and The Karate Kid.
Lets begin.
FIRST OF ALL:
its important to decide at which point these two competitors would face off. At what stage of their life would they do battle? Because if Daniel (the karate kid) fights MJ before he has been trained by Mr. Miyagi he doesnt stand a chance. We all remember what a bitch this kid was before Mr Miyagi trained him. On the other hand, if its later in Mj's career and the karate kid has been fully trained, its also one sided in favor of Daniel-son. So lets say that this battle features Michael Jackson from the Thriller age, and the Karate Kid when he is in the middle of his training montage. In order to grasp, please observe these references.
Unfortunately MJ has blocked people from embedding his videos online. Right there he loses some points in this battle.
MOVING ON
As far as physical prowess goes its honestly a tough match up. Karate Kid is skilled in the martial arts, however no one has ever moved liked MJ. Michael Jackson was doing moves for the first time ever. That being said I give the advantage to Michael because he has the height, overall strength...and when he wants a child...he takes em.
The next area of focus is Courage/Heart.
This one is simple. one of them was trained by Mr Miyagi, arguably the best trainer from any movie ever...excluding Mick from Rocky. If Mr Miyagi trained any of us, we would have the heart of a lion and the discipline to engage in battle against any foe. Michael Jackson has no heart. He abandoned his heritage, and touches little kids. karate Kid wins this mostly because of the man behind the scene. God bless Mr Miyagi.
So lets think about this. If Michael Jackson showed up to do battle in his Thriller outfit and has the fluid moves he had in the video...it would be tough for anyone to beat him. However the theme of DC's 'versus' is to go beneath the surface of the obvious. That being said, MJ is soft. His music...groundbreaking. Say what you want about his personal preference for adolescents, he is truly the king of pop and his music success will be unmatched forever. HOWEVER Daniel, the Karate Kid has honor. did you read that word?.....HONOR. And as we all know, in the end honor will always prevail.
WINNER: The Karate Kid
