They really don't. I've spent far more time than I should have wondering how they thought they could translate that character into the modern age, and I've got nothing. Shazam seems like something best left in the past.

Like, were they going to try to tie him in with Wonder Woman's mythology to some extent? After all, isn't some of his power derived from Zeus?

Plus the fact that the character was called "Captain Marvel" and the way he's a kid who transforms into a grown-ass man is dumb too. All of this should've been left in the Golden Age of Comics.
