How I Know: Born in 87 I’m a child of the 90s and DISTINCTLY remember both Shazaam and Kazaam in the theaters around the same time. I remember thinking how retarded it was to have two genie movies that looked so stupid and also so similar to one another be in theaters back to back. If Shazaam never existed, then why would I have a this memory of the dual geneie movies at the same time in the 90s with the same everything the name was just one letter off?


Theory: I imagine that they always knew they were going to ‘do a magic trick’ with the Shazaam movie and try to gaslight people down the line into thinking it was made up.

If you know anything about movies and movie theaters there is lots of security when it comes to the reels and such. I imagine they were under strict orders to recollect any of the Shazaam advertising material and dispose of it. The movie was a piece of shit nobody would have cared in the moment to collect memorabilia from it and nobody had cellphones back then taking photos of everything they ever did. What are the chances someone would get proof of some piece of shit genie movie?

Further points: sinbad gets ENRAGED when people bring up shazaam and dont take his bullshit for an answer

There is lots of well poisoning ‘fake proof’ of shazaam out there.

Also the ‘its always sunny’ episode with Sinbad is basically an admission of the whole shazaam psyop.


Who else remembers Shazaam?

Also I guess some people who saw it a bunch have pieced a few plotlines together like wishing for tons of candy or bubblegum or something and people generally agree the movie was horrible (on purpose I assume). I never saw it but I know it existed 100%.

Wait, now they're saying Sinbad wasn't in Shazaam?
Never even heard of Kazaam.

Indeed, anon. According to the powers that be, the movie ‘Shazaam’ starring sinbad as a genie never existed and we are all making it up!

Of course I believe this is just an example of a gaslighting psyop because thats the kind of shit these people get off on.

An interesting angle i didnt mention is that Sinbad was allegedly cracked out during this time period and it is very very possible that sinbad doesnt even really remember filming the movie.

Lots of artists get so fucked up and do work in the middle of a bender and forget they did it.

Maybe sinbad gets so defensive over it because he doesnt even really remember filming the movie and it was a bad time in his life.

You want to know what's really fucked here?
The reason Americans falsey remember Shazaam! is because there was a brief promotion of the UK TV movie "Bernard and the Genie" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_and_the_Genie) in the USA that was over too quickly for any the promotional materials to get made or distributed. So it is as if it never existed. A lot of the scenes people remember from Shazaam! are from Bernard and the Genie.

Bernard and the Genie was a Lenny Henry vehicle. Who was Lenny Henry, you ask? Well, only the same bloody guy who replaced ROY JAY in the Smiths crisps adverts in the 80s, doing a ROY JAY impression.

The Smiths adverts were Lenny Henry's big break. So the chain of events thats begins with Roy Jay getting his cock out ends with milions of Americans misremembering a genie movie.

everything about Bernard and the Genie matches the false memories of Shazaam! and it would have been promoted in the US just a little while before Kazaam was in the cinema

Starting to think this psyop goes beyond covering up a shitty movie.

It's not real. People are thinking of Kazaam, and mixing it up with Shazaam, because of the super hero, who was missing from pop culture at the time but still had a long term influence on pop culture from when it was still relavant decades eariler. That is the complete explanation. Also Sinbad did wear parachute pants as well like a genie would.

Wrong, kazaam means NOTHING to me. I only ever knew of shazaam and the weird ‘kazaam’ knockoff.

I never even knew kazaam was supposed to be some super hero. I dont give a shit about super hero or comic book chrs

99% of these things are just people misremembering things they didn't pay much attention to, like picrel, as someone who is pretty much obsessed with Pokemon and has followed the franchise since the very beginning I can tell you that no, Pikachu never had a black tip on its tail, people are either confusing it for Pichu's tail, which is black, or simply misremembering because they were only into the first generation like 30 years ago.
BTW, Shazam is a DC Comics property and has been around for quite a while, so your mind is likely just conflating memories of that with Kazam, a Shaquille O'Neil movie from the 90s, same for Looney Tunes, same for Fruit of the Loom.

Actually while Shazam is the name of the one who gives him his powers, he was called Captain Marvel until about 15 years ago. And yes there's a Marvel character by the same name (several actually) and that was a point of contention with the two because they both had a supposed trademark they were fighting about (Marvel copyrighted it when DC unknowingly let it lapse). Finally it was ruled in favor of Marvel, provided they have ongoing work using the name (hence why Ms Marvel was renamed to Captain Marvel and put in the MCU) while DC had to permanently ditch the name and renamed him Shazam.

This movie would have taken place when he was still called Captain Marvel

I have mandela effect but that might be actually missmembering because when i was watching anime toradora back then i thought Ryuuji and Taiga kissed at the top of the building and their friends Minori and Kitamura actually ended dating together. I was rewatching it after some time and i was weirded out what the fuck is happening when i saw none of that actually happened and Minori was actually in love with Ryuuji which i thought is impossible.

"uhhh people remembering things wrong" isn't a valid argument. yes, memory is imperfect, but millions of people have _the same exact_ memory. not "i thought there was a wooden crate in the fruit of the loom logo", not "i thought it was a bunch of vegetables", everyone remembers the same cornucopia. people have conducted blind experiments asking strangers on the street to describe the logo, half or more talk about the cornucopia. no prompting, suggesting, or prior exposure to the mandela effect. if it could be explained with "false memory", everyone would remember something different and there would be no phenomenon.

"uhhh multiverse timeline swaps bro" is plausible yet lazy. there's nothing to suggest this isn't the cause, but does anyone have more interesting/engaging theories to field?

I was always thinking about something related to this it sounds bit crazy but if you want to hear it then here it is.

What i imagine is happening that there are changes in human ghost. When i say human ghost im talking about human connected consciousness (hive mind) that's what human ghost is. There are three planes of existence 1 physical (body) 2 astral (spirit) 3 mental (ghost) ... humans to exist in this world need to have physical body, spirit and be connected to ghost which shares the ideas of humanity.

It seems that there is disconnection happening or perhaps something else for me evolution means that you are starting in very low level (insect ghost) then when insect develops some sort of independence it's moving bit higher to animal and later to human but there is problem that there is way too many humans and animals are being reassigned to human ghost and bodies while spirit is not there. That is causing problems or there is evolution happening on level of human ghost and people are changing it without them knowing. Because it doesn't matter what reality is if in hive mind everything is different.

Faggot spotted

Shazaam with sinbad was real not even closely similar to people having false memories

An entire generation doesnt make up a false memory of an entire movie and my memory doesnt even make sense as a ‘false memory’

The memory of mine is ‘why the fuck are they making ANOTHER genie movie that looks exactly like that retarded sinbad genie movie that just came out?!?!’

What false memory am i confusing this for? Some third unknown genie movie??? Wtf. Retarded
