Admit it, Michael !!

[Grant]

Non-stop coverage of Michael jackson's death for two days and countless mentions of the 'single glove' and not one acknowledgement that he took the idea from Wrath of Khan.

Nick Meyer literally handed MJ one of his signature traits for 25 years and not a peep.

Too bad they cut out the scene of Khan doing the 'moonwalk' on the Reliant bridge. Then there would be no doubt where MJ got his ideas.

I was under the impression the moonwalk (at least the technique itself) was old, probably predates Wrath of Khan.

NO. He debuted both the 'moonwalk' and the single glove at the March 1983 Motown 25th aniversary special.

9 months after TWOK came out.

WHO THE HELL CARES?! Jeez, this endless celebrity crap...

Sorry. I am tired of seeing MJ's name everywhere. Even a Trek discussion board, for Pete's sake...

That was way smarter than just letting the thread fade away right?

I do think it's obvious he did copy the glove from TWOK.

He never wore a glove in any appearance before June of 1982, but out of a sudden in march 1983 he comes up with this brainstorm of coolness? No way. Rip off pure and simple. Where in pop or 'real' culture has someone worn one glove before Khan?

If you're joking, good one.

If you're serious, please never come here again.

^^So you don't think he got the idea from TWOK?

 

[Anticitizen]

He lifted Khan's best dance moves, too.

That one concert where he grabbed the guy who ran on the stage by the jacket and lifted him in the air---total Khan rip-off.

Me too. Farah Fawcett's death is more tragic and where is all the coverage on her? at least she died of a disease, MJ did it to himself.

According to this, it existed before he was even born.

Firstly, there is no such page

Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. Please search for Moonwalk (dance in Wikipedia to check for alternative titles or spellings.

Secondly, don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia!

Yes there is. When the URL appears in your browser, you need to add the last ")" manually. It hasn't transfered to the hyperlink.

Ironically, the back of this white glove (from JJ's ST publicity material) says "Live long and prosper":
