His death would also spur an increase in safety regulations on filming ads and the like.
There were animatronics, stop-motion, and hand-drawn already here, though admittedly CGI's advent would be sped up.Coming just a year and a half after the horrific Twilight Zone accident, it could *really* shake the entertainment industry.
Maybe this means more money put into developing CGI faster than OTL?

Ouch. They'll recover eventually, but that's a pretty strong blow.Pepsi could be remembered as the cola that killed Michael Jackson leading to a major drop off in sales.
It would still need to be complemented, of course. Bear in mind that Jurassic Park, a major breakthrough in special effects and filming and the movie that introduced CGI as a major force in movies, still felt CGI was incomplete and was complemented with animatronics and special effects (which is why that movie still surprisingly holds up for its age and many newer pure-CGI movies don't).I was thinking from a "what can replace pyrotechnics?" angle.. which is one of the strong points of CGI.

Maybe he dies just a year later to join the Club 27.PoD: January 27, 1984
The fire that burned Michael Jackson's hair off (and led to his painkiller addiction) is more serious and winds up killing him.
Effects, anyone? (For one thing, his post-death reputation will be much higher ITTL...)

This seems plausible.Like the accident is worse and sends his painkiller addiction out of control in a heartbeat?
