Recently, I have seen a slump in Hollywood's quality of the Screenplay. Black Adam is another addition to the list. Both, the story world and narration are handled with the Whimps and Fancies of the Writer. The story starts with the inception of Black Adam and suddenly gets into the modern era portraying a different Antagonist called "Intergang". The purpose and conflicts of the story world keep on changing from time to time. Hence, it is difficult to follow the characters and their motives. Is this a story about Kahndaq citizens getting freedom from Intergang? The answer is No. Few of the characters feel that Intergangs are threatening their survival and they loot the wealth and resources of Kahndaq. But in reality, none of the other citizens seems to be worried about it. The awakening of Black Adam doesn't change their situation. The person who wakes up Black Adam is also not worried about Intergang. What happened to the wealth and resources of Kahndaq? Was it rescued and returned to Kahndaq? The writer never worries about it.
Is this a story of Justice Society saving Kahndaq from bad guys? The answer is No. For several years, Kahndaq is being brutally ruled by Intergang. The main characters of Justice Society claim that no one should harm the public but never bothers to visit Kahndaq till Black Adam awakens. Justice Society alone feels that Black Adam is a threat to society but none of the other characters feel such a way. The body language of Justice Society clearly states that they can't win Black Adam. Yet the writer wants to show (push scenes for namesake) how they form a league against Black Adam. The scenes are dull and boring. In due course, Justice Society comes to the conclusion that Black Adam is not an antagonist for society and he can be considered in their team. They are unable to dominate Intergang and Black Adam. Their scenes look weak and pale.
Is this a story of revenge by Saddoc on Black Adam? The answer is No. Ishmael, the self-claimed Intergang leader is bothered about his forefather's crown. The person with the power of Intergang can find the crown by initiating a search across the city. Instead, he elopes a small boy thinking that he will get the crown.
The story starts with the dark nature of King Ahk-Ton then Black Adam destroying the city. Later, the story starts in the modern era with Intergang ruling the place. The sudden rise of Black Adam, his stupid actions, then travels to Justice Society. In front of Justice Society, Intergang elopes the boy. But they find Black Adam's existence to be eradicated than concentrating on the boy. Then the story travels to the treaty between Justice Society and Black Adam. Thereafter Black Adam kills Ishmael. The story travels to the death sleep of Black Adam. Then Ishmael regains power from the hell with the help of his forefathers. Later, the Justice Society plans to wipe off Ishmael as Saddac. Then awakening of Black Adam, death happens to Mr.death, then Black Adam kills Saddac. Black Adam destroy the Saddac throne.
As an audience, we tend to get tied by listening to various types of story narratives and the world. There is a lethargicness in the writing. Story Worl, Characters, Plot, Situations, Actions, Purpose, and Conflicts are created just like that.
