If you can teleport and turn anything into anything, why do you need to fire yourself out of a giant longbow to punch some birds? Smigel was right, Shazzan must just be really bored.
This is the one and only time Hanna Barbera tried to be creative with a character, and so it throws the viewer for a loop. I remember one episode where Shazzan was trapped in a cage, and the simplest escape would have been to just shrink and slip between the bars. Instead he turned himself into a conga line of tiny Shazzans and marched out in step. Again, style.
This is some bullshit; I was created by Allah from smokeless flame and given free will and now suddenly I'm having to help out these little knuckleknobs. What happened?
