Just some thoughts on Glinda not making that final step to go with Elphaba. Elphaba has nothing to lose — she already wants Nessa to be independent, her father sucks, and her only real friend is Glinda (and Fiyero). Glinda has a whole world of people who adore her who she is afraid to leave behind (but unfortunately, she doesn’t quite realize/accept in that moment that Elphie is the one who matters, see: For Good).

But one thing I haven’t seen discussed much… In the immediate time leading up to Defying Gravity, it’s Glinda who is in the most grave danger, over and over! She faces the entire corridor of monkeys punching through glass. She is the first to come face to face with the human guards. She is the one who has to make a leap onto the air balloon. She is the one physically grabbed by a guard trying to drag her out of the basket. She is last off before the balloon collapses in flames. But Glinda goes through all that and repeatedly makes the choice to find and stay with Elphie. It was when she literally is asked to jump off a skyscraper and rely on her friend’s terrifying, newfound powers (which are admittedly shaky, and Glinda has no personal experience using herself), when she has a moment to stop and reflect on the absolute insane gauntlet that she just ran through, that she finally can’t do it anymore. And even then (!!!) she does make the run with Elphie towards the edge—just like she made that jump onto the train to the Emerald City at the last second. And if not for the guards literally ripping Glinda away, maybe, just maybe Glinda would have made that final leap with Elphie.

No clue, the earliest screening in my country is December 4th. 😭 I'm going to have to somehow dodge spoilers for two whole weeks!!

Portia, please. Just trust me on this. He literally stood there and named every single one of us like he was calling out a roster. You'll just be playing into what he wants.

Byrd sits at the top of a high rise, looking down at the street below. He stretches out and lays on his back on the roof, wings stretched to his sides.

Jeez. These are always boring. Nothing interesting happens in the meantime...

Planned Combat needs a thinking mind (ie. the Pale King was really stupid <3)

Given that Movie Nessa is played by an actress who uses a wheelchair for real and that I've heard something about the people wanting to not do the whole "she's fixed" thing, it'll be intreresting to see how they portray her transition from "Elphaba's sister" to "The Wicked Witch of the East."

Part 2's gonna be interesting for sure.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Marissa Bode has said that at least the "fixing of Nessa's disability" portion will be differently handled in part 2.

And you could already very clearly see that in part 1! In the musical, Nessa is constantly pushed around and essentially babied by all the characters. And one of the best changes is that they gave Nessa so much more agency in that regard!

So I'm super excited to see how that arc unfolds in part 2!

hi bannedfromtheaters. long time subscriber first time caller. I first got familiar with your work through the carmilla videos and rapidly you became one of my fav video essayists in the biz. the Wicked one is one of the best analysis I've seen on youtube and I have watched it at least 1.5 times every year since you released it. the one that holds a special place in my heart, however, is the one on Deaf representation in mainstream media which just 🤌🏼 it's just 🤌🏼 sooo good. anyway, I just want to say I love all your work and I wish you peace, health and success on 2025. ✨🎉🫰🏼

ps. it's ok if you don't make this ask public, I just want you to know.

🥹🥹🥹 That means so much to me, anon!!!

Firstly, I can't even believe you stuck around since the Carmilla days!! And thank you for such high praise for my Wicked video!

But most of all, it feels so good to hear someone actually say my Portraying Deaf Characters on Screen video meant so much to them!! I worked so damn hard on that video. From the way to code subtitles to go on top of the screen, to being mindful of the amount of music I put in, to the analysis and the new pixel art style I was incorporating fully for the first time (the Imogen & Laudna vid was a trial run so to speak).

I was so proud of the Deaf representation video, and then... it absolutely bombed on YouTube, views-wise. And it still hurts, tbh. And it's even shitter because YouTube can have such a way of affecting how you look at your own work, y'know? Suddenly you just start to self-doubt if the video was any good at all.

So yeah, it means the absolute world to me that it holds a special place in your heart!! Messages like these genuinely turn my feelings towards the video back to more positive and remind me why I was proud of that video in the first place!

(Also, I hope you don't mind I published your ask regardless, but I really need to have this message on my dash as a reminder that views aren't everything).
