Now that the flash is over can u pls make how fast are the speedsters or how fast the speedforce is pls
I assume because the actress is already an adult and they were like what’s the point in getting an older version if she’s already a grown woman and they wanted to save money
I'd say it's the ladder
no they changed the actress
Agreed
@@pingpongsammy252 the actress for superhero Marry was changed so now regular marry is also playing her hero counterpart
I think they wanted to use a diffrerent actor for each character when they tranfrom to look like they've grown up, but the girl is already look grown up even before tranform, they could use her to play her own shazam form as well but that would be weird, like why others character change but this one didn't so they have to find another actress look similar to do the job
I guessing that the Shazam power always reverts you to your prime. Because she reaching her prime age her Shazam form makes since to look more and more like her. So, you got it right.
Like black Adam
It is strange. Going by Shazam! Rules that would sort of imply that she is, or at least her appearance is, at her very best.
Or at least views herself as the best version of herself
That is how I remember it as a kid. She was her best self now.
Wait, so can shazam take off his suit in shazam form???
@@Mapspalo yes
@@GodShadowdeath How?? Does he have a zipper or buttons or what???
You forgot to mention one example as well...
John Constantine has taken up the Mantle and when he became Shazam he didn't look different at all, instead he looks like he's just changed his Clothing.
Grace is absolutely beautiful. The more time she is on screen the better
If this happens, then she will lose a chance for a secret identity because she will look the same in her Mary Marvel form
She would probably wear glasses 👓 in her civilian form to hide her identity.
@Mehmet Jinadu shazam got that power in a comic like 20 years back so maybe they cam adapt that 20 year old comic?
The director said her mortal/civilian form and superpowered form will follow the same logic as Wonder Woman when she isn't fighting crime and working as a civilian. Changes to makeup and hair etc
@@baidikbhowmick5165 tbh there’s ways around that
Styling can have a huge impact on how you look and that can definitely help hide her identity (it was brought up in a Superman video he did)
@Mehmet Jinadu The director said it will work for them too- Diana does it as well and it works.
So Billy's ideal image of a superhero is his dad's? And some people think this cinnamon roll going evil ala Injustice somehow makes sense
Billy still wasn't even evil in Injustice. He just... didn't really stop Superman. He said he was however going to try and keep him in check
@@thenoirknight5729 In my book accompanying him as he massacres his way out of half of the DC Universe without saying a word is being evil. Idk if the comics say something more about his motivations, but those aren't even canon so, yeah.
@@nicovelardita8619 maybe if Batman didn’t flip his shit when he killed joker...
@@creed8712 to be fair almost every hero in Injustice is more or less out of character
Billy wasn't evil in Injustice, jist painfully naive.
All the conversations he had with Harley make this rather obvious.
He just couldn't accept or see just how far Superman has fallen. And when he eventually does he gets murdered for it.
"Hey Mary, you kinda look like Mary Marvel...and your name is Mary...wait a minute!"
I think it makes sense. She's already approaching her "prime" in terms of age. She just doesn't have the musculature. So maybe when she's in the suit she'll be the same face, height, etc, but different weight/bulk. Going into super mode does not make you OLDER, it makes you PRIME. In 50 years when Billy Batson is 65 years old, he won't *shazam* into an 80 year old. He'll morph into a 25 year old and still look like a buff Zach Levi.
This is it. Their transformed selves are supposed to be their apex selves. That's why in Kingdom Come, adult Billy Batson and Captain Marvel look exactly the same.
I just f**king love how Comics says stuff in sponsorships
In the first movie, Mary was already the oldest foster sibling so it makes sense that her superhero form would look more like her normal form when she fully reaches adulthood.
Her self-esteem improved and the idealised version leveled up, it's the best and most favourable interpretation
In the comics, Billy's Shazam's form has a striking resemblance to his father. It is insinuated that their adult forms are strongly influenced by their sense of an ideal self. What they perceived to be their peak form. So I can use some lore gymnastics to make the casting make sense. As Mary encroaches on adulthood, she may have developed the confidence and self-assurance of an adult. Therefore, her Shazam form isn't any different from her civilian form.
