There are those who love the purity and innocence and will not accept change, and those who think the old ways are outdated and foolish. It's just too bad there aren't more middle of the road fans. At least enough to prove to DC that it would be worth trying something different.
How about making them more like a real family?
Billy as Capt. marvel should remain pure, noble, and virtuous. Junior wants to do right, but feels he can never live up to Marvel's expectations, so he becomes a rowdier, more rebellious teenager. And Mary, having been left behind, becomes the black sheep of the family. The good one who fell in with drugs, so to speak, and needs an intervention. After all, comics have proven in the past that the family dynamic can work out well, as with the Fantastic Four. Why it couldn't work out well for the Marvels is beyond me.

: right. Evil Mary is the right direction.
: Black Adam anti-hero hell yeah! This is the
: right formula to bring Shazam into the
