History Headscratchers / Wishmaster

** "Done." "What?" "Oh, I'm sorry you must have blinked. I was imprisoned in an unbreakable chest on another planet for a microfraction of an instant in time since you didn't specify how long I was to remain in the box. You should have wished for "for eternity or something," but since you didn't I was allowed to be creative. Also 'unbreakable' doesn't mean unlockable, so I installed an automatic release function on it. Now you've got one wish left." Or alternatively, the box is about the size of a small closet and you're locked in with him since you didn't specify how big the chest had to be, and he created around both himself and you because you were standing next to him, and you didn't specify that he can't take anyone into the chest with him. You're now trapped in close corners in an unbreakable chest on Mars with the Djinn, and he wants his third wish.

** "Get lost" doesn't imply "be where no one else is", as there are plenty of folks in the world who don't know where they are or how to get where they're going. Or he could produce a box set of a [[Series/{{Lost}} certain TV show]] and [[JustForPun get Lost]].

* So if the Djinn can't be destroyed by their own wishing... what about depowering them? Say, "I wish that you and every Djinn were normal, powerless humans for as you as you and your kind will live afterwards."

** Depends on how you phrase it. More likely the Djinn would twist it into "Fine, you control the actions of the Djinn for a moment in time. Now onto the destruction of humanity," Or "You already control the Djinn. It's called wishing, and each command counts as a wish. If you want to control more, you'll have to work out a deal with each Djinn individually." Tampering with the Djinn's essential nature typically doesn't work, as they are eternal beings who are that way because God created them that way. If you wished precisely that "I wish that the Djinn inflicted minimial damage and I ruled the world" might be granted as "Granted. All of humanity is dead. But we left all of its lovely buildings and possessions perfectly intact. You now rule a world of corpses with only the Djinn as company."

** "The 'alternate dimension' is this one (remember, we're not native to this dimension so it's indeed an alternative dimension FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. I originally came here from an entirely different dimension, so when you say 'released into an alternative dimension' I say 'that already happened and I'm now standing in it and now I can bring all my friends here as I've always wanted'). A foreign land is a still foreign land even if you're standing in it. And now we can say that no life exists here because the Djinn race wiped them all from existence, and now there's no need for hurt any one ever again."

*** No no no, this is not twisting the wish, it's just simple refusing to grant it. You cannot twist "alternate" ("another one") into "altered" ("it's the same, but changed"). This is not simple InsaneTrollLogic interpretation, this is like comfirming someone said "yes" when he very clearly said "no". If this works like this than Djinn shouldn't even bother to listen whatever human says and it would be imposible to catch him into "love trap" from the Wishmaster 4.

** Nope, he apparently cannot undone eternal things, which, if I understand the Wishmaster universum correctly, also imply human souls. However it will also mess with prophecy making it impossible to fulfill.

* First wish: "I wish you are locked in an unbreakable chest". Second wish: "I wish this unbreakable chest that you are locked in is transported to another planet". Sure the box could eventually be found by people exploring space and possibly unlocked via lock-picking or something similar, but by the time technology has advanced to that point you'll likely be long dead and unable to make your third wish. Then the djinn will likely be the problem of the person who unlocked the box.

** The wisher can't kill themselves. A person tried shooting the wisher to keep her from wishing in the second movie, but the bullets didn't affect her. It has something to do with the link that is established by the wisher and the Djinn. Maybe he shares his invulnerability with them for the duration.

** The Djinn has to find a new host to grant three wishes. Remember, in the start of the first film the king made 2 wishes, and died without ever making a third one.
