Michael Jackson's Plants vs. Zombies Replacement Found

[MrSnugglesworth]

...

Should've been a Ronnie James Dio zombie.

That'd actually be pretty awesome, he shuffles forward a bit, gives the horns and summons up four metalheads to crush the plant resistance!

I thought disco zombie was cool.


I read this and now I think its stupid.

 

[RanD00M]

That just doesn't feel the same.It has to be MJ.It just doesn't feel right any other way.

 

[Kyman102]

Hm, while I must admit that this is a nicely designed zombie, and that Disco is always a ripe target for making fun o- Wait...

DISCO STU?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Edit: And to absolutely nobody's surprise, I'm far too late in noticing this. Oh well.

 

[scarab7]

Then PvV2 comes out, then people make mode to change the all the disco zombies to MJ.

 

[Jared]

Hehe...I wonder if Simpsons are gonna complain now?

 

[Jezzascmezza]

That's pretty meh actually.
I guess no zombie can top the awesomeness of a Thriller zombie

 

[Eric the Orange]

So, they just backed down and replaced him? Kinda sad.

If I remember correctly they chose to change it from a complaint. They never attested it so it really would be "backed down".

 

[Rakkana]

Should have fought back in my opinion. But whatever.

 

[MysticnFm]

Pfft, Michael Jackson didn't have THAT much money, Popcap could easily take them on.

 

[friendly1]

Michael Jackson died leaving $100 million to his kids and $100 million to his mom.

The estate has since gained in value to the tune of more than $500 million dollars.
The estate is NOT run by the Jackson family nor do they benefit. Only MJ's kids and his mother benefit.

The etstate is run by two lawyers and PopCap knew the couldn't fight against them and win.

The thing looked like MJ and they had to remove it or the courts would.

Case closed!

Yea this is fairly old news since they updated the ipod app ive known this for a while. But in the end end will never be as good as the original. They also changed the back up dancers as well.

 

[Rad Party God]

Wow, hehe, that guy reminds me a lot of Disco Stu. It looks kinda funny, it'll be a good replacement, but nothing will ever beat Jackson's zombie.

I just hope this doesn't affect the Steam version.

 

[The Austin]

Huh. Not bad, just not as good as Jackson. I'm glad they honored his family's requests' though.

.... And what's up with the goldfish in his shoe?

 

[rddj623]

Still sad for the change but that's not PopCap's deal. Great substitute

 

[copycatalyst]

It's pretty funny looking, with a lot of amusing details, but it's still obviously second fiddle. If this had been in the game in the first place, who wouldn't be saying "it should be Michael Jackson from Thriller!"

Oh well, not worth fighting a legal battle over, I suppose.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

You, sir, are a master ninja.

Mentlegen?

 

[Kenko]

Jackson's family are a bunch of fricking vultures.
