Corenswet’s Superman works so well bcos he feels human first, kind, and all heart. So when he finally snaps at villains like Lex or Ultraman, it feels like restraint breaking; it feels honest. This only works best when the story is careful not to romanticize the loss of control.
Thomas Mesereau (Michael Jackson’s lead defense attorney in 2005) explains why he refused to participate in the new Netflix documentary:
This is a joyous time for Michael Jackson’s fans, the biopic is breaking records, his memorabilia is selling worldwide, his music is streaming heavily, and Moonwalk is flying off the shelves. Why revisit something from 21 years ago?
He emphasizes Michael Jackson was completely exonerated — 14 NOT GUILTY verdicts after 5 months of trial and 8 days of jury deliberation. The jury included a conservative engineer, educators, a journalist, military families, and even women who had experienced molestation in their own families.
No Black jurors — yet they still acquitted on every count. ‘The case is closed. The jury sent the strongest possible message of innocence. We don’t need another documentary that can’t possibly capture all the evidence they saw.’
In May of 2026, Michael set new records including becoming the first artist in history to have 100 weeks’ worth of #1 placements on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, with “Thriller” hitting #1 again 43 years after its release. https://t.co/X9oMHFhYsv
