Show some kindness and respect to MJ first.

So much for allowing opinions of others then I suppose

It's like some of you are desperate to be negative about this movie.

I don't care enough to be positive or negative about the movie. It is what it is. It's not my job to be enthusiastic. I have no control over his good it is, and take no benefit from its success.

All I can do is wait for the movie to come out, and then decide whether to watch it or not, and then form an opinion about whether it's good or bad.

I'm not gonna talk it up or talk it down, or start jumping around just because there's a couple of seconds of a "teaser trailer" it whatever it is people are getting excited about.

My happiness does not depend on the film breaking box office records or whatever. I couldn't give a shit how much money Sony's lawyers stand to make. My sense of self-worth is not linked to whether critics or other fans enjoy the film. It's literally irrelevant.

I'm honestly baffled why some people on here take it as a personal insult just because people have doubts about the quality and/or truthfulness of this movie.

Fandom obsession is the answer. Their self worth is explicitly connected with the products the estate release and how MJ is perceived.

He was a human, flaws and all. Not a god or perfection…

The way things have rapidly turned into this monster makes me very sad.

In 2026 we will experience another Michaelmania. Just like in the 80s, 90s and 2009.

The mania of the 1980s wasn’t just about a man. It was about the way that man, the King of Pop, bent time, culture, and commerce to his will. It was about the arrival of a new era, one where Black brilliance reigned supreme.

What Was Michaelmania Of The 1980s All About?

As 16 years since the untimely death of Michael Jackson near the sunset, it’s fair to reflect on the phenomenal era that marked the prime of his solo career in the 1980s.
