Wicked Movie Musical Teaser

The Color Purple turned out to be a good movie with multiple award nominations.

Yeah i also thought too much CGI.

They both looked older than college/university students. I just hope it won't have the same backlash as Dear Evan Hansen movie.

looks like there's a time change as you see the tinman and scarecrow before they are changed from their former selves

Ariana Grande's makeup styling looks really, *really* unnatural. Her look reminds me of the Wayan brothers' whiteface in the movie "White Chicks", or Ben Platt's "uncanny valley" face in "Dear Evan Hanson". What would be so "wrong", or unacceptable if Galinda were LatinX? I can't think of a single reason why they tried to make her look white. There's just no need for it.

For me, the song, "Popular" is much less believable coming from a character who's personal styling reflects her desire to be something she's not. Especially since she's singing it to another character who feels no need to hide, or cover up the fact that she's GREEN. Poor thing... Why'd Galinda feel a need to distort herself like that? Elphaba should sing the song to Galinda.

Not a fan of Erivo's gravelly vocal riff at the end of "Defying Gravity", either. I also agree with others about the excess of CGI.

So for me, what little was shown in the trailer sadly screams, "Nope". Not gettin' my money.

Beloved….. Ariana is white

Oy vey.

The strain on that Defying Gravity riff was painful.

She's Italian. My bad in describing her as LatinX. Should have said, Mediterranean. Still, she's gorgeous as she is. I still don't see why she was whitened up. No reason to do it and it makes her look awkwardly unnatural.

Miss Ponytail has been blackfishing so hard her whole career that when she finally drops it for a role, everyone thinks she's in Whiteface. I just have to laugh.

You people are why we can't have nice things."

Just speaking for myself I wasn't trying to be overly critical, I just felt that Erivo didn't sound good doing that riff on what is the most iconic song of the musical. Other than that I won't judge the movie until I see it.

Ariana Grande is white...

What you're referring to is all of the makeup and tanner she wears to make herself appear much darker.

It was only a teaser and already this has turned into another In The Heights colorism/Dear Evan Hansen ageism discussion.

It really is sad.

I thought it looked vibrant and interesting, but was perplexed by the fact that a) they'd let us hear the big money note in a trailer...and b) that they lowered it for Cynthia Errivo. I mean she can hit the original, right? It didn't sound flat to me just noticeably lower and less exciting. (And I still don't think two parts is a great move.)
