Black Adam getting Confused
I was reading the wiki trying to learn more about Theo Adam, and on the page I read that he was just evil and essentially just killed the Batsons for a scarab. That’s it. Then Adam possessed him. See, the wiki doesn’t say if Adam has any of Theo’s memories, but what if he did?
Adam’s pissed. He wants to take down the current champion. So, he flies to Fawcett to take him out. He’s then met with a golden retriever of a man who feels familiar and a looks a little too excited to be seeing Adam. Did the wizard not tell this oaf about him?
Marvel: “This is awesome! I’ve never met someone like me!” *starts yapping about how it’s awesome to meet another champion*
Black Adam: *not even listening, the words sound like this to him, is just thinking of where he knows this man is from*
Marvel: *still yapping*
Black Adam: *gets hit with a flashback so hard you would’ve thought it was a flash-bang. Remembers stabbing C.C. in the back, literally, and leaving him to die*
Marvel: *asks Adam something*
Black Adam: “What was that?” *is literally reliving when Theo went after Marilyn next*
Marvel: “What’s your name?”
Black Adam: *stares for a few moments, confused, wondering if Marvel remembers him*
It’s not like this deters Adam though. He still thinks the man is his sworn enemy. They still fight to near deaths and all that, but the memories bother Adam. Not because he was ashamed Theo killed Batson in such an underhanded way (he was just a tad bit), but rather because he doesn’t know how the man is alive. As far as Adam knew, dead people couldn’t just come back and be champions. If that were the case, wouldn’t the very first champion still be the current one?
Teth finally got to ask his question after a particularly brutal fight that messed the both of them up. Adam was on the ground, nose bloody, but nothing more. The current champion never went anything further than immobilizing him. It infuriated him, but since the man gave him more chances to kill him, whether it be on purpose or not, he’d let the matter go. Speaking of the man, he was standing, lip split open, bruises on his face, one of his eyes was half closed and had blood leaking from it, a consequence of Adam aiming for his eye. The current champion’s appearance once again reminded him of Batson once more.
Black Adam: “How’re you alive?”
Marvel: “Huh? What?”
Black Adam: “You should’ve died. In a tomb.” *coughs* “He used the knife. He let you bleed out. The tomb was collapsing and you should’ve only been a normal human being at the time.”
Marvel: *slowly coming to a realization that, holy fudge sticks, Adam thinks he’s his dad*
Black Adam: “So tell me, how are you alive?”
Marvel: *is silent for a bit and definitely won’t turn down the chance to make his dad sound like a badass* “I refused to die.”
Black Adam: “…What?”
Marvel: “I refused to die. I couldn’t leave my wife, my children, my friends, everyone I knew behind. So, I refused to die. I crawled out of the tomb and then the Wizard found me.”
That was actually true. Well, everything but the Wizard thing. In this AU, when C.C. had been stabbed, he managed to crawl out of the tomb, even with a leg that had gotten crushed by debris. Though unfortunately, he died due to blood loss soon after. This was all detailed in a newspaper Billy happened to find about a week after he got kicked out of the house by Ebenezer.
By the way, during that entire speech about making his dad sound like a badass, Marvel didn’t smile. And if Teth was being honest, he uh… he didn’t like that. Mostly because even during the times Marvel fought him, he still smiled at him. He didn’t know how to feel about an unsmiling Marvel. So now, back in Kahndaq, Teth sat on his throne kind of just running the entire interaction through his head over and over again.
But you see, this isn’t the only time Adam’s been completely befuddled by Billy. There was a time he went to Fawcett in disguise and happened to me a certain someone…
Black Adam: *walking down the sidewalk*
Billy: *running down the sidewalk, bumps into him, and then looks up to Adam*
Black Adam: “Watch where you’re going-” *almost goes into cardiac arrest when he sees a kid that looks exactly like his nephew, just white*
Billy: “Sorry, Mister.” *continues running*
Black Adam: *watches him run off with a mortified look on his face*
When he tries to find out more about the kid that bumped into him, he had been pronounced missing and presumed dead. This made Adam kind of feel like shitting himself because for a brief moment he entertained the thought that his nephew had reincarnated or something.

You know, i wanna expand a bit on Billy’s relationship with Ebenezer, because I feel like it’s so important to dissecting Billy’s character.
⚠️If you don’t wanna read about my thoughts on Billy’s mental abuse by his only adult relative, then please click away⚠️
My mind went back to the fact that Billy couldn’t go with his family to Egypt solely because of his lacking grades. I wondered, E must know, right? Maybe he was told in passing, maybe Billy told him and asked him for help studying, whatever. And I just know that he made fun of and ridiculed him. He likely called him dumb, moronic, any name in the book.
Ebenezer constantly relayed to him and validated the notion that Billy stopped HIMSELF from being with his family in their last moments. That he was too stupid to be with them.
With that in mind, he would have had to be solely dependent on his uncle. Unfortunately, that’s not possible. He’d have no choice but to trust him, but we know that backfires. His only reprieve is school, so when he gets home, Ebenezer would tell him to put his stupid brain to good use.
Anyone can sneak and buy beer. Even an idiot like him.
The basis for their entire relationship is that Billy looks like his dad. Hell, he practically worships him. But because Ebenezer can’t very well scare his younger brother(height mixed with a strong personality), he goes for the closest thing. A spitting image of his half-brother who still hasn’t developed mentally and barely exhibits any traits.
It will take years for Billy to realize that Ebenezer is a coward. Until then, that man is his worst nightmare. He’s the thing he fears most in this world. Forget Black Adam, Darkseid, and Mr. Mind. Merely thinking of Ebenezer Batson, the man who belittled him so much that he has trouble trusting himself, causes him to shut down or divert away from those thoughts.
Just like his dad, Billy is everything Ebenezer isn’t. He’s young. He’s talented. He’s charming. He has opportunity. And he believes in himself because his parents made sure he did. So the worst possible thing Ebenezer could ever do to his nephew is mess up all that careful development.
“Are you sure they loved you?”
“Are you sure you can do this?”
“You’re the only one who stopped you from being with them.”
“When are you going to realize that you can’t do anything right?”
Ebenezer Batson is the only person in the world who knows the one other way he could crush his nephew’s spirit. Ruining Captain Marvel’s image.
Because he definitely “knows” knows. CC’s face on Marvel tells him everything he should know.
The one thing, above all, that could crush his nephew’s spirit into dust, is ruining Captain Marvel’s image. Because it’s genuinely all he has left of his dad. He’s the only way he can see his dad talking and moving on screen. It’s like he’s still here, and Billy never wants to ruin that.
But he’s an idiot. That’s what E used to tell him. What if he makes a mistake and no one likes Cap anymore? What if he’s ruined the image of CC Batson(his face, his ideals, his hopes) forever?
Just the fact that it’s not these cosmic beings of mass destruction or mad scientists bent on world domination that shakes Marvel/Billy to his core. It’s this evil old man who knows him better than anyone. Knows how he thinks. Knows what buttons to push to get him angry and look bad. Knows how to lower that self-confidence.

One evening, I got possessed and redesigned Captain Marvel. Well, redesigned and rewrote.
Long explanation about it under the cut.
Captain Marvel is the gods' champion, but in canon, his capacities come from a mix of gods, from both the Roman and the Greek pantheon, and heroes, Greek or biblical. In comparison, Black Adam's capacities come only from Egyptian gods, making him their champion. Therefor, let's bring down SHAZAM to just Greek gods, as we need Zeus for the thunder. There's also a period during which Mary Marvel gets her capacities from a mix of goddesses and one god, so let's mix the gender again. Here is the new hexad:
S - the stamina of Selene - Selene is the goddess of the moon, who, like her brother with the sun, drags the moon behind her chariot. But, if the sun disappears each night (in Greece), the moon stays in the sky for weeks, so stamina! There aren't a lot of Greek gods with name in S, so let me have this (also, I love the moon and any moon goddess).
H - the speed of Hermes - Hermes is the messenger of the male gods, who is known for his speed, because of the wings on his ankles. Nothing more complicated.
