Me: You're a wizard, Billy. Billy: But I'm not English.

Wizard: "lay your hands on my staff" Billy: "gross" LMAO

"Lay your hands on my staff and say my name, so that my powers may flow through you." "I need an adult." "You are an adult!"

"Good pure people? I'm not one of them. I don't know if anyone is really." His humility makes him even more pure.

“pure of heart”, uses his powers to drink beer and steal money

This movie is literally every kid’s dream.

I love how the Wizard delivered his words. He wasn't demanding, he was pleading Billy to save the world.

“We chose The Rock to defend The Rock”

Not enough people talking about the reference to Black Adam in this scene

An old man claiming to be a "wizard" tells a kid to lay hands on his staff and orders him to say his name And no one had a problem with this😂

-What's your name? -Shazam. -Are you for real? -Wait! There's another name you may know me by... Captain Marvel.

I love how the villain as a kid is so desperate for power that he is willing to believe anything he likes without question. And Billy just thinks the guy is nuts and is “that guy” who’s setting a trap for him to steal his money 😂

“My brother I applaud your choices today. Gold shoes, gold bracelets, gold belt, white cape? It shouldn’t work but it DOES” That’s got to be by far my favorite moment from this clip

3:43. I just love it how when Billy first transforms to Shazam he grabs the Staff willingly but then when the old wizard bite the dust he just threw it on the ground and ran away screaming !!!!😂 Shows he really is a kid.

Solomon,s Wisdom Hercules Strength Atlases Stamina Zeus,s Power Achilles Courage Mercury's Speed SHAZAM

1:40 The Wizard: ...Until I found a truly good person. Strong in spirit, true in heart... I selected Mr. Rogers but he convinced me he could do more good with his television series.

That wizard was kind of desperate looking for someone to grasp his staff

This movie was really good.

Bruh the funniest part is that Billy laughed at Shazam's name XD

I love how this backstory still connects to Black Adam. The Wizard said they chose "wrecklessly" because they didn't guide their champion enough and they never thought Teth Adam's son would give his power to him. And maybe the Council chose Teth-Adam's Son because they want to retrieve the 7 deadly sins that King Ahk-Ton is keeping to his palace. Instead, when the Palace is destroyed. The 7 deadly sins are freed.

"Lay your hand on my staff" FBI OPEN UP!!

The idea that he can admit that no one person truly is honest, is the most honest thing he could say.

(0:56) The wizard explains Black Adam

Billy admitted he isn't all good and pure and he has his doubts others are too. That is what makes him worthy: he admitted it outright that he isn't perfect. He didn't hide it or sugarcoat it. He straight out honestly said it. That is something Dr. Sivana, not even Black Adam, could never do: admit fault within himself. So yeah, he goes off has fun with his new powers, but in the end, takes responsibility he was given. You can't improve others without first improve yourself, and the best first step is admitting it.

I love that the vague figure of Black Adam literally is the Rock and no one guessed it would be the Rock to play him

Damn, Djimon Hounsou can never not kill every role he plays.

“...grab my staff and say my name...”...”Umm daddy!?!”

The Wisdom of Solomon The Strength of Hercules The Stamina of Atlas The Power of Zeus The Courage of Achilles The Speed of Mercury The Powers of SHAZAM!

I love how people talk about how Billy isn't pure of heart, but you gotta realize that he's out of time and the sins were released, so he has no choice. Plus, Billy is the next best choice

Fun fact : Djimon honsou was cast in 2 captain marvel movies.

The added humor in this scene is incredible. It feels very natural. Billy is being a kid and the wizard does not break character and doesnt hesitate. I love Marvel movies, but their jokes feel in movies got a little too forced in the end. This comedy feels real.

Lmao didn’t realize the wizard was the voice of the villain in How To Train Your Dragon 2 - and he was in Guardians of The Galaxy.. damn

“It shouldn’t work but hot damn it does!” is exactly how I feel about his design lmao

A powerful wizard, waiting for the right person to whom his powers could be passed on. But has no presence of mind.... "Hold this , and say my name.." "I don't know your name, we have just met".

3:16 He almost forgot his line xD

I LOVE that the first thing that happens to Billy when he gets up as Shazam is him hitting his head on a door!!!! Finally,dome filmmakers who KNOW how the world works

And with my name you carry all my powers the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Athene's, the speed of Mercury.

This movie made me feel like a kid again

*1:05** I COME FROM THE FUTURE,THAT SCENE WAS MENTIONED ON BLACK ADAM*

“Do not patronise me, boy!!” He just came here, and has no idea where he is, chill.

That was a pretty subtle and sneaky way of showing Black Adam without actually showing Black Adam.

I didn't recall the Seven Deadly Sin mentioned in Black Adam aside from the revenge part.

"You are all the world has left" With how disappointing Justice League was yes.

0:56 Black Adam Movie: Hold my 🍺.

I LOVE the way they made this scene so true too the original comic book and cartoon.

You know, I didn’t notice this on my first viewing, but I liked that this movie didn’t fully confirm Billy was pure of heart. Shazam didn’t have the Eye to test him like he did Sivana. For a kid’s fantasy superhero, that was a surprisingly grounded character trait. This is also part of why I’d really like to see Shazam crossover and interact with Wonder Woman in the DCEU. Diana’s arc in her first movie was realizing every person has a dark side, and that you should fight for values rather than figures. I really see some story potential between them: Billy could struggle with maintaining his heroism, and come to doubt himself by not being pure of heart. Then Diana could impart some mentor-ly, even matronly wisdom. Seeing a one superhero teach another who wasn’t a sidekick or a potential usurper would be a nice change of pace I think as well. I doubt it will ever happen, but I like the thought of it all the same.

