Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 10 months agoAs a white person I’m definitely not the one to say if that’s bad or not - but yeah that would be 100% a teaching moment - because I am not aware of anything like that. Instead of slamming down the hammer of “most offensive thing I’ve ever seen” for what I can only see as a fan poster that’s mimicing one that already exists she could have said something like “I understand why they did this, but here is why I disagree with it”. Personally as a fan of wicked, I was disappointed by the poster. Not enough to make my own, but the original poster was iconic to me.

Agreed. And the biggest issue for me with the official poster is the lack of vibrancy. It’s the drab “serious adult reboot” colours for some reason.

Makes me worried they completely missed the mark for what Wicked as a show was and Hollywood’ed it all up
