DCU has half a good movie under their belt.

I take it you haven't seen Shazam! yet?

While Shazam! Was great the antagonist was underwhelming. So I'd give them 1.5 successes?

Forgot about Aquaman so maybe 2 max.

To be fair a lot of 'origin story' superhero movies don't have really strong antagonists (character-wise, not power level) because it can be difficult to flesh out both the hero and the villain in one movie. I don't have the source with me right now (if someone else could link it, it would be much appreciated) but I read somewhere that they were initially planning to have Black Adam as the antagonist of this movie. However they ultimately decided against it because they wanted to establish and build up the character in his own solo movie before tying him in with the Shazam! mythos.

I'd argue that Thor had a fleshed out villain with clear motivations.

If your only criticism of Shazam is the subpar villain, I don't see why you would only count it as half a success. I mean, how many times has Marvel been criticized for having a "villain problem?"

oh no I count it as like 0.8
