It was up in the air for a while hether he would choose to play Shazam or Black Adam (or even both, some people were speculating). And he obviously chose the latter. It's rumored or reported somewhere that he actually despises the tone of the Shazam movies, which is why we've heard no news about them squaring off, which per the comics makes the most sense.
To answer your question about hawkman, he is kind of immortal-ish way...beacause when he dies, he wilo be reincarnated into another person...and their suit or weapon is called "nth metal or enth" wings, boots, belt...and its abilities are controlled mentally, but basing from the movie, it looks like a suit...in the old justice league cartoons, their wings is a part of their body i think...
Also dr. Fate is way much stronger than dr. Strange... and the helmet is the is magic/weapon itself... the helmet chooses who is going to be the bearer of the helmet, the stronger the person he/she has affinity with magic, the stronger he/she is...dr. fate was introduced i think from 1940 and dr strange was around 1960...
You say you are a "comic fan" but you CLARLY ARE NOT ! You are big ass ignorant when you don't even know who were created first ! Shame on you you got a lot of comics to read and a lot of search to do !
Dr. Fate can’t die, he is a Lord of Order. The host may die, but the eternal being resides in the helmet. When we say the helmet dissipate, it was probably going to find a new host worthy of such power.
Generally speaking as a casual watcher as well, the DC comic book characters all came first. Dr Fate debuted in the 1940s and Dr Strange in the 1960s. The belief is, DC has been copying Marvel, but it's actually the opposite in many instances. More knowledgeable comic book fans will have more historical insight though.
@TDK. Official when it comes to live action movies, Marvel is better because they plan it out and execute it well. But comics wise, they are both equal. Marvel and DC have been copying each other for years when it comes to similar characters
@@Dangangela6565 Supermans only came close to death or has died to very few, most of them had to do with magic while creatures like Doomsdays beat the ever-loving shit out of him.
@@Ronruk Dwayne Johnson Says Black Adam Is As Strong As Superman quote- Black Adam has the same powers as Superman. Think about that. That's why it's so cool and exciting. With regard to super strength, durability and flight, Dwayne Johnson is correct that Superman and Black Adam are on roughly equal footing. However, contrary to what Johnson said during his conversation with MTV, Superman and Black Adam do not have all the same powers. In fact, if you look at what Black Adam is capable of overall, he’s actually arguably more powerful than Superman.
Pierce Brosnan was considered for Dr. Strange at Marvel originally, but they ultimately chose Benedict Cumberbatch, so as a favor to his kids he took the role of Dr. Fate, so they'd get a chance to see him play a similar character.
I've never heard about Brosnan was in the running for Dr Strange before lol but there was a time where Johnny depp was in talks with marvel in an undisclosed project. For year, even before the MCU I was hoping depp becomes Dr. Strange but that never came to fruition
@@TokuRewinds I read a few years ago that even Joaquin Phoenix auditioned for Dr. Strange . But then later on the role ultimately went to Bendict Cumberbatch. But I don't feel that bad for Joaquin , he later on did Joker and received an Oscar for that role , so good for him.
The problem with the characters is that you're used to seeing Marvel characters, so you can't avoid the comparison, but if you were a DC fan, maybe you would feel the same way about seeing the competition's characters. There is for all tastes.
Love your reactions! A little information for y’all, the characters that you feel these characters are similar to, were created after these ones in the comics. Marvel just has the benefit of introducing theirs to the movies first. Atom Smasher came before Deadpool. Ant-Man did come before Atom Smasher, but The Atom, another DC character who has the same powers as Ant-Man, came first. Hawkman came before Falcon. Doctor Fate came a whole 23 years before Doctor Strange. There’ll always be similarities between certain Marvel and DC characters, hopefully DC’s get more time to shine in the future. Keep up the awesome reactions!
Also, I love that Oak reserved judgement knowing that these characters might have come first, but I completely understand that it’s impossible not to make comparisons to other characters that you’ve seen first in films.
We should've filmed us looking up the characters after. We learned about Atom Smasher and Dr. Fate. Mason Quinn and I did jump it a bit. But as casual comic book peeps and seeing Marvel on the big screen with there characters before DC made moves to expand, kind of hard not too make any of those comparisons we did. 🤙🤙🤙
Unfortunately many people don’t give a shit about comics man and marvel has put these characters on the big screen before dc so ofc many people are gunna think that these dc characters are copying marvel which is understandable
When I saw this in the theater and Superman showed up, this one guy in the front row jumped up and turned to face the audience, pulling his sweater open, superman style, revealing his Superman shirt and he screamed "YEAH!! I GOT THE SHIRT, I KNEW HE WAS GONNA SHOW UP!!"
In the comics black Adam's lightning is called living lightning he's also has a history of being both a villain and heroes so he's one of those characters
I thought people might compare falcon with Hawkman, but the ultimate irony of the whole movie is that they used him as the character for the "heroes don't kill" rule, when he is one of the most hardcore MFs-kinda on par with wolverine and the punisher in terms of kill count and brutality. He has had many multiple origin stories which convoluted him, but a recent retcon funneled all of them into one. Basically, long before any known time, Katar H'al was a conqueror who led an army in the universe called the deathbringers and used them to wreak havoc on life. He had the highest body count, in the name of a dark god. However, after a point, he started feeling remorse which led to one of his closest friends and generals backstabbing him. In his final moments of death, another deity gave him a boon-to atone for all his sins and to save as many people as he can to equal the death toll he caused throughout the universe, he will be reborn again and again, through space and time across the DC multiverse. He has had many incarnations-an egyptian prince, an alien space cop, hell, even a kryptonian scientist. But the one in the movie, carter hall, is the newest one-an archeologist. He may use a suit built with nth metal, and has had a lifetime of war.
The comic information on the villain's name Sabbac is an acronym for the six beings who empower Sabbac: the demons Satan, Aym, Belial, Beelzebub, Asmodeus and Crateis.
dr. Fate is what you call a sorcerer or master of mystic artes, and has various magics since the helmet is somewhat an ancient artifact...in television series in the cartoons of young justice, he is called the lord of order where he is a counterpart of chaos magic, he balances order and chaos...
As fair as your comments were about the Justice Society being similar to the Marvel character, DC and Marvel rip off each other a lot. A lot of Marvel characters are ripped off from DC but Marvel benefits from having more movies and releasing their characters on the big screen first. Love the reactions as always guys
We did look it up after cameras cut. We saw that Fate debuted in May of 1940. And Atom Smasher was 10 or so years before Deadpool. At least this movie gave us the opportunity to look this up so we can be a little educated. 🤙🤙
@@eingoluq nah, both company copy each other a lot. Also shazam (captain Marvel) was created by fawcett comics and dc later owned the character and marvel owned the name for their superhero
@@ashwanthss5042 it is well known Marvel copies DC vastly more than the other way around. And yes the point is marvel ripped off the name from captain marvel. So they rip of everybody. That was the point I was making
The movie was actually quite enjoyable. I do wish Smasher and Cyclone had more characterisation to them. Like, you could cut off Smasher completely and the movie would not change. Also, Doctor Fate needs his own prequel/TV show. Pierce Brosnan OWNED that role.
Dr. Fate's helmet is from earth. It's possessed by Nabu (one of the Lords of Order), an ancient sorcerer that possesses anyone that puts on the helmet. It chooses who gets to wear it, and it's pretty much indestructible. It just returned to the "Tower of Fate", a magic tower where the holder of the helmet lives. It's waiting until the next time he's needed, then Nabu will choose the next Dr. Fate...as long as you agree to terms...
I LITERALLY saw this yesterday after being ehh about seeing it. But I’m excited to see what you all think, I think I’ll know what you think of the ending 😂
Reminds me of those early 2000's marvel movies but with epic action sequences. Just pure fun for me. A lot of these characters did come a bit before marvel started to re-purpose those types of characters and give them a marvel twist. I really enjoyed this, sure nothing much is new in this movie but at the same time I think they handled it pretty well. Sure its flawed but I think its a good time.