0:54 is our boi talking about black adam?

If the Rock of Eternity is the source of all magic, does that include Doctor Fate, Zatanna, John Constantine and Raven’s magic???🤔

The back story is actually pretty actually accurate to what happened in Black Adam, a few details are off the vengeance part is accurate

I genuinely consider this movie one of the biggest achievements in cinematic history.

0:56 Dwayne The Rock Johnson, if you smeeeeeellllllll what ADAM is COOKING

2:44 had me dead💀

When he yelled “SAY IT” I lost it 😂

I think in the comics it’s a bit clearer that he chose billy because he saw that he had potential to be truly good, accepting that he was flawed but could be better with his gift. Or something like that

0:59 Is that Black Adam?

3:05 I envy anyone who can remember all of this. I am trying to remember it by hard. S = Wisdom of Solomon H = Strength of Hercules A = Stamina of Atlas Z = Power of Zeus A = Courage of Achilles M = Speed of Mercury

Every little detail in this scene the smoke coming off the staff The backround of the story The light in the middle The attention of detail is amazing

Casting was perfection

"Their thrones lie empty!" Yeah. I was wondering why you had a bunch of empty chairs around you.

“Well you need dragons to conquer other dragons” -Drago

I laughed so hard when he bonks his head exiting the tube.

I love that last part with the dude praising his outfit.

Even the wizard knew what really happened and chose not spoil Black Adam. Be like the wizard!

People say that Billy Batson the kid doesn't reflect his attitude when he's Shazam the adult. This scene seems pretty consistent with their attitude

He should have tried to transform by saying "Spiderman!" together with the "famous spiderman-wrist-movement". Would have been a nice callback to Toby Maguire's "Shazam!"-Scene 🤣🤣

Shazam will always be the real captain marvel

3:50 Thanos' Snap affect in DCEU.

Who else comes back here after seeing Black Adam?

So the Black Adam movie just ignores this scene now?

Would've been cool if we at least got a reference to the seven deadly sins in Black Adam.

2:45 after watching Black Adam, I'm willing to believe that the other wizards that were killed were the same as Billy's foster family. Shazam shared his powers with them. As opposed to all of them coming together naturally.

4:17 ... the courage of Achilles, the speed of Mercury and the height of a Stormtrooper!

After watching Black Adam I really think that there is consistency. SPOILERS Teth-Adam, after his son is murdered, is seeking for revenge and kills king right after he touched the crown. Maybe seven deadly sins are connected with demons and after Adam’s fury they were unleashed. Thats my theory.

Asher Angel was a perfect Billy Batson.

0:56 Spoilers for Black Adam I was surprised that this was retconned in the Black Adam film. In the film, it was revealed that the Wizard chose Hurut (BA’s son) to be his champion. However, Hurut gave his powers to Teth Adam in order to save his life.

I kinda wish they saved the Shazam family for a future film. Making the family come in the first film kinda makes Shazam himself feel less powerful

Lmfao his face when he yells at him for laughing 😂😂

I kept waiting to see the Seven Deadly Sins released in Black Adam ahah

“Listen I don’t have any money” I’m dead 😂

Lay your hands on my staff lol Billy's reaction is priceless

Shazam is the most relatable cool superhero❤

The wisdom of Solimon is a bible reference.

This sequence actually works pretty well after watching Black Adam

I like how he basicaly forced him to become Shazam.

In reality the Wizard just *REALLY* wanted to die

My number one favorite DCEU movie. I really, REALLY wish this generation's DC comic book people can replace the New 52/Rebirth Billy Batson with the original Billy Batson who was indeed pure-hearted, hopeful and possibly becoming experienced at the age of 25, 35 or 81 and still originally OP in his SHAZAM form (before the old Silver Age/Pre-Crisis Superman version) permanently for DC's Prime Earth.

Damn, Jimmy Fallon is quite a good actor.

You do realise that when the wizard was talking about the champion that he chose many years ago and he knew it was a mistake. The wizard was talking about Black Adam. Mind blown 🤯

1:00 this kinda got retconed for Black Adam (Not all of it but most of it)

Was the last champion Dwayne Johnson?

I want to see this kid act when he gets older, has great comedic timing. The best friend does also.

Asher Angel is good actor he did pretty great job play Billy Batson in Shazam DCEU movie 👍👏👏👏🙌💯⚡

after watching black adam i',m like he didn't release anything he was just free from his prison

I never thought shuzam is like a combination of gods

1:02 you can see dwayne johnson’s shape being referenced with black adam 2 years before the movie comes out…details.

0:57 Black Adam(The Rock)

It looks like the Seven Deadly Sins of Man were housed inside the palace in Khandaq. That makes sense considering the king was dabbling in dark magic. Black Adam destroys that Palace while killing the king and releases the Sins unintentionally

I like how Every letters in "Shazam" mean something, like: Solomon-wishdom Hercules-strength Atlas-Stamina Zeus-Power/Magic Achilles-Courage Mercury-Speed

I wonder if this scene is now retconned by Black Adam, or Black Adam simply doesn’t know what damage he did

Did Black Adam release the 7 Deadly Sins?
