It ain’t Hollywood if there isn’t a stupid, pointless and pandering race swap

Also Ariana Grande Taco Supreme? Really this is the level we’ve reached?

Cheers to the future bombing

Why does Elphaba have gigantic lip fillers? Is that really in character?

It's Cynthia Erivo. She doesn't need lip fillers because those are her real lips.

It's based on the musical of the same name ... Multi Tony Award winning musical. Also, the wicked witch is green. What race swap? And Ariana is Italian.

She wishes. I was going to comment that in this movie it's the whitest I've ever seen this woman look lol.

REALLY?!?!

Yep. She looked mixed race to me, like Alicia Keys for instance.

To be honest, I've only seen random pics of her on news sites and forums. I know is she's a famous singer, but I don't know a single song by her and I'm perfectly fine with that. Not interested in modern pop music at all. I'm in my late fifties, I stopped following the latest music trends 20 years ago.

Well, I'll say this. Her vocal range is similar to Whitney Houston's. Cynthia Erivo (the wicked witch) is close to that, as well.

Ariana ...

The Wicked play came out in 2003, and the original book came out in 1995…

yep...so more realistically Wicked is the progenitor of every cringe rainbow connection men are trash yaaas queen power fantasy movie released today.....ie....every movie released today.


I love the original wizard of oz....which by the way is a movie about a teenage girl lead character that is able to lead 3 men on the path to finding what they want and saving a kingdom....well technically the dog does the last part but hey she raised that dog.


So many things can be done with the oz stories...and everyone does none of them
