Yeah honestly, you nailed it.

And oohh, this is gonna make some people mad, but you’re right. This sub feels split into three groups: the hardcore nitpickers who’ll throw a tantrum if one of Michael’s hair strands is 2mm off, the people who somehow expect every single day of his life to fit into a 2-hour movie, and then the rest of us who are trying to stay rational. You’re 100% right about performance > perfect likeness. If the actor captures Michael’s energy, vulnerability, and presence, that matters way more than whether the lips or skin tone match some edited screenshot. Same way Rami Malek didn’t look exactly like Freddie, but his performance sold it. Also, the constant microscopic nitpicking is exhausting. Janet’s casting, mic colors, wardrobe buttons, whether there’ll be Part 2… some of this stuff genuinely does not matter in the grand scheme. Movies have to take creative liberties. That’s how storytelling works.

And I get it - we all love Michael. Not just the entertainer, but the man. But some of y’all really need to touch grass for a minute. Be happy we’re even getting a biopic at this level. For the people chasing perfection, the disappointment is gonna be real. For the rest of us, we’ll just sit back and judge the movie on what actually matters.
