And casuals say that Johns doesn't respect continuity and is DC's Bendis.

I know you posted this in jest, but I fully support the idea of Mighty Morphin Shazam Rangers.

It looks fun.

People liked them when they showed up in Flashpoint and Curse of Shazam too. It's only now that people have decided to dramatically hate anything involving minorities that it's an issue for some.

Well, there's already 6 members of his family. Him, his four kids, and his wife. I don't think the wife ever got caught up in any of the evil stuff though.

There was an issue where the Marvel family fights Black Adam and they talk about the power imbalance. Each of them have equal amounts of the wizard's power, and since 3 of them are on the same side, the Marvel family has a power advantage over Adam.

yeah, too bad Adam and Isis arc sucked balls. I genuinely enjoyed the two next Willingham arcs (Ok maybe not the one with the mansion being closed off, just the two after that) more than it.

Or just people who enjoyed decades of the Marvel family as they were and just wanted more of the same, just new stories like we got with Power of Shazam. Jerry Ordway managed to do pretty much exactly that without trying to "fix" Captain Marvel.

and by far his biggest sin, a huge lack of Sivana and Mr Mind. Fuck off.

I don't hate it btw, I just think something better could be done. Ordway's run honestly still felt ashamed of its GA origins and ignored / gritted up most of it

Are these really fundamentally different from how it was in the Fawcett stories?

Come to think of it, why has Steamboat been completely forgotten as a character anyway? We've presumably reached a point where we can depict Black people in comics without making them walking caricatures. Steamboat seems like a pretty cool guy.

It just seems to me like another misguided attempt to make Black Adam Billy's archnemesis. Sivana already has the "evil family" part covered. Unless you just want to even it out and make a Mr. Mind Family and Captain Nazi Family too.

Traditionally only Sivana and two of his kids are evil, his wife and other two kids aren't depicted as evil. Also the Black Marvel family has a completely different dynamic.

Magnificus kinda varies. I think he was eventually Billy's ally in the Golden Age (and by extension the DC Bronze Age stuff). I think he was a vain airhead in 52 and he was an antagonist in Thunderworld though.

Thunderworld is explicitly an AU. Magnificus also retains the vain personality of 52, which was co-written by Morrison.

Even in the 1940s Steamboat was bothering readers enough that a student association wrote to Fawcett about their complaints and they listened. Steamboat is never coming back
