What the hell is the dialogue trying to say?

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 31 points 8 months ago

Billy got granted a super-powered female alter ego, while his sister Mary got a male one (you may need to have read/watched Shazam for it to make sense)

I’m only vaguely familiar with Shazam aka Captain Marvel. Essentially, Billy and his foster siblings get powers from a wizard. This wizard gives them powers of these old gods/deities. Conveniently the sex of those deities match the sex of the power bearers. I’m guessing the powers in this comic don’t see sex, so they gave Billy the female deities power and Mary the male deities power. I don’t know what “boy ong” means though

I'm pretty sure it just says 'boy one's, no idea how the e ended up like that.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

it's hand lettered, the artist just put the central crossbar of the E too low

[–] akariii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 months ago

I read it as "one" too

[–] Kolrami@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

In the canon, I think they just end up looking like the grown up version of themselves. My reasons are because in the movie, Mary (the oldest) is played by the same actress when she transforms and in the comics (Kingdom Come, I think) years in the future one of the Justice League members sees a person who he thinks is Captain Marvel, but it's just grown up Billy Batson.

[–] mjsaber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Better yet, Luthor has Batson in his entourage, so everyone thinks Captain Marvel is rolling at his side all the time. Until Batman realizes it's just... Billy Batson.

Unless there's some other meaning for it, ong is some kind of slang, it's short for "on god". I think it's used in places where one might otherwise say "I swear to god" instead. Of course like that other person said it could also be a weird typo, but it seems deliberate to me.

[–] GooseFinger@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Who is Billy? Who is Mary? What is a "boy ong?" Is the man's name Shazam? Why is she surprised/confused?

If the fingers didn't look good, I'd assume this was generated by AI. But nope! I need answers.

[–] alexiascylding@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 8 months ago

its not generated by AI, its drawn by Ian C Samson who is an artist on twitter, hence the ICS in the corner

[–] akariii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 8 months ago

its "the boy one"

Let's talk about your username!

[–] WaylandHater26@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Just a bitter old Nvidia user that can't get wayland to run fine without an annoying amount of graphical issues :-(

[–] clemdemort@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh I feel you X is still better on Nvidia for me too, tbh it sucks because Wayland on AMD is just amazing...

Have a nice day!💜

[–] WaylandHater26@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

One day we can all have fun on Wayland I just hope it comes soon, also have a nice day too! ❤️