A - the strength of Atlas - I kept Atlas, but I changed him for strength because holding the world up requires more strength than stamina imo. The representations of Atlas often show a man doing an extreme physical effort, it demonstrates more strength than stamina to me.
Z - the power of Zeus - Didn't change. The king of the gods and the thunder guy.
A - the courage of Ares - Ares is the god of courage, that's in his domain of expertise.
M - the wisdom of Metis - The first goddess of wisdom, eaten by Zeus, and the mother of Athena, the second goddess of wisdom. "But, she's kind of "dead"?" And Black Adam got his power from Aten, who was the only god of the Aten religion of Akhenaton, and so, not with the Egyptian pantheon.
As the champion of the Greek gods, Captain Marvel needs to look the part. I'm a hater of the original latex superhero costume, I want some real fashion. It has served its purpose, it's time to change. Ancient Greece's armors were the principal inspiration, but some other bits of Ancient Greece's fashion were also brought in. Sandals are a bold choice, I admit, but that's what Greeks wore to war and we are talking about an indestructible being. Soldiers also wore what would be considered a skirt now, so I want to include that, and I even thought of a joke: when Billy first transforms, he makes a comment about the "skirt", and the sorcerer goes "Ah yes! When men used to dress like men." (Did you get it? It's a joke about how those bigoted idiots will complain about men wearing anything labelled as "feminine" about how "men don't dress like real men anymore", totally ignorant of how what is "masculine" or "feminine" depends on the time period and culture, and heels were created to make men look powerful and ride horses to war.) However, I'm uncomfortable with skirts in design for flying superheroes, if there's nothing under, so he gets leggings, bringing back some of the original suit. The cape is also asymmetrical.
While researching information about Captain Marvel for this redesign, I learned that DC is evil:
Fawcett Comics created Captain Marvel in the 40s, by taking some inspiration from Superman from Detective Comics, but with a lot of differences still. It was a success, and Captain Marvel became more popular than Superman, selling more than the adventures of Clark Kent. DC didn't like that, and they sued FC for plagiarism, saying Captain Marvel was a copy of Superman. And, for some reason, they won. So, FC had to stop selling Captain Marvel and the Marvel family's comics, and the readers went back to Superman, giving money to DC. Decades goes back, Marvel is born and they create Captain Marvel, the name being free to use. FC, they are not having a good time. There's no money, and so, they are selling. AND WHO BOUGHT THEM? THAT'S RIGHT: DC! And once they own FC, what do DC do? Bring back the cash cow, Captain Marvel! So, it was plagiarism, but only when they couldn't make money from it. They cannot use Captain Marvel anymore because of Marvel, so it's Shazam, but they successfully "stole" the success of a smaller company than them. DC was doing evil capitalism before it was a thing, in the 40s!
Therefore, I can do whatever I want and DC cannot stop me, they don't deserve those characters. And this redesign has now become me rewriting Shazam. So, when Billy transforms into Captain Marvel, he is not another personality (like the current DC's canon), it's still him, but in a young adult body, a body at his peak athletic performance.
Now, Black Adam, which is where I start doing my own story. I will not lie, I knew nothing about Black Adam, apart from the fact that he is a bad guy and he really loves his wife. Well, if he loves his wife, he must be attractive, because that's hot. And Black Adam, born Teth-Adam in Ancient Egypt, is chosen by the sorcerer known as Shazam as his successor. This means two things: 1, Black Adam is an Egyptian, and 2, he is young. In DC's canon, he is Ramesses II' son, but I will just make him from the Ancient Egyptian nobility, but this explains the short/shaved hair, as rich Egyptians would wear wigs and have their hair shaved for hygiene.
Let's talk about the elephant in the room: the absence of a thunderbolt, or more so, it's replacement by an angular sun. Black Adam's power doesn't come for Zeus, a god of thunder, but Aten, a sun god, like Ra. So, Black Adam shouldn't have the abilities to manipulate thunder, but the sun. And not the sun as a ball of burning gaz, the sun as a source of rays of light and heat, like the Egyptians saw it. His power is connected to light, arrows of heat as Egyptians saw it, and the sun is angular to share similarities with the thunderbolt. Like Captain Marvel, he needs to dress like the champion of the gods, Egyptian this time. I took inspiration from Ancient Egypt's armors and fashion: the top being this scaly leather they wore, sandals being back again but Egyptian's style... There are more artistic details in Black Adam's suit to highlight is social class, and there are two kinds of details. The first ones are associated to his power, like his collar, which is a frequent accessory in Ancient Egypt, which has rays to symbolize the rays of the sun, coming from his head, from himself, or his greaves, which also have sunbeams. The second ones are more associated to his culture as an Egyptian and the sun. His forearm armors are imitating the wings added to scarab amulet, which were put over mommies, and these scarabs fly to the sun, aka Ra, with the dead. His cape is also taking the shape of these wings. And his belt displays the eye of Ra, a sun disk with cobras coiled around it, an extension of the god's power, a symbol of his destructive and protective capacities.
To end, this is my rewrite of Shazam's story:
During Ancient Egypt, under Akhenaten so ca 1350 to 1330 before Christ, a sorcerer decided to summon the god Aten with a magic ritual, asking for a champion, a hero to protect humankind. All powerful Aten, impressed to have been summoned by a mere mortal, accepted to fulfill his demand. He called five gods to join him, and each gave a gift, added to his own power of the sun. Aten finally gifted the result to the man, and explained how to summon it: by yelling the gods' names, SHAZAM! Before leaving, the god, moved by the mortal's humility and his care for humankind, gifted him immortality. The sorcerer refused, it's too much. Aten pushed, because a man like this is rare, but he will lower the gift. He will age until a certain age, and then stop, never dying from old age or getting sick. However, he can still get killed. The sorcerer went on to do his mission, why he had called the god, and more as the years went on. Anytime he transformed, he would become the young athletic champion of the Egyptian gods. When he got around 60 years old, he decided to find an heir. He chose Teth-Adam, a young man and member of the Egyptian nobility, who had demonstrated his qualities all around the kingdom. But he, sadly, soon was corrupted by his new power and abused it, trying to take over the throne. The sorcerer had to intervene, but his heir was too strong to kill or to let go of his powers. So, the sorcerer took his soul with the power, and enclosed it in a scarab amulet he buried with the pharaohs. A millennium went by, and the old sorcerer now answered to the name Shazam. With the arrival of Alexander the Great, he went on to travel through the Greek land. But, a new catastrophe was coming, and so, having lost his power, he summoned Zeus like he summoned Aten. Zeus, impressed by the mortal, accepted to redo the gift of the gods. He called five gods and added their gifts to his own power of the thunder. Shazam could save humankind again. Zeus, to applaud his heart, asked him to choose a gift, not for the champion but for himself. Shazam asked to know when he will die, so he could find the perfect heir. The Fates gave him the answer. Shazam, afraid of his last mistake, refused to find an heir for centuries, millennia, and traveled through the world, saving humankind. He had a magic secret temple, on another plane, he could go to. But the date of his death was approaching, and Shazam had yet to find a champion. Everyone he met wasn't good enough for him. His last pick? Billy Batson. And Billy was far from the perfect champion he needed, but not the worst. With no time to waste, Shazam gave his power to Billy, before dying, crushed by a rock. When Billy Batson yells "SHAZAM!", he transforms into an adult version of himself, at his peak athletic performance, and becomes the champion of the Greek gods. The ghost of the sorcerer guides him through his adventures, during which he encounters Teth-Adam, now Black Adam. Teth-Adam's amulet was found by archeologists in the 19th century, and it had strange effects on everyone who landed their eyes on it, people fighting for the small treasure. Finally, one (shitty) archeologist stole the scarab and flew back to the USA with it. As time went on, the amulet's control over him became stronger, and he finally caved into opening it to see what was inside. But, sadly for him, it only contained the powerful soul of once the champion of the Egyptian gods, who took possession of his body and transformed it, killing him in the process. Now, Teth-Adam lives forever as Black Adam.

Combining 'cap is presumed to be kryptonian' with the divine twitch chat with what the wiki calls straight up clairvoyance to create 'cap is assumed to be superman's ancestor come here from krypton millenia ago to protect and guide us'.
