WICKED (2024) FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION AND COMMENTARY

[@MarinaEvans-s5t]

As a theater kid that saw it in the theaters I did in fact levitate when defying gravity started playing.

[@ReelReviewHQ]

Love this!! 😂

[@kat-5432]

For me it was Dancing Through Life, I was a theater kid but focused on dance and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time it was such a great number. The spinning library, and just all the choreo, I can’t get over it still!

[@melissacreel4719]

As emotional as Defying Gravity is in the movie, it's even more so in the stage production. There is a song in part 2 (stage) "No good deeds go unpunished". It is also so amazing. Can't wait for that one.

[@vesco.f]

Wish I could’ve witnessed the levitation!!

[@ebonyjefferson4697]

I hear a lot of people make the comment of “would a green person be that shocking in a world with talking animals” but we only say that because talking animals is abnormal or unheard of in our world. In their world a talking lion or goat is as common as a pet dog, so yes, a green person would be shocking.

[@SKWrites-14]

I think the point is that racism doesn't make any sense, and the intention of the musical is to get people to point out how much it doesn't make sense. It's easy to see it in a movie, and one would hope it makes people think about their own prejudices. If an alien came down to Earth, they'd wonder why we kill other people for their land or exploit and oppress others based on skin color. I'd hope they wouldn't think, well, it's understandable.

[@iaaftltbfbbdildsm]

Exactly my point!

[@zammich3649]

It's very normal in our world for people to keep an animal like a dog, cat, a snake, or a fish or something as a pet, but if you saw somebody outside walking a snakedog or a cat with fins on a leash, you'd be pretty taken aback. It'd already be a big enough shock to see somebody walking a perfectly normal alligator, platypus, emu, or giant clam around town, and those animals all exist in the world with much greater numbers than people who are naturally green.

[@jijitters]

​@@SKWrites-14 Both of you are 100% correct. The thesis posits both "we only think this is abnormal because we were born into a society where it doesn't exist" and additionally (as well acting as a conclusion), "isn't it so silly to think of her as odd for something as trivial as skin tone in a world where people are different in so many other ways?"

[@zoephotoart]

Not to mention lots of races are common in our world and yet there was/is still severe racism anyway.

[@4brtndr1]

Shiz is just a school that happens to offer a course in sorcery. It isnt a school for magic like Hogwarts. Just a university.

[@rafaella9700]

Didn't Galinda said she wanted to mayor in Sorcery? That's More thank just a course

[@scottc5716]

@@rafaella9700Sorcery is a course offered at Shiz, but Madame Morrible only teaches it when someone with genuine magic comes along. Galinda wants to learn magic by majoring in it but Morrible doesn’t believe she has any potential, whereas Elphaba has exceptionally strong natural-born magic.

[@smiley353]

SO much happens in part two...if you can try to avoid spoilers, I would. Part two is going to be INSANE.

[@ReelReviewHQ]

Stoked! We had a blast watching this one!!

[@LeafyMilkTea]

I just want y’all to know that I appreciate how compassionate you are in these videos. It’s so refreshing to see nice people! This is definitely my favorite channel on KZbin 🫶🏻

[@ReelReviewHQ]

That is so kind, We are beyond glad that you are enjoying the vids :)

[@ryanhill-x5i]

hey I’m Ryan I have a movie request Austin powers international man of mystery and if you can wear ladies leather gloves for the movie

[@ryanhill-x5i]

so can you please do this request for me please

[@smiley353]

Love this! Something to think about with the dance- it looks weird when Elphaba does it alone, because it's supposed to be a duet. She's never had anyone to dance with before, so she only knows her side. Once Glinda comes in, it makes more sense

[@Hey_Jamie]

Also the train! It’s an actual working train built and that’s insane to me

[@ZakEdwards]

Also, regarding the dance: Elphaba was mostly raised by animals. I’m pretty confident that Christopher Scott purposely made choreography that looks more like an animal dancing than a human because that’s Elphaba’s frame of reference.

[@RubyMadigan]

50:34 this whole sequence is full of cameos. The wise ones are played by the original Broadway Elphaba and Glinda (Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth). Then the woman who says 'he can read it he must be a wizard' is Winnie Holzman who wrote the book for the musical and co-wrote the movie. Then finally the guy who says 'the wizard will see you now' is Stephen Schwartz who wrote the music

[@aimeeparrott9204]

I read that all the people in the chorus were former Wicked cast members from Broadway & touring companies.

[@chrissystudiesx3]

The intro gave me the whimsy chills! edit: “Your eyes smell amazing” 😂😭

[@ReelReviewHQ]

Yasssss!!!!!

[@TheIrishKat]

I love that elphabas cape toss is her hair flip power move 😊

[@ReelReviewHQ]

Woah!! Didn’t notice that! Good catch!

[@johnmoreland6089]

And that both the hat and the cape were given to her by Glinda.

[@JoaoPedro-dm3pb]

this is quickly becoming one of my favorite reaction channels i love their commentary, editing and that the videos are nice and long

[@ReelReviewHQ]

Wow, thank you!😊

[@Hey_Jamie]

All of this yes!

