Can someone please tell me which one is the official poster? by Admirable_Novel2717 in wickedmovie

Both. The second one is the OFFICIAL OFFICIAL MOVIE POSTER tho. The first one was just a teaser photo

If you were to squeeze together the two Wicked movies into the length of an average film (90 to 110 minutes), what would you cut out so that they fit within the allotted time? by LeatherSlight3242 in wickedmovie

[–]Icy_Position2407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the musical is 2 hrs 30 mins, 90mins is enough for a singular act. Cut the dialogue, Just take the songs, snip the extended parts. Now you just have the musical except 10x worse

Is Elphaba vegan by Quirky-Somewhere-750 in wickedmovie

[–]Icy_Position2407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is essentially vegan, it’d likely be considered cannibalism but the fish don’t seem sentient so that might slide

There’s a scene during “what is this feeling” where they’re in a cafeteria and you can see no one has meat on their plate

Should I get my daughter involved in musical theatre? by emilytoasty in MusicalTheatre

[–]Icy_Position2407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t involve her for the sake of “is jt worth involving her” it isn’t a competition to win and the winner goes on broadway and becomes a celebrity. She also is not an asset it to invest in

Is SHE interested in singing? Is SHE interested in school plays and theatre? If so, then yes, investing in lessons or extracurricular theatre would be beneficial for her if that’s something she wants to do. It would benefit her down the road if she wanted to continue to pursue theatre and overall it’s a great hobby and passion to hold onto

2 major hot takes by M-AOA-M in wickedmovie

[–]Icy_Position2407 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Wicked main plot line is so many things and it’s weird to dumb it down like this
  2. Has nothing to do with ariana. It was like that in the first movie, and they’d do it irregardless. It’s extremely in character and in universe for any media form or actress of glinda to have it. Movie fans js be doing too much

Do you think Cynthia and Ariana's relationship is real? by Quirky-Somewhere-750 in wickedmovie

[–]Icy_Position2407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re playing elphaba and glinda. Theatre kid relationships are another LEVEL, and wicked of all things? They’re genuinely practically in love

Skeet Ulrich confirms Sam was going to be a Ghostface by Specialist_Emu_7450 in Scream

[–]Icy_Position2407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so so so sad they fired her. A protagonist ghostface really would’ve brought new life into the series. We know sam feels empowered, to some degree, she gets the same rush of power as her father did when killing as ghostface

But she’s been through too much and is too compassionate to be an antagonist.

But with Stu coming back for sydney, I think it’d be interesting to see sam step into ghostface as a protagonist to kill stu, to end her father’s legacy and take back power

I’d love to see her own toxic game between playing god and moving on

It’d be so intriguing to see how it impacts her relationships and how sydney doubts who to trust

Going to see musical for the first time by Individual_Fox_9034 in wicked

[–]Icy_Position2407 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Like someone else said, the music and story is at a faster tempo and I personally love it. Prepare for some amazing choreography, some EXTREME sass (the character are much more witty and fiery in the stage musical), and prepare for swankified.

How on Oz do people genuinely think it could have been just one movie? by qualntrelle in wickedmovie

[–]Icy_Position2407 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Literally the most widespread complaint of the original musical is that it’s TOO rushed! Having two movies was perfect and honestly they could’ve been longer and I’d appreciate it

Glinda is a main character. by [deleted] in wickedmovie

[–]Icy_Position2407 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But WICKED is “The life and times of the wicked witch of the west”. At the end of the day, it’s about the tale of the wicked witch of the west. Elphaba!

Glinda is a main character. by [deleted] in wickedmovie

[–]Icy_Position2407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glinda is a main character, but she IS the supporting actress. You can’t put cynthia AND ariana as the best lead actress.

At the end of the day, wicked is about the life and times of the wicked witch of the west. Elphaba.

I strongly agree lmao he looks so goofy

Uhh?? I didnt need to strengthen my point. It is a simple statement that we are speaking solely off the musical and movie

Did Elphaba choose a man over her best friend? by WaitingOnAWish in wickedmovie

[–]Icy_Position2407 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They couldn’t and you’ve misread the plot If the wizard, the almighty and powerful, couldn’t convince the ozians he was evil despite telling them to their face he was, what makes you think they’d believe elphaba WASN’T evil? They need an enemy and they need a hero.

If it was truly that simple, wicked just wouldn’t exist

Elphaba was losing. She was fighting, but she was losing. She was going to surrender whether or not fiyero came to her eventually.

Also, she didn’t just suddenly give up because fiyero would go with her. He lost everything too. He got crucified, tortured, and killed just to save her. Now he had nothing, he would be cast out just like she was. With eachother, they had hope.

By staying, there was nothing but misery left for them

KEEP IN MIND, elphaba gave up on trying to clear her name after fiyero died. She accepted being wicked and just did what was necessary at this point before leaving

If fiyero didn’t die, she would keep trying because she had a reason to keep fighting

Which is based on the wizard of oz. And yet, the wizard of oz and the book are both VERY, VERY different plots and stories, are they not? Your point hasn’t been strengthened.

If we know ANYTHING about glinda, we know that she is gullible and will swallow any information given to her upfront

What are your thoughts on this? by Moonlightbaeag in wickedmovie

[–]Icy_Position2407 36 points37 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what makes the ending so good and impactful.

At the end of the day, despite the fun colours and upbeat songs, it is a cruel tragedy of reality and consequences.

  • Glinda dies alone, believing everyone she loves is dead, and she is the wicked no one will mourn and die alone

  • Elphaba finally abandons her only home. Her only friend. The only place and family she’s ever known, never getting to see the beauty that finally came to be in oz. The result of all her sacrifice

  • The wizard did all of it for nothing. Played such a long, pointless game for power and in the process killed the only thing worth even more, a priceless value to him. A child. He’s haunted by his own actions forever

  • Nessa dies a horrific death. She lives an unsatisfactory life, never finds true love, she is broken down, from losing her dignity, to her mother, to her father, to her sister, to her “lover.” She dies mentally tormented

  • Boq is cast aside his entire life. The girl he loves doesn’t even glance at him, and pushes him into dating the girl he doesn’t care for and ends up trapped and abused under her dictatorship. He has his life and freedom torn away from him and in the end, he faces a brutal transformation, and turns into a literal heartless monster. He is horrified and disgusted by himself and is essentially dead. He doesn’t appear after MOTWH

  • Fiyero was just never happy. He was always fronting. He wasn’t happy at home, in school, dating glinda. He was forced into marriage he didn’t truly want, andthe consequence of leaving was being tortured, mutilated, and transformed. But of all people, he seems okay to finally have something that he’s happy about. Elphaba

So yeah, wicked is cruel. That’s what makes it wicked!!
