Deadpool 1 & 2, been there, done that.

Why was there a need for Shazam to be filmed? Why was it supposed to be targeted at adults? Deadpool has already filled that niche. Shazam was never going to be successful.

Was it bad? The trailers looked bad.

One of the more bizarre critiques of a film I have ever seen. Shazam has little in common with Deadpool. Its tone is completely different. And, believe it or not, different studios can make movies in the same genre as they are in competition with each other.

For that matter, the same studio can make similar movies at different times. By your logic, only one Western needs to have ever been made; one horror movie; one rom-com and so forth.

The world definitely doesn't need more Batman movies. I spoke too soon, here comes "Joker" and "The Batman." Smh...

Well, since Shazam isn't a Batman movie, you have nothing to worry about.