Because a) like superman, marvel is widely believed to have no secret identity at all - he bares his face entirely! He's a huge kinda dorky wall of muscle who never says anything worse than heck, everything about that stands out. It's assumed they jet off to the same place on their downtime, the famous fortress of solitude.
B) cap may not have a Supers senses, but between his almost precognition, his uncanny ability to pick up lies, his tendency to suddenly pause and listen to someone unheard before randomly jetting off, and his occasional one sided discussions that leave him with more information than he had before, it's pretty easily implied he has them (it's the chat piping in. He's gotten quite good at filtering out the actually important information).
C) no one really knows how aliens age anyway - and with magic, who knows what an already op hyper advanced alien race could do??? There's substantial proof cap has been around for MILLENIA, if you know where to look (that fact that a good chunk of stuff is Black Adam distresses Billy no end, but it doesn't seem like he left any trace of his evil doings (he rules a country, and ancient murals of you summoning hordes of demons to decimate the earth does not good pr make). He's probably immortal! He talks like he is, sometimes.
D) supes and cap get on really well! Almost... Unusually well. (the Internet reads too much into two dudes who aren't afraid of emotions finding unexpected kinship in their hero life.) there's definitely something else going on there and everyone knows superman is head over heels for batman so it's not that.
E) he's a captain! He's a champion! Apparently his home base can be accessed anywhere in the universe??? Like, say, another planet??
So why did he come to earth? Why did he really only emerge again now, after centuries of total radio silence? It was... Right after superman debuted... Well, give or take a few years, but what's that to an immortal being?!
A jl member brings up the rumours during a meeting and Billy nearly chokes trying not spittake at the justice league table. Superman blue screens visibly.
Then someone asks cap if he's sure his body is human, and??? IS IT??!!! The wizard would have said something, right??!! Ghost or not??
The delay is just long enough to make the gossip mongers interested.

Drunk Off You
mat barzal x model!fem!reader
a visceral in doses fic
warnings: smut!!! curse words, teasing, alcohol consumption, and i think that’s all!
Tumblr media
When you step out of mat’s bathroom, his eyes immediately become glued on you.
His jaw is hanging on the floor, eyes glossed over, you could practically see the drool ready to fall out the corner of his mouth.
The sound of your heels against the hardwood floors snap him out of his daze.
“Whoa,” is the only to come out of his mouth.
“I know it’s going to be cold in the arena, but I wanted to dress up a little,” you explain.
You’re wearing a black mini skirt and mat’s 2019 all-star jersey. A pair of black heels adorning your feet. It’s a bit extra, but you were in the mood to be extra.
“No, no you look amazing. Beautiful as always,” mat compliments
You turn your gaze down, suddenly shy under his smoldering gaze.
He’s sitting on the end of the bed, looking oh so handsome. He’s in his game day suit, muscles dying to break out of the fabric. His hair is fixed with some gel but a strand or two hang around his eyes.
When you step closer to him, he’s quick to spread his legs, readying himself for you to stand in between them.
You bring your hands up to straighten and tighten the tie around his neck. His adam’s apple bobbles when your hands travel to the nape of his neck to softly card through his hair. You know he’s in heaven because he leans his head back and his eyes slowly roll to the back of his head.
His large hands softly rub up and down on the backs of your thighs. Chills left in their path.
His hands feel too good on you. Too good that you feel the need to straddle him. It doesn’t take too long for his hands to firmly settle on your hips. You love the way he feels the need to always have his hands on you.
His pulse quickens, heat spreads up from his neck to his cheeks, creating a soft hue of red to blush the skin. His eyes are focused on your every move.
You give him a sexy smirk as you lean down to trace the tip of your tongue over his pulse point. You hear the hitch in his breath, making heat travel down south. Need infiltrating every nerve in your body.
One of your favorite pastimes is teasing mat. You are the one always teasing him, especially at the most random moments.
One second you’re nipping at his neck and the next mat has his hand wrapped around the back of your neck, connecting your lips in a rough, messy kiss.
Before anything can go further, your phone rings, making you separate your lips from his.
He chases after your lips, a pout forming on them when you get up to see who was calling you.
As you’re talking on the phone, you keep an eye on mat. He runs his hands through his hair, straightens his tie and suit jacket, and wipes off the lipgloss that was left on his face. He also takes a deep breath in and a deep breath out, trying to get himself together.
You check the clock to see that mat should be leaving to the arena at this time, so since you love teasing him, you make sure your back is to him and pretend to fix your heel. When you bend over and skirt rides up a little higher, a guttural groan is heard from him.
When you stand up, he’s already behind you, kissing your neck.
“Hang up,” mat moans into your skin.
“No, anyways you need to get going. Wouldn’t want to be late, would you?” You whisper into his ear then press a kiss to the shell of it.
“You’re evil,” mat groans.
“You love it,” you blow him a kiss.
“I do.”
“That was Billie. She and bev are almost here. You’re still staying the night with me, right? Oh! And billie and Bev will be staying too,” you let him know.
“Yes I will stay with you, and cool! I know you haven’t seen them in a little bit,” mat replies.
“Are you ready for tonight?” Mat questions.
“I am. I feel like it’s time,” you answer confidently.
You had been to a handful of mat’s games, but this is the first that you aren’t going to be hiding, in fact you’re confirming your relationship tonight.
It’s taken a while for both of you to get to this point, but now that you’re here, you couldn’t be happier.
“Babe, I need to get going, but I can’t wait to see you after the game. Have fun,” mat says and gives you a loving kiss that leaves you giddy and blushing.
————————————————————————
Arriving at UBS arena was kind of hectic. There were a lot of people asking Beverly, Billie, and you for pictures. Not wanting to be rude, you all stopped for as many people as possible without missing the puck drop.
You even had enough time to get some pictures taken.
The game through the first period was uneventful. The score still at zero for both teams.
When it was first intermission, you picked your favorite of the pictures and created the instagram post that was going to confirm you and mat being boyfriend and girlfriend.
You hit post.
You were nervous, but you knew that you wanted to post it as soon as possible before word got out that you were in attendance.
You were also lucky that not many fans or people came up to you during the game, leaving you to enjoy one of mat’s last games of the season.
The third period of the game was intense. Mat had got into a fight that resulted in him sitting in the sin bin.
It was your first time witnessing him fight on the ice. It didn’t help with your already heightened nerves. However, mat didn’t seem injured, just roughed up. His adrenaline rush did allow him to score a goal that tied the game at 2-2.
The islanders came out on top with a winning goal from their captain! Everyone was in high spirits. You even got a text from mat during your walk to the locker rooms -where you’d be waiting for him- asking if you wanted to go to the bar with him and his teammates to celebrate the win. Before you responded, you turned to Bev and Billie to see what they thought about it.
“You guys up for the bar?”
“I am pretty beat, so if you don’t mind I’ll just head over to your place,” Beverly replies and Billie agrees with her.
“That’s totally fine. Do you mind if I go? Bev, you have the key to my apartment so you guys can still get in,” you say.
“Of course we don’t mind. Have fun with your boyfriend!”
You happily text mat back to let him know that you’re down.
“Hey we’re actually going to head out now, so just let one of us know when you make it to the bar,” Billie tells you and you nod in understanding.
You’re buzzing with excitement as you wait outside the locker rooms. Mat played well and you know he’s probably still roughed up from his small scuffle. Even if he’s not, you know he’s at least elated about the win and ready to have a good time at the bar.
You’re technically not allowed in a bar because you’re only 20, but mat and the rest of his teammates will help you get in. It’s happened before.
The opening of the door steals all your attention, and when you see mat step out in his suit sans the jacket, your heart races and your eyes glaze over.
You meet mat in the middle, already throwing your arms around his neck the moment he’s within reach. Not a second passes and he already has his arms wrapped around your waist, his hands traveling to the small of your back.
“You’re such a sight. A true smoke show,” mat whispers hotly in your ear then nips at your earlobe which has you leaning even more into his body.
You giggle into his neck, hiding because you know you’re blushing a whole lot.
