Moving Shazam to debatable. Four Color Media Monitor indicated it still had some woke elements, which are a bit of a downgrade.

|Based on the true story of Stephen Glass (Hayden Christensen), a reporter in the late 1990s for the liberal magazine ''The New Republic'', lies and distorts news stories to make them entertaining. He begins by submitting an article about the Conservative Political Action Conference, in which he fabricated stories of drinking and sexual mischief. Then, after he writes a colorful but suspicious story on a superstar web hacker, a group from a small online news site begin to question his journalistic integrity.

|This old-school stylized superhero film may not only be one of DC's best but it is very conservative. The movie is quite-pro family with the main character; Billy Batson, realizing end that family is what matters most, and even claims “If a superhero can’t save his family, then he’s not much of a superhero.” Also, it is pro-Christianity, with the family saying Grace and thanking and showing gratitude towards the lord for their meal (which is very rare for a superhero movie). As well the villain being [[Nihilist|nihilistic]] and leading the demons of the seven deadly sins. In addition, the hero is played by actor Zachary Levi who is a Christian, and his faith may have cost him some roles earlier (most likely because of [[Hollywood Values]]).<ref>https://godtv.com/6-hollywood-entertainers-didnt-know-were-christians/</ref> The film also in way condemns the pro-choice agenda as well as [[feminism]], as the main character's mother abandons him on purpose and just leaves him to survive on his own Finally, there is a small anti-alcoholism message with the characters taking a sip of alcohol for the first time, and then spitting it out, only to return the rest of it, and buy candy and soda instead.

|Animated Disney adaptation of the iconic story, depicting all of the characters as anthropomorphic animals. Although the story itself was based on [[Joseph Ritson]]'s revised version of the character that was in support of the Jacobin cause and thus was a liberal icon (steals from the rich, gives to the poor), the villain is Prince John who makes his money from taxes, suggesting Robin Hood is only giving money the government demanded back to people who actually worked for it, and thus was implicitly closer in themes to the original, pre-Ritson revision version of the character. It also features a condemnation of government encroachment of the church, as a pivotal scene featured the Sheriff of Nottingham explicitly stealing a coin from the poor box and his later arresting Friar Tuck for trying to stop him, and the Sheriff's actions were clearly being framed in a horrible light.

That all being said, there were hints at SJW elements in the film, albeit very minor, such as a woman referring to Shazam's attempt at rescuing her as "toxic masculinity."<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/04/05/shazam-review-not-another-origin-story/</ref>
