I think one of the big changes with Fiyero that I liked were his meet-cute with Elphaba in the woods, both because it's a great way for them to meet, and also because it establishes that he has a friendship with a sentient horse. I think that served to make his action in the poppy scene a lot stronger, and the growing feelings between them a lot more natural. And this is coming from a gelphie die-hard who kinda just sees Fiyero as their shared side piece, LOL

Not sure if this is confirmed, but I heard Mattel is releasing a Dorothy doll for part 2. If that’s true, than she will probably play a bigger part in this than she does in the musical. I personally want to see Dorothy, and her have some dialogue.

Fingers crossed for everyone who doesn't know what happens to not be spoiled for Part 2! My mom, her friend, and my brother didn't catch that the lion cub was going to be the Cowardly Lion. It was not even a thought in their mind. And I agree with Arezou; like, it's so early on I don't think people unfamiliar with the story are clocking those connections, especially if they're not looking for them. Candace- near the end of the book Elphaba starts obsessing over the Scarecrow while also still carrying guilt and love for Fiyero. She's over-contemplating these figures supposedly coming to kill her. She knows Dorothy came in the house that fell from the cyclone, she can put together the Tin Woodsman as the man whose axe Nessarose cursed, and she can assume the Lion is the trembling cub she and Fiyero saved in class that one day. But she can't wrap her head around this Scarecrow. In a manic moment mourning Fiyero she tries to cast a spell to somehow turn the Scarecrow into Fiyero, at least see his face again, let him live, and alleviate some of the guilt. But the spell doesn't work. He's just a Scarecrow. So it's the unsuccessful spell you were thinking of 2:53

We had the snyder cut bros! We need to get a Zahn contingency going! Make the Zahn movie's!

Lucas films had the story after episode 6! They fuck it up!

While I love Filoni! I think he or the powers are fucking up Thrawn! Timothy Zahn should be writing the Star Wars movies! Everything great after episode 6 involves Timothy Zahn! My Canon is the three trilogys involving Thrawn! Put 7, 8, 9 into legends! Start with Thrawn, then Alliances and Treason! That would be before 4,5 and 6! Then do Heir to the empire! With new cast! Then dark forces and then the last command!

Arezou - you are wrong. They did sing live for Wicked. What you hear in the film was sung live on set. And Cynthia *did* sing live while doing her stunts - and that is what you're hearing.

Just watch Wic . I had hoped the split from the show is where Fiyero was sending Elphaba to the forest setting the Lion free and she has a sense of that her sister is in trouble . So the cyclone was formed . Before that Boq had became the Tin Man and Nessarose’s shoes turned ruby . Let’s see what happens in ked . The 2nd act . Putting it together becomes Wicked .

Les mis was a big disappointment. Wicked did everything correct and healed us from the les mis wound 😂

Wait, there's people that exist that didn't know it was only part 1? Tbf I'm a f@g so I guess I just know these things 😂😂😂

Thrawn is the best badass in Star Wars! The Thrawn trilogy should of been 7, 8, and 9!

Timothy should be at the helm of Star Wars with Dave!

The big advantage for splitting into parts is that you don't have to move on right after defying gravity

I get that some people do get typecasted as a decade or two younger because they actually do easily look that way, but Ben Platt you do not fit into that category of humans.

❤❤❤

I love SpongeBob SquarePants when I was a child it's my favorite show on Nickelodeon.❤

It didn't feel like two hours when I watched the movie (I just find it a bit long in the end when they arrive at the Emerald City). I can't see how they could have reduced it without cutting songs (though at the same time I'm disapointed they didn't add more, I thought it was the point but I didn't feel like it add something more to the story compared to the stage version). So I don't mind they cut it in two. But at the same time, part one feels like the build-up for the actual story. When you watched it, you feel like tou just had an introduction to the world and characters and that the story will really start in part 2. It's a really good introduction, but I can see how people who don't know the musical could have expected something else.

Are you concerned about spoilers for Part 2?

2:35 okay but they do mention that Fiyero has been expelled from other schools, so in that context I doubt it would his first year, therefore acceptable to be in his 20's. & Elphaba is also older because she was only there to accompany her younger sister on move in day, not because she intended to go there. So it's fair to have her be older as well.

The funny thing is, there behind the scene clips of Cynthia singing well while doing her stunts 😂

Candace camera is so clear!

The vocals in the movie were live. Cynthia did all the stunts while singing

I loved all your points! However, the “AIR-iana” pronunciation was driving me a lil crazy 😂 it’s actually pronounced “ARR-iana” (arrrr like a pirate lol). Either way, great points and I loved this video! 💚🩷

I've seen it twice. It's been the only movie I've gone to a theatre to see twice. And I'm going again. I loved Cabaret and Chicago, but after this year, I've had Wicked will be my go to. I should mention Hamilton, another favorite, and I love it. Not sure it could successfully be adapted to the screen.

the broadway orchestra - 23 instruments. movie orchestra 80

In fact Erivo's voice in the movie is her singing live while doing her own stunts, There was more than one take and they aren't always matched to the take you're seeing, but her singing in that scene is live while flying.