“Ok, lovebirds gets a room,” you hear Anders tease the both of you.
Mat and you move away from each other, but he doesn’t let you get far because he keeps his hand on your waist.
“Funny,” mat says back sarcastically.
You lean up to give him a quick kiss on the lips, grabbing his hand after so you can lead him out of the arena and head to the bar.
————————————————————————
The bar is packed. Mostly because half the team is here, but also some of the fans that caught wind of that information and decided to follow.
Mat and some of his teammates are sitting at the bar, and you’re standing in front of him, dancing to your heart’s content.
Mat has probably had 4 beers within the last hour and a half, so he’s starting to feel a buzz. Your dancing doesn’t help sober him up.
You make sure that you’re keeping eye contact with him, moving your body slowly and sensually. Each move of your hips is with purpose.
Mat eventually gets fed up with your teasing because he’s pulling you to stand in between his legs, both hands on your hips almost as if he’s trying to stop their sexy movements.
“Kiss me,” mat pleads. His voice loud enough for you to hear but not too loud so that it will drown in the noise surrounding you, not letting anyone else hear what he’s saying.
You lean your face down to his face.
One kiss brushed on his cheek.
One kiss on the other cheek.
A kiss on the nose.
A kiss on the edge of his lips, that sends his head flying back in slight annoyance.
You then grab his cheeks so that his eyes are connected with yours as you finally give him what he wants.
It’s slow. His tongue seeks your bottom lip to ask for permission to enter, and when your tongues meet, the kiss gets a little too passionate for public.
“Wow,” you breathe out once separated from him.
“I know,” he smirking cockily.
“Ok, hotshot,” you push at his chest playfully.
“One more beer and we can leave,” you nod your head at mat’s statement, knowing that one beer will probably turn into three, but it’s ok, as long as he’s happy.
————————————————————————
If your memory serves you correctly, mat didn’t have one more beer, no he had 3 shots instead. You had to haul mat’s big body into your apartment which wasn’t an easy task, but you managed.
He undressed until he was only in his underwear, and fell asleep as soon as his head hit your pillows, only moving to bring you into a spooning position once you were in bed.
Now, as you’re slowly letting the sunlight wake you up, your hand feels around the bed in search of mat. When you don’t feel his body anywhere near you, you let your eyes open, disappointed that he’s not there next to you.
Before you can wonder too much, you hear his laugh and distant talking coming from your kitchen.
Getting up, you see that it’s only 7:30 am. This means that mat woke up, probably showered, and is now making himself breakfast which also means he probably woke up bev and billie.
The scene taking place in your kitchen makes you smile.
Mat, who definitely showered, is making enough eggs to feed a whole team, and Bev is sitting at the island joking around with him.
Bev is the first one to notice your presence, sending a smile your way.
“Morning, sweetheart,” she greets you.
This causes mat to turn around, giving you his brightest smile at your still tired state.
“Morning, babe,” you give a friendly kiss to bev on the cheek before making your way to mat.
You hug mat from behind because he’s busy cooking on the stove, and you don’t want to distract him because you know he’s not too skilled when it comes to the kitchen.
You love leaning your head against his back muscles, anyways. You press a chaste kiss into his shoulder blade while simultaneously rubbing at his abdomen. It makes him tense up, but you know it’s because he’s sensitive when it comes to you touching him anywhere.
“Where’s Billie?” You notice that she isn’t out there with the rest of you, but she could just still be sleeping.
“She had to leave. Needed to catch a flight to LA for studio time,” bev informs you.
“Shit, I forgot. I need to send her a text to let me know when she lands,” you state.
As you walk away towards your phone, mat slaps your ass with no reaction from you as you’re used to the affection, but it has Bev sending a smirk your way.
She remembers how shy mat used to be around your friends. Especially when you first brought him around, but it seems like he is comfortable now.
“She was going to tell you, but she didn’t want to wake you since you got in so late.”
“Yeah, that’s understandable. I don’t know why I’m up right now,” you groan, feeling the ache in your bones from a long day and not too good of a sleep.
“Get some rest. I, however, need to get out of here. Mat, thank you for the eggs and good game last night! Y/n, I will see you at dinner tomorrow, love you.” Bev says as she gathers her belongings and heads to the door.
“Yes, love you. Sorry i wasn’t much fun last night.”
“No. You’re fine! You deserved to show him a good time,” she winks at you and then leaves.
You turn around and head for mat who’s now sitting down, eating.
“Baby, why are you up so early?” You ask as you wrap your arms around his upper body in a tight hug.
“My body woke up at like 6 and I could feel my hangover kicking in, so I decided to shower it off,” he sighs.
“Have you been drinking water?”
“Yeah, I feel better, but I think we should just stay in today,” he tells you and you agree with him.
“I saw your posts from last night,” you grin into his neck at his words, suddenly bashful.
“What did you think?”
“Loved them both.”
You posted pictures from the game, but you also posted pictures from the bar, of you and him. Letting everyone know that the rumors were true.
You grin up at him, happy that your secret wasn’t a secret anymore. Mat returns your grin but also leans down so he can kiss you.
It takes all of 5 seconds before the kiss deepens. The weight of mat’s hands on your hips is comforting, yet exciting. The feel of his tongue dragging along your bottom lip, begging for entrance makes you groan almost silently. The tension between your bodies swallows you whole.
You and mat haven’t been intimate together yet, despite having heavy makeout sessions with lots of touching and grinding. Now things are about to change and you were ready for it.
“I want you,” you whisper against his lips, your cheeks flushing at what’s about to happen.
The second mat nods his head in affirmation, you’re lowering yourself onto your knees. You make sure to pepper small, sweet kisses down his torso. Since mat is only wearing shorts, you easily pull them down. You make sure to leave his underwear on so you can tease him. You slowly lick along his happy trail, pausing to look up at him in between each lick. Mat’s breath is starting to become labored and he’s getting antsy, just wanting to feel the warmth of your mouth. You lower the band of his underwear down just a little bit and leave kisses along his hips. After each kiss you lower his underwear just a little bit more. Once they’re completely gone, you kiss down his shaft until you get to the head, and you lightly suck on his angry, red tip. This has mat’s head flying back, curses and loud groans spilling out of his mouth. When you start to tease the vein on the underside of his cock, mat’s hand goes straight to your hair, pulling hard but not hard enough to hurt.
“Does that feel good, maty?” You question sensually.
“Fuck. So good, baby,” he pants.
“I want you to cum in my mouth,” you tell him and before he can answer, you get back to work on taking him as deep as you can in your mouth.
You hum against him, sending vibrations through every single part of mat’s body. You’re sucking on his member as if it’s your lifeline. You don’t care if your eyes are tearing up, or if spit is on your chin. You only care that mat cums. You let your hands jerk him off when you go back to sucking on his tip, taking turns flicking your tongue against the vein underneath.
Mat is a goner once you start massaging his balls, you look up to see the muscles in his stomach tensing. His adams apple bobs up and down. His moans are delicious.
Mat quickly pulls you away from him and picks you up so that he can set you down on the kitchen island.
No words exchanged because his lips are quickly placed on yours. He didn’t care if you just had his cum in your mouth, he just wanted to kiss you. Your tongues danced together and you nipped at his bottom lips a couple times, loving the fact that mat couldn’t keep his lips of yours.
When you pull away, you see mat with his red, puffy lips and the flush of red that takes place on the skin from his chest up. You scoot yourself so that you’re seated almost in the middle of the island. Your legs bend so that when you spread them, mat gets the perfect view of your panty covered pussy.
“Fuck,” he groans out, making you giggle bashfully.
Mat rubs the palms of his hands along the smooth skin of your thighs. He wastes no time removing your panties and spreading your legs wider. When he starts kissing his way up your legs, you lay yourself down, flinching at the cold marble. Once mat is done teasing, he pulls you closer to him by your ankles, making you shriek in surprise. His fingers are the first thing you feel on you. He uses them to open your lips, exploring this untouched territory. He kisses softly on your clit, and it’s enough to have you slightly arching your back and letting out soft sighs. You feel his fingers spread your wetness around your small hole, he was getting you ready.
