Wicked Movie Musical Teaser — Page 2

I thought 5 things, It has a very generic cgi videogame look, Ariana Grande's acting is very, very poor, Glinda looks 12 and Elphaba looks 45, Michelle Yeoh's acting is great, that last note of Defying Gravity is just terrible, abortive and can't be true.

Yeah...Tina Fey definitely made some valid points.

I get the impression you'd have said those things without even seeing the clip.

My only problem was that the CGI and overall imagery gave me Oz: The Great and Powerful vibes. Otherwise, I was in tears and got chills throughout the whole thing. I wholeheartedly believe this will be very successful.

It really is sad."

People have every right to criticize public figures, especially when they go out of their way to appropriate other cultures/races. A trailer is meant to give a first look/impression of a film. This is everyone's reaction to that first look.

IMO people were right to criticize Ben Platt's casting. It's not ageist to say a 30 year old shouldn't be playing 16. It would be equally outrageous to cast Meryl Streep as his mother or a 20 year old as Annie. This isn't Grease in the late 70's - this sort of thing shouldn't be the norm any more. Plenty of talented, age appropriate actors could've taken on that role.

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

What do you mean “You People” ? 😡

I'm sorry...Wicked is appropriating what?

I'm not talking about the show. I'm talking about comments related to Arianna Grande's casting and people being surprised she's white. This comment was directly in response to something else - context is key.

Dont go and see it. Stay quiet."

You know they will be the first one there at the midnight showing

Vocal pedagogy isn't a matter of opinion, btw.

Whatever you want to speculate, it did not sound good and I'm not alone in thinking that. If it was a vocal choice it didn't sound very good to me and I'm surprised anyone thought that was intentional. Even if it was it sounded painful.

I don't think it sounded painful at all, and i'm not alone in thinking that...

Why would you think they'd use a bad vocal take for the film?? That makes zero sense

Does not look good in green.
