Is iCarly playing the white Michael?

[Future Lovers 7,170]

This looks like **** I’m afraid but I expect nothing less from Lionsgate. Why they let them make this instead of a studio that isn’t **** from a butt I’ll never know.

I don't know what think, it's only a teaser but why do I get the feeling that on the scale of being polished to visionary it's leaning towards too polished while the real Michael hit that balance perfectly if that makes any sense. Idk how else to describe it but excited for the film, probably not gonna watch tho till @PartySicksays so

Ladies please, there's plenty of hee hee to go around  

Idk, I've heard things and names involved that make me optimistic but I'm never gonna be satisfied with an MJ biopic that's less than three seasons worth of hour long episodes  they just cannot adequately cover 50 years in a couple hours.

I want his TRUE story told and unfortunately, every time someone tells his story, they either vilify or deify him.

The "King of Pop" moniker is almost a double edged sword. It casts him as the biggest artist in history, and he was, but it's almost dehumanizing too, and I really worry they just can't portray both the star and the man without tarnishing his work and altruism or glazing over his struggles. Or both

Despite the good he did in the world and how incredible his work is, his story is dark. It started with poverty, abuse, and manipulation and ended with addiction, isolation, and a deeply unique mental anguish that no GP audience could truly relate to.

Well, to echo above, I just don't have faith in any team to adequately represent the 50 years between those two points in a way that satisfies stans like myself.

That's why I like the MJ musical so much. They picked a specific point in time (the rehearsals for the Dangerous Tour) and either flashbacked to his childhood or foreshadowed his future from there. And they managed to tie in his addiction, trauma, and even the child predator stuff (he was innocent xoxo) while still keeping a large focus on his work, creative process, and charity...and included some cute moments of levity that MJ stans really eat up 'cause he was a silly, silly man  

Tl;dr - I just love the guy a lot. Faults and all. Idolizing doesn't begin to cover it so I'm keeping my expectations low but I am cautiously optimistic.

[RAMROD 111,983]

It might become Black Panther level event. People might be dressing up for this

So from what I can gather, this is just J5-Bad.. correct me if I’m wrong

I’m glad this is finally getting going and it looks better than I thought.

I wish the movie will live up to expectations, and serve to cleanse his legacy, bring him back into the conversation, and place him in the historical position he deserves

[Celloo Deng 55,566]

aww Mike  I can't wait to see this. Jaafar looks great as his uncle