I’ve been having great times with lots of your videos, how fortunate I am too see you guys’ reaction on some of DC characters like Wonder Woman, Man of Steel, Bat vs Sup, Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Please I need more.
In all honesty, Dr. Fate absolutely destroys Black Adam, but in this case, they had to nerf him to prop up Black Adam a bit. However, Black Adam is still very strong as he went toe to toe with Superman and Shazam at the same time. It was actually a really good animated film. In the end, Dr. Fate was heavily nerfed. And in the debate between Dr. Fate vs Dr. Strange, Dr. Fate still wins. Source: I read the comics
Merciless Mode quote- naw strange in his most recent incarnation now oneshots fate Considering he now has the power of all of Yggdrassil on top of his magic
Man that Superman scene was awesome I really enjoyed the film in cinema but it had a lot of problems Also the post credit scene plays the original Superman score from John Williams
Black Adam was perfect for the rock he killed and I’m a fan of the character as well and I think he did it justice wayyy better than I expected and mannnnn doctor fate so glad to see him on the big screen

Black Adam Supernatural Strength: Black Adam has the strength of the Gods, making him far stronger than any human and most superhumans and putting him on equal terms with the likes of Superman and Ultraman. His most impressive demonstration of strength shows when he along with Sinestro, moved Prime Earth's moon [roughly 73,430,000,000,000,000,000 tonnes] back into orbit suggesting he has near limitless strength. As such Teth Adam can easily lift and toss around vehicles and take full grown men apart limb from limb and physically dismantle battle attested rigs like tanks or army jeeps with little to no effort. Knocking around Ultraman and a mystically empowered Alex Luther around with a punch with moderate exertion, though his upper limits are still undisclosed. Ultraman is not the only Superman-level threat Adam's dealt with, either. When he was a Yellow Lantern, he managed to punch the spit out of a superior, amped Mongul. And once his ring was charged an extra hundred percent, they were placed on even ground and Adam pummeled him with ease. In Doomsday Clock, it was implied that Adam punched Superman through multiple buildings and down a street.
Superman's Powers and Abilities The powers of the DC Comics character Superman have changed a great deal since his introduction in the 1930s. As the character developed, his abilities were enhanced in order to maintain the interest of his audience. The extent of his powers peaked during the 1970s and 80's, to the point where it became difficult to create suitable challenges for the character. As a result, his powers were significantly reduced when his story was rebooted by writer John Byrne after the Crisis on Infinite Earths series. After Byrne's departure, Superman's powers were gradually increased again, although he still remains weaker than his Pre-Crisis incarnation. Golden Age Superman As presented in the original 1930's comic strip, Superman's powers were indigenous to those of all Kryptonians. In the origin stories of the comic books and comic strip, Kryptonians were shown using the same powers that Superman would have on Earth. Later, Krypton's larger size and gravity was given as an explanation for the character's powers. Silver/Bronze Age (Pre-Crisis) Superman Superman's powers were enhanced and added to from the 1940s until the mid-eighties. His powers were explained as a result of two factors: the comparatively weaker gravity of Earth, and the intensity of Earth's yellow sun. As such, Superman's powers were negated if he entered an environment similar to that of Krypton, such as the bottle city of Kandor, or if he was exposed to the solar energy of a red sun. In Silver Age stories, the powers and limitations of Superman were instantly possessed by any Kryptonians exposed to Earth or Earth-like conditions. Individuals from the planet Daxam, such as Mon-El, possessed identical powers, but were invulnerable to Kryptonite and highly susceptible to lead poisoning. Post-Crisis When the Superman character was revised by John Byrne shortly after Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was decided to place restrictions on his abilities. This was designed to make it easier for writers to come up with suitable challenges for the hero, and to eliminate or reduce those powers that had become too sensational or unbelievable for modern audiences. Emphasis was placed on yellow sun energy as a source for the character's powers. Superman's origin story was altered so that his powers developed gradually as his body absorbed yellow sunlight, and stories such as the Final Night series depicted the character gradually losing his powers when deprived of the sun's energy. When Superman's reserves of solar energy were depleted, as in Infinite Crisis or the Death of Superman story arcs, he required an extended period of time under a yellow sun, or some type of artificial solar enhancement in order to recharge. Power Reduction Superman's strength was reduced to the point where he could still move tremendous amounts, but the character no longer had the ability to move planets. His speed was also reduced so that he could not exceed the speed of light. While still capable of surviving a nuclear explosion, such events would severely weaken him. Superman's sight, stamina and breath powers were also similarly reduced, and the character was also shown as requiring an oxygen mask for prolonged travel in space or underwater. His mental abilities were also curtailed to the point where intelligent humans, like geniuses Lex Luthor or Batman, could possibly outsmart him. The powers of super-ventriloquism and super-hypnosis were not generally used during this period, although it was never stated whether they had been eliminated or not. Modern Era After Byrne's departure from the series, Superman's powers and abilities were once again increased over time. He regained the ability to travel interstellar distances and to hold his breath for the amount of time required to make such journeys. His strength, speed, and sensory abilities were again increased, although not to Pre-Crisis levels. The comparative weakness of the Superman character to his Pre-Crisis incarnation was definitively shown during Infinite Crisis. The Superboy-Prime character, endowed with nearly the same power levels as the Silver Age Superman, was capable of defeating large numbers of DC universe heroes, including the Teen Titans and many members of theGreen Lantern Corps. The Modern Era Superman and his Earth 2 counterpart were only able to defeat Superboy-Prime after plunging him through Krypton's red sun, thereby reducing his powers. Comparative strength While Superman is frequently assumed to be the strongest hero in the DC universe, following the Byrne reboot, his strength tends to fluctuate depending on the amount of solar energy his cells have absorbed and the writer of the particular story. He has received a temporary boost in power after surviving a plunge into the Sun, and has had his powers depleted when deprived of such energy. The limits of how much energy Superman can absorb, and by extension the maximum limits of his power, has never been stated. Additionally, because of the solar energy that empowers him, he has often been depicted as being potentially immortal, as well as having a different ageing process, as seen in the Grant Morrison written series set in the far future of the DC Universe, DC One Million.The canonicity of this series is unknown. Characters such as Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter have been described variously over time as equals, at least equal (possibly superior), or, in the last case, even superior. Captain Marvel has been able to knock him out with 1-2 punches by taking him by surprise,and Superman has stated outright that the latter has the advantage in a fist-fight due to his magic-derived powers. When the Modern Era Supergirl was introduced, it was suspected that she was stronger than her cousin, but this was due to the fact that Superman had learned to restrain his strength through years of living with weaker individuals, an ability that Kara Zor-El had not yet learned. It is important to note that while Superman is among the strongest DC heroes, there are many who match his strength, most notably Darkseid, Bizarro, Lobo, the Cyborg Superman, Eradicator, the original Mongul, General Zod and Black Adam, while Doomsday and Despero have occasionally been shown as stronger, the former being able to effortlessly stand his ground against the entire Justice League, and the latter defeating Superman, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, and Power Girl at the same time. Heroes and villains with magical capabilities, like the Spectre, Zatanna, and Doctor Fate, have displayed cosmic level power vastly beyond Superman's capabilities. The Flash possesses the ability to travel at the speed of light, shunting his mass towards infinity, and enabling him to perform such feats as defeating a white martian with one punch, or almost overcoming the Anti-Monitor singlehandedly. Hal Jordan, with the will-fueled power of the Green Lantern ring, has also been cited as being a match for Superman, being able to lay him down with one punch while possessed by Parallax. The Guardians of the Universe allegedly possess abilities dwarfing those of regular Green Lantern Corps members. Kyle Rayner, inhabited by the benevolent symbiote "Ion", was recently touted as the most powerful of Earth's superheroes. Maxima, has many powers such as telepathy and psi-bolts that have knocked out Orion, who is on equal footing to Superman, effortlessly. She also possesses Matter Manipulation, Telekinesis, and possession abilities that would make her a threat to the entire Justice League. Maxima also can hold her own against Doomsday in strength and can increase her physicallity to infinite levels. One villain that is often portrayed as vastly superior to Superman in every way is the five-dimensional entity Mr. Mxyzptlk. While the limits and nature of Mxyzptlk's powers is unclear, he is often portrayed as being, for all practical purposes, 'omnipotent,' and his encounters with Superman often amount to him simply toying with the Man of Steel. ________ Superman (Clark Kent) Weaknesses Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Superman possesses the same potential weaknesses as an average Kryptonian. These include: Vulnerability to Kryptonite Vulnerability to Magic Solar Energy Dependency: Kryptonian abilities will eventually weaken without replenishing their energy reserves with normal (yellow) sun radiation. When exposed to the same red solar radiation as Krypton's red sun Rao, it causes Kryptonians to lose their powers within a large amount of exposure until exposure to yellow sunlight reverses this effect. When exposed to orange solar radiation from a different galaxy, Superman's strength and abilities will drastically diminished, eventually weakening him. The radiation also affects his intellectual capacity and reduces his ability to think. Sensory Overload: With his extremely acute senses, Superman can be overtaxed to the point of pain when encountered by extreme external stimuli such as hypersonics (hearing), balance, sight (flash bang). Radiation Poisoning: Superman was exposed to deadly radiation during his encounter with the aliens from the Breach, causing him to rapidly age. He slowed the progression of his condition via regular infusions of rejuvanating magic from Enchantress, but this was undone by a sorceress working for Mongul. Power Limitation: Superman's sickness has caused his powers to fade and weaken. Although still significantly stronger than a human he is less powerful than an average healthy Kryptonian.
