I liked the first Shazam. It had so much heart and it was a nice story about finding your family. For a DC film it was one of the best ones imo.

The previews for this one don’t look great 😭I want good things for Lucy Liu!! Please be better than it looks lol

Both her and John Cho deserved way better careers. They were the first Asian-Americans I remember seeing in movies 🥺

John Cho's episode of Charmed always makes me sad we never got him in a proper romcom. He and Holly were so cute (even tho he was a ghost)

oblig justice 4 selfie comment 😭

Came in here to say he was so hot and charming in Selfie, I wish that show just had a different name it might have survived :(

i feel like lucy liu never really got the respect she deserved as a trailblazer for asians in hollywood. some ppl on twitter were laughing about the very idea of her being named alongside beyonce in an outkast song and i was like, excuse me?? you will put some RESPECT on lucy liu's name, tyvm!!

i was so happy when michelle yeoh gave her a shoutout in one of the actor roundtables this season.

[imnotasquirrel]

haha tbf they sounded very young (and i don't want to make it sound like i saw a bunch of fans clowning on her, just a handful of tweets i found when i was looking up the song lyrics randomly lol)

[bttrsondaughter]

what @ ppl laughing at her inclusion in Hey Ya! what do they think about the name drop in Independent Women, that it shouldn’t count bc it’s for a soundtrack?

[tonicol]

Um, I'm going to wait for the Youtube supercut of her scenes 😬

[doriiansz]

I remember first seeing her in Ally McBeal and she immediately became the highlight of the show for me. I've been a fan ever since and I too wish she had a bigger career, because she's one of those people who when you see them on screen, red carpets and in interviews has that superstar quality to them. I adore her and hopefully there's some great stuff still waiting for her 🤞

i would love to see her in show like "yellowjackets"

[lone_concertina]

Oh fuck yes. She does sinister and mysterious so well (she was the best part of Why Women Kill!)

[tucker]

Loved her walking into scenes with the wicked witch music playing lol
