam who's actually a misunderstood anti hero but you are right he was a supervillain in earlier depictions
It's the superhero & DC fatigue in general. Outside of China where Black Adam was banned, it still earned more than every single DC movie released after Aquaman (2018).
I’m a firm believer it takes a special kind of vigilante or hero to handle some evil. You can be all powerful but evil has no bounds and it will use your bystanders, property and even love ones as collateral.(Joker injustice). Had the wizard chose black Adam originally he probably could have saved his son and restored Kahndaq. Sometimes being a noble, and good hero just won’t cut it.
Exactly. And that's what sets Teth-Adam apart from Hawkman during their dispute over taking on Intergang when the former states, _"You think yourself a hero, but you would let these criminals go free, knowing that many more will suffer at their hands unless we end with them now."_
This concept is best demonstrated in Marvel Comics with Mjolnir, Thor's hammer. In order to be worthy, you need to be willing to take the life of another if it is truly necessary and they are a major threat. That's why Spider-Man (one of the most pure-hearted and hero-like characters of all time) would not be worthy and would never be able to lift Mjolnir, despite all his good morals
I wish the film story would focus the main character on how he rises to become black Adam instead of him grouping with other heroes which could have make the story more appreciatable to the audience
He didn't even cooperate with them. He was forced to do it. He wanted to follow his own way. He was acting weird and was on a killing spree. Bro singlehandedly destroyed the biggest gang of Kahndaq that had supernatural weapons that could even hurt Teth. Black Adam defeated Sabbac the demon who killed Dr. Fate.
I really enjoyed this film in cinema, can’t understand, why some people are upset about it, it made Adam more realistic, gives character development, only annoying thing was kid, that was more of a trouble. Much better than new Thor, and Doctor Strange 2
Guess you can say there were multiple things why people were critical with this. 1. The story was a bit dated 2. The annoying kid 3. I also noticed that was an overuse of slow mo. 4. The villain sabbac was kind of wasted 5. The rock played himself again and wanted his own self-contained thing going. 6. Also noticed that the demons were pointless. The only thing that I found consistent that people gave the movie props for was the jsa. I thought it was your average movie, not great, but not bad either.
@@nathanbaker9872 may be you’re right, but for me it was even better than DS 2, only better in 2022 was Spider man, other superhero movies were not that satisfying, but ofc it’s subjective opinion

@@nathanbaker9872 it’s like taste in anything, including food, women, scents etc) For me, DS was kinda Wanda centralised movie, Strange himself few times did things that can be kinda weird, he is strongest wizard after all Also bad cgi, and another annoying kid
This movie was amazing! I have watched it multiple times after seeing it in theatres, and I love The Rock's acting! I wish the Justice Society was given more screen time, but other than that this movie is a 10/10! One of my favourites of all time.
The problem with movies is that they show slaves as bodybuilders and strong.. while in reality slaves used to look very weak despite having strong genes because of malnutrition, too much work and torture
The line from the trailer makes much more sense now Awful how his son died right after he saved him Adam was left with nothing but pain, heartache, hatred, and revenge He’s all powerful but never claimed to be a hero
@@codyatchley2618 I completely disagree about the movie and acting being horrible. Granted, I do agree that the movie wasn't great. However, as far as I am concerned, the movie wasn't terrible in my book.
