what does her expression tell you about her character?
Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster
Varyk@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks agoi disagree, but your interpretation of her eyes is your own and completely beside the point.

ooh good question.
she has a very deliberate stare and a relaxed face, so it looks like she’s hearing something she doesn’t like that concerns her and she’s deciding what to do about it.
I also see something vulnerable in there, since the muscles around her eyes aren’t very tense, but still a very earnest look.
hoping for understanding, with a little resignation to do what must be done.
she’s nailing it with respect to her role, now that you bring it up.

you described almost every “resting face”.
Varyk@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
I thought the resting face was supposed to be aggressive or bitchy?
she doesn’t really have those qualities in this expression.

It’s not besides the point. It’s in fact the whole point. That’s why there is a fan edit and a response and a backlash to the backlash.
All of this is the point here. You can’t handwave away the other side cause you don’t agree or want to handle that argument.
Her eyes look bored and like she’s trying to look serious. Like she’s worried you realized you can smell her last fart.

“All of this is the point here.”
no, unless you are responding to somebody else, you are barking up a tree in a completely separate field.
“You can’t handwave away the other side cause you don’t agree or want to handle that argument.”
I’ve swatted every insult and argument here so far without breaking a sweat because they have no standing or, like your comments, are completely irrelevant to my comments, what you might want to try reading before responding to.
what you think of her expression is completely immaterial and irrelevant to any of my comments.
maybe you think you’re responding to somebody else?
you can think anything you like about her expression. whatever you like; it sounds like you like farts, so you’re thinking about farts.
That’s fine, and is completely irrelevant with respect to invalidating her own feelings of erasure.
that is what I have been addressing, and what most of you have completely whiffed on or shamefully been attacking her for.
I don’t care how people see the poster, I care that people are not respecting her feelings at being erased from her own artwork.
it doesn’t matter what you think of the artwork in the slightest.
it matters that you’re disrespecting someone for expressing themselves, bullying someone because they are being sincere.
you’re dehumanizing them because what they say makes you uncomfortable.

Her own artwork…. Movies are collaborations. She it a tiny but important part of the artwork not the entirety. Shit she’s like the sixth person playing the role. She created not much.

“She it a tiny but important part of the artwork…”
yes. and look how furious and contemptuous it has still made you that she has an opinion about her own work.
you claim she’s so unimportant, so why is it that she deserves so much contempt and abuse from a dozen strangers in one post simply for expressing her opinion, without demanding change or attacking anyone.

Wow. Ok.
You know you can make something and it still be bad right?
Varyk@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
what do you need help with understanding here?
you need an example of someone that made “bad” art, you mean?
