WithMorgan Freeman’s God recently driven by the grace of gold, a player has now introduced the undying townsfolk to Michael Jackson. An image uploaded to Reddit by alive9707 captures the “King of Pop” near the First Step Site of Grace, with the caption “Elden Ringboutta be struck by a smooth criminal.” Draped in the Prisoner armor set, and boasting a Glintstone Staff, the interpretation is of Jackson’s later years, when treatment for a skin condition known as vitiligo likely caused his complexion to lighten, making the African-American artist appear increasingly more white.
Comments responded as can be expected, with numerous attempts to alter the lyrics of Jackson’s famous tunes to better fit the newfound aesthetic. One imagined that Jackson would befound standing over Melina’s corpseand ask if she was okay, in reference to the line “annie are you okay?” from well known track “Smooth Criminal.” Another comment went so far as to author an entire verse and chorus for “Beat It,” but with anElden Ringspin. There were a few crude allusions to allegations of sexual abuse, as well as a reference to when Jackson’s hair was set alight during a Pepsi commercial, with the fire likened to the Flame of Frenzy.
