I watched this series online at Netflix. Three guest star Captain Marvel. Though Captain Marvel presumably isn't around all that much as Billy Batson isn't supposed to become him unless really needed, yet each of the three times Isis wants Captain Marvel's help he's around not doing much. The first time he's move a fallen tree off a road. The second time he's standing by some boulders, presumably he was going to move them for some reason but doesn't. The third time he was just walking around with a stick in has hand.
And I don't like John Davey as Captain Marvel in these episodes. Haven't seen first seasons Shazam! in a long time but I think Jackson Bostwick was better. Davey's too old, too chubby and bad actor.
As for Isis, the opening sequence says she should able to "soar as the falcon soars" yet in the episodes themselves she has to use her power over the elements to fly by commanding the wind to lift her, flying isn't a separate power. In the last episode she suddenly doesn't rhyme when she says what she wants to happen which is jarring since she usually has to rhyme it. And I don't think she actually runs as fast as a gazelle. She seems to have whatever magic powers are needed for the episode.
