Why is no one talking about Leaving Neverland 2 Or contradictions of the accusers?

I noticed no one seems to care about Leaving Neverland 2 or be talking about it. Why aren't more people discussing the factual problems with "Leaving Neverland"?

I've noticed that many discussions about Michael Jackson focus on the allegations without examining the serious inconsistencies in the accusers' stories such as:

  1. James Safechuck claimed abuse at Neverland's train station between 1988-1992, but construction records prove it wasn't built until 1994-1995 - this is a major lie!
  1. Wade Robson claimed his first abuse happened in January 1990 when his family went to the Grand Canyon without him, but his mother Joy testified under oath that Wade went WITH the family on that trip
  1. Robson testified IN DETAIL as an adult under oath in 2005 that nothing inappropriate ever happened
  1. Wade Robson asked Michael Jackson for permission to get married at Neverland Ranch in 2005 - why would he want to celebrate his wedding at the place he later claimed he was abused?
  1. Stephanie Safechuck (James Safechuck's mother) stated in the documentary that when she heard about Michael Jackson's death in 2009, she "danced" and was "so happy he died" because she thought "Oh thank God, he can't hurt any more children." However, according to her son James, he never told anyone about his alleged abuse until after seeing Wade Robson's interview in 2013, and only then told his family about it.

This creates a major contradiction: Stephanie Safechuck couldn't have known about the alleged abuse in 2009 when Michael Jackson died if James didn't tell her until 2013 - four years later.

This is another significant timeline inconsistency that calls into question the narrative presented in the documentary. It's difficult to reconcile how Stephanie could have had this specific reaction to Jackson's death if she was unaware of any alleged abuse at that time. This type of contradiction represents more than just hazy memory - it's a fundamental issue with the timeline of disclosure that the documentary doesn't address or explain.

These aren't minor discrepancies but fundamental contradictions in their stories.
I'm not saying we shouldn't take abuse allegations seriously, but shouldn't we also consider verifiable facts that directly contradict these specific accusations?

People seem to take the documentary at face value, without question - it’s strange to not want to consider all the facts especially when some of them are major.

Honestly, I wouldn’t bet my life of MJ innocence but I also thinks it’s entirely plausible he’s innocent when I heard the above.

Why is there so little interest in most people to examine the full picture/the pure financial greed of these two accusers constantly attempting to get millions after their case is thrown out so many times in Leaving Neverland 2?

@Eastie77Returns aren't they literally suing for millions or even billions? Don't think there's too many ways to make that sort of money.

The second documentary didn't put anything new out there and didn't attempt to explain the things they got wrong. So nothing much new to talk about.

I think there are dozens of easier ways to make money than to stand up in court and concoct a story describing in painstaking detail how you were raped when you were a child.

I do question the sanity of MJ supporters who think two grown men would put themselves through that, not to mention the hate, death threats etc they’ve had to put up with, all for a pay check. The same supporters who think that the similarities in their accounts of the abuse is just a coincidence. The accusers did not know each other so how likely is it that they both made up similar stories simply by chance?

It is not unheard of for a child victim to defend their abuser and confusion of dates when abuse took place decades ago wouldn’t be surprising either.
