I started it...by Mischief Maker 03/29/2022, 10:21am PDT
I've been halfheartedly nibbling around the edges of the DC Murderverse with HBO Max. Suicide Squad 2 was good, but not as good as GotG 2. Joker was great for what it was.
So now I decided to try Shazam, the "light-hearted" and "kid-friendly" DC movie. It starts with a kid watching his abusive father dying in a car crash he caused, then a tiny child is abandoned by his mother in an amusement park in a nightmare-put-to-screen, then a nice psychologist lady who had no idea her boss was a supervillain accidentally dies a slow horrible death rotting from the inside while screaming the whole time. Then I was interrupted by something and didn't feel especially inclined to come back later.
I guess by "light-hearted" this movie is being graded on a curve? How dark do these Superfriends movies get? Like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers dark?