Black Adam was actually a very good movie. Same with the Venom and Hulk movies, you don't really need a deep character arc or a grammy award story, you just need action scenes because that's what these type of characters bring, good action scenes
I think I'm the only one who hates this change. I liked Teth being more villain than anti-hero, still very much one, but more evil and self-serving. The dude only saves Earth because he believes it is rightfully his for the taking. That is Black Adam. Humans are too weak to be empathize with and spared and not conquered. That is Black Adam. But I get what they're trying to do with him, I just don't think it's as interesting
Great film..I just finished watching it on tubi. I've always liked black Adam since I was younger.. growing up in the 80s 90s reading comics, he's always been on my list of favourites.👍🏻⚡
Yep black adam killed his nephew after his nephew shares a portion of his powers with him because black adam thought he was essentially not good enough to do what had to be done so took all the power
@@cosmicgrub360 That's the best version of Black Adam. He's not meant to be a good guy. He's meant to be the guy willing to do anything to get the job done
@@PermanentHigh as i said before, hes dr doom, he arrogant powerful, a leader of a nation both willing to do whatever they feel is needed for their goals and what they see best, he is smart not as smart as doom science wise but hes smart
The movie is based off the new 52 revised origin of Black Adam, the version you are speaking of is from the Shazam series that came after the comic this film is based on. Both films are comic adaptations but from different series merged into one movieverse. The BA film takes elements from both stories and merges them into one with Shazam taking more from the newer series.
In the new 52 comics, he was the uncle. The nephew was chosen, but blindly loved the uncle. The uncle wanted revenge, while the child wanted peace. He killed his nephew and took the powers to rule as ue saw fit.
This version is damn near an exact representation of the revised Black Adam story from the New 52. They changed a few things but this was actually a pretty faithful adaptation with very good changes. BA was a selfless hero but he still retained a severe no nonsense policy - The Rpck played him perfectly from the comics
Black Adam kills them when they teleported him to them after he killed the king. The wizard Shazam was the only survivor and he managed to imprison Black Adam. It's in the movie but the colors and speed of the action make it hard to see what is happening but BA kills the rest when they summon him.
@@xGhouly ruthless yes but personality of the character he play was dumb, especially been taught by annoying stupid kid. I am sorry for talk like that, but this movie try to make black adam to be like terminator john connor relationship but fail completely. Reason why terminator follow a kid teaching because he was a robot and not have any feelings system at first. But here, teth adam was born as human, he had a son who got killed. And when he meet the kid he should dicipline and belt that kid for troublemaker he did to his mom (take a look how kratos teach atreus)
@@SinarBaru-bp4jx it’s all good 👍🏽 I respect your opinion and honestly I know many black Adam fans or dc fans expected more and changes but it’s okay be happy he got into the big screen! I used to be a die hard critic who just always look at everything in movies but idc no more I just go watch for the vibes and never complain I love movies more than ever without judging you know what I’m saying :)
I cant understand why they gave such a poor rating for a wonderful movie and great actor Dwayne Johnson the make an excellent story cant understand critics
If you arrest evil it will never end. Remember batman and joker. Batman arrest him and he escapes and kills dozens of people and causes mayhem and then he is caught by batman again. Then he escapes and the cycle repeats itself again
Idk why DJ thought he needed to also be the “human” form of Black Adam as well THATS NOT HOW IT IS IN THE COMICS, and he’s like “ I wanna be “true” to the character” nope
@@vgngolley341 No they can't. Black Adam has the powers of the Egyptian Gods. But Billy has the powers of the Greek Gods. So no, they can't and have no reason to interfere.
Bro i dont understand when the little guy gave the powers to his father his father healed right? But why didn't his father give his powers to his son so he can heal himself aswell dude wtf??
They shot the son in the heart, the father was only wounded - big difference. He died immediately. This is clearly exampled in this very scene - I swear that people looking for issues always end up looking the most stupid - like dude this is the very scene that answers your dumb question
Never understood the traditional idea of the Hero=no killing Just because you shouldn’t doesn’t mean you ‘can never’. In Injustice for example, Superman was right. How many innocents would still be alive if Batman actually killed The Joker instead of arresting him? Superman or just a man, one can blame a husband/father for killing his wife/child’s killer. I always thought a real hero was the one who did what no one else was willing to do; make the tough choices…the anti-hero.
Black Adam was a great movie for the DC universe. But alas when DC does anything right they scrap it right away. Man of Steel was the greatest Superman movie ever made yet they never made a sequel.
Genuienly felt black adam would've been a better movie had they used his origin story as the main plot of the film rather than being released from his seal in the modern era
His son's love and his willingness to protect the people of Kahndaq, especially giving his powers to his father is understandable. Black Adam's rage for the death of his family is understandable as well. And him feeling unworthy to be called the 'champion' of Kahndaq is understandable too.

