Wicked 💚🩷

I’m unsure as to whether this thread will be approved or not… but I decided to give a go at making a thread for not only the movie “Wicked”, but also for “Wicked: For Good” and possibly even discussions surrounding the theatre show and book!!!

 

Not just me, but I’ve noticed many fans on LanaBoards to be conversing around the subject of Wicked so this thread is great for us to share our thoughts and embrace everything Wickedddd!!!! 🩷🩷💚💚

MY TIME TO SHINE! 

I feel like not enough people call out Nessa. Like Elphaba went out of her way to take care of her and protect her, yet Nessa treated Elphaba like she was a weirdo loser freak (just like everybody else). Like girl, that is your SISTER. 
 

 

I especially hated how she jeered at Elphaba when Elphaba did her lil dance. Like girl…you’re already socially guilty by association just because y’all are family. And on top of it, you have a disability in a society that shames people for being even slightly different. Why are you trying to be a part of the group that is hellbent on rejecting you at the expense of your loyalty to your sister? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

 

Still mad about this. I hope her wheelchair gets stuck in quicksand in the sequel.

Excited for that house to take Nessa out. Hope she and her dad burn in Ozian Hell.

And then she had the audacity to dance when everyone joined it. Like you were embarrassed at first but now because it’s cool you wanna join in? She deserves what’s coming to her in For Good

I've never really been into the musical, or musicals in general cus typically you've got people bursting out into song, but no one's making subtitles for others to sing along it was kinda strange imho but. 

what I really loved about how this particular reimagining of it's the discourse that's been around it. how people can and do identify with the characters on the screen, how much they might relate to Glinda and which parts, Elphaba and which parts and the how's. I've read somewhere that the creators of the play based it off a tragic event, to which the question of,

"is someone born wicked, or is thrust upon them?"

and I just love the multiple perspectives of how things flow together, in parallel, unison and contrasts to all come together like gears n cogs in a machine. I never really liked how easy everyone else sort of just fell into being part of the public and what that symbolized. the parallels of different systems and how things can politicized but.
what I really love about the discourse most of all, is the kind of opinions/ and how environment can sort of breed or what role environment plays out into possibly affecting an individual's perception and so on. 

it can parallel hollywood, and how talent can be monopolized, dynamics etc. 
it can relate to politics and so on. 

a hidden thing that not many people might realize when they take sides so easily, is that, you gotta be careful when someone says that they're above you, or too good and better than the rest so on, bc it can get tricky with that kind of thinking, whereas evil can be something inside us already, and to a lesser extent, undesirable traits or things that make us human, are keys back to retaining our humanity and it's essences, rather than the evolution or sophistication that comes with the numbing of self and passing off that apathy at the cost of others. 

I also like the sisterhood that the two cast members shared in and offscreen.

SO SO SO REAL!!!

 

 

Guys I'm so excited for the new interpretation on Part 2 of Wicked!!! I've never seen the stage show, but from what I've heard there are 2 new original songs in the Part 2 movie (one for Glinda and one for Elphaba), plus possibly some Dorothy scenes... so so so excited

Rewatching the movie and it makes me sad when it’s time for One Short Day. Elphaba finally feels a sense of natural belonging but it’ll only last for one short day. Then the last lines “We’re just two friends…two good friends..two best friends”
