I think the official in-universe reason is that the Word must be spoken with a specific intent in mind, a heroic intent. Introducing yourself with the Word, even if doing so to introduce yourself _as a hero,_ is not saying the word with explicitly heroic intent.

I still do [blank] because I'm old. I relate so much to this.
This is one of the most susinct explanations of Captain Marvel's history I've ever seen, and I am impressed
It never made sense to call him Shazam to me because whenever he says his name he turns back to Billy and exposes his identity
"because I am old" that's a mood
Good review!
I am not old and I definitely agree! He always was and always will be Captain Marvel to me! Besides if he said his hero name was "Shazam" he would turn back to Billy which could be an issue....
I grew up on JSA comics, Billy will ALWAYS be MY Captain Marvel
I call him Captain Marvel because that's what he was called in the Young Justice cartoon
More super hero history shorts pls. I'd kill for a Wonder Woman one!
He will always be my Captain marvel. I grew up with him being called that
Seeing this of my favourite superhero character in your channel is AWESOME for me ⚡💛 it help a lot to people who doesn't know THANK YOU 💛⚡
"because I am old" Yeah man, same
U go king! That’s the og Captain Marvel!
I call Billy-Captain Marvel bc that's who he was for most of life especially on my Mortal Kombat vs DC game🥰
I've never heard anyone call him Shazam, just Captain Marvel. They call him Captain Marvel in Young Justice, a currently ongoing series and one I've mostly enjoyed.
I am not old but I like reading books about comics history so this is Captain Marvel, the Atom is a 4.5ft tall boxer, and the angel is a guy who jumps good.
I call him Captain Marvel because that's what he was introduced to me as
Da king is back baby he neva miss
You know your popular when Elvis Presley was a huge fan of your comic character and dressed after you
I also call him Captain Marvel, not because I’m old, but because it is a much better and more evocative name for one of my favorite comic book characgers
I remember that confused me for years because I had a coloring book as a child that introduced me to him as Captain Marvel
Little known fact: He was meant to be Captain Thunder originally, but they had to change it to Captain Marvel because there was already a Captain Thunder back then.
Finally thank u my freind aurgured me about this
Every time he introduces himself as Shazam he should revert to the kid identity. It's like discussing an Alexa in front of an Alexa. That could prove awkward if he's flying over lava but that's the logical result of the name change.
@ultralm7250

They changed is so he can say it whenever he wants, he only reverts back when he wishes to
So... Captain Marvel was selling better than Superman, DC got bitter and sued, and later scooped up the character for themselves... What the actual hell.
I wrote some Shazam fan fic and I just said he calls himself that bc he can't say Shazam without transforming
I freaking love Captain Marvel
If someone asks he's name he can't say it if he's Shazam that's why I like to call him captain marvel because I just makes sense in cannon
IN THIS HOUSE WE CALL HIM CAPTAIN MARVEL!
I know him as Captain Marvel because that was his name in Batman: Brave and the Bold! Which is what I grew up on. Now I feel super young. LOL
Oh. They didn't know that? SHAZAM was the original Captain Marvel y'all
CAPTAIN MARVEL FOREVER! What, is he gonna keep turning back into Billy anytime he says his name?
I always thought Billy referred to himself as Captain Marvel so he doesn’t accidentally revert back. Superman: Hello, I’m Superman. What’s your name? Captain Marvel: Sh-
I grew up knowing him as Captain marvel. I've seen him called that in shows like JLU, batman the brave and the bold, and a movie like Superman/Shazam vs Black Adam.
It wasn't long, but it was in-depth already!

He is also often called captain Marvel or Billy in justice league animated
I like Shazam. Because he has the, Wisdom of Solomon. Strength of Hercules. Stamina of Atlas. Power of Zeus. Courage of Achilles. Seed of Mercury. Each of their names first word makes the SHAZAM!
I’m 20 but I still call him captain marvel because of the justice league cartoon from the early 2000s
Talking about captain marvel Miss Marvel form the comic is kinda cute I loved when she was introduced in Glenpool
I'm not even old and I still call him that. The first time I ever saw him was in Mortal Kombat 8 which I believe was like a year or two before his comic reboot so that name kinda just stuck with me
I’m pretty young but he has always been my captain marvel.
I call him Captain Marvel cause he's the best character under that name.
I always called him Captain Marvel because the first time I saw him was in that horrendous Mortal Kombat vs DC game XD
TBH, Shazam is such a household name by now but the OGs and old guns will always know him as Captain Marvel. :D
That last panel from Kingdom Come is one of my favourite Captain Marvel moments, even if it is a More Good thing happening in the story.
Funny enough, in the MK vs DC videogame, that came out I believe around 2008 - 2009, he introduced himself as Captain Marvel. But in Injustice, series technically made by the same company, he's refered to as Shazam going forward.

I call Shazam Captain Marvel because he's the real legitimate Captain Marvel. 🦸🏼♂️
Thanks for clearing that up, Skyen! I learned from Comic Drake that when Mar Vell died, Marvel introduced Monica Rambeau as the new Captain Marvel so they could keep having a character with that title. If I’m remembering right, Monica went by that name by complete coincidence. She had nothing to do with Mar Vell at the time. Also she was the leader of the Avengers at one point!?
Even tho I'm with the youngins, he's still the Captain Marvel I grew up with
I’m not old and still like to recognize him as captain marvel
i call him Captain Marvel because my first experience with the character was Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe on the 360, which listed him as Captain Marvel
Only the Real Ones know this cuz they love both DC and Marvel and see the appeal of both.
Sooo... You did it for the "Um, Acutally" got it flamboyant granpa

I will never stop calling him Captain Marvel.
I'm in my early 20s and I still call him Captain Marvel lol
I never knew they changed it till a little bit before the movie came out tbh
Oh Captain my Captain!!
Because I am old explains most my behavior.
Honestly I have always called him captain marvel even though im just 22 ... I honestly thought people calling him shazam are mistaking ... Honestly thanks for the informative vid
I’m not terribly old but he was called captain marvel in young justice so that’s why I refer to him as such
Yeah I didn't even realize Marvel had a Captain Marvel until the 2010s, I was always a DC fan as a kid. Also don't forget about weird bootleg one off Captain Thunder lmao.
can you please do a video essay on the marvel costume design? I feel like your jayce review has some very interesting points that could be explored further.
They still call him Captain Marvel in Young Justice
Then there’s me, who only knows it’s Captain Marvel because I played that one MK vs DC fighting game in 2012
I’m not even old and I call him captain marvel…or maybe I’m secretly old
I thought he only called himself that because if he said shazam he would turn into a kid again
I mean, he was Captain Marvel in Justice League Unlimited so that’s what I think of him as.