“You okay?” He asks and you nod your head, not having the capability to speak at the moment.
When his finger enters your pussy, you’re letting out small moans. He’s slow with his movements, you know he was teasing you back.
“More, maty,” you moan out.
“Let me know if it’s too much,” he says before letting another finger join in. He’s making a come here motion with his two fingers and it allows him to search for your g-spot. The moment he finds it, your hips are shooting up in the air, your hands are searching for anything to hold on to. He repeatedly hits your sweet spot. Your juices are running down his hand, but it’s so sexy to him.
He stops for a quick second and it has you protesting, but soon he’s putting your legs on his shoulder, ready to consume you. He spends a minute letting his tongue wander around, trying to commit your sounds and reactions to memory. He finds out that you enjoy long flicks against your clit. He finds out that you love when he tongue fucks you, and he finds out that you really enjoy having him suck on your clit. He spends a couple minutes sucking on your bundle of nerves, and you’re seeing stars. There’s a white hot feeling flowing through your veins. You’re on the verge of an epic orgasm. That tight knot in your belly snaps when his fingers find your sweet spots while his mouth is on your clit. Your legs are trying to close around mat’s head, your fingers have an intense grip on the edges of the island. Your mouth is open, with no sounds coming out. Your back is arching so much you’re surprised your back isn’t hurting, or maybe it is and you can’t even feel it.
“I got you,” mat brings you down from your high, he’s kissing his way up from your lower abdomen. He doesn’t get to take his time because you’re pulling his head up so you can kiss him. You’re not fully content until he’s on top of you.
Yes. While you’re still on the island.
Your arms and legs are wrapped around his body and you’re kissing the life out of him. One of his hands has a firm hold on your jaw, turning you on even more, and his other hand is toying with your hair. Your hands are placed on his back, loving the feel of his muscles stretching against his skin. Your nails are scratching lightly, but you’re also restraining yourself from digging your nails into his back.
Mat’s tongue sneaks into your mouth and you suck on it. You didn’t think it’d turn you on even more, but you could still taste a little bit of your juices on his tongue and it drove you wild. You break the kiss to let out a string of whiny moans.
Mat rests his forehead on yours, breathing in deep breaths.
“Woah,” mat sort of gasps. You can tell that you sucking on his tongue made him hard. For one, you can feel the thickness of his cock on your thigh, and his cheeks are tinted red, but the way his eyes are glazed over says it all.
You lean up to suck a small hickey onto his left peck and he returns the favor to your sweet spot located on your neck, close to your ear. Both of your moans get mixed together.
“You’re perfect,” he whispers in your ear. You respond with a kiss, hot and bruising.
“Do you have a condom?”
“Yeah. In my restroom drawer.”
Mat rushes off to get the condom, you’re still doused in bliss, not a single thought clouding your mind until mat is back on top of you. You take the condom out of his hand and roll it on for him.
He makes sure you’re ready and teases your entrance. He lets his tip nudge against your opening; it has you biting your lip in anticipation. In a swift motion, he slides into you. Your moans fill his ears. He slides in and out slowly at first then he speeds up his pace when he notices your moans getting lower.
Mat is so consuming. He looks absolutely heavenly with a sheen of sweat covering his skin, and his red lips open in concentration. His moans are almost as sweet as yours.
You’re moving your hips so that they’re in sync with his thrusts. Your fingers have a tight grip on his hair; your legs are wrapped tightly around his hips, pushing him deeper into you. After a few thrusts, mat lifts himself just a bit so he could see your face. You move your hands from his hair down to his chest. You move them so you could enjoy the feeling of his lovely muscles. He thrusts a bit too hard and it has you scratching down his chest which makes mat hiss out. You both hold eye contact, silently expressing every emotion that was being felt.
Love, undying sexual desire, and the impending orgasm about to take over.
Mat moves his hands to grip your hips, but leans down to take one of your nipples into his mouth. You whimper at the feeling of his mouth sucking on your boob and his tongue lapping at your hard nipple. He leaves little bites on your skin and starts to rub small circles on your clit, making the knot in your stomach even tighter than what it was.
“Cum for me,” you speak out, ending the silence that wasn’t really silence because your whines and mat’s groans took over. He’s fastening his pace, and making his thrusts more purposeful as he tries to hit your sweet spot.
Your orgasm takes over the second mat’s tip hits your g-spot and his finger rubs your bundle of nerves at the same time. Your back arches off the marble surface, hands reaching up to pull mat’s body down onto yours.
“Fuck, baby, I can feel you squeezing me. You’re so tight,” he pants out.
Your whimper is so high pitched it’s almost a scream.
“Maty, uhhh fuck. I-“ your words are all mumbled and incoherent, but mat understands you too well.
“I know, baby. I got you,” he whispers into your ear and gives you small pecks all over your face. He gets off you and the island, smirking when you whine at the lack of skin to skin contact and warmth. Your whines don’t last long because now mat has you in his arms, carrying you to your room. He lays you down on your bed, escaping to the restroom to get a towel to clean you up. Once you’re both cleaned up, you call him to join you in bed, desperately needing cuddles. He’s quick to join, never wanting to deny you of anything.
You love the feel of the cool bedsheets on your warm skin. You love the feeling of mat’s arms wrapped around your naked body even more- especially when he rests his head on your chest and massages one of your boobs with his big hand.
“Babe?” You hear him break the silence.
“Yes?” You hum out, too blissed out to even think about what he could possibly say.
“I love you. I’m in love with you, and I know it’s kinda fast, but when you know, you know and I’ve known for a while,” he says, so sure with his own feelings and so confident that you feel the same, and you do.
“I love you more than you know,” you respond, one hand placed on his cheek, stroking his bottom lip. He pulls you closer to him, putting his face in your neck so he can kiss your favorite spot whenever he pleases.
You’re both blissed out, bathed in the afterglow, lust is still lingering but you have all day to explore each others bodies. Right now you just want to enjoy some cuddles with the man you love, relishing in the fact that he loves you just as much if not more.
a/n: This takes place about 4 months into their relationship!! AND the secret is finally out!!! Enjoy!

I feel like I want to contain my Absolute Power feelings separately at the second as I'm reading the tie-ins in bursts, particularly the ones that aren't on my usual reading schedule, so here's what I want to say since my last update on them, after the first month of the event (I've only talked about the lead ins so far):
Absolute Power #1: The Wall turns off everyone's powers, which is bad, and manufactures a bunch of deepfake footage of various heroes doing killing, leading to riots that attack heroes in the streets. Clark gets shot. This leads to everyone going undercover or getting kidnapped and imprisoned by Amazo robots.
Lois being extremely mad that the Daily Planet got hijacked to also stream and publish this 'heroes are terrible' content is my highlight of the issue.
Ollie makes the world's most unconvincing play that he's a double agent who has betrayed the heroes and is now on Waller's side because she's 'on the right side of history' about the dangers of superheroes (he's not even trying to sound like this heel face turn is related to his values in the speech).
Absolute Power: Origins #1: people have had more coherent thoughts on this than me (Ink. Androxys,), but in terms of pivoting Amanda's story from the 1987 version of these events to what Waller's been doing for the last 20 years or so? This is handled with as much tact as possible in the reframe, while unfortunately heavily seeding the road to hell with major manipulations rather than good intentions. It's a necessary change, but I still don't think it's providing enough depth and justification for the in-your-face comically evil figure they're using Waller as right now.
Green Lantern #13: what this title should obviously be: Hal getting mad that Ollie switched sides on them. What this title is: Hal getting punched by Shark a lot while Waller questions him. There's some sort of Green Lantern resistance running here based presumably on the current arc in the title but I honestly haven't been reading Green Lantern and I can't work out how all this ties in. Kyle IS glowing like a rainbow though while looking messed up, which is very pretty. The JSA also get their asses kicked pretty hard and half of them get captured and the other half run off into hiding.
Superman #16: Clark is in surgery with Mr Terrific and Dr Midnight as you do if you need healthcare in the hero community. There's a resistance base running out of the Fortress of Solitude which has largely what looks like most of the Titans and the current Birds of Prey present, plus a few extras.
