Fury of the Gods has changed things up a little, but the last few bonus features were always pretty much guaranteed.

One thing which was highly irritating and over the top is the overall acting by Zachary Levi. Him as Shazam is portraying a 17 year old (they mention he's turning 18 in some months) yet he's acting like a 10 year old child. Why exactly were the portrayals by the child Shazam (Billy) and adult Shazam different? The other adult superheroes were portraying their characters accurately.
