* CryForTheDevil: Although he's a murderous psychopath [[WouldHurtAChild who's willing to kill a child]], it's hard not to feel a little sorry for Dr. Sivana. As a child he was mistreated by his father and older brother, both of whom called him a "loser", and the wizard Shazam refused to give him his power due to being tempted by the Seven Deadly Sins, even though [[IJustWantToBeSpecial he was just a kid at the time and didn't know any better]]. As an adult, his life isn't much better as he still receives scorn from his family and has spent his whole life [[WhatMightHaveBeen trying to find the power he could have had]]. And after he's defeated, [[VillainousBreakdown he suffers a complete mental breakdown.]]

* CompleteMonster: In ''The (Deluxe) Junior {{Novel|ization}}'', by Calliope Glass, [[Characters/DCEUDoctorSivana Dr. Thaddeus Sivana]] is [[AdaptationalVillainy portrayed worse in the novel than in the film]]. Bullied and disrespected as a child by his family, Sivana was offered a chance at heroic power by the Wizard, but instead tried to embrace the Seven Deadly Sins for their darker, more ambitious power. Rejected by the Wizard for this evil in his heart, Sivana grew up scouring for ways to return to the Sins, and upon finding a way, he immediately embraces the Sins into himself to become a [[PhysicalGod god]]. Sivana proceeds to slaughter the dozens of people at a Christmas party held by his family, and then tears his way through a mall, endangering many civilians while trying to kill Shazam. Taking [[Characters/DCEUBillyBatson Billy Batson]]'s, aka Shazam's, foster siblings hostage and threatening them with torture and death, Sivana hopes to drain Shazam of his powers and then run rampant on Earth as an all-powerful being. Sivana is fully onboard with the Sins's plans to wipe out mankind, and even when Billy tries to empathize with Sivana's past, Sivana just [[RedemptionRejection cruelly taunts the boy]] and reiterates that he was never a "good" person, just one who wanted power.

* EvilIsSexy: Dr. Sivana is played by the ruggedly handsome Creator/MarkStrong [[SharpDressedMan wearing a snazzy suit]], so this is pretty much a given.

** While the boardroom scene is brutal and nightmarish, seeing Sivana sicing the sins on his abusive father and throwing his older brother to his death while throwing their taunts back at them is downright satisfying.

* CatharsisFactor: The Breyer brothers getting their comeuppance [[BarbaricBully for attacking a handicapped kid]] is nothing short of satisfying.

* MandelaEffect: Many viewers of the movie have recalled seeing a scene where the Shazamily sits on their thrones, with an ominous glance towards the empty chair that is to be occupied by [[Characters/DCEUBlackAdam Black Adam]]. However, while this scene exists, it was deleted from the final cut and was never shown in theatres. Presumably, this memory derives from the scene where the Wizard first explains Black Adam combined with the scene where the Shazamily gets their powers.