Wonder Woman #11: Justice League Dark gets hauled out of retirement as a concept for this book. Their magic gets disrupted, which various characters react to in different ways, when an Amazo turns up. Tom King's handle on half these characters seems tenuous to me; Nimue in particular seems a cypher. Bobo loses the power of speech.
Absolute Power: Task Force VII #1: so these titles are genuinely fun as they've been spread between writers and are checking in with various sections of the universe over how characters are reacting. This one is largely Shazam based: Billy, Mary and Black Adam get captured when the Amazos try to invade the Rock of Eternity, disrupting Mister Dinosaur's filing! Tonally, it's pretty on point for the characters, which I enjoyed. Steve Trevor finds out that he's supposed to be reporting to Sarge Steel, something that could never ever go wrong, given how much those two despise each other.
Absolute Power: Task Force VII #2: Doom Patrol and Aquaman team up! This was fun. What a shame neither of them have titles at present. Waller hilariously thinks the Amazo she sent to Atlantis made a treaty, rather than just beat people up. (He beat them up. It's Atlantis. What did you think was going to happen?). Basically everyone here got away and headed for the Fortress. Sarge Steel tries to frame Steve Trevor as a mole, in the most obvious move of all time (especially given Steve was obviously going to be acting like a mole).
Absolute Power: Task Force VII #3: The JSA issue! An Amazo gets infected with free will because something something absorbing Alan Scott's powers something something Starheart. Alan convinces the Amazo to let the rest of the JSA go free by going along with it to discuss what free will involves. The Oblivion Bar appears for like two pages. Also in the Steve Trevor plot, he escapes and starts sneaking around Waller's base undercover as you do to work out what's going on.
More generally; I have to say the event is doing pretty well at dipping into different parts of DC and checking in with the wider cast. That's actually something that DC's been decent about for recent events to my eye; fewer 'just a speck in a crowd' moments and more 'people without current titles actually get some focus' time. It's making the various teams of DC seem more extensive than the published titles they're appearing in right now.

Thank you all for participating in the wonderful first two weeks of my silly lil poll

(The fact that this is the chart is a separate problem that won't be addressed here)
But after voting, the ratio looks like this:
Tumblr media
Which means, from an overall standpoint, women and nonbinary wrestlers are more beloved than men
Voting trends
As the tournament got more popular, more votes started coming in, which is how some winners got so few votes. Over the last two weeks, the vote counts look like:

Hey guess which anon is back with more angst for you. This one is semi short and not very sweet. Parts of this might be out of character, but I'm not quite sure if there is a villian who would fit this role better.
Black Adam smiles as his plan comes to fruition. He stands over the unconscious body of the tiny Billy Batson, empty syring dropping from his hand as he starts to laugh. A simple sleeping drug he got from Dr Silvanas, injected when Billy was already asleep. It will keep him unconscious for 12 hours. 12 hours Black Adam has complete and total freedom to do whatever he wishes.
Black Adam very much wants to kill Billy but where would the fun be in that? Besides, keeping him alive does have many benefits. For now though? It's time for Black Adam is take over the world. Once he locks Billy away somewhere that is. He scruffs Billy by the shirt and when something buzzing falls out of his pocket, without a care Black Adam steps on the Leauge Communicator, destroying it.
Once Black Adam has hidden away the mortal form of the champion of magic he goes out and starts trying to take over the world. Obviously the other heroes start trying to stop him but no one really has a power set that can match Black Adam but Billy. His magic tosses Superman around like a rag doll and his physical strength can shatter through any barrier the magic users put up. At one point during the fight, Black Adam looks up at the sun and says, "oh my, that time already? I'll be back to finish you all off in just a bit. After all it would be a really shame-" He pills a needle out if no where with an evil smile, "if that baffon were to wake up. To bad I can't kill him it would make this so much easier. But, I can't take over the world if the balance gets disrupted that badly~" and he simply leaves the fight. What he said about Balance being thrown out of wack if Billy dies is absolutely untrue. However he does get great joy from watching these silly little mortals who are trying to fight him panic.
After they process Adam's words everyone is thrown into a panic. He has Captain Marvel hostage and neutralized. That's why he isn't answering his communicator.
In their frenzy of trying to come up with a plan with the loose knowledge they have while trying to patch up their wounds, they make their way back to base at the Watchtower.
It's safe to say that Marvel has broken a few communicators in his day, a few may be too generous. So instead of waiting each time for Marvel to fess up that he broke it, Batman modified them to give off a signal beacon to the watchtower once broken. He really wanted to put a tracker on it to find out more about Marvel but he knew that would be a bad idea.
After getting to the location of the broken device they investigate the area for clues. Maybe where Adam took him or how he had done it. Nothing. No clues could be found, there were obvious signs of struggle by what looked to be a small figure but that couldn't be related to this, they were both walls of muscle adding a small child into this didn't make sense.
Regardless the struggle of the child was something to look into as it is their job. It seems that at one point the body fell slack like they passed out. Maybe from exhaustion or injury, though there are no signs of blood so not the latter. There was also the possibility of a drug in the mix. It would make sense why Adam had a needle but why would he use it on a child?
Even if none of the facts lined up, these things happening here didn't feel like a coincidence to anyone.
-----
They were finally here, they finally tracked down Adam and where he's holding Billy and now they have to face the truth. The truth that Captain Marvel is a small child who can barely defend himself against the greater forces of evil. They figured it out on the way here and while tracking him down but nobody had really processed it. The proof was right in front of them, there was no room to deny it further.
The scene they investigated was no coincidence. The struggling child who was drugged was Captain Marvel.
-----
I woke up to check my phone and you greet me anon, absolutely love it. Kinda got lost in my mind there with the writing. Anon your brain is so big for this, imagine all the raw emotion put into the angst to make the reader cry when the end comfort comes, or not, make them cry because of character death instead. Whichever floats your boat.
I wanted to write more about Adam holding Billy hostage and more about them searching for clues but I didn't really know how I wanted to put it. Man this idea has so much opportunity. Maybe I should start writing instead of jotting this down in a Tumblr post.

Finally we've arrived at 52, the series that turned me from a casual reader of a few comics into a full-on DC fan and Question enthusiast. This is the reason I set out on this project in the first place. I love it so much.
#1
This is my fifth time reading this in full, I think, and I still get hyped at this opening issue. Look at my guys.
It's a miracle this came together as well as it did. The omnibus is great for giving some insight into that construction process.
#2
There's just so much in 52 and I can't believe they pulled it off. Part of that is that it's thematically coherent, despite how different the plots are. Grief, reinvention, self-destruction as a means to cope with loss... it all feeds into itself.
In a slightly different timeline I came out of 52 fixated on Booster Gold and stumbled back into the Question later through Blue Beetle, instead of the other way around.
It took 416 issues but they're interacting! They're together! It's paying off!
Renee's heartbreaking spiral into self-destruction is interrupted by this massive dork. I love them.
#3
I really need to read Steel. Captivated by these two.
Skeets nudging the gyro cart owner out of the way is a very good panel. Catlike behavior.
#4
Booster and Bea's conversation is so. Hhh.
In the omnibus, Mark Waid calls Vic and Renee's scene "one of the high points of the entire series", and I'm with him.
#5
Renee and Maggie...
The metahuman hospital's a really cool piece of worldbuilding.
The only plotline I don't care much about is the spaceguys. I still like them, but the bar's really high here and I want to see other characters more.
Wish this was less creepy about Starfire.
#6
Kind of obsessed with Bob the theatre teacher and villain-for-hire, conceptually.
It takes a while for the Black Adam plot to pick up steam so this part isn't quite hitting yet.
Booster having a normal one.
#7
Renee hasn't talked to her mom in three years by this point. Oof.
The exes of all time!
Booster... Ralph blaming him for Ted's death is brutal.
#8
Oh cmon girl you're smarter than this. It's Lex Luthor, when has he ever had anyone's best interests at heart.
At least Ollie's still doing his thing.
Clark hating Booster is so good.
#9
"Smart-ass." "Consistency is everything." He is so annoying!
