Wicked truly is just like, the Autistic Black engineering student wants to fix the world's injustices by asking for help from the president, but when she gets there he's the CEO of Lockheed Martin and is asking her to pretty please build him some bombs please, and also her performative-woke white liberal girlfriend who didn't take maths or science but thinks "bombs are cool" is there

#And then in part 2 that girlfriend gets to push the bomb button #Wicked #Like he dont know how bombs work hes just the ceo #And like shes watching the world turn against other POC #The first time I watched Wicked I was like 12 so all of it went over my head but like farrr out #The allegory aint thinly veiled #Like it couldnt be any more clear if they had just gone “when the world is run by fear-mongering autocrats”#“(white middle class) polite society will turn their heads to maintain the status quo and fall over themselves to believe disprovable”#“propoganda and feed into their own biases and prejudices thus furthering the rift between peoples in their society”#wicked 2024 #wicked the musical #elphaba thropp #glinda upland
