Well here we go, after one Captain Marvel, we jump right into another with Shazam. Shazam is another character I am sad to admit I'm not terribly familiar with. I have seen him more often in supporting roles over time such as in Young Justice and the Injustice comic series. I know he is a young boy named Billy Batson who receives power from a wizard named Shazam. Upon saying the name, he is struck by a bolt of lightning and transforms. Shazam (the hero) has the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and finally the speed of Mercury. Beyond that all I really know is that one of his main foes is Black Adam, who will eventually be played by Dwayne Johnson. Leading up to this gave me about the same feeling I had when going into Captain Marvel. There's this excitement of not knowing much about the character and getting truly introduced to them with them being front and center.   Obviously with DC's...

Going into Marvel's newest film, Captain Marvel, gave me a bit of a nostalgic feeling. For once, probably since   Guardians of the Galaxy, I had a character that I didn’t know much about. I knew the basics of Carol Danvers, having seen her some as Mrs. Marvel and as Captain Marvel in other comic series, but I had never read one of her own series. On top of that, the most recent event I had read that featured her was Civil War 2 which wasn’t the most well received take on the character. So going into this, I got to pretty excited. The trailers already made the film look pretty great to me, but being able to go into this without having to have much concern as to “well, It isn't like this in the comic" or “that's not accurate,” it was kind of nice. Though typically I do my best to ignore that sort of thing anyway because the MCU is it's own separate entity. Nonetheless, my excitement was high and I have to say, I did not leave disappointed. As bad as it is, ...
