A public sub for those experiencing the phenomenon of the Retcon Effect, or Real-Life Retroactive Continuity, sometimes known as the Mandela Effect. This sub is meant to be a place to discuss the effect under the presupposition that for whatever reason, *it is really happening,* at the exclusion of the theory of Confabulation.

[GENERAL REMINDER] Due to overuse, the phrase "Just because you never heard of something doesn't mean it's a Mandela Effect" or similar is NOT welcome here as it is a violation of Rule# 9. Continued arguing and push for this narrative without consideration of our community WILL get you banned.

I'm so confused. Shazam came first and was the better of the two movies. I honestly forgot Kazaam existed until someone pointed out the similarities on a Shazam thread.
No cuz I worked in a video store at the time and we sold both of them. When the second one came out, I was like hoo boy, why did they make a clone so soon when the first one bombed to start with?
the poll makes no gd sense
what? your poll (and title) make absolutely no sense
ok thanks for confirming. I thought I was having a stroke or something smh.
I have no idea how you want me to vote. All I see is a bunch of shouting, and confusing comments yelling about how I should decide.
If the poll options aren't right on this one, maybe the right approach is to delete this and make a new poll with clearer options. Just a thought.
You’re right. It IS too confusing; there are multiple parts that are like that; the options aren’t really right for the wording of the question - how I said “Anyone” instead of “you” - it sounds like I’m asking whether you think anyone remembers it like that when I mean “How do people remember it themselves?”
PLEASE VOTE FOR THE FIRST OPTION EVEN IF YOU DO REMEMBER KAZAAM, THE MAIN THING ABOUT THAT IS THAT YOU DON‘T HAVE A MEMORY OF THINKING ABOUT SHAZAAM WHEN YOU HEARD ABOUT KAZAAM THAT PROVES YOU REMEMBER SHAZAAM. THAT’S THE REAL CRITERION OF THAT. AND NO OFFENSE TO KAZAAM INTENDED.
I SHOULD CLARIFY THAT I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE MEMORIES OF IT BEYOND JUST KNOWING IT BY CONTEXT WITH KAZAAM THAT ARE ALSO CONVINCING. BUT THE KAZAAM THING IS THE MOST COMMON PROOF PEOPLE HAVE THAT THEY REMEMBER IT. YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL THAT THAT BOTHERS ME BECAUSE THAT MAKES IT SO EASY FOR EVERYONE ATO PROVE THEY REMEMBER SHAZAAM AND I DON‘T REMEMBER KAZAAM AND I DON’T KNOW HOW EVERYONE CAN! THERE ARE COUNTLESS MOVIES FROM THIS CENTURY I DON’T REMEMBER BUT SOMEHOW EEEVERYONE CAN REMEMBER KAZAAM CLEAR AS DAY AND HOW IT COPIED SHAZAAM, great.
Bro what this is so chaotic
That’s definitely true.
Stop yelling at me! 😭
It’s only in all caps to draw attention because I’m trying to add disclaimers.