Just want it pointed out, because everyone thinks Marvel characters always debuted first because of the MCU and act liked DC ripped off Marvel, which both companies did, blatantly, but Dr. Fate debuted in 1940, Dr. Strange in 1963. Atom Smasher in 1983, Deadpool in 1991. Hawkman in 1940, Falcon in 1969.
The only superhero movie ive ever seen was BvS ultimate edition. Ive seen the major parts of the big marvel movies like the ending of infinity war and endgame just cause youtube prevents me from NOT seeing that shit. But BvS was really enjoyable for me
Unsure if said, but Atom Smasher and Cyclone are originally grandkids of original JSA members. Cyclone grew up admiring them a lot, and the man who kidnapped her is supposed to be a man named T.O. Morrow, who makes androids with powers. Intergang also gets their supplies/weapons from Apokolips. So Darkseid's people. Who you see in ZS Justice League.
Doctor Fate's First Appearance Doctor Fate made his first appearance in "More Fun Comics #55" in May 1940, during the Golden Age of Comic Books. Meanwhile, Doctor Strange made his comic book debut in "Strange Tales no. 110" in July 1963.
fun fact, they tried to get him to wear a fake muscle suit for the movie and he refused and said he wanted to train his body and beef up for the movie, so theres no cg on his muscles or anything
Hawkman, the atom, and doctor fate all debuted in 1940 over 20 years before their parallels. For casual viewers i can see where on the surface these characters are similar. But the lore and depth between characters are all vastly different. Especially when you consider the fact that these 3 jsa heroes are all legacy characters
Yeah DC has to figure out how to make there characters really stand out and they have to figure out how to develop these characters instead of just throwing them together. But this movie wasn’t bad. It was really fun.
It's funny how just because MCU got big first, everybody thinks DC just copied all of Marvel's characters, which in fact both sides stole designs from the other.
In my honest opinion on why Hurut transferred his powers completely to his father to save his life. Because Hurut thanked his father for what he was. Through his father's important teachings, lessons, and guidance Hurut was inspired by him to become a hero and the true champion of Kahndaq.
He is a 3-4 level character. Not until the last 5 years or so he was in the dust. Just like Ironman, Black widow, Hawk eye, and Falcon. Before 2006, they all were D-list heroes.
The Justice Society is the first superhero team ever in the comics and predates Justice League too. All the heroes you saw Dr Fate, Hawkman, Atom Smasher were created before the Marvel characters you mentioned.
I liked this movie. Action was fantastic plus The Rock as Adam was perfect and the Justice Society was solid. But man, did the non-superpowered characters annoy the hell out of me, especially the Mother. I was on her side at first but she kept acting so sanctimonious and ridiculous when her choices kept making everything worse. Wanted Hawkman to tell her to shut the hell up at the end of the movie. Lol Stellar reaction as always fellas.
When in doubt, assume that a character showed up in DC first and then a similar hero was added to Marvel. You’ll be correct 7/8 out of 10, probably. I think that it was a good movie for what it was, but could have better if the focus was on JS against Black Adam and ignore the demon bad guy. It was fine, better than a lot of other DC submissions so it worked
Back in comic book days, Marvel and DC were competitors. When 1 would create a character, the other would make a similar character. That why you see that...
Hopefully this comment doesnt get too buried but let me say that I absolutely love you guys and want you to keep this up. My girlfriend and I just spent the entire day watching your Harry Potter reactions and we loved every moment of it. I liked this movie quite a bit mainly because we got to see the JSA and especially Doctor Fate... I think Batman and Superman are wonderful but they have a new movie every couple of years while this may likely be it for the JSA unless James Gunn decides to use them... So just wanted to give you guys some background info on Doctor Fate since he is my fave superhero and I might not get this chance again... He's got an absolutely tragic backstory where as a little kid he was exploring an ancient tomb in mesopotamia with his father. During the excavation he pulls a lever which releases an ancient deity named Nabu. Unfortunately it also releases a gas which kills his father. Nabu then essentially brainwashes and traps him inside the tomb and teaches him sorcery for years before eventually transforming him into an adult. Nabus final act is to release young Doctor Fate from his mind control who in retribution for the death of his father destroys the corporeal form of Nabu and turns him into the Helm of Fate (Nabu). Doctor Fate is DCs magical powerhouse.. the last line of defense in many cases where magical and multiversal threats are concerned. As far as his powers are concerned his magic allows him to do pretty much anything he wants to. In response to the question that the Oak posed.. in the comics Doctor Fate wouldn't have needed the JSAs help to deal with Black Adam and Sabbac he's above them in terms of power plus Nabu and Teth Adam have known each other for millennia. What makes Fate interesting is the constant battle for control Kent Nelson has to engage in since while wearing the Helm of Fate Nabu is mostly in control. Anyways thats enough of my nerd rant... Keep doing what you are doing it's fantastic!
DC recently stated that the Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds is actually cannon with the DCEU. The Green Lantern's we saw in Justice League were the same exact characters who were teaching Hal Jordan how to use his ring in that movie.
@@giantmess4335 yeah there was a lot of silliness in it, but after seeing ww84 and love & thunder, it's serious as Deer Hunter compared to what we get nowadays.
Also justice society is in dc legends of tomorrow tv show. Just mentioning in case ppl were curious. That show had quite pf few of those characters. Im not a big fan of it myself, but i did like seeing just all the diff superheroes that i barely remembered or didnt recall at all
I always try to enjoy a superhero movie but this one just got me in tears waiting for the end of the movie I give this a 1 out of 5 just because the rock was in it
Most of dc characters were made well before marvel (in the comics). dr fate was before dr strange. Atom smasher before ant man and hawkman above falcon. Also I believe the justice society was the first superhero group made before justice league, avengers and x men
Hawk man is about as old as Teth Adam. He has been continually reincarnated since the old kingdom of Egypt. He does have powers of flight and super strength as well as a host of mystic artifacts.
I enjoyed the movie but I wish to see more of Dr. Fate. I'm sad he died. :( Whenever you make superheroes & villains, there will always be similarities. It's difficult to make anything original now. But even as a casual Marvel fan myself, DC has always been the number one in the superhero comic book industry. They're like the pioneers. Marvel is still great, of course. They've also done a lot of great things.
