There is a reason Shazam! Fury of the Gods keeps coming up in conversation. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Shazam! Fury of the Gods from the crowd. Billy Batson and his foster siblings, who transform into superheroes by saying "Shazam!", are forced to get back into action and fight the Daughters of Atlas, who they must stop from using a weapon that could destroy the world. Between them, Zachary Levi and Asher Angel carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It hit screens in 2023. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Shazam! Fury of the Gods respects your intelligence. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Zachary Levi anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
