    I don't see any similarities between the two other than "is comedic"?

    With its self-aware meta humor the movie [Teen Titans Go! to the Movies] is very much a Deadpool for kids -- with direct nods to Ryan Reynolds' franchise for good measure.

    The Deadpool of DC should be Ambush Bug, but DC refuses to give us the Ambush Bug content we deserve.

    So I have a question

    Why does Japanese media often contain people shouting their attacks in English? I understand that perhaps Japanese may not have a word for "boomerang", but it probably has a word for cutter? And in DBZ, the whole show is in Japanese but they'll shout "Big Bang Attack" or "Final Flash" in English. Is English seen as exotic maybe, the way we might name an attack in Japanese?

    Ok so you know how a lot of people in the USA get Kanji or Chinese characters tattooed on them? Or wear shirts in languages they can't read?

    Its the same thing but its in Japan where English is this weird cool person language

    In personality yes.

    But the "Are you Deadpool" thing is totally a comic nod. I'm sure plenty of people here know this, but in the DC comics Deathstroke (Slade) is named Slade Wilson, whereas Deadpool is Wade Wilson. I think at some point in one of the Marvel/DC crossovers they had a joke about them being alternate reality versions of each other.

    I'm pretty sure Leifield said he based some of the design for Deadpool off of Deathstoke as well. I might be misremembering that though.

    I was trying to guess some of the voices in the trailer. I'm pretty bad at that, I thought Slade sounded a bit like Seth Rogan. Which isn't a plus for me.

    Good news! He's actually played by Will Arnett.

    Bad news, if Arnett is Slade, then who's Batman? Jimmy Kimmel. So that's not great.

    But good news...

    Superman... is Nic Cage.

    The joke was that you did the deathstroke in the deadpool, yeah.

    I dunno, Shazam looks kinda by-the-numbers superhero movie to me. There wasn't anything eye-rollingly bad in that trailer, but nothing new either.

    I'll take "Fun and forgettable" over the dumpster fire that is Snyder's superhero film career.

    Dude had one movie that actually worked in his style (300) and everything else has been downhill.

    I haven't read any Captain Marvel outside of Kingdom Come, so I never imagined it as a Big kind of story. But it makes sense.

    Wow, that was from when regular show was winding down, right

    Seems like a real long time ago

    Marty: The future, it's where you're going?
    Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

    I think the shorts tend to take absolutely forever to turn into shows. I remember the adventure time and steven universe shorts predating the shows by like five years each.

    Adventure Time was like three years between the pilot and the show. I remember it being big among all the animation majors in my classes because it was sort of the first show clearly made by somebody close to our age. The same largely goes for Regular Show. J.G. Quintel's shorts were going around for a while before that became a thing.

    Actually speaking of long animation lead times....

    Adventure Time was originally pitched to Nickelodeon and they passed on it.

    Bravest Warriors was also pitched before Adventure time even became a series.

    What I love about the Shazam trailer is the unintentional (seeming) comedy of the Hollywood Blockbuster Movie Trailer Music dubbed over... "orphan kid has understandable trouble fitting into new foster family".

    My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.

    Yes but the real question is: How does it look compared to the Justice League Box Office?

    My first thought when I saw the Shazam! trailer was that it looked like a Fallon skit.

    I am sad that Jim Cummings won't be reprising his performance as Don Karnage.

    But I've yet to be disappointed by this show, so I'm still pretty excited about this.
    I'm thinking that they are Dread Pirate Robertsing Karnage. In the past when Disney has tried to unify the Disney Afternoon properties into a shared universe, TaleSpin has always been depicted as taking place in the series equivalent of the 20s-30s, with the other series being in the "modern day". Furthermore, the design of NuKarnage doesn't resemble the original - but, it does resemble one of his subordinates.

    Also, here's an animation of a call by LBJ to Bill Haggar of the Haggar Company, ordering some pants:

    I don’t think that is the worst thing (with the exception of people not liking fallon).

    DC movies need to learn how to have fun again and if they need to really lean into it, that is fine with me.