Regarding people giving it negative reviews. It was a comic book movie and it delivered. Great soundtrack. Nice to see a character show no mercy. How I would like to see Superman and Batman.
The last 2 minutes of this video made me subscribe. I agree with Diamond Dave 100%, The legendary Christopher Reeves theme, just, don't, touch it. Hans Zimmerman would have been perfect in that scene, that decision is beyond mind bottling.
And that is why the DCEU is a wasted mess. Imagine if they didn't rush Doomsday, Steppenwolf and Darkseid and had Shazam been introduced earlier. Black Adam could've been the Justice League movie's first villain.
If the Black Adam were to have sequels, the mother would eventually become Black Adam's girlfriend. She would also become powerful and become the iconic legendary character, Isis. Maybe you guys remember the old TV series, Isis? Look it up! -OG
I think a 4 is fair for this , I really enjoyed it but it got destroyed by lots hahah. - do wish it was a lot darker though , it was marketed by everyone years before it was announced to be really dark as it’s a villain story , like I expected the justice society to all be killed by Adam . But then the Batman was marketed to be super horror and dark too when it wasn’t that dark
Watching through y'alls superhero movie reactions and loving it! Just a quick question: Will y'all be watching Blue Beetle at any point? It's a great movie and technically the start of the new DCU since he'll be returning in future films!! Would love to see the reaction to it.
One time in the comics Black Adam was only allow to leave his country as a member of The Justice Society it didn't last very long. Shazam also became a member in the comics.
1:11:26 Mark! 104,144 Views + Mine! 🎉 4K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 Guys, you're welcome, and thanks! 😊 Notes: "Atom Smasher"? Well, "DC" also has "The Atom"! The singer "Adam Ant" got his stage name from the "Hanna-Barbera" character "Atom Ant" whose costume resembles that of "The Atom"! He could shrink to smaller sizes, hence his name, while "Doll Man" didn’t shrink smaller than a "Ken" doll from "Mattel"! The only other guy that I can think at the moment with "Smasher" in his name is "The Spy Smasher"! But when World War 2 ended, so did his career. I'm not sure if he got to come back for the Cold War. 🤔 The only live-action version of "The Atom" that we have was played by actor Brandon Routh for the set of series set in "The Arrowverse" on "The CW"! ("Constantine" was on "NBC" for only one season. "Supergirl" began on "CBS" but ended on "The CW"!) Instead of being a man in a tight costume, this version wore an armored suit that allowed him to be like both "Ironman" and "Ant-Man/Giant Man"! Whereas in the comics, he could shrink and grow organically. Brandon Routh's "Superman" and "The Atom" met because of the "Crisis On Infinite Earths" and somehow one was taller than the other! "Hawkman"! He was created during legal Segregation during the "Golden Age of Comics" and he was an Egyptian Prince reincarnated! During the "Silver Age of Comics" he became a Thanagarian. Both version met amd both were drawn as White guys! "The CW" used the reincarnation theme too, but with "Hawkgirl" included. Both White! This movie version finally gave us someone who looked like he was from Africa! 🎉 (I never noticed how Charleton Heston's version of "The Ten Commandments" was so full of Whites until I saw the relatively recent remake with an authentic looking and sounding cast! 😁 (No Bronx accents!) "CBS" during the 1970s gave us their "Saturday Morning Children's Programming Block" series known as "The SHAZAM - Isis Hour" or something like that. This movie gave us our first live-action "Isis" since that series! She is the mother/sister character! But just as "Archer" was affected by the existence of a terrorist group called "I.S.I.S." so was "DC" in general and this movie in particular. 😮 If you want more, then you should teact to "DC's League of Super Pets"! Krypto and Black Adam's dog have their own talk! 😂😅 Bye-bye for now! Namaste! 🙏
You guys do really realize that pretty much Marvel & DC characters all parallel eachother literally but if you are just a casual viewer of the films and don’t know the comics of course you won’t know that
Dr. Fate appeared in comics in May 1940 and Dr Strange didn't come in till July 1963. As a die hard comic fan its funny when people think DC copies Marvel but sometimes they both do the same thing. The same common comparison is just like "Deathstroke and Deadpool" saying they look alike which is not untrue honestly lol but it shows they copy each other or just take inspiration from each other. I agree with more character development for the characters in the JS because people who don't read comics don't know about these characters. Hawkman did appear in Justice league the cartoon in the 90's but not everyone watched it so I would've loved seeing them explain more for them. Especially, how strong DR. fate is and I also love atom's back story because people I know compare him to Ant Man because he can grow in size. But, some of the action is good just it's always the writing for some reason with DC.
Black Adam: Do you really think you could defeat me on a one on one fight just because you are more powerful than me? Superman: Ye.... Black Adam: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They are nearly equals in strength. In fact, Black Adam is one of the few people on earth that superman realizes he can't hold back against, and even acknowledges that he has the chance to really let loose with him. Black Adam has beaten Martian Man hunter, who is actually stronger than superman, Power girl, superman's cousin, and the rest of the JSA by himself.
Not even considering physical strength between Superman and Black Adam, Superman has struggled against him in the past because Black Adam’s power is also based of magic which is one of the few things Superman is vulnerable to.
Black Adam is here. The Rock is perfect for Black Adam. Action was great. Story wise, could've been better. What was your reaction? Did it meet your expectations? And that post credit... what are you most hyped for after seeing that?

It was up in the air for a while hether he would choose to play Shazam or Black Adam (or even both, some people were speculating). And he obviously chose the latter. It's rumored or reported somewhere that he actually despises the tone of the Shazam movies, which is why we've heard no news about them squaring off, which per the comics makes the most sense.
if you havnt seen it already you should watch Shazam its kinda linked to black adam
To answer your question about hawkman, he is kind of immortal-ish way...beacause when he dies, he wilo be reincarnated into another person...and their suit or weapon is called "nth metal or enth" wings, boots, belt...and its abilities are controlled mentally, but basing from the movie, it looks like a suit...in the old justice league cartoons, their wings is a part of their body i think...
Also dr. Fate is way much stronger than dr. Strange... and the helmet is the is magic/weapon itself... the helmet chooses who is going to be the bearer of the helmet, the stronger the person he/she has affinity with magic, the stronger he/she is...dr. fate was introduced i think from 1940 and dr strange was around 1960...
You say you are a "comic fan" but you CLARLY ARE NOT ! You are big ass ignorant when you don't even know who were created first !
Shame on you you got a lot of comics to read and a lot of search to do !
Dr. Fate can’t die, he is a Lord of Order. The host may die, but the eternal being resides in the helmet. When we say the helmet dissipate, it was probably going to find a new host worthy of such power.
but his host can die, The helmet is Dr. Fate technically it chooses who it uses as a host.
@@giantmess4335 yes, that’s what I said.
@@stevenlopez2462 my bad I read another post and I think I replied to you on accident.
It’s a shame as the actor was perfect for him
@@JHolland Yup, and now they're gonna pick a kid to be his replacement, or something dumb like that.
Generally speaking as a casual watcher as well, the DC comic book characters all came first. Dr Fate debuted in the 1940s and Dr Strange in the 1960s. The belief is, DC has been copying Marvel, but it's actually the opposite in many instances. More knowledgeable comic book fans will have more historical insight though.
Marvel just does it better
@@tdk.official3740 nah dr fate too badass
@TDK. Official when it comes to live action movies, Marvel is better because they plan it out and execute it well. But comics wise, they are both equal. Marvel and DC have been copying each other for years when it comes to similar characters
@@tdk.official3740 in 💩 only haha
@@anthonyfranco7651 no just accept the fact that marvel is cringe and complete copy of dc.
Black Adam is usually Justice league level threat, his strength can match up to superman and he IS magic based, one of superman's few weaknesses
@@Dangangela6565 Supermans only came close to death or has died to very few, most of them had to do with magic while creatures like Doomsdays beat the ever-loving shit out of him.
