ok no you know what? im still not over the fact they casted a guy as Pfannee in the movie. like. you think Glinda Upland has close guy friends???

as soon as this funky lil lesbian overcomes her heteronormative delusions, you think she even thinks about guys? breathes the same air as them? Men stopped existing for Glinda the moment she realized she never was attracted to them at all. All she sees is how beautiful and pretty women are and once a month she sees a guy and goes 'oh. right. men exist too i guess. pity.'

crope and tibbett are the exception, but they don't see women normally so it cancels itself out.

Boq: I think if I had the choice to stay short or be really really tall, I would choose being short, because you can always get on top of something to make yourself taller, but you can’t make yourself smaller than you are.

Fiyero: You’re just smug because you and Pfannee are the only ones who can crawl through the vents.

Boq: I am smug about that.

Galinda: Elphaba can fit into the vents too!

Elphaba: It’s true. I use it to spy on people.

Galinda: Only, she’s told me, she has to lie flat on her stomach and squirm her way along—

Elphaba: Like a snake. >:]

noooo i want to put out a blanket note that the point of any of my posts is never ever ever that wicked shouldn't have been split into two parts! i am a wicked two part movie truther and i always have been!

movies take longer to tell stories than plays do. and cutting a show down to fit into a single movie, even a three hour movie, is almost always going to do a disservice to the source material.

that's how you end up with cut songs, cut plots, cut characters. and in shifting the show around to fill those gaps, you lose even more. that's what happened with in the heights, with mean girls, probably with others i'm not thinking of right now.

wicked part one is a fantastic movie. it covers act one beautifully and loses nothing about it, which still blows my mind.

it adds to it. it deepens it. not only in little asides and additions like the scenes from elphaba's childhood and her sorcery lessons, but also just in taking a beat in existing scenes in ways the play doesn't have time to, or that don't fit the live theater medium--for example, elphaba and glinda's long walk to get to the wizard, or pfannee and shenshen plotting about the hat with galinda and sniping at elphaba on their way out.

movies can't and don't rush through moments the same way a quick-paced live performance does, which means if you don't want to sacrifice plot or songs or dialogue--and i, at least, don't--you need a longer runtime. more space to breathe.

wicked, the way i see it, isn't cash grabbing in two parts. it's giving itself room to breathe, and it pays off in quality and quantity.

Cynthia Erivo about her castmates via Instagram stories.

I realized I haven't brought this up in my posts talking about my thoughts on the Wicked movie but it's something I'll bring up anyways.

I don't get or like how they genderbent Pfannee to be the sterotypical mean gay bestie. The only reason I assume they did that was to give Glinda/Ari a gay best friend because it's "in character" for her or something.

If they really wanted to include a gay character or give her a gay friend, why not include Crope and Tibbett who are already canon?

...Oh, I guess it might be because they don't fit the trope of being a straight girl's gay fashion accessory. (and are canonically friends with Elphaba)

Wicked Trailer 2

Elphaba and Glinda "meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda's unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba's determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West." (Universal Pictures)

Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba), Ariana Grande (Glinda), Michelle Yeoh (Madame Morrible), Jonathan Bailey (Fiyero), Ethan Slater (Boq), Marissa Bode (Nessarose), Jeff Goldblum (Wizard of Oz), Bowen Yang (Pfannee), Bronwyn James (ShenShen), and Keala Settle (Miss Coddle). The film, the first in a two-parter, is directed by Jon M. Chu. Gregory Maguire's novel of the same name was adapted for the screen by the stage production's book writer Winnie Holzman and composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz.

Wicked releases to theaters November 22, 2024. Part two will hit theaters on November 26, 2025.

So if Book Boq tried to hit on Pfannee and Shenshen…

And the movie genderswapped Pfannee to a boy…

Then Movie Boq is bi. Argue with the wall.

You and I will have much to discuss when you eventually see “Wicked”

The musical theater snob part of me is like “fuck no, we are not going to watch Ariana Grande for more than 2.5 hours. This is a terrible idea on every level and I renounce this movie from the depths of my soul.”

The part of me with the beat up copy of the book with the map torn out and then taped back in because I needed it for fanfic reference when I studied abroad is crawling out of the cave where she has been buried for years. (This me is also very mad that they gender-swapped one of Galinda’s friends because DO YOU KNOW how much Pfannee/Shenshen I wrote????)

Then there’s the part of me who just wants my dash to be 90% Kathryn Hahn again.
