Although the younger members of the Liverpool FC team who wore those white suits at the 1996 FA Cup final are often called the Spice Boys, The Spice Girls first appearance on TV was two months later.

It seemed to be a nickname retrospectively applied to them, same with the Class of 92 being applied to the younger Manchester United players, I never remember it being used until a few years ago.

Plus, some things seem deliberate. Everyone I know agrees that the sinking of the Lusitania was the reason for the USA's entry into the Great War. In the past 20 years, we have been told that it was actually "The Black Tom Incident". In which the Germans detonated explosives in New York. The resulting blast blew out windows for miles around, and caused damage to the Statue of Liberty so that nobody could ever go inside the torch ever again. Except, of course, that tourists could go into the torch for decades after this alleged incident. Today, the Black Tom Incident is treated as fact. The past is being rewritten all the time, for political and social reasons, eg. Cleopatra... I've never heard to the "The Black Tom Incident" before!
The actual event that caused the American government to declare war on Germany was the interception of the Zimmerman telegram, which was an offer to the Mexican government from the Germans to support their claims to the South Western states if they started to border war to reclaim them.

I know of 'The Mandela Effect' and I think it is down to misremembering or conflating of two things for example 'Play it again Sam' which Bogart never says exactly but does use a different combination of those same words. A genuinely more curious phenomena is the Back To The Future References to events that hadn't happened till much later. There are some Quantum Phycicists who seriously propose that time itself is not linear and all time, past present (and future ?) are continuously happening all the time ( ha ha). So, if they are correct all those lost and wiped shows are being watched (and made) right now. Quite a thought.

An example of this is used in two episodes of Star Trek: TNG "Time Squared" and "Cause and Effect" -------------- It's a fascinating idea, and could explain how some people have clairvoyance into the future. (If you believe it)

Nobody can prophesise future events. Unless they know plans that the masses are unaware of.
In the decade of the 2010s there were countless movies, tv shows, comic books etc. abou a novel virus that caused a total lockdown of the world, with curfews, scarce resources of everyday goods etc. Prophesy or Plan?
Again, as no one can see into the future, they must have known something the rest of us didn't. In fact, several major world events have "predictive programming" across popular newspapers, radio, television, cinema etc. But mentioning some here may break certain Forum Rules...

The simplest explanation of the popularity of "novel virus" disaster stories is that it has happened many times before, the most obvious example of the modern era being the Spanish Flu of 1919-20, and it was likely to happen again in the not-distant future. The trick was guessing how it would effect our world of mass communication, global trade, and cheap international travel.

I rewatched it I 2020 to confirm how close it was to recent events. scarily so. Off topic I am not buying the main stream conspiracy theory BUT I do have knowlege of non public info that aligns with your suspicions but will not say anymore.

When I hear 'novel virus', I always think of 50 Shades of Grey...

While it's based the author's experience in the Second World War, my Dad used to reckon Catch 22 predicted some aspects of the Vietnam War a few years early.
