I haven't yet been able to see TII, so I've been poking around, reading recaps from ya'll, and watching little clips on YouTube.

Regarding the after credits stuff, it does seem too weird that they chose a clip of Mike saying something that could be taken as a clue that he's alive and will return...then stuck it AFTER the credits, where only hardcore fans would see it...then didn't subtitle it, so even the hardcore fans would surely not all be able to hear it.
That's just too damned odd. Either it's a hello, from M, or Kenny Ortega is a truly horrible man, who's purposely manipulating the hope of MJ's fans. And I really don't think the latter is true.

But what really caught my eye, was the scene with the Earth Song(?) girl.
First of all, what is on her arm? A bandaid? Can anyone make out what the little pictures are?

Secondly...I'm sketchy on the Heal the World Foundation. Haven't kept up with them, so can someone fill me in?

* Is this the same Heal The World that the Jackson family was suing?

* If so, can someone refresh my memory on WHY they were being sued?

See, I saw the segment of TII with the girl/world, and naturally thought of HTWF. It doesn't directly name the foundation, but it would seem the obvious association. Why are they showing us this? Because MJ wanted to heal the world? Well, duh; we all knew that. Why hide such an obvious statement, behind the credits? If you're wanting to get his "last message" out to the world, you would smack it up somewhere where people would SEE it - not at the very end of the film, which is likely to be playing to an empty theater.
Seemed like it was pointing at HTWF, so I went there. Their site does make mention of Michael's death, in the FAQs. But then when you go to their About Us page, on which Michael and his work are passionately defended (and where you would expect a heart-tugging "we must continue his dream, in his name," right?), there's nothing about his death.

And then right near the end of the page, it says this:

"When it is time, Mr. Jackson will lead HTWF into this generation and all generations to come."

Farther down, is an odd quote from Mark Twain: "Let us so live, that when we come to die, even the undertaker is sorry!"
I say "odd," because it's as if they added that in, after Michael's death. But if they edited the page to add that in, wouldn't they have taken out the line about Michael coming back to lead them, again?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Michael's focus for TII originally so his kids could see him perform, then an evolution to the focus of once again, reminding the world that it has to change? So, in 2008, he's thinking about his kids seeing him as a performer, then he starts getting those little flickers of "Wait, I could really DO something, with this; get a message out" and turns to his concerns for the world.

From HTWF:
"In 2008 based on the demand from our supporters and the devotion of our volunteers to preserve Mr. Jackson's humanitarian legacy, we formally restructured the charity under a new board of Directors and regained our tax exempt status."

I just find it really hard to believe that, in 2008, both Michael and this foundation would have apparently been getting ready for comebacks, by sheer coincidence. Just as hard to believe as the idea that the image of the little girl holding the earth, was just an innocent message of "Aw, Michael loved everybody, ya'll."

Hmm...you've got some very good points here.

I'm not sure what that thing on the little girl's arm was either. Maybe a fake tattoo??

I think they're suing the HTWF because they still included MJ's name on their site even though Michael was no longer running the foundation or something. Here's a link.

I'm not sure about the message he was trying to convey with the little girl in the end. Hmm..
