00:00 More kind than Stephen King fans, I'll tell you that much.
00:02 Really?
00:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:08 What did working on the first movie
00:10 and specifically promoting it to getting out into the world
00:13 teach you guys about the Shazam fandom
00:15 and how popular of a character?
00:16 They're dedicated, and they're great.
00:18 And they are very kind.
00:21 More kind than Stephen King fans, I'll tell you that much.
00:24 Really?
00:24 Well, yeah.
00:27 They seem nice, but don't buy it.
00:29 Stephen King fans, they lean a little more
00:31 on the angry side.
00:32 Well, that's not maybe that's--
00:33 I'm just messing around.
00:34 They're also very nice and nerdy, and I love--
00:36 and I gel with most--
00:38 Their passion.
00:38 Every nerd.
00:39 And I love passion.
00:39 Sure.
00:40 Being a nerd myself.
00:41 So I understand that there's a lot of weight.
00:43 Even as a consumer of movies and pop and culture and whatever,
00:48 I do digest things.
00:51 And I try to appreciate every form of storytelling.
00:54 And with Shazam, I felt like it was received really well.
00:59 The first one was.
01:00 And people said that it was a refreshing take
01:02 on the brooding, steeled DC path that we've been on for a while.
01:10 To see a superhero who's actually
01:12 excited about being a superhero rather than begrudgingly
01:15 going out and putting on their cape
01:16 and being like, got to save the world again.
01:17 He's like, he's happy to do it.
01:19 And it's so giddy and bubbly, and it's full of levity,
01:23 and it's great.
01:24 You're almost as cool as Superman, almost.