[@iaaftltbfbbdildsm]

Louder!!!

[@jaysax7381]

Let us be glad, let us be grateful, let us rejoicify that y’all are reacting to wicked

[@hothotheat3000]

I absolutely wept when Elphaba was hauling ass across the sky and belting TELL THEM HOW IIIIIIII AM DEFYYYYYYYYYYING GRAVITY. It’s powerful on stage, but to see her truly flying was something I’ve wanted since I was a kid. Such a beautiful moment. Cynthia is amazing.

[@rosssims7224]

Most of us were shedding a few tears during the Ozdust Ballroom scene and yall were being so unserious lmaoo

[@ThePonderer]

56:35 it makes sense the Wizard would target the animals. For one, a human would be more inclined to depersonalize non-humanoid figures, even if they do talk, and for two the guy has a circus background. Animal cruelty was part and parcel with his profession.

[@booknerd_charlie]

Exactly. He came from our world (notice what he’s chanting when he pretends to read the Grimerie), where talking animals are not part of society and animal cruelty is more prevalent. Throughout his regime, he introduces aspects of our society and technology into Oz. It helps him fool the citizens into thinking he’s a wizard and it allows him to slowly shape Oz society into his vision. When he needs to find a convenient scapegoat, he first uses the Animals, then eventually finds effective ways to use propaganda to make Elphaba public enemy #1

[@drudle]

And the Wizard is from Omaha, Nebraska. He's used to not only circus life but also farming. No doubt the majority of his views on animals are that they can, and should only, be used as disposable tools. Talking animals teaching poetry ain't it for him.

[@Hey_Jamie]

12:14 the wardrobe department did such an amazing job because they made even the most unconventional looking outfits feel like clothes and not costumes. They killed it.

[@ReelReviewHQ]

Completely!

[@yeetsoo7565]

you guys are hilarious!! i laughed out loud so many times during this

[@stefaniefreeman7541]

Now that you've seen the whole first half, go watch galindas face in the first number again. You can see the sadness

[@GetWellSoonR.E.M.]

Elphaba falling from the tower, seeing her child self, reaching for her as if to say “I finally choose to live for you”, then soaring back to the top never fails to make me ugly cry. It’s such a powerful moment. After everything she had been told her entire life and (literally and metaphorically) falling into despair; she finally chose to put herself first and deny their hatred.

[@SubKween]

No one has Rizz like Jonathan Bailey. He has everyone smitten. There are weird (and slightly offensive) memes of women lamenting how they could never be his cause Jonny is gay. 27:22

[@dennis.kerkhofs86]

I'm really holding space for this reaction video!! 👏🏼💚🩷

[@katie8881]

The best friendship between Elphaba and Glinda is iconic. It could have been so easy to rip them apart in a tropey way but the fact that their paths diverged (for not trivial reasons) but they still wish each other nothing but the best is more relatable. So many of the girls in high school adored this musical (my sister and I included) and it's not hard to see why. Cynthia and Ariana did the story a world of justice by continuing that spirit irl. You know the press would have LOVED to dig up and blow out of proportion some meaningless drama but they were a unit. Ariana said they even discussed their contracts together so they were equal and on the same page. I love that.

[@ThePonderer]

13:00 Elphaba’s very understated attitude in the movie is one of the things which I much prefer to the play. On stage, Elphaba is usually played a lot more loud, harsh and abrasive. She’s much less endearing as a result imo.

[@JURNS03]

This is my first video to your channel and I really enjoy your energy. Keep it up ❤

[@ThePonderer]

49:50 there’s a deleted scene that makes it clear the train ride was muuuuuuch longer.

People in Oz would think the way we speak would be odd.

[@philipholder5600]

I hate to keep commenting. But how do you know what's going on if you keep talking? Pay attention. To the words in songs, and dialog. You miss plot points.

[@ulricaandrae4381]

I guess they never had a reason to use cages and definitively not for animals who were their equal. But as per usual, there are people who think they should be masters of the universe.

[@philipholder5600]

In OZ people are used to talking animals. But only Elphaba is green,so she is strange to them.

[@ArthurLacerda-k4b]

0:28 the fact that Cynthia had the same broom for her audition to play Elphaba 😂

[@paigenewvine340]

Been waiting for this to drop! I love the takes you two have! I remember being nervous about Ariana being cast as Galinda, but she and everyone else blew me away with their performances

[@ReelReviewHQ]

She ended up being our favorite part of this, she’s hilarious!! 😂

wicked reaction out: 🎶GOOD NEWS!! 🎶

[@Dark0yoshe]

I'd heard the cast album of Wicked, but I had never seen the Broadway musical. So I didn't know what to expect when I went to see the movie. The opening number was awesome, the sets were cool, and Ariana looked so happy to be in this movie. But when Cynthia sang, "And I'll stand up with the wizard," in the song, the wizard and I, I was totally spellbound. Excuse the pun. Cynthia Erivo opened that full-throated belt, and I clutched my pearls. I knew right then and there that this movie was amazing!