Fun Fact: In the original comics, Black Adam was originally a prince of Egypt when he was granted the powers of the Champion.
I thought Teth Adam was just a normal person. But some people killed his family members. The last surviving members were him and his nephew.
The wizards granted both of them of the Shazam powers. The nephew wanted to save Kahndaq's people from those evil people, be the hero and bring peace. But Teth chose the way of vengeance and he believed that vengeance is the only way to peace.
So, he purposely killed his own nephew, took 2x of the powers and killed all the people who killed his family. Because of his blind rage, he was captured into his prison for so many years.
@@sadmankhan9630 That's in the New 52
He is son of King Rameses

If any father lost his son like that. This is the rage that you would feel if you truly love your son

His backstory had me tears💧. Love' THE ROCK'
Me too
"had me in tears" lmao it's a stupid story. You get snobby at the shittiest of stories😂

@@ayansrivastava722 facts!! 🤣🤣
@fiend9830That's must be the dumbest "pseudo-intellectual" statement I've seen
A son will give everything for his father
Just like a father would give everything for his son.
The guy who played the champion version of hurut looks like he could be the rocks son
The line from the trailer makes much more sense now
Awful how his son died right after he saved him
Adam was left with nothing but pain, heartache, hatred, and revenge
He’s all powerful but never claimed to be a hero
I don't care what critics and people say about Black Adam, it should have been given a second chance
no it shouldn't, horrible story horrible acting. Director had no clue who black adam was.....
TBH with you my friend, I think this movie should've been marketed better.
@@charlesgorman5188 the movie And acting was horrible. It wasn’t marketing.
@@codyatchley2618 I completely disagree about the movie and acting being horrible. Granted, I do agree that the movie wasn't great. However, as far as I am concerned, the movie wasn't terrible in my book.
@@charlesgorman5188 that was not black Adam. That was the rock playing the rock. Dr fate was amazing so was Hawk man.
Black Adam was actually a very good movie. Same with the Venom and Hulk movies, you don't really need a deep character arc or a grammy award story, you just need action scenes because that's what these type of characters bring, good action scenes
For the people who ask why he didn't give to power back to his son... dude his son instant dead he can't say shazam to take the power back
In the comics he stole the powers that was intended for his Nephew by intercepting it
I love this film it’s the best I believe ♥️♥️
Black Adam is a great movie
I agree,it should’ve been bigger at box office.if China had opened it there it would’ve been
Yeah it’s really great but I blame DC for ruining and not making a sequel of black adam and firing Henry Cavil Ben Afleck Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa
@@carlosmuller382 dude no it just Henry cavill and Ben affleck who is getting recast nobody else
Best movie in the DCEU after Man Of Steel.
Waste movie... no thrilling... same story of all movie... One of the waste movie of Rock
His backstory was sad 😢
I liked this origin story
His son was a great 👍 super hero 🦸♂️
Black Adam 2 2024
and a new story begins
I think I'm the only one who hates this change. I liked Teth being more villain than anti-hero, still very much one, but more evil and self-serving. The dude only saves Earth because he believes it is rightfully his for the taking. That is Black Adam. Humans are too weak to be empathize with and spared and not conquered. That is Black Adam. But I get what they're trying to do with him, I just don't think it's as interesting
Great film..I just finished watching it on tubi. I've always liked black Adam since I was younger.. growing up in the 80s 90s reading comics, he's always been on my list of favourites.👍🏻⚡
Props to the camera man for going back into time
In other version his father/uncle kills the boy and takes his powers
Yep black adam killed his nephew after his nephew shares a portion of his powers with him because black adam thought he was essentially not good enough to do what had to be done so took all the power
@@cosmicgrub360 That's the best version of Black Adam. He's not meant to be a good guy. He's meant to be the guy willing to do anything to get the job done
That version where Black Adam kills his nephew and takes all of the powers for him self in the Shazam new 52 comic thats where is from!
