I guess the actor of Shazam beeing an alt-right MAGA dickhead hasn’t helped the situation.

Oh yeah I don’t trust the guy at all.

I just also 100% believe when someone says the rocks ego got in the way of making a good movie given… Every movie the rock has been in for about 10 years now

Yeah I wasn’t even going to touch on that. AFAIK he was just a “regular dude” when this film came out. But chances are he was just hiding it. If the DCEU didn’t die I suspect the future of these films and the lead actor would be a huge problem.