Mary is technically an adult, and therefore shouldn’t have changed form when becoming her superhero counterpart. Fans were vocal enough about it, and surely world got to Sandberg and his team prompting him to make the change. That’s really it, I’m sure
Can't wait for this movie , i Hope that cavil's Superman or Black Adam will appear at least for a cameo
Fingers crossed on Black Adam
Lmao on the superman, but hopeful for the black Adam.
The title of movie “Fury of gods” gives it away, meaning Shazam vs Black Adam. Since both gods and rivals
@@kryp3096 this isnt a shazam vs black adam movie.
@@RA-tp4pr if you say so
Maybe it's because she wasn't confident in herself when she was preparing to go to college. Most teenagers aren't. But with time, she started to see herself as a hero
Dude, I feel awful! I thought Mary and her transformation was all played by Grace Fulton this whole time lol Watching it in theaters, me and my friend even found it amusing that it seemed she was the only one that didn't change out of all of them and we figured cause she was already an adult heading to college. So while sad to drop actor Michelle Borth, it makes sense since Grace already has an appearance of an adult.
mister america is haunting...just...just pure nightmare fuel...i like that.🤣😅
My favorite part of this video was the paid advertisement. America.. HELL YEAH
Realistically it was most likely a decision on the part of Warner Bros, but for an in continuity explanation, it’s actually very simple. As you said, the powers of Shazam do not turn you into the best version of yourself. They turn you into what you imagine to be the ideal version of a hero, meaning that hero may be yourself. It’s very complicated, but this would basically mean Mary has decided her current form is “hero worthy” and already the best version of herself.
Love your videos man keep posting a lot more context its all pretty cool it gets me thru my day
It wont make you old it makes you the best version of yourself
In the older comics, Mary normally wouldn't change
Great video! I'm honestly hoping it's more in line with the Power of Shazam run because "idealized" form seems like the best for storytelling and could be interesting if each kids' form is maybe how they picture their parents if they were with them instead of the Vasquez's. Or something else. What I'm really hopeful for is DC to give their superhero forms official names!
1:57 idk about the newer stuff but originally Mary Marvel & Cpt Marvel Jr mostly just got power-ups with no aging since the were getting a bit of Cpt Marvel's power, not the full juicing from Shazam.
The fact that even while movies aren't coming out and you've still still stayed relevant and make good content is awesome dude. You deserve 1 million. Keep up the good work and you'll probably get there!
Oooohhh, so *that's* where April Daniels got that "idealized form" thing for the Dreadnought books! Neat!
More likely because this actress gained popularity between the Shazam's from that movie Fall so they wanted to feature her more.
Can't it be both? Physical peak is the combination of how they would proceive themselves as superheroes mixed with how they want others to proceive them and how people actually proceive them.
Captain Marvel is said to be an adult version of Billy, so it makes sense that when Billy reaches a certain age, he too would take over the role from Zachary Levi, although I doubt that happens.
Yeah even tho that makes sense there’s no way they are getting rid of Zachary
And the reason that the wizard is old is because he has been in his Shazam-form for so long that the started aging again after he turned into Shazam I guess...
Confusion
Uhh i don’t think so
@@millasboo Well what's your theory? Your film theory? (Sorry)
Good theory , my theory is that when you reach adulthood your transformation becomes you’re adult form but since you’re already an adult it becomes your present self.
@@Jeroenassen69 there is not theory he is just a wizard who carries the Shazam powers and is old
I always thought the Shazam-ified versions of people is how they see themselves as adults amongst other things. For kids and teenagers this would lead to a change in appearance while people who have already become adults wouldn't change. At some point Mary probably just started viewing herself as an adult which affected how she looks when she's Mary Marvel.