Close to him? Barely
Yeh I don’t get why the justice league weren’t here to try stop him , or the justice society weren’t there to help the justice league in their movir
He isn’t close to Supermans strength since his strength will always stay the same while Superman powers keeps evolving
@@Ronruk Dwayne Johnson Says Black Adam Is As Strong As Superman
quote-
Black Adam has the same powers as Superman. Think about that. That's why it's so cool and exciting.
With regard to super strength, durability and flight, Dwayne Johnson is correct that Superman and Black Adam are on roughly equal footing. However, contrary to what Johnson said during his conversation with MTV, Superman and Black Adam do not have all the same powers. In fact, if you look at what Black Adam is capable of overall, he’s actually arguably more powerful than Superman.
Pierce Brosnan was considered for Dr. Strange at Marvel originally, but they ultimately chose Benedict Cumberbatch, so as a favor to his kids he took the role of Dr. Fate, so they'd get a chance to see him play a similar character.
I've never heard about Brosnan was in the running for Dr Strange before lol but there was a time where Johnny depp was in talks with marvel in an undisclosed project. For year, even before the MCU I was hoping depp becomes Dr. Strange but that never came to fruition
he made Dr Fate the best ever.
@@urbnctrl Right. Although the film was a bit chaotic and over stuffed, the JSA cast were great and Dr Fate was actually sick.
@@TokuRewinds I read a few years ago that even Joaquin Phoenix auditioned for Dr. Strange . But then later on the role ultimately went to Bendict Cumberbatch. But I don't feel that bad for Joaquin , he later on did Joker and received an Oscar for that role , so good for him.
The problem with the characters is that you're used to seeing Marvel characters, so you can't avoid the comparison, but if you were a DC fan, maybe you would feel the same way about seeing the competition's characters.
There is for all tastes.
Yeah. Marvel had their characters hit the big screen first. So the casual comic fan won't know unless they do research.
@@BaddMedicine Not really. There are plenty of medias where these charater have already been shown. Not everything is about recent cinema
@@tacxcat true. Animations come to mind.
That's the thing Marvel has copied DC and DC copied Marvel. Example Namor came first but people compare him to Aquaman.
@@userious258 like 95% of super eroes that have good comparison between their dc/marvel part were all created by marvel before anyway
Love your reactions! A little information for y’all, the characters that you feel these characters are similar to, were created after these ones in the comics. Marvel just has the benefit of introducing theirs to the movies first. Atom Smasher came before Deadpool. Ant-Man did come before Atom Smasher, but The Atom, another DC character who has the same powers as Ant-Man, came first. Hawkman came before Falcon. Doctor Fate came a whole 23 years before Doctor Strange. There’ll always be similarities between certain Marvel and DC characters, hopefully DC’s get more time to shine in the future. Keep up the awesome reactions!
Also, I love that Oak reserved judgement knowing that these characters might have come first, but I completely understand that it’s impossible not to make comparisons to other characters that you’ve seen first in films.
@@JustinThiessen yeah,today was Oak reverse day, Mason and Dave were the ones doing oak things in this one.
We should've filmed us looking up the characters after. We learned about Atom Smasher and Dr. Fate. Mason Quinn and I did jump it a bit. But as casual comic book peeps and seeing Marvel on the big screen with there characters before DC made moves to expand, kind of hard not too make any of those comparisons we did. 🤙🤙🤙
Agreed, though I think DC does shine a lot however it's for their animated universes.
Unfortunately many people don’t give a shit about comics man and marvel has put these characters on the big screen before dc so ofc many people are gunna think that these dc characters are copying marvel which is understandable
When I saw this in the theater and Superman showed up, this one guy in the front row jumped up and turned to face the audience, pulling his sweater open, superman style, revealing his Superman shirt and he screamed "YEAH!! I GOT THE SHIRT, I KNEW HE WAS GONNA SHOW UP!!"
lmao
Superfan!! 😂😂😂😂
In the comics black Adam's lightning is called living lightning he's also has a history of being both a villain and heroes so he's one of those characters
I thought people might compare falcon with Hawkman, but the ultimate irony of the whole movie is that they used him as the character for the "heroes don't kill" rule, when he is one of the most hardcore MFs-kinda on par with wolverine and the punisher in terms of kill count and brutality.
He has had many multiple origin stories which convoluted him, but a recent retcon funneled all of them into one.
Basically, long before any known time, Katar H'al was a conqueror who led an army in the universe called the deathbringers and used them to wreak havoc on life. He had the highest body count, in the name of a dark god. However, after a point, he started feeling remorse which led to one of his closest friends and generals backstabbing him. In his final moments of death, another deity gave him a boon-to atone for all his sins and to save as many people as he can to equal the death toll he caused throughout the universe, he will be reborn again and again, through space and time across the DC multiverse. He has had many incarnations-an egyptian prince, an alien space cop, hell, even a kryptonian scientist. But the one in the movie, carter hall, is the newest one-an archeologist. He may use a suit built with nth metal, and has had a lifetime of war.
Keep the tidbits coming.
The comic information on the villain's name Sabbac is an acronym for the six beings who empower Sabbac: the demons Satan, Aym, Belial, Beelzebub, Asmodeus and Crateis.
If Satan is canon in the DC universe, does that also mean that God Himself is there? O_O
@@Shythalia Yes. He is the one that commands the Spectre. He is called The Presence.
There's also Lucifer Morningstar
dr. Fate is what you call a sorcerer or master of mystic artes, and has various magics since the helmet is somewhat an ancient artifact...in television series in the cartoons of young justice, he is called the lord of order where he is a counterpart of chaos magic, he balances order and chaos...
doctor fate was made before doctor strange and hawkman was made before falcon
As fair as your comments were about the Justice Society being similar to the Marvel character, DC and Marvel rip off each other a lot. A lot of Marvel characters are ripped off from DC but Marvel benefits from having more movies and releasing their characters on the big screen first. Love the reactions as always guys
We did look it up after cameras cut. We saw that Fate debuted in May of 1940. And Atom Smasher was 10 or so years before Deadpool. At least this movie gave us the opportunity to look this up so we can be a little educated. 🤙🤙
@@BaddMedicine Marvel rip offs DC waaaay more. Marvel even too the name Marvel from Captian Marvel (Shazam)
@@eingoluq nah, both company copy each other a lot. Also shazam (captain Marvel) was created by fawcett comics and dc later owned the character and marvel owned the name for their superhero
@@ashwanthss5042 it is well known Marvel copies DC vastly more than the other way around.
And yes the point is marvel ripped off the name from captain marvel. So they rip of everybody. That was the point I was making
The movie was actually quite enjoyable. I do wish Smasher and Cyclone had more characterisation to them. Like, you could cut off Smasher completely and the movie would not change. Also, Doctor Fate needs his own prequel/TV show. Pierce Brosnan OWNED that role.
Dr. Fate's helmet is from earth. It's possessed by Nabu (one of the Lords of Order), an ancient sorcerer that possesses anyone that puts on the helmet. It chooses who gets to wear it, and it's pretty much indestructible. It just returned to the "Tower of Fate", a magic tower where the holder of the helmet lives. It's waiting until the next time he's needed, then Nabu will choose the next Dr. Fate...as long as you agree to terms...
Adam Smasher's mask is exactly as it is in the comics.
Adam: “This place doesnt need a hero, it needs a protector”
Mom: “So what should we call you?”
….LETHAL PROTECTOR

I really liked this movie! The Rock was so good as Black Adam and Pierce Brosnan was perfect as Doctor Fate. I really hope they make a sequel
People went nuts to see Cavill pop up at the end.
This movie is so good! Did not expect that, but i loved it
Reminds me of those early 2000's marvel movies but with epic action sequences. Just pure fun for me.