This soundtrack..... I agree with y'all it's much better than the original Broadway recording. Cynthia and Ariana are 🔥🔥🔥

Huge Wicked fan, seen the play 4 times, and LOVED this movie. However, you are correct that the vocals are NOT LIVE! I wish they would stop pushing that lie. As a 25+ year professional musician with a lot of music recording and engineering experience I can tell you that those are absolutely studio vocals, and there is also quite a bit of pitch correction, which if you know how it sounds, you can hear it when the original vocal is relatively off pitch because the software has to modify the audio file more than if it's close to on pitch. And Cynthia Erivo does NOT NEED PITCH CORRECTION! Cmon, let her be the incredible human singer she is!! I could also hear a couple of obvious punches (replacing a part mid phrase with the same part from another track/take), and there are a couple of places where the lip syncing is clearly off. But it doesn't matter - the movie is fantastic! I was so worried they were going to blow it with this adaption because I love the play sooooo much, and especially after I heard they were breaking it into two parts. Now that I've seen the movie, I don't think it would have been NEARLY as good without breaking it in two. Wicked fans, you will LOVE THIS! I can't wait to see it again...

I really wish Disney would make any of the "Muppets" Characters as Meet-and-Greet Characters in any of their Theme Parks!

So, so wrong about singing live! There are interviews with Cynthia about how hard she worked to be able to sing while in a harness and flying through the air! Do your research!

A major difference between this adaptation and Les Miserables and Cats is that Jon M. Chu understands musicals, while Tom Hooper doesn't seem to.

Sooo... you are just wrong about the live singing. They recorded it live on set like Les mis did. The difference is Les mis they were singing to a live pianist in their ear and it was orchestrated later vs wicked they had the full orchestrations recorded. They also set up the sets to also be more like a recording studio for better audio. But YES Cynthia is singing live while doing stunts and it's amazing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqqlomd4ra2Ad7ssi=m9UnYXfHEgdxQbe1

It works with it

I'm glad they kept Elphaba's lip green and not red.

Lady, I love you!!!! but what the fuck are you talking about? 😂😂😂😂😂

I loved Wicked! I went with my parents for my birthday and they had never seen it and they both enjoyed it too. I do think it's a good adaptation, because they keep the part in where Elphaba is practicing the hair swish and Fiyero catches her. They didn't necessarily need to keep that in, but I'm glad they did.

What did you think of the Wicked movie? Was it a good adaptation?

This series sounds fascinating! I need to put this on my to watch list

You can hear her making up things with every word she says 😅

Shifting the blame, gaslighting, and entangled the fans vrs taking ownership of her wrong doing. Using denial attack reverse the order of perpetrator and victim.

yes FETT!

Happy Holiday Month! 🎄☃️🎅

My favorite thing was how grown up it was. Because we grew up with them. Muppets were always a little risqué. Look at Muppets take Manhattan, there were several adult jokes. THE Muppets weren't Sesame Street Muppets. They were prime time. And not everything in a show needs to be explained to kids. That's what makes a good show that is designed to keep adults engaged and kids can watch with. There are jokes that are supposed to go over kids heads. But I don't believe this was a show intended for a target of very young kids. More for Adults, teens, and tweens. Even 90s cartoons had their moments of jokes only older kids or adults would get and it didn't mean you had to go back and explain to younger kids, it would just go over their heads. And that is fine. That's the fun of it. Rocko's modern life for example. Like the recent grown up version of "The Looney Tunes Show" where bugs and daffy were roommates, These are great remakes for the people who grew up with them. All the while there are animated kids versions of both available for little kids to watch still. I'm so upset both of these shows never got another season.

I loved this show. It did take a little while to catch but it was fun to see them in today's world after years after the Muppet show and all the other Muppet related content, the little inserts that made you reminisce about growing up with the Muppets. And it was like they grew with us, much like the adult Looney Tunes Show that came out a while ago that i loved as well. I hate it was only one season.

I absolutely thought this was a fever dream. I feel like I remember an exhausting musical number and sitting down with the kids, out of breath and saying "wasn't that fun?" exactly like Giselle from Enchanted. I don't remember this well because I was like 4 years old.

The show lost a lot of its charm after you got Shannen fired. Nobody likes malicious women as coworkers.

Mammon in the background tho😂✨

Dont waste your time. I heard the play is good and the book is insanely perverted

I love how the woman interviewing said that her kid went as Doof for Halloween...because I actually went as Perry the Platypus (specifically Agent P) for Halloween once back during the show's peak popularity, that was a really fun costume to make with my grandma. 😌👍

I've been playing The Sims since TS1 came out. It was not at all clear how to complete this. Thank you.
