A subreddit dedicated to Michael Jackson’s criminally underrated movies. This includes his feature film “Moonwalker” (of course), “The Wiz”, “Captain EO”, “Ghosts”, and pretty much all of his music videos since they’re all basically mini-movies! This doesn’t include, however, the biopics or documentaries. This is for the movies he was actually a part of or could’ve been (EG “Charlie And The Chocolate Factory”, “Edward Scissorhands”, “Spider-Man”, “Star Wars”, etc.)

Little update on the fanfic

fanwork/fan creation

Hey everybody. Sorry I’ve been MIA from this sub, been pretty busy with school, family drama, & all that stuff. Remember how I announced I was writing a “Captain EO” and “Ghosts” crossover fic? Well, its almost ready now, but since the announcement a lot has changed in the narrative from how I originally planned it, to make more sense. Mainly the part about EO’s crew being failures and about to lose their positions. Not canon anymore. But I don’t wanna spoil any major plot points, so I’ll just make a quick rundown of what is still canon:

Captain EO’s team gets a new mission, this time on Earth, from the Mayor of a small town in Normal Valley. After an altercation with the mysterious and eccentric magician Maestro landed him in the hospital, the Mayor wants to get rid of him as soon as possible. And since EO has a history with Maestro, he agrees. However, the mission turns out to be far more difficult than expected and both Maestro and EO are forced to confront their struggles and amend their relationship. Will they succeed? That remains to be seen…

There’s a bit of a problem tho: I’m pretty stumped on how I’m gonna include musical numbers into this, because I mean, come on. It’s based on Michael Jackson short films. I might turn this into an animated series in the future, when I could actually make songs. So for now you’re just gonna have to use your imagination for the visuals. And to those who’ve also watched “Ghosts”, I’m also gonna need some help with describing Maestro’s ghost friends we saw there. So that we could put faces to the names ive assigned them, and tell the differences between each one. Otherwise it’s just a bunch of names and we dont know who they’re supposed to be.

Oh this sounds nice, I'll give it a read when you post it and give any feedback on it.