A lot of these characters did come a bit before marvel started to re-purpose those types of characters and give them a marvel twist.
I really enjoyed this, sure nothing much is new in this movie but at the same time I think they handled it pretty well. Sure its flawed but I think its a good time.
I’ve been having great times with lots of your videos, how fortunate I am too see you guys’ reaction on some of DC characters like Wonder Woman, Man of Steel, Bat vs Sup, Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
Please I need more.
In all honesty, Dr. Fate absolutely destroys Black Adam, but in this case, they had to nerf him to prop up Black Adam a bit. However, Black Adam is still very strong as he went toe to toe with Superman and Shazam at the same time. It was actually a really good animated film. In the end, Dr. Fate was heavily nerfed. And in the debate between Dr. Fate vs Dr. Strange, Dr. Fate still wins.

However, contrary to what Johnson said during his conversation with MTV, Superman and Black Adam do not have all the same powers. In fact, if you look at what Black Adam is capable of overall, he’s actually arguably more powerful than Superman.
Black Adam
Supernatural Strength: Black Adam has the strength of the Gods, making him far stronger than any human and most superhumans and putting him on equal terms with the likes of Superman and Ultraman. His most impressive demonstration of strength shows when he along with Sinestro, moved Prime Earth's moon [roughly 73,430,000,000,000,000,000 tonnes] back into orbit suggesting he has near limitless strength. As such Teth Adam can easily lift and toss around vehicles and take full grown men apart limb from limb and physically dismantle battle attested rigs like tanks or army jeeps with little to no effort. Knocking around Ultraman and a mystically empowered Alex Luther around with a punch with moderate exertion, though his upper limits are still undisclosed. Ultraman is not the only Superman-level threat Adam's dealt with, either. When he was a Yellow Lantern, he managed to punch the spit out of a superior, amped Mongul. And once his ring was charged an extra hundred percent, they were placed on even ground and Adam pummeled him with ease. In Doomsday Clock, it was implied that Adam punched Superman through multiple buildings and down a street.
Superman's Powers and Abilities
The powers of the DC Comics character Superman have changed a great deal since his introduction in the 1930s. As the character developed, his abilities were enhanced in order to maintain the interest of his audience. The extent of his powers peaked during the 1970s and 80's, to the point where it became difficult to create suitable challenges for the character. As a result, his powers were significantly reduced when his story was rebooted by writer John Byrne after the Crisis on Infinite Earths series. After Byrne's departure, Superman's powers were gradually increased again, although he still remains weaker than his Pre-Crisis incarnation.
Golden Age Superman
As presented in the original 1930's comic strip, Superman's powers were indigenous to those of all Kryptonians. In the origin stories of the comic books and comic strip, Kryptonians were shown using the same powers that Superman would have on Earth. Later, Krypton's larger size and gravity was given as an explanation for the character's powers.
Silver/Bronze Age (Pre-Crisis) Superman
Superman's powers were enhanced and added to from the 1940s until the mid-eighties. His powers were explained as a result of two factors: the comparatively weaker gravity of Earth, and the intensity of Earth's yellow sun. As such, Superman's powers were negated if he entered an environment similar to that of Krypton, such as the bottle city of Kandor, or if he was exposed to the solar energy of a red sun. In Silver Age stories, the powers and limitations of Superman were instantly possessed by any Kryptonians exposed to Earth or Earth-like conditions. Individuals from the planet Daxam, such as Mon-El, possessed identical powers, but were invulnerable to Kryptonite and highly susceptible to lead poisoning.
Post-Crisis
When the Superman character was revised by John Byrne shortly after Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was decided to place restrictions on his abilities. This was designed to make it easier for writers to come up with suitable challenges for the hero, and to eliminate or reduce those powers that had become too sensational or unbelievable for modern audiences. Emphasis was placed on yellow sun energy as a source for the character's powers. Superman's origin story was altered so that his powers developed gradually as his body absorbed yellow sunlight, and stories such as the Final Night series depicted the character gradually losing his powers when deprived of the sun's energy. When Superman's reserves of solar energy were depleted, as in Infinite Crisis or the Death of Superman story arcs, he required an extended period of time under a yellow sun, or some type of artificial solar enhancement in order to recharge.
Power Reduction Superman's strength was reduced to the point where he could still move tremendous amounts, but the character no longer had the ability to move planets. His speed was also reduced so that he could not exceed the speed of light. While still capable of surviving a nuclear explosion, such events would severely weaken him. Superman's sight, stamina and breath powers were also similarly reduced, and the character was also shown as requiring an oxygen mask for prolonged travel in space or underwater. His mental abilities were also curtailed to the point where intelligent humans, like geniuses Lex Luthor or Batman, could possibly outsmart him. The powers of super-ventriloquism and super-hypnosis were not generally used during this period, although it was never stated whether they had been eliminated or not.
Modern Era
After Byrne's departure from the series, Superman's powers and abilities were once again increased over time. He regained the ability to travel interstellar distances and to hold his breath for the amount of time required to make such journeys. His strength, speed, and sensory abilities were again increased, although not to Pre-Crisis levels.
The comparative weakness of the Superman character to his Pre-Crisis incarnation was definitively shown during Infinite Crisis. The Superboy-Prime character, endowed with nearly the same power levels as the Silver Age Superman, was capable of defeating large numbers of DC universe heroes, including the Teen Titans and many members of theGreen Lantern Corps. The Modern Era Superman and his Earth 2 counterpart were only able to defeat Superboy-Prime after plunging him through Krypton's red sun, thereby reducing his powers.
Comparative strength
While Superman is frequently assumed to be the strongest hero in the DC universe, following the Byrne reboot, his strength tends to fluctuate depending on the amount of solar energy his cells have absorbed and the writer of the particular story. He has received a temporary boost in power after surviving a plunge into the Sun, and has had his powers depleted when deprived of such energy. The limits of how much energy Superman can absorb, and by extension the maximum limits of his power, has never been stated. Additionally, because of the solar energy that empowers him, he has often been depicted as being potentially immortal, as well as having a different ageing process, as seen in the Grant Morrison written series set in the far future of the DC Universe, DC One Million.The canonicity of this series is unknown.
Characters such as Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter have been described variously over time as equals, at least equal (possibly superior), or, in the last case, even superior. Captain Marvel has been able to knock him out with 1-2 punches by taking him by surprise,and Superman has stated outright that the latter has the advantage in a fist-fight due to his magic-derived powers. When the Modern Era Supergirl was introduced, it was suspected that she was stronger than her cousin, but this was due to the fact that Superman had learned to restrain his strength through years of living with weaker individuals, an ability that Kara Zor-El had not yet learned.
It is important to note that while Superman is among the strongest DC heroes, there are many who match his strength, most notably Darkseid, Bizarro, Lobo, the Cyborg Superman, Eradicator, the original Mongul, General Zod and Black Adam, while Doomsday and Despero have occasionally been shown as stronger, the former being able to effortlessly stand his ground against the entire Justice League, and the latter defeating Superman, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, and Power Girl at the same time. Heroes and villains with magical capabilities, like the Spectre, Zatanna, and Doctor Fate, have displayed cosmic level power vastly beyond Superman's capabilities. The Flash possesses the ability to travel at the speed of light, shunting his mass towards infinity, and enabling him to perform such feats as defeating a white martian with one punch, or almost overcoming the Anti-Monitor singlehandedly. Hal Jordan, with the will-fueled power of the Green Lantern ring, has also been cited as being a match for Superman, being able to lay him down with one punch while possessed by Parallax. The Guardians of the Universe allegedly possess abilities dwarfing those of regular Green Lantern Corps members. Kyle Rayner, inhabited by the benevolent symbiote "Ion", was recently touted as the most powerful of Earth's superheroes. Maxima, has many powers such as telepathy and psi-bolts that have knocked out Orion, who is on equal footing to Superman, effortlessly. She also possesses Matter Manipulation, Telekinesis, and possession abilities that would make her a threat to the entire Justice League. Maxima also can hold her own against Doomsday in strength and can increase her physicallity to infinite levels.
