Fans customized the Wicked movie poster to more closely match the original Broadway poster.
Original Broadway Poster:
Movie poster:
Some fans, disappointed by the poster, altered it to be closer to the original, moving Grande’s hand and lowering the brim of Erivo’s hat to cover her eyes. The edits prompted Erivo to respond. “This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen
“None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo continued. “The original poster is an ILLUSTRATION. I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes.”
So, this seems like a completely reasonable reaction to fans making fan content.
I didn’t start this thread, FYI.
Also, I disagree with your premise that anything about this is dehumanizing. Along with that, you’re some rando on the Internet so your condemnation means nothing to me, and likely nothing to anyone else.
Not sure why you keep accusing me of things. I already told you I’m here to have meaningless exchanges with you and nothing else. We can keep going all you’d like.
" I disagree with your premise that anything about this is dehumanizing."
phew, good thing that’s not my premise.
“you’re some rando on the Internet”
… says you, the rando on the internet.
“your condemnation means nothing to me, and likely nothing to anyone else.”
oh, sure, that’s where the energy comes from for dozens of vitriolic commenters to furiously scribble all of these responses for 48 hours straight so far.
from how much none of you care.
“I’m here to have meaningless exchanges with you and nothing else.”
then I wonder why you keep declaring strong, consistent opinions based on personal values?
“meaningless exchanges”
you’re vehemently expressing your personal feelings and ideas in an extended conversation that you are personally perpetuating.
seems pretty meaningful to you.
