Superhero fatigue should mean what happens if you do the superhero landing too often.

good one!! bwa ha ha
 
I have absolutely no "superhero fatigue" (which I don't even believe exists anyway), and I liked the first Shazam film and I still hated this one. Ignoring the fact that in between films its come out that Zachary Levi is a fairly detestable person, I just thought that the movie was poorly written, and neither the heroes or villains were particularly compelling.

In contrast I really liked Black Adam. Outside of the teenager (who could have easily been cut) I thought it was a very solid movie, not as good as TSS or WW1 but probably about as good as Aquaman (in different ways though, because they're very different films).

I think that Shazam 2 suffered more from the first movie not exactly setting the movie going audience on fire, and DC movies in particular having developed their particular reputation.

Shazam 2 should have been about Darla powered up, trying to catch Santa on Christmas Eve.

Make a movie for an audience still capable of perceiving wonder.