@@PermanentHigh as i said before, hes dr doom, he arrogant powerful, a leader of a nation both willing to do whatever they feel is needed for their goals and what they see best, he is smart not as smart as doom science wise but hes smart
The movie is based off the new 52 revised origin of Black Adam, the version you are speaking of is from the Shazam series that came after the comic this film is based on. Both films are comic adaptations but from different series merged into one movieverse. The BA film takes elements from both stories and merges them into one with Shazam taking more from the newer series.
So they kept the Shazam connection, but refused to let him cameo.
I went into this movie expecting it to be a movie about the Rock being the Rock. I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong.
Skinny Rock is something I never thought I'd see.
Wouldn’t they both just be super heroes like the Shazam family currently shares the same powers?
No. Cuz the wizards gave those powers to hurut which he transferred to his father. But Billy made other like him with the wizard’s staff.
If they hadn't spoiled this in the trailer, would have been a great twist
The funny thing was, my family and I didn’t watch the trailers, so this was a good twist for us
I don't see how ppl thought this was spoiled
I saw the trailer and I still didn’t see this twist coming
@@dobi287 It shows his son dying in the trailer.
@@ArsxnIV doesn't tell you anything about how he got his powers
So again
I love black Adam ❤❤❤❤❤
Black Adam in the comic and cartoon universe is pure evil but in the dceu, he's just heartbroken. 😢😢😢
In the new 52 comics, he was the uncle. The nephew was chosen, but blindly loved the uncle. The uncle wanted revenge, while the child wanted peace. He killed his nephew and took the powers to rule as ue saw fit.
Born, out of rage!
Dwayne Johnson is a great actor
No
He’s good but not great. He plays the same role in every movie, the best actors are the ones who are good at playing different roles.
@@H.K.5 He is not playing himself in this film despite some Rockisms in the film - Th3Birdman: Lets Talk :Black Adam
1:44 SHAZAM!
All his jewellerys look more expensive than some cardboard boxes but less expensive than 4 large size pizza
The biggest problem was that The Rock insisted on making Black Adam a selfless hero and that isn't his character even by his actions.
This version is damn near an exact representation of the revised Black Adam story from the New 52. They changed a few things but this was actually a pretty faithful adaptation with very good changes. BA was a selfless hero but he still retained a severe no nonsense policy - The Rpck played him perfectly from the comics
@@1980Triumph exactly
So the shazam wizard we seen in shazam movie was the blue wizard, the others were dead or lost.
Black Adam kills them when they teleported him to them after he killed the king. The wizard Shazam was the only survivor and he managed to imprison Black Adam. It's in the movie but the colors and speed of the action make it hard to see what is happening but BA kills the rest when they summon him.
I almost cried when I saw this part of the movie
Truly a film
So kandaq True Champion and hero is hurut
But True Avenger is Teth Adam 😈⚡⚡
Why do people not like this movie? I thought it was good
Blame it on the brat kid in the movie. He was so freaking annoying
I liked it too but this movie felt like a sequel to the movie we should have got.
Right? This movie was dope great character the rock played so ruthless 💥💪🏽
@@xGhouly ruthless yes but personality of the character he play was dumb, especially been taught by annoying stupid kid. I am sorry for talk like that, but this movie try to make black adam to be like terminator john connor relationship but fail completely.
Reason why terminator follow a kid teaching because he was a robot and not have any feelings system at first.
But here, teth adam was born as human, he had a son who got killed. And when he meet the kid he should dicipline and belt that kid for troublemaker he did to his mom (take a look how kratos teach atreus)
@@SinarBaru-bp4jx it’s all good 👍🏽 I respect your opinion and honestly I know many black Adam fans or dc fans expected more and changes but it’s okay be happy he got into the big screen! I used to be a die hard critic who just always look at everything in movies but idc no more I just go watch for the vibes and never complain I love movies more than ever without judging you know what I’m saying :)
I cant understand why they gave such a poor rating for a wonderful movie and great actor Dwayne Johnson the make an excellent story cant understand critics
Because people just complain to complain and say everything is "wOkE!1!1"
i mean who else watched this movie at the cinema?
