[@bookworm7076]

My mother and I just watched "Wicked - Part 1" today at the cinema and we both loved it! It's definitely an interesting and entertaining interpretation of the world of Oz. Plus, my mom and I are Nigerian-Canadians. So watching Cynthia Erivo, a British Nigerian woman, bring Elphaba to life on the big screen was a great source of pride for us.

lots of people with good hearts are made wicked because they are different. This is very accurate of our society.

[@dandereninja4750]

I wouldn’t call Elphaba wicked at the end of the story. Wicked was a title thrust upon her rather than something she became. The problem with Wicked is that she remains a victim throughout the story.

[@acappellacris2134]

[@geekychik86]

As soon as I saw the thumb nail of Jeff Goldblum my first thought was; and that right there is one of the reasons why it's a totally different story. Casting an actor in a musical who can barely sing and can't dance. As Jeff himself said: 'He was able to fool people into thinking that he could do something magical'. Yes Jeff, you did.

[@frederalbacon]

And honestly, I loved his version of Sentimental Man.

[@trevorbrown6654]

I thought he was an interesting bit of casting. Yes he's not really a singer although he's more musical than people give him credit for but he's also very good at playing quirky and eccentric characters so in some ways he's a perfect fit for the role. He's also usually cast as a good guy but he's much more ambiguous in this film.

[@frederalbacon]

@@trevorbrown6654 I love that ambiguity too. Like, he's just a foreigner in a weird land, doing what he can to survive, he didn't ask to be their deity/king, they picked him, and as a charlatan, he is just going with what makes people happy. His role with Elphie is a little more concrete, he's the antagonist of the story. But it's made clear that he's not the antagonist of Oz.

[@That_Idiot_Zero]

I'm not entirely sure but I think in the book Elphaba does die when she's melted and that was something changed for the stage musical

[@Nurichiri]

Yeah, it's been awhile since I read the book, but if I remember correctly emphasis was placed on her avoiding getting wet.

[@coasttocoast2011]

Yeah I just finished Wicked the book and there was a lot more emphasis on her water aversion so she dies when Dorothy chucks the bucket of water on her

[@StephenUnderwood2004]

I thought she died in the musical and then was in the afterlife with Fiyero is that right? Cause in the Wizard of Oz we just see the part when she dies

[@olvialee7221]

There is one thing, even though not mentioned until Part 2 is released by next year but I did remember that Elphaba faked her death in the broadway version of Wicked to be with Fiyero, who turned into a scarecrow

[@MrEhu3]

I'm noticing how Glenda is getting a pass, she is very wicked. She said she don't anybody she hates enough to give that hat to, then she gave it to Elphaba, then at the end her aim was to trick Elphaba into going back to the Wizard to be punished......now that I think about it, everybody associated with Elphaba is wicked from her father to the wizard. Elphaba is about the only person in the movie who is not wicked.

[@Micoke12]

It wasn’t a dream in the original Wizard of Oz book, that implication was added for the movie (a la the ruby slippers)

[@SteveODonnell]

I need. Originally in the movie, it was meant to reveal Dorothy was wearing the slippers after she woke up and spoke to everyone. They decided to drop that in favour of simplicity and making it a dr3am.

"Are people born wicked?" For as long as I can remember, I've lived under the philosophy/idea that evilness/wickedness is something most of us aren't born with. Instead, it's more of a choice people make later in life due to some form of unfortunate circumstances. Said circumstances could be trauma, poverty, low self-esteem or just feeling weaker than those around you. On the OTHER hand, there are specific cases of people who couldn't have POSSIBLY had such things happen in life that would lead them down their evil paths. Such examples include Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussan, Vladimir Putin, Jack the Ripper, Joseph Stalin and more presently, Donald Trump and Elon Musk

[@brittanaynay]

I loved the Wizard of Oz as a child but had so many questions surrounding the “wicked” witch. I never understood why she was deemed wicked beside chasing Dorthy. I never knew about Wicked until last year when the movie was talked about and people were gushing over the play. I’m excited to get my childhood questions answered! It looks stunning!

[@tobiasbenedictdrager965]

The funny thing is that the stageplay alone does so much clear foreshadowing, including even WHY she wants the slippers.

[@brittanaynay]

@ I need to go see this play live! I really enjoyed the movie and they did a great job making it a play but also a movie. But like you said, I feel like those emotions could be felt on deeper levels seeing it as a live play vs movie

[@tobiasbenedictdrager965]

@@brittanaynay I personally enjoyed the movie more and I spoke with someone after seeing the movie, who also said she wasn't as enthusiastic as the play. It still is a good classical musical, but I think it is in the overall story's favor that the movie spent more time with everything. I definitely don't want to disencourage you, 'cause the other reason, why I really enjoyed the movie, was because I recognised all those things from the play (which I saw the first time only the evening before).

Because the 1939 film was heavily based on the original works of L. Frank Baum in 1900, while Wicked 2024 was based from the Broadway musical that was based on the fan-fiction novel written by Gregory Maguire in 1995. These two films are actually different parallel stories that share some similarities.

[@Wildboyz6913]

How could it be fanfiction if it’s just an alternate telling of the classic? Book stores don’t usually want fanfiction to be added into their stores. They need good stories, not something people write online to vent their frustration. Fanfiction means terrible writing.

[@IainTheJust]

@ It’s called fan-fiction bc it’s not canon to the original source material and it’ll never be. It’s a retelling, a revision. The original novels were written by L. Frank Baum in 1900s, while the novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West was written in 1995 by Gregory Maguire and he drew inspiration from both the original novel and the 1939 film combined lol.

[@KarahKat]

@@Wildboyz6913 fanfiction doesn't mean bad internet thing, it means a fan of a piece of media wrote their own version/addition/whatever of the story without collaborating with the author of the original work. Fanfictions can be amazing pieces of writing but the reason that people are hesitant to use the term for their own work is because of the negative stereotypes about it.

[@Wildboyz6913]

@ I seriously doubt Wicked is fanfiction, given the fact a book was adapted into a musical, which then adapted into a movie because the musical was successful. If you’re truly looking for a fanfiction, you should try the What if series of Marvel or The Acolyte which was crap

(SPOILERS FOR WICKED PART 2) In the theatrical version, after the interval it shows that Fiyero was transformed into the scarecrow by Elphaba. One thing I questioned is that if this is the case, why did Elphaba threaten to burn her boyfriend with fire in the Wizard of Oz movie? I know Wicked usually ties up loose ends within the Oz storyline, but this one doesn't add up unless she was just playing with him.

[@moondivine2288]

It tries to tie it together but, i think they should have considered Wicked is own universe. They tried giving something to the fans of the wizard of Oz. In the book the wicked witch melts from water because she’s so old she doesn’t have any blood in her veins. She isn’t the Wizard’s daughter. The wizard left because of Dorothy not Glenda confronting him. 🤷‍♀️

Wicked isn’t a prequel. It’s more like its separate thing influenced by the characters of another work. Wicked was written by someone else. I doubt the original author meant for the wicked witch to be actually good. In the original stories she only plays a small part and she’s not green.

Agreed. In my opinion, it is not Canon, just one man's desire to explore the nature of Wickedness, as well as how society treats defined norms vs differences. A friend told me about the book long before the musical appeared, but it was after this book that I noticed more and more villain as an abused soul or misunderstood stories being written. Did I only notice because I was finally made aware, or did the original Wicked alter how we interpret characters?