Psycho Dad (Cameo)
6:44 - 6:46
The answer is she cannot get more perfect.
In shazam the film, he said not word by word but it unlocks your potential in an adult form, considering there will probably be a time jump her age is just right so she just gets her powers
The age theory makes sense as well as the mentality theory.
Also the actress is divinely beautiful
Great video also you should cover Diggle in some recent episodes on the arrow verse flash, Superman and Lois and batwoman David Ramsey also played a character in DC legends of tomorrow
Would be funny if Asher Angel boots out Zachary Levi when he looks the part
great video!
I’m hoping they actually let Billy and the other kids age... in the comics Billy is kinda a permanent kid. If they ever get the point where kid actors actually age outta being kids, it’d be interesting to see the characters age too. Cause we never see mainstream versions of adult Shazam.
It doesn't make them older, it makes them the prime version of themselves
Now the question. Can she change clothes and just keep her powers all the time?
It is also subjective to the person at the moment what they think is perfect. A kid who loves Superman, ends up in a knockoff Superman costume. It would also work when the person becomes older, like over 40, the transformation would send them back to about 25 to 30 years old in a physical peak condition.
It's trippy. All the adult actress (es) are in their 40 and so that three me. But there is a reason the actress wasn't returning, and it was proposed to be due to some questionable social media posts from what I read.
She’s 18 now so that’s why she looks how she does that’s just what I Think
Is no one gonna mention about Michelle Borth's shenanigans on Twitter being the reason she's not in the sequel. lmao
Can you please do a video on why did Ralph’s powers dampen or do something because remember he used to not be able to feel pain
Great video
Shazam should feel like a cross of superman and the chronicles of Narnia.
When the characters become their Shazam forms, they turn into their best forms. Maybe Mary has matured enough so that her best form isn't the actress from the first movie but herself because that's how she herself now? I mean, it's out there, but so are comics.
I think it's the prime years like 20 through 35
Every time I watch the movie I swear Mary is played by the same actress in or out of the suit but I found out that she was played by two people so know that the actress that was playing young Mary in Shazam is not only doing that but playing Super Mary or Shazam Mary or whatever she calls her herself I’m not worried one bit besides Mary is the best movie sister ever
I actually thought that Grace should've played her Mary Marvel incarnation in the first movie anyway, so this makes perfect sense to me.
Same
@@murtiigulgen NO
When I first saw the movie I instantly had a crush on the Mary, teen actress
She's wayyyy prettier then the older one that's for sure
I know this isn’t related to Shazam but in the latest episode in the flash how fast was Barry going when thawne game back to help and turned after defeating Godspeed because when thawne was about to punch Barry thawn looked so slow
the only reason i could think of is that either because barry got a buff from the speedforce so he is now way faster orthat thawne's negative speedforce wasnt feeding on speedforce while thawne wasnt around so he became much slower
Hey when are you gonna do an update video on the flash fastest speeds
It's not strange at all. (Their Adult Forms) is simply what they'll look like when their old. Since she's already an adult there is no appearance alteration.
Omg the cat interjection lol
My guess is this what they look like when there older and now Marry is at her prime age I guess
It’s simple it’s because this movie is probably a couple months to a year later making Mary mostly a adult so she wouldn’t change she would just get the powers because she is already a adult the kids change because they are kids while Mary is a adult
yo comix can you make a video on how fast godspeed is in the flash season 7 finale
Once an adult, I'd just stay in my special form round the clock. Aside from the suit and all, that would make life a lot easier.
I haven’t watched the full video yet so you could’ve said it but Black Adam is a very good example when it comes to transforming to and back from his “prime”. You still age while you are in your super form and so when he transformed back, he would start to age at a very accelerated rate and then die all in the span of seconds. So it’d make sense that she looks the same especially if she is already an adult now and her prime might simply be in her more younger adult years.🤷🏻♂️ but that begs the question about her significant difference from the first movie unless it’s essentially going to be retconned as if that’s how she looked in the first film. But the suits definitely look cool though.
