She then saves her brother and Freddy by herself. When the boys are prevented from saying the magic word, Mary inadvertently says Shazam! and is transformed into a superhero, which would later be called Mary Marvel. When he reveals this to Mary she wonders if as his twin, she could also access the power of Shazam, though the boys believe the wizard wouldn’t give his power to a girl. Billy and his friend Freddy Freeman trail Mary in their superhero identities and are required to act to save Mary from kidnappers.īilly discovers that Mary does indeed wear the other half of his locket and that she is his sister. He then recalled seeing a girl as a contestant at a quiz bowl named Mary Bromfield who wears half a locket. When Billy is a teenager, a dying Sarah Primm tells him the truth about his sister and gives him half a locket and tells him his sister wears the other half. As a result, her twin brother Billy is sent to an orphanage while Mary is raised as Mary Bromfield by her unknowingly adopted family. Her nurse, a woman named Sarah Primm arranges for Mary to take the place of a child who died in her care. She was born Mary Batson, but her parents were killed in a car accident. In the original storyline introduced by Fawcett Comics, she is a teenage girl named Mary Bromfield who discovers she is the adopted sister of Billy Batson, the alter ego of superhero Captain Marvel. Like her brother, when she says the name of the wizard Shazam she is transformed into a superhero named Mary Marvel. She was one of the first female superhero spin-offs. In the original storyline, she is the sister of Billy Batson, who was the alter ego of Captain Marvel. The character of teenage superhero Mary Marvel was first introduced in Captain Marvel Adventures #18 in 1942. Kotobukiya has introduced Mary Marvel from the Shazam! family adapted in the Bishoujo style! Overall, it's highly forgettable, but kids will enjoy it, assuming they won't be affected by the CG monsters.CHECK PRICE AT EBAY About the Mary (Shazam! Family) Bishoujo Statue Billy has probably less than 10 minutes shown interacting with the fosters that him eventually accepting them as family is a giant, unsatisfying leap. And except for Freddy, everyone is entirely one-dimensional and stereotypical: overly enthusiastic foster parents, the tech-wizard gamer Asian, the sweet 16-type daughter going off to college, bullies, etc. I'd be pretty stoked too if I suddenly gained superpowers, but neither character is a natural extension. That's pretty much the bar of humor throughout, besides the numerous 'Look what I can do!' moments of discovery for the powers.) There's a large disconnect between the ever-brooding Billy and the upbeat Shazam, almost like a reverse Jekyll/Hyde.

Later on he uses his adult form to buy beer and visit a strip club like every teenage boy's wishes. The comparisons to a kid-friendly Deadpool are apt, but without the wackiness that 'seals the deal' as most of the jokes are simple/cheesy/cheap (At the very beginning, Billy steals a cop's lunch bag while he pleads against it.

If the trailers didn't exactly make you LOL, then you'd probably won't within the full movie. Sure I had a few smirks and chuckles now and then, but there wasn't anything roaringly hilarious. Maybe I'm just cynical, but I didn't find it very funny. I didn't mind the villain being one-note, but I wish they did something better than the old '7 deadly sins,' or at the very least been more creative with the designs (which look like clay concept models of generic gargoyles and you couldn't even tell which sin was which). The special FX are good, but there aren't any mindblowing scenes (no real fighting or magic other than smoke and lightning). The little drama with Billy searching for his long-lost mom, while being unable to accept companionship from others, is alright. Story-wise, it does its job without much surprise or imagination. I can honestly say it was a fun movie, but I just don't see where the glowing praise is coming from. I'm not familiar with the comics so I had no special expectations. Technically a 6.5, but definitely not anything to be thrilled about, as there isn't much novelty. Shazam: But you're welcome for not getting robbed! We still don't know if the suit is bulletproof, or if you are. Go to town.įreddy Freeman: Wait, wait, wait. You have bullet immunity!įreddy Freeman: Today is December 8th, and this video proof of authenticity. Shazam: Gentlemen, why use guns when we can handle this like real men?įreddy Freeman: Bullet immunity.
