Huh, can't say I'm too excited for that, I like him a lot more in straight comical, deliberately over the top roles, but whatever.

Him as actual Shazam, being the big muscly grinning doofus is a much better idea. Guess Billy has to be a white kid.

No, you see Shazam is the little boy that turns into a big dude that can fly after he says Shazam, which he can do because of magic he got from the wizard Shazam, invoking the power of gods whose names form the acronym SHAZAM.

I wish Aaron would decide what the rules are for Thor, though. Sometimes it seems like Jane's a passenger and the hammer is doing most of the work, to the point where she's surprised at what Thor is saying, and sometimes it's like that page where she's in control and the Thor powers/form just translate her words into Ye Olde Codde Englishe.

And why was John Cena a charming, funny addition to that film?

Because WWE had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Cena does great work when he gets out from under the McMahon corporate thumb. It's too bad they don't let him do that more often.

Seems kind of like a six of one/half dozen of the other situation. Personally, I think it's best left vague and undefined.

Could be sometimes she's running the show, and what she says just gets run through the Asgard filter. Other times the mantle takes over and she's riding backseat.

If there absolutely have to be more wrestlemen in Shazam it should not be John Cena as Captain Marvel but the New Day as Tawky Tawny.

I never get the BSS wrestling references, but then again we have our own vaudeville and pantomimes over here. Presented without context, Inhumans #13





I've really been enjoying the Inhumans series. It was derailed a little bit by AXIS, but it's taken the other events in their stride (mostly because they have Inhuman elements to them). It's just so fairly upbeat (for a comic about 'others' and alienation). It's an X-men without the holier-than-thou/cult mentality. Like the Snake woman is fairly upbeat about being a snake woman.

His Inhuman/Nuhuman name is Inferno, so he's had fire powers since undergoing terrigenesis. He has trouble controlling his powers, and in one case he actually refused to flame on since he didn't know if his body could take it so soon after a large flame out. Which was a nice subversion of the typical trope. He's losing control here, but it's mostly OK in the end, and no one loses an arm or ends up eating alley cats so it's just the right amount of drama.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
Clearly a Spinal Tap reference as well.