Yo, you should do a "what is the top speed of red rush from invencible"
You forgot something Zeuz could change his form at will. I always thought that they could call on the lesser powers of God's but also on the heros as well.
"There is a metaphor in there, i just know it!"
-English Teachers for no reason
Are you gonna cover the loki season finale ?
By all means
That’s pretty much my thought on the subject
Waiting for the inebetable vid of how fast barry is in the finale of season 8
Your ment to turn into your prime when you go shazam so maybe that how she looks in her prime.
Lol if she while in her Shazam form looks like her normal self that would mean she is at her prime...
I think she's the same because the power transforms you into your full potential but as an adult because the power is too much for the kids to handle and when the kids get old enough they just transform into their full potential but their appearance dosent change.This is what I think so I cloud be wrong 🤷♀️
I'll save u all the time. It's cuz the actress is hot.
In the comics, you turn into whatever you want to look like, and wear whatever you want to wear. Billy actually turns into what he remembers his dad to look like.
How does Shazam's abilities work on people who want to change genders? Would there ideal and peak form be when they are fully transitioned? How would it work for people who do transition in the future but dont want to yet? Also what if they are in hero form and they think about transitioning, does there hero form just instantly change into a women mid fight? Just a couple random thoughts
I just thought it's because she is already an adult now. she was say 18 in the first. a couple years later and yeah she's an adult
The former adult actor for Mary was supposedly let go for poltically unpopular tweets on social media. Because the younger actresswas now an adult and could work longer hours. It was an economical situation where the studio had to quickly fill the adult role.
Bruhhh ,idc she loooks goegeouusss😍😍😍 best looking live action super hero by far.
There’s a good amount of explanations possible, but I’m willing to bet they just don’t mention it at all
Can u do more flash vids
But as I understand it they don't transform into an older sled but into the ideal healthy slef, and She's already at that age or closed se, so not need for much change.
I hope she teams up with Diana Prince in Wonder Woman 3
Mr America sounds a lot like the guy who runs the channel, just sayin'.
Because she looks hotter that the last actor 😂
How fast is Sandy Cheeks out of Spongebob?
Ive got a question about the flash: i was rewatching season 1 and the episode with that villain who could drain electricity when he was questioning Harrison Wells who he hurt in the particle excelorator Harrison named Ralph Dibney but Ralph didnt get his powers until season 4 so why would he say that name plus when Barry was there wouldn’t he be questioning Wells later about Ralph
He from the future
Flashpoint
In the first flashpoint timeline (made when Barry’s mom died) Ralph died then when Barry changed the past he survived
He lying
How fast is CW flash season 7 edition, can happen?
I assumed they just turned into adults but now Mary is an adult in the second film so her appearance no longer changes
I'm pretty sure the powers of SHAZAM does not necessitate growing "older". If that were the case, the powers would kill Black Adam, not keep him alive.
She should have looked the same in Shazam, she was already an adult.
I think it’s cuz Grace Fulton is already hot
Boom, no theory necessary 😂
Great video
So does that mean people may recognize Mary
Holy crap... Maybe my attention to details suck, but I thought the same girl played both young Mary and Mary Marvel. They seemed to be around the same age. LOL
Can you do how fast the speedsters are in the flash
6:44 guess it answers my question
So Shazam billy just looks like his father?
I wonder if the actress (MICHELLE BORTH) who played the previous looked form of (Super Mary) might get picked to play a different character role in the (SHAZAM 2: FURY OF THE GODS) movie?
Wasnt there a comic where an actual aged up billy looks like shazam. So its not far fetched for her to not need a change at all.
Epic
Believe it or not but Grace Caroline Currey is one inch taller Michelle Borth. It made no sense in Michelle Borth playing Mary Bromfield's superhero counterpart as she smaller and middle aged. The shazam transformation is meant to make someone look more powerful not weaker. I thought it looked weird in the first film.