One villain that is often portrayed as vastly superior to Superman in every way is the five-dimensional entity Mr. Mxyzptlk. While the limits and nature of Mxyzptlk's powers is unclear, he is often portrayed as being, for all practical purposes, 'omnipotent,' and his encounters with Superman often amount to him simply toying with the Man of Steel.
________
Superman (Clark Kent) Weaknesses
Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Superman possesses the same potential weaknesses as an average Kryptonian. These include:
Vulnerability to Kryptonite
Vulnerability to Magic
Solar Energy Dependency: Kryptonian abilities will eventually weaken without replenishing their energy reserves with normal (yellow) sun radiation. When exposed to the same red solar radiation as Krypton's red sun Rao, it causes Kryptonians to lose their powers within a large amount of exposure until exposure to yellow sunlight reverses this effect. When exposed to orange solar radiation from a different galaxy, Superman's strength and abilities will drastically diminished, eventually weakening him. The radiation also affects his intellectual capacity and reduces his ability to think.
Sensory Overload: With his extremely acute senses, Superman can be overtaxed to the point of pain when encountered by extreme external stimuli such as hypersonics (hearing), balance, sight (flash bang).
Radiation Poisoning: Superman was exposed to deadly radiation during his encounter with the aliens from the Breach, causing him to rapidly age. He slowed the progression of his condition via regular infusions of rejuvanating magic from Enchantress, but this was undone by a sorceress working for Mongul.
Power Limitation: Superman's sickness has caused his powers to fade and weaken. Although still significantly stronger than a human he is less powerful than an average healthy Kryptonian.
Just want it pointed out, because everyone thinks Marvel characters always debuted first because of the MCU and act liked DC ripped off Marvel, which both companies did, blatantly, but Dr. Fate debuted in 1940, Dr. Strange in 1963. Atom Smasher in 1983, Deadpool in 1991. Hawkman in 1940, Falcon in 1969.
The only superhero movie ive ever seen was BvS ultimate edition. Ive seen the major parts of the big marvel movies like the ending of infinity war and endgame just cause youtube prevents me from NOT seeing that shit. But BvS was really enjoyable for me
Unsure if said, but Atom Smasher and Cyclone are originally grandkids of original JSA members. Cyclone grew up admiring them a lot, and the man who kidnapped her is supposed to be a man named T.O. Morrow, who makes androids with powers.
Intergang also gets their supplies/weapons from Apokolips. So Darkseid's people. Who you see in ZS Justice League.
Doctor Fate's First Appearance
Doctor Fate made his first appearance in "More Fun Comics #55" in May 1940, during the Golden Age of Comic Books. Meanwhile, Doctor Strange made his comic book debut in "Strange Tales no. 110" in July 1963.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
BADD MEDICINE IS BACK
IT'S MY FIRST TIME WATCHING TOO
I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH WITH YOU GUYS ❤❤
Let's gooooo!
❤Dwayne is such a good sport 🤗love him to bits
Atom came before Ant-man and Deadpool and he's appeared in several TV series such as The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and Batwoman
I love when horror directors make superhero movies
fun fact, they tried to get him to wear a fake muscle suit for the movie and he refused and said he wanted to train his body and beef up for the movie, so theres no cg on his muscles or anything
Hawkman, the atom, and doctor fate all debuted in 1940 over 20 years before their parallels. For casual viewers i can see where on the surface these characters are similar. But the lore and depth between characters are all vastly different. Especially when you consider the fact that these 3 jsa heroes are all legacy characters
Yeah DC has to figure out how to make there characters really stand out and they have to figure out how to develop these characters instead of just throwing them together. But this movie wasn’t bad. It was really fun.
It's funny how just because MCU got big first, everybody thinks DC just copied all of Marvel's characters, which in fact both sides stole designs from the other.
Yeeeessssss! I loved this movie in the theater, it was a fun thrill side
In my honest opinion on why Hurut transferred his powers completely to his father to save his life.
Because Hurut thanked his father for what he was.
Through his father's important teachings, lessons, and guidance Hurut was inspired by him to become a hero and the true champion of Kahndaq.
He is a 3-4 level character. Not until the last 5 years or so he was in the dust. Just like Ironman, Black widow, Hawk eye, and Falcon. Before 2006, they all were D-list heroes.
The Justice Society is the first superhero team ever in the comics and predates Justice League too. All the heroes you saw Dr Fate, Hawkman, Atom Smasher were created before the Marvel characters you mentioned.
I liked this movie. Action was fantastic plus The Rock as Adam was perfect and the Justice Society was solid. But man, did the non-superpowered characters annoy the hell out of me, especially the Mother. I was on her side at first but she kept acting so sanctimonious and ridiculous when her choices kept making everything worse. Wanted Hawkman to tell her to shut the hell up at the end of the movie. Lol Stellar reaction as always fellas.
Didn't even know this movie was a thing. I always just assumed Black Adam would debut in Shazam 2
“It’s been a while since anyone has made the world… this nervous… Black Adam.”
When in doubt, assume that a character showed up in DC first and then a similar hero was added to Marvel. You’ll be correct 7/8 out of 10, probably.
I think that it was a good movie for what it was, but could have better if the focus was on JS against Black Adam and ignore the demon bad guy.
It was fine, better than a lot of other DC submissions so it worked
Oh, sorry - great job as usual!
Back in comic book days, Marvel and DC were competitors. When 1 would create a character, the other would make a similar character. That why you see that...
Didn’t think I would like this film as much as I did.
Hopefully this comment doesnt get too buried but let me say that I absolutely love you guys and want you to keep this up. My girlfriend and I just spent the entire day watching your Harry Potter reactions and we loved every moment of it. I liked this movie quite a bit mainly because we got to see the JSA and especially Doctor Fate... I think Batman and Superman are wonderful but they have a new movie every couple of years while this may likely be it for the JSA unless James Gunn decides to use them... So just wanted to give you guys some background info on Doctor Fate since he is my fave superhero and I might not get this chance again... He's got an absolutely tragic backstory where as a little kid he was exploring an ancient tomb in mesopotamia with his father. During the excavation he pulls a lever which releases an ancient deity named Nabu. Unfortunately it also releases a gas which kills his father. Nabu then essentially brainwashes and traps him inside the tomb and teaches him sorcery for years before eventually transforming him into an adult. Nabus final act is to release young Doctor Fate from his mind control who in retribution for the death of his father destroys the corporeal form of Nabu and turns him into the Helm of Fate (Nabu). Doctor Fate is DCs magical powerhouse.. the last line of defense in many cases where magical and multiversal threats are concerned. As far as his powers are concerned his magic allows him to do pretty much anything he wants to. In response to the question that the Oak posed.. in the comics Doctor Fate wouldn't have needed the JSAs help to deal with Black Adam and Sabbac he's above them in terms of power plus Nabu and Teth Adam have known each other for millennia. What makes Fate interesting is the constant battle for control Kent Nelson has to engage in since while wearing the Helm of Fate Nabu is mostly in control. Anyways thats enough of my nerd rant... Keep doing what you are doing it's fantastic!
“ I just wish they did a better job telling us more about these characters instead of shoving them in our faces”

DC recently stated that the Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds is actually cannon with the DCEU. The Green Lantern's we saw in Justice League were the same exact characters who were teaching Hal Jordan how to use his ring in that movie.

Most of dc characters were made well before marvel (in the comics). dr fate was before dr strange. Atom smasher before ant man and hawkman above falcon. Also I believe the justice society was the first superhero group made before justice league, avengers and x men
Hawk man is about as old as Teth Adam. He has been continually reincarnated since the old kingdom of Egypt. He does have powers of flight and super strength as well as a host of mystic artifacts.