I saw it in theaters alot
I did
I did
I saw it twice in theaters
I did
and now Dwayne Johnson are officially egyptian god
Know the emotion is there, scenes like this just feel to rushed and not enough weight to them. Know this movie meant a lot to The Rock.
Like I said before I hate death and as for the rage, it makes me want play captain marvel on MK VS DC again
If you arrest evil it will never end. Remember batman and joker. Batman arrest him and he escapes and kills dozens of people and causes mayhem and then he is caught by batman again. Then he escapes and the cycle repeats itself again
So now what is the point that police officers must also to have a Execution authority
God Of War Cutscene in a Nutshell
I really liked this movie
those clothes were violating the code of Kahndaq
I genuinely enjoyed this movie
me too
Me too
This shouldn't been the intro of the movie black adam!!! It would been more intense but they kept it in the middle scene
I loved the part where Black Adam said "It's Black Adamin' time!" and started Black Adaming all over the place. Truly inspirational.
His story is equal to Kratos's.
Movie was so cool 😎😎😎
It sucks
@@to.kanali 😡
This movie may not follow the source material
But its still a good movie on its own
Black Adam Super Hero Power Best Movie Film
Idk why DJ thought he needed to also be the “human” form of Black Adam as well THATS NOT HOW IT IS IN THE COMICS, and he’s like “ I wanna be “true” to the character” nope
So is this movie still coming out or.....
0:19
BALTİLİKİFONTA
kandakian phrase for wishing for freedom
It would have been a good twist, for someone who doesn't know the character,if they DIDN'T PUT IT IN THE DAMN TRAILER!
Adam’s son looks like Zachary Levi, I wonder if that was intentional.
I’m curious if the gods from the Shazam sequel could take away his powers? Or is it counter plot armour
Found out they can
Daughters of Atlas
Absolutely
Adams powers come from the Egyptian pantheon rather than Greek so I'd say it's unlikely
@@vgngolley341 No they can't. Black Adam has the powers of the Egyptian Gods. But Billy has the powers of the Greek Gods. So no, they can't and have no reason to interfere.
2:13 "And that's why I say, hey man, nice shot."
0:48 Shazam!
Like billy batson did
Black Adam wasn't even a bad movie, It was fire!
His son has the pointy hair like the comics
Why does the rock always have strings of spit on his teeth when he screams? Why?
It's too bad they gave away this plot twist in the trailers.
Even if its not accurate to the comics its still a pretty good take on Black Adam in my opinion
No its a fail

Opening To Black Adam 2012 DVD
Bro i dont understand when the little guy gave the powers to his father his father healed right? But why didn't his father give his powers to his son so he can heal himself aswell dude wtf??
They shot the son in the heart, the father was only wounded - big difference. He died immediately. This is clearly exampled in this very scene - I swear that people looking for issues always end up looking the most stupid - like dude this is the very scene that answers your dumb question
Never understood the traditional idea of the Hero=no killing
Just because you shouldn’t doesn’t mean you ‘can never’. In Injustice for example, Superman was right. How many innocents would still be alive if Batman actually killed The Joker instead of arresting him?
Superman or just a man, one can blame a husband/father for killing his wife/child’s killer. I always thought a real hero was the one who did what no one else was willing to do; make the tough choices…the anti-hero.
Suuuuper film ❤❤
Black Adam was a great movie for the DC universe. But alas when DC does anything right they scrap it right away. Man of Steel was the greatest Superman movie ever made yet they never made a sequel.
Wow! My theory is that Black Adam will want to know how the heck Billy Batson did share his powers with his family and want that power
Wizard staff
Genuienly felt black adam would've been a better movie had they used his origin story as the main plot of the film rather than being released from his seal in the modern era
Hurut was indeed the true champion of Khandaq
I didn’t exactly see an issue with black Adam killing the king and his army. It appeared to be justified to me