The John and Natasha fight is great.
#10
Clark taking a page from Lois' book is so good. Ridiculous.
I like Will and Professor Morrow a lot, nice that they're back in focus.
Supernova time :)
#11
His anti-smoking rant...
"I don't owe you anything." Oof ouch my soul.
Big talk here from a guy who spent a decade hung up on Myra.
The one superheroine ass shot I respect is in the "that's a Batwoman" panel because Renee deserves to appreciate Kate's ass.
#12
Besties moment.
Black Adam's plotline is gaining speed.
Oh Ralph.
#13
Oh NO, Ralph.
#14
They both look so good here. Love his stubble.
Desperately want to hear Tot's side of their conversation, and also their previous phone calls, because I'm sure he'd have Opinions about Vic deciding to become a mentor.
Shaking him. You are so annoying!
"There's no such thing as crazy, just behaviour that society has deemed unacceptable." SO true bestie.
#15
BOOSTER...
#16
Oh god, Renee.
Billy officiating Black Adam's wedding is very sweet.
#17
Luthor's superteam is one of the series highlights.
Still very funny that there's just a guy named Hannibal on it. Zero subtlety here.
Oh Lobo. I do not care about you.
#18
Tumblr media
He's so silly.
Renee is having truly awful time falling back into old coping measures and he's out here getting scooped and being made fun of for cockblocking.
Booster's shitty funeral still fucks me up. Choosing to believe Skeets intentionally didn't invite people for evil reasons because the idea nobody showed up is too much.
Once again, oh no Ralph.
#18/2
A backup with Vic's origins. It's about right, though I prefer him starting as the Question before moving back to Hub City.
It lists his "essential storylines" as Mysterious Suspense, The Question 1987, and Cry for Blood, which I mostly agree with. Mysterious Suspense is less important but reading a pre-DC story is useful background for the 87 run and it's his only solo option.

Rules: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then tag as many people as you have WIPS.

A Review of “Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)”
Tumblr media
In a current era where the DC cinematic universe is such a mess with no idea what direction it is going; it is hard to care about Shazam Fury of the Gods. Is it even part of the new DCU? It didn't help that there was a severe lack of marketing for this film and all the Black Adam controversy. However, I enjoyed the first Shazam and was willing to look past the fact that most likely nothing in this movie is going to lead to anything. So is this a strong sequel or another stinker from DC?
Tumblr media
For the most part, I think the actors do a great job in their roles. Zachary Levi is still charming and charismatic as Shazam. One issue in the first film is that adult Billy (Zachary Levi) and young Billy (Asher Angel) didn't feel like the same person as their performance felt inconsistent. Asher, despite having a smaller role this time, does a better job of feeling like the same character by performing closer to Zachary's performance. Helen Mirren plays one of the villains Hespera. I love her serious, no-nonsense and menacing performance which contrasts Shazam. Djimon Hounsou returns as the wizard and he is great as well. I also think the kid actors who returned are still fine as their characters as well. The design of the monsters and the dragon were good and the special effects of them were not terrible which is a plus in a world where bad CG is so common.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, that is all the praise I can give this movie as apart from that, this movie is an absolute letdown. The story lacks any of the heart and emotion from the first film. Instead, we just get a generic story with bland villains who wants to do evil things because they are evil. The villains are meant to be gods but they are underwhelming in everything including powers which are vague and not impressive. They don't feel much of a threat and the evil plan, in the end, doesn't even feel that consequential. It doesn't help that the movie seems to constantly try and make jokes every minute. I thought I was watching a generic Marvel movie. There is also a boring and half-baked romance story with Freddy, Billy's foster brother, that is the main focus of this film. Freddy is somehow more annoying than ever in this film, not the actor's fault, and his romance with Rachel Zegler's character Anne is not believable.
Tumblr media
On that note, Billy Batson who is meant to be the main character is not a major focus in this film. I was worried after the first movie where they had the whole family receive the Shazam powers. I believe it would make Billy less interesting and less special which is sadly the case. It doesn't help that everyone else with the power is made to seem more competent than Billy with the characters constantly mocking Billy as an idiot. It further doesn't help that they write Billy as a complete idiot which isn't fitting of his character. I also hate the stupid trope where a person wants to be normal and not be a superhero. The second act in this film is incredibly boring with its constant back and forth between the heroes and villains. It doesn't help that there is a lack of action scenes and when there are, they ain't that great. The ending is probably the most insulting part of the film. They pull off the biggest and most random deus ex machina ever.
Tumblr media
Overall, what a disappointing sequel. The first movie had a post-credit that could've led to something interesting. Instead, we get random, generic villains with a generic plot and generic characters. We are already in a market oversaturated by superhero movies and another generic movie is not what we need. It also astounds me that we have a Black Adam movie and a Shazam movie within a year that has no connection whatsoever. This film was a creation from the old DC studios and it is further proof that the DC studios need to change. Technically, Shazam can still be brought into the new DCU but I wouldn't be angry if completely rebooted the character as well. Hopefully, the direction that James Gunn takes the DCU is better than whatever this was.

My VN Ladies and their favorite Horror Movie/Slasher:
Tumblr media
Ruez: Character: Billy Lenz, Movie: Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Surprisingly she's not affected by on screen violence (mostly since she knows it's all fake) and she really likes the concept of TCM. Even though she didn't like Black Christmas that much she did think Billy was funny.
Gege: Character: Freddy Krueger, Movie: IT
Gege just loves when the villain is always out to kill children or teens. She just thinks it's hilarious. As for Freddy she just thinks he's funny looking. She mostly liked IT for Beverly as well. Not really for Pennywise sadly.
Rasp: Character: Yautja, Movie: The Predator
Of course she likes aliens. She's an alien! No but seriously she thinks the movie is pretty neat. Also she may or may not have a crush on the whole species...funky man.
Envy: Character: Bo Sinclair, Movie: Friday the 13th
Envy just loves arrogant men. Especially if they're southern. She also loves the story line of Friday the 13th.
Chris: Character: Carrie, Movie: The Fisherman (short film)
What's to say more than Chris just likes Carrie and the struggles she endures. She relates a lot as well seeing as to how she has religious trauma. As for her fav movie it's more of a short horror film, also a fav of mine.
Harlona: Character: Herbert West, Movie: The Fly
A mad scientist stays a mad scientist. Harlona is very much into horror and loves scientific and gory related horrors. She thinks they're funny.
Junie: Character: Angela Baker, Movie: Hannibal (NBC)
Junie even despite her hate for blood, likes the special affects in psychological horror and such. She also likes Angela because of her backstory and how similar they are (both being transwomen)
Mora: Character: Jennifer Check, Movie: A Siberian Film
Yeah Mora is a little special. She just likes Jennifer for her energy as for the movie she's just a horror movie maniac.
Kora: Character: Wendall, Movie: Coraline
Despite not really being horror movies, Kora likes the child themed movies with a creepy sense to them. She has a low tolerance to blood so those help her. She like Wendall because of how realistic she is. Wendall being a rude and angry at the world preteen reminds her of how her and her sister were as preteens as well.
Tara: Movie: The Hatchet, Character: Victor Crowley
Yeah Tara cried when they showed Victor's backstory. She's very much obsessed with the "character is pushed over the edge and turns evil" trope. She has a Hatchet poster on her wall as well
Lava: Movie: Candyman, Character: Pamela Vorhees
Lava has what we call mommy issues so whenever she sees a mildy motherly character or a caring mother in a movie she folds. She also likes Luda Mae but Pamela is her favorite. As for he movie she just loves the idea of ghosts getting their lick back
Raz: Movie: Jigsaw, Character: Rusty Nail
Raz has a thing for truck drivers and big guys. She definitely would let herself get abducted by Rusty just to fuck. As for Jigsaw she hated Amanda but she loves the traps they put up
Kiki: Movie: Repo: The Genetic Opera, Character: Adam Carr
Kiki is a lover at heart. She likes Adam because of his struggle with his looks and identity. As for the movie she just loves the European aesthetic. She also likes Luigi...a lot.