Well I just wanted to give it a shout out to Dwayne Johnson because he has a acting advice from his career when he was doing movies
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this film
I enjoyed the movie but I wish to see more of Dr. Fate. I'm sad he died. :(
Whenever you make superheroes & villains, there will always be similarities. It's difficult to make anything original now. But even as a casual Marvel fan myself, DC has always been the number one in the superhero comic book industry. They're like the pioneers. Marvel is still great, of course. They've also done a lot of great things.
Regarding people giving it negative reviews. It was a comic book movie and it delivered. Great soundtrack. Nice to see a character show no mercy. How I would like to see Superman and Batman.
it's funny how dc originates most of their characters before marvel but marvel ends up adapting them first before dc lol
Dr. FATE originated in 1940. Dr. Strange followed in 1963.
Dr. Fate is actually stronger than dr. strange. He's been around longer and is an actual God. One of the strongest characters in the Dc Universe.
I can’t wait to watch this! I’ll probably have to rent it tonight just to watch the full movie.
The last 2 minutes of this video made me subscribe. I agree with Diamond Dave 100%, The legendary Christopher Reeves theme, just, don't, touch it. Hans Zimmerman would have been perfect in that scene, that decision is beyond mind bottling.
11:43 Actually in comics it took the ENTIRE Justice League, not just core members, to go toe to toe with him. 😊
And that is why the DCEU is a wasted mess.
Imagine if they didn't rush Doomsday, Steppenwolf and Darkseid and had Shazam been introduced earlier. Black Adam could've been the Justice League movie's first villain.
If the Black Adam were to have sequels, the mother would eventually become Black Adam's girlfriend. She would also become powerful and become the iconic legendary character, Isis. Maybe you guys remember the old TV series, Isis? Look it up! -OG
I think a 4 is fair for this , I really enjoyed it but it got destroyed by lots hahah. - do wish it was a lot darker though , it was marketed by everyone years before it was announced to be really dark as it’s a villain story , like I expected the justice society to all be killed by Adam . But then the Batman was marketed to be super horror and dark too when it wasn’t that dark
What's super horror i think Batman was fine
Amon is supposed to become Osiris in the future, well idk if they're going to follow the comics storyline with it
Watching through y'alls superhero movie reactions and loving it! Just a quick question: Will y'all be watching Blue Beetle at any point? It's a great movie and technically the start of the new DCU since he'll be returning in future films!! Would love to see the reaction to it.
One time in the comics Black Adam was only allow to leave his country as a member of The Justice Society it didn't last very long. Shazam also became a member in the comics.
He also bestows powers to Adriana and her son in the comics. Though they were brother and sister in the Comics not mother and son.
Loved every second of this video ITS ABOUT DRIVE
If Hawkeyes ship is indestructible what tools do they use to make screws or plates to build it. How do you machine or tool something indestructible?
After this you should..check the Dr. Fate's Origin
i dont know much about cyclone or dr fate but hawkman and atom smasher were both in the tv dcu shows on occasion
people were complaining that dr fate is a copy of dr strange, but actually dr fates character was introduced first in the comics,
Bro protect The Oak at all freaking costs man!!!
I LOVE TO SEE Wonder Woman vs Black Adam !!!!!
"We should talk."
I don't think they're gonna talk. 😅
😂😂😂
10/10 Action
4/10 All the rest
Literally only went in theatres to see it for the action
1:11:26 Mark! 104,144 Views + Mine! 🎉 4K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 Guys, you're welcome, and thanks! 😊
Notes: "Atom Smasher"? Well, "DC" also has "The Atom"! The singer "Adam Ant" got his stage name from the "Hanna-Barbera" character "Atom Ant" whose costume resembles that of "The Atom"! He could shrink to smaller sizes, hence his name, while "Doll Man" didn’t shrink smaller than a "Ken" doll from "Mattel"! The only other guy that I can think at the moment with "Smasher" in his name is "The Spy Smasher"! But when World War 2 ended, so did his career. I'm not sure if he got to come back for the Cold War. 🤔
The only live-action version of "The Atom" that we have was played by actor Brandon Routh for the set of series set in "The Arrowverse" on "The CW"! ("Constantine" was on "NBC" for only one season. "Supergirl" began on "CBS" but ended on "The CW"!)
Instead of being a man in a tight costume, this version wore an armored suit that allowed him to be like both "Ironman" and "Ant-Man/Giant Man"! Whereas in the comics, he could shrink and grow organically.
Brandon Routh's "Superman" and "The Atom" met because of the "Crisis On Infinite Earths" and somehow one was taller than the other!
"Hawkman"! He was created during legal Segregation during the "Golden Age of Comics" and he was an Egyptian Prince reincarnated! During the "Silver Age of Comics" he became a Thanagarian. Both version met amd both were drawn as White guys! "The CW" used the reincarnation theme too, but with "Hawkgirl" included. Both White!
This movie version finally gave us someone who looked like he was from Africa! 🎉 (I never noticed how Charleton Heston's version of "The Ten Commandments" was so full of Whites until I saw the relatively recent remake with an authentic looking and sounding cast! 😁 (No Bronx accents!)
"CBS" during the 1970s gave us their "Saturday Morning Children's Programming Block" series known as "The SHAZAM - Isis Hour" or something like that. This movie gave us our first live-action "Isis" since that series! She is the mother/sister character!
But just as "Archer" was affected by the existence of a terrorist group called "I.S.I.S." so was "DC" in general and this movie in particular. 😮
If you want more, then you should teact to "DC's League of Super Pets"! Krypto and Black Adam's dog have their own talk! 😂😅
Bye-bye for now! Namaste! 🙏
You guys do really realize that pretty much Marvel & DC characters all parallel eachother literally but if you are just a casual viewer of the films and don’t know the comics of course you won’t know that
Can’t really be a casual comic book fan if you can’t depict the two, Marvel and DC separately.
Dr. Fate appeared in comics in May 1940 and Dr Strange didn't come in till July 1963. As a die hard comic fan its funny when people think DC copies Marvel but sometimes they both do the same thing. The same common comparison is just like "Deathstroke and Deadpool" saying they look alike which is not untrue honestly lol but it shows they copy each other or just take inspiration from each other. I agree with more character development for the characters in the JS because people who don't read comics don't know about these characters. Hawkman did appear in Justice league the cartoon in the 90's but not everyone watched it so I would've loved seeing them explain more for them. Especially, how strong DR. fate is and I also love atom's back story because people I know compare him to Ant Man because he can grow in size. But, some of the action is good just it's always the writing for some reason with DC.
Where's the scene of those 3 trying to carry the rock up the 3 flights of stairs😂😂
Black Adam: Do you really think you could defeat me on a one on one fight just because you are more powerful than me?
Superman: Ye....
Black Adam: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pop! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just don't get the hate this movie gets. It's not perfect but damn this movie was entertaining as heck! 💯
Black adam has same powers as SHAZAM which his movie explains what they are and where they come from.
They are nearly equals in strength. In fact, Black Adam is one of the few people on earth that superman realizes he can't hold back against, and even acknowledges that he has the chance to really let loose with him. Black Adam has beaten Martian Man hunter, who is actually stronger than superman, Power girl, superman's cousin, and the rest of the JSA by himself.
Not even considering physical strength between Superman and Black Adam, Superman has struggled against him in the past because Black Adam’s power is also based of magic which is one of the few things Superman is vulnerable to.
As a Marvels fan I like this movie actually, the fight scene was so good. I wonder BlackAdam vs Superman , who’s gonna win?
23:06 That's what I saiiidddd. Why tf they keep threatening him 🤣🤣🤣
Dr. Fate is original and Dr. Strange is his copy and Atom Smasher came before Deadpool
Marvel brought the characters to the big screen first.
I didn't catch the Harcourt cameo on my first watch either.
This is basically DCs Infinity War
The Justice Society is the VERY FIRST SUPERHERO TEAM
I forgot one thing.. Plus he controls the living lightening yepp a force/ energy which probably destroy almost anything.
