Trying to figure out what gods/goddesses could’ve made up the previous council of eternity’s acronyms (assuming of course they ALL used the name Shazam) and I’m currently hating it
Tumblr media
The question of where they were from (since there’s literally nothing else about them, including names UGH) the general consensus was Mid Eastern (possibly Sumerian/Mesopotamian), Celtic (based on red-hair and flannel-patterned frock), Japanese, African/Aborhiginee, clearly Egyptian, Chinese, and Meso-American going left to right.
But the main problem in trying to find gods, heroes, or any sort of ancient being that will fit is that unless you look up the name of every one of them you come across you get vague descriptions of what was part of the popular mythologies there, or that they don’t have ANY beings with names that begin with the words in SHAZAM. Then when I do find some half the time it’s the resident demon or evil god of that mythology.
I want to have a basis of useable gods for them for the writing I want to do but this is just making me want to smash my head through my screens scouring every myth website, wiki page, and video I can find for the pantheons in these areas to find useable data