[@sammorales8152]

you guys should watch “everything everywhere all at once” it’s super good, won best picture and is currently the most awarded movie of all time. it’s rlly good

[@ambersmith1018]

SO READY!! I feel like you guys will love this one. I saw Wicked on stage when I was like 14 and it made me fall in love with theater

[@barndav]

I really enjoy you guys reactions. I’ve watched several reaction videos to Wicked, you guys are the only ones to make the connection to the original Wizard of Oz when the witch put Dorothy to sleep in the poppy field, and Elphaba putting the class to sleep in the classroom.

[@dlweiss]

Re: your question about why Elphaba never considered her powers might be a "good thing" until arriving at Shiz - I think you maybe underestimate just how overwhelmingly influential a parent's mindset and attitude can be. It's clear that her father viewed her powers as an unambiguously BAD thing since the moment she was born - and took every opportunity to scold her and make her feel ashamed of them whenever they were used. Between that constant negative discouragement, her sister's embarrassment, and the bullying from other children, it's entirely possible that Madam Morrible was literally the FIRST person to ever frame her powers in a positive light. So even though it seems obvious to US that her powers aren't inherently evil, we're benefitting from an outside perspective. After all, think about all the kids in the real world who are made to feel ashamed of their natural talents and inclinations, all because their parents/environment viewed them negatively. Great reactions and discussion! :)

[@thegirlwholovesmusic]

I have had a hellish week between a family emergency, sick pup, insane workload, Covid, and LA fire evacuations. Not for pity, just context… just sat down to lunch and saw this. The relief I felt knowing I have an hour to laugh and cry with you guys, is so appreciated. Thanks homies.

[@saritatee3322]

Y’all had me smiling from ear to ear, love your commentary and prim/proper accent haha. 💚

[@Shritistrang]

I actually think that, beginning from when Fiyero starts singing in the library, up to the dance between Galinda and Elphaba, it has been one singular, long musical number with short speaking pauses, instead of multiple small ones.

[@aroisnice]

the quietness is what makes the Ozdust duet so special 😢

I couldn't stop laughing at the fake British accent of the two of you lol 25:45 😂

[@lillianbarbieri7771]

This movie is freaking incredible. It had a tough job to adap a musical so beloved and a classic with so many iconic songs and performances through the years and they made it work. Not only it respect the original, keeping all the major plot points but it also claims it as its own in a lot of moments. It is quite impressive that this is part one, has the same lengh as the entire musical piece and yet you don't feel it drag or makes it weird by adding unecessary things. Arina was a big surprise in this. Her comedic moments are amazing and stole the show for me. Both her and Cinthia were awesome but all the cast in this did amazing. Very excited for part 2. Your intros are always incredible. Love the reactions

Very few people have witch powers. Not everyone. This is a regular university not a school of wizard ry and magic.

[@SeeJay81]

Talking animals is just a regular thing that they see everyday so it's not weird to the Ozians, but a green person has never been seen before so they all freak out. The only person in the movie who would think talking animals is weird is the Wizard since he comes from Earth (Omaha), so that's why they're an easy target to him. The talking animals are the only friends Elpheba has ever had her entire life so she probably feels a sense of duty and loyalty to save them.

I loved this movie so much, in the beginning when we see the glimpse of the dance you can see how that resonates with Galinda, and they said when she sings in a high tone she's being insincere..the first song about being happy that Elphaba is dead she sang the highest tone, and her facial expressions of pain and sadness. Also how Galinda’s smiles when she’s starts telling the story sharing her memories. The cape was basically Elphaba's hair toss. And at the end when the guards are singing "look at her she's wicked k*ll her" Galinda sings "I hope your happy" and how Elphaba flys into the light and Galinda walks into the darkness. It makes me sad that for both woman they where each others first true friend.

Fun reaction, guys! Just going to express how disappointed I am that John Chu was not nominated for Best Director at the Oscars. This was a MASSIVE undertaking, and he made a movie that moved, then soared. A 2 hour and 45 minute film that flies by. Every person I know who has seen it, and every reactor who has reacted to it, has really liked or loved it, even the ones who don't normally like musicals. That's almost unheard of.

[@Drewski217]

Great reaction!! If you rewatch the beginning after seeing the movie all the way through you can tell that Glinda's balancing her own heartache about Elphaba's death with her/Glinda's having to keep a public perception of being against her. For the Munchinlanders it's 'no one mourns the wicked' but in Glinda's case it's 'No, *one* mourns the wicked'

[@KayP23DoReMi]

Had to pause to answer your question... Hell yes, those nails get in the way! 😂 I had them for a few months and gave up. They were over and inch long, which is short on the grand scheme of claw-like nails. Everything from typing to wiping (yes, you read that correctly) was more difficult and, on some occasions, painful. I still have long nails, but don't let them get more than 1/2 inch. Cynthia Erivo rocks some elegant claws IRL. Some can't, some can. I just couldn't. 😂

Don’t forget - before Dorothy kills Elphaba she has to drop a house on her baby sister.
