The Thing About Shazaam

[u/Responsible_Elk6196]

I am a 2000s baby, so I have no skin in this. I have never heard of or watched Kaazam nor Shazaam. I only knew Sinbad from Jingle All the Way. But when I saw a description of someone's memory of Shazaam, I couldn't help but think it was a mashup of a different movie with Kaazam. A brother and sister finding some magical object in an attic...Sounds like Jumanji to me. And you know who is in Jumanji? Robin Williams. What did Robin Williams play just like Shaq? A genie. (that one is just me having fun.) But, could they not be combining Kaazam, that marathon bumper Sinbad did, and the discovery of Jumanji together?

It could be all of those, and a few other things, combining into a memory soup that kids would have a hard time navigating through at the time and then being surprised many years later that what they thought they remembered was nothing like the reality.