I guess I'm doing this--
"LIVE" REACTION TO "ONCE AND ALWAYS"
Why is Billy fighting with Robot Rita on a mountainside in New Zealand? Why is Rita even fighting? She always sends minions.
What is the plan here exactly? Why is Rita a robot? This is probably--hopefully--gonna get answered in this special.
Rita has a spell that can kill courtesy of her new robot body… And then she leaves?
Also: Really, my dudes? You take off your helmets before Rita even leaves?
Wait… Is this place Boomrock in Wellington?
Zordon is back?
Why are we going soap opera immediately?
Is this an alternate universe?
ONE YEAR LATER? You have got to be kidding me. We don't even see the fallout of that really clunky reveal? We don't even know who Trini's daughter is.
Oh we're really just not getting any background info at all.
Finally! Minions!
Okay, the puns are good nostalgic fun.
The way they're writing out the non-participants is good. Set-up could be better though.
You can't drive the car while morphed?
Also: running away from the villains is smart--but this doesn't feel like the right move. Considering how the opening exposition said that there's been more Rangers since the original team.
I get the anger, Minh. I am very angry right now too.
The command center's upgrade does look cool.
Okay: so the Z-Wave happened… so what happened to Rita?
Oh. Alpha 8 became Robot Rita? This was a really bad plan, Billy. And writers. Like, if we wanted a Robo Rita… It could've been handled way better than this. (And it's not hard to make Billy still feel guilty about it.)
This is very broad emotions… I feel bad for Minh's actress. It's like she's being told to just be angry.
We're really just leaving a morpher easily accessible to angry kids?
Why give us a scene of Alpha calling for all manners of Ranger Teams--and we're only getting the OGs? We can't even get snippets of other teams fighting Putties? Heck, even just the current team would suffice if getting the costumes ready is a problem.
They didn't get a different stunt person for Kat's Pink Ranger it seems like.
I am still waiting for the reason why Billy left Aquitar.
Walter Jones is still in great shape. Good fighting.
So the command center is now Cranston Tech. How?!
Telling Minh the truth shouldn't have resulted in her being this angry at Zach. I get why she's angry at Billy… but this is why the one year later earlier is such a bad move. We didn't get to know Minh before she became this character.
"It's a selfless path." Y'all were randomly selected by Alpha's beam. The lesson was that anyone could be Ranger, that it's up to the person to be a good person. That's why Tommy became a Ranger even with Rita's evil intentions. Although, granted, she also supposedly corrupted that power coin. But the being worthy thing was something from the 2017 movie--not the original series.
Okay, so the Putties are homophobic.
What in the name of all that's good and evil was that scene?
The callbacks would've been nicer if they didn't feel so perfunctory.
Really? REALLY?! I get that Minh needed to prove she's a hero--but this does not feel earned. Or right.
The light-heartedness of the fight puns is not matching the overall seriousness of the special's storyline.
Cool! They remastered the Dino Zord footage.
Oh, they might've created new footage completely.
The CGI might have been better than the first movie, but… What is going on with these proportions? Did Hasbro cutting ties with TOEI mean they couldn't get tips from TOEI's visual effects team?
Of course Robot Rita's not dead. Billy should have really known better. She's a robot. She doesn't have a heart.
This is so unsatisfying.
That Zach-Adam handshake is great though. It's the first time the two Black Rangers got to interact on screen.
So there's no story between Billy and Aquitar. But why would he want to bring Zordon back? After twenty-six years?
"You're family." This could've been earned had we not jumped that one year.
The In Memoriam is great.
Overall, I feel like this would have worked better had Billy not done the "looking for Zordon" plotline. Him becoming the new Zordon is a story they could've done instead. With Robot Rita becoming a side effect of whatever process Billy has to go through to become the new mentor. And then, because of Billy's guilt, this becomes his one last adventure as a Power Ranger before he truly ascends.
I still don't like the fact that they killed Trini by a corrupted Alpha 8. Minh is a character they could keep angry--but Trini could've died from natural causes. Billy could've gone back to Earth because he had Aquitarian technology he thought could help with her illness. Trini opted not to take the cure, and Minh could still be angry with Billy not knowing the truth.
Zach could've adopted Minh and Trini from the get go. The single mother backstory shouldn't have been a throwaway line. It could explain why Minh is such an angry teenager if they made it really integral to her relationship with Zach.
I have so many thoughts. The special isn't bad-bad. There are sparks of good in there. But I don't think it does justice to the franchise. To the love people had for the show.
Could I do better? Probably not. Having worked in the industry--albeit the Philippines one--has taught me that writers do not have the power. Unless you're a writer in Korea. And even then, there are many hurdles and challenges that will make telling a story you really believe in very difficult. Not impossible, no. But extremely hard. Especially with a brand like Power Rangers.
You're never gonna please everyone.
I'm glad they tried though.

Yeah, I've got more.
What if black Adam was a gamer too?
He too got to pick his patrons, and he's just way over levelled after everything he did as champion. But. What if, during his betrayal after his family's death, his champion title got revoked... And he lost the save reset feature. Banging his head on a brick wall resetting again and again trying to save his family, only to snap out of frustration and anger and take it out on the guardians of magic, only to find the only fail state of the Game: to stop being integral to the magic and fate. He no longer had the magics to shape reality to his whim because he destroyed it. And so he suddenly lost the chance to ever save his family, his title and with it his position as a player in the game of fate.
Because gamer aus are fantastic, but they do breed a certain careless apathy that is so opposite of Billy, so opposite of a hero, the hero and champion magic needs. If Billy ever turns against the rock, or just turns evil, he loses the game. He keeps all his powers, but he no longer has the game to guide and help him. For Billy, as it was for Adam, that is a very scary premise.
On a lighter note, I petition that the skill tree looks like a branching lightning bolt because that'd be neat.
Also, maybe the Shazamily would be like, online only guest accounts? They can only play when Billy is hosting! Maybe once the connection is established (password Shazam, of course) their only access to the game is minor stuff like acknowledgment pings and user detected nearby: syncing proximity chat sorta stuff. Unless they're in marvel mode, but it's still the demo version to Billy's full version +dlc.
And as always I wonder if there are cosmetic world optional content? Does Billy have to deal with censorship cuz he's technically underage (and there's no getting around THIS censor!).
Jl: *see a pair of aliens doing something weird*
GA: wonder what they're doing? Never seen that before.
Cap: they're having sex.
Jl:????????
Cap: yeah, I can't *waves hand in front of face* it's all blurry over there, so... Definitely something explicit.
Flash: what????? You can't see?!
Cap: very specifically not them, yeah.
Ww:..... In public?!
Cap: either that or a truly staggering amount of gore.
Billy - The Gamer
I don't think I've seen one of these yes, but I really love this trope
Billy wakes one day, finding his HP and MP restored to 50% for sleeping in a nest of cardboard boxes.
His minor scratches are gone along with his twisted ankle though he's still suffering from hunger and malnutrition
His usual quests are things he does anyway, though gamified I.e. picking up the trash he sees becomes a cleaning mini game in the park, he has a quota of newspapers to sell as a newsboy but if he sells over quota, he gets a bonus amount from the Game.
Getting his powers from the Wizard is part of a Mainline Quest
To access it, though, he had to be in the right place and time to help with an optional side quest of helping Tawny, either helping him escape from the zoo in his animal form or in his human form from being menaced by thugs
Billy can and has died, but idk whether to make it thar he wakes up from his last bed in the same timeline or if he reverts to last save, thus going back in time a bit
Becoming the Champion unlocks new magic side quests and more of the Main Storyline as well as a new map to the magical areas around the world, especially around Fawcett that he hadn't been able to access before
There are various skill trees that Billy works on and unlocks
Maybe Freddy helps him work out what kind of Builds he should go for and what Perks to unlock because he can be more than one as the Game affects him as both Billy and Cap
Maybe a secret third identity where he keeps going out with identity obscuring items and becomes known as a hard to find but always accurate appraiser (Because of the skill 'Observe') and a seller of rare and incredible goods like healing items or MP potions that have no side effects.
(Will probably write a part 2 some other time bc this is getting long but do u see my vision??)
