This was a great reaction. What is really profound is that during the ball room scene you kept thinking she was gonna be the villain just like everyone else in her life did. Shows how great she was in this role!!
3:30 so both ariana and cynthia personally insisted on singing on set (there's video of both of them doing so - cynthia was singing while HARNESSED and being flung and flipped around flying for defying gravity, which is insane). and lots of the on set noises (perfume bottles spritzing, footsteps, doors closing, etc) are still in the film. but for the general background singers, they actually used much of the broadway supporting cast for those vocals (with original glinda and elphie having a cameo song in emerald city made for this film, along with the writer of the musical having a cameo(as the guard letting the girls in to meet the wizard)). so not only was this film adapted with lots of love and admiration for the broadway musical, but they also directly involved many of those from the broadway show.
I think the truth behind Glinda is really that she is actually deeply insecure and sad. As soon as someone questions her or ignores her (especially if they are powerful) she will change herself so they will like, see, and praise her. You can see that the best compliment she gets in this film is being called a friend by Elphaba because, let's be honest here, Glinda didn't have any friends before either. She had followers or admirers only. All of this makes her very easy to manipulate because she just wants powerful people to like her, even if she doesn't really agree with them. Hence her staying behind with Madame Morrible and the Wizard
Glinda has never been manipulated dpmo. She CHOSE to stay because she truly believes that’s the right thing to do. She’s literally made to be the embodiment of white feminism & liberalism, who turns around at the end and will get what she deserves
Back in the Disney animated age of the 1990s, the singing voice was different from the voice actor. For example, in Aladdin, Linda Larkin played Jasmine but Lea Salonga was her singing voice (original Broadway lead of Miss Saigon and still performs and acts as she was in a recent production revival of Once on This Island). Unfortunately, Lea Salonga chose to go uncredited It's practices like this in Hollywood that would make a person ask of an actor did their own singing. Because back in the days, it wasn't like that.
I might be tweekin. This is an allegory about how black women are treated specifically. by all people. Look at how Glinda even say s' I guess you're not as powerful as you think you are" as Elphas's power comes into being. An Jon Chu used Michele Chosas an avatar for so called Asian excellence for a reason.
They were roommates. But they became so much more then that. 46:36 “Are people born wicked….. Or did they have wickedness thrust upon them?” -Glinda the Good, “No One Mourns the Wicked”
The name "Elphaba" was Gregory Maguire's nod to the author of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," L. Frank Baum--hence, L-FA-BA. The Broadway play and the movie were both based on Maguire's book, "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." He loved watching the "Wizard of Oz" (we ALL did), but he always wondered about the Wicked Witch, and what her story was--so he wrote about it. The book is very dark, and not at all for children, but it is the basis of the play and movie. At first, Maguire was sorry he had agreed to have them write the play, but he "made his peace" with the decision.
Boy.. you are TERRIBLE with names😮💨 that chat of yours def helps you get facts straight but they also distracting you from important parts of plot. Make sure you give it a second watch, I guarantee you like it more after
As a wicked stand, I genuinely loved your reaction to this movie. It was handled by people who truly cared about the material and I’m happy for it. I loved your real reactions in real time to what was happening and your respect for the true singers that were casted in this film! Arianna is comedic perfection, and Cynthia is the true soul of the film. Your reaction to Defying Gravity at the end is all of us lol I really hope you react to part two coming out later this year because in my opinion, it’s actually even better than part one.!!
I like the fact that you alluded to part of the movie about the "politics" of Elphaba and Glinda. It's the idea of how to effect change in society. Do you join forces with those who have the power and try to incrementally force changes to society or government (Glinda), or do you cut yourself off and say "tear the whole thing down and start over"(Elphaba). This dichotomy has presented itself throughout human history. It also helps us to look at those deemed evil by our society and try to understand why they did/do the things that defined them as "wicked."
Crazy how they say Cynthia was in 2 other things. She been n a lot of movies. She's a great actress and singer. I hate how ppl downplay her when they don't kno
@rellenoz wat do u being blk have to do wit anything? R we required to kno every blk person because we're blk? Leave ur skin color out of it. She's a great actress, blk or not
I love watching people who don’t know anything about Wicked reacting to the movie. And OMG, you really thought she was going to become a villain right until the end! 😅 BTW, Cynthia Erivo is one Oscar from becoming an EGOT (and she already got a couple of Academy Awards nominations for the movie Harriet). She already has a Grammy, an Emmy and a Tony. She hasn’t been in “just 2 other things”… She’s really, really good. So yes, maybe you’ve seen her before. 😉
you definitely need to rewatch the Wizard of Oz to catch up with what happened 😂 but in summary: Dorothy arrives at Oz, Glinda the Good Witch instructs her to follow the yellow brick road to meet the Wizard to get her back home. along the way she meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. in the end, she ends up killing the Wicked Witch (Elphaba) with a bucket of water. the start of this movie shows us Glinda delivering the news and celebrating the death of the Wicked witch.
Lol, bro, you were still pronouncing Ariana's character wrong up until she changed it. You were saying Jahlinda, but it's Gahlinda. Then she changed it to Glenda.
@@crystall.411yeah like 1960s… the only notable contemporary films are: Greatest Showman because the actress can’t sing, and Phantom of the Opera but they had Minnie Driver sing in the comments. But that’s it, more musicals nowadays have people actually singing (even if the person can’t) versus movies back in the 60s
The thing about why Glinda doesn't go with Elphaba is simple, she isn't strong enough. Think about it, for her entire life Glinda has never had to struggle or fight, she has always been the center of attention, that is all she knows. From the beginning (as Galinda) she wasn't intentionally cruel, she was selfish that is true, however her world view was extremely sheltered and narrow. Elphaba on the other hand, from birth had learned to stand up to injustice because she had been ostracized and as a result she did have that strength. It is that difference that causes them to part ways, Glinda is afraid of change because she is terrified of the unknown.
I really enjoyed this reaction :) It's cool watching someone w limited knowledge about the story find out how everything goes down and rooting for the characters. What I'd give to go into this movie blind!!
Man listens to his chat too much. lol. They gave him th wrong names for both characters and believed them even though hearing it and saying it the right way seconds before.
Oh boy - another reactor that hasn't seen Wizard of Oz. When they created Wicked it was assuming you have seen the Wizard of Oz (because there was a time when it was a movie you watched many times in your childhood) and have at least some familiarity with the main points of that film or you are not getting most of what Wicked is doing (or any of the Easter eggs). This musical (and the book it is based on) is a kind of fan fiction in a way - of them imagining that these are the things that were happening before and during the events of the Wizard of Oz. I would watch the Wizard of Oz before part 2 because it will play an even more important part there.
Funny enough, he did watch TWOO in his childhood, he told us on stream before hitting record. He just forgot the big things, like the wizard being a fake cause its been that long
I totally understand. I can't stand when people watch it live on Twitch, etc. It takes away from actually watching it, and more focus is on the chat than the movie. And then end up asking questions that were already answered had they been watching the movie.
@@mooglerific there are a lot of factors that went into my comment. One of the main reasons was because when you talk over someone (in-person or on film) you miss certain key words, elements or phrases that could help someone better understand what is going on, this is the main reason! Has NOTHING to do with him live streaming on Twitch! Has nothing to do with if he live streams on YT! It all goes back to the fact that when you try doing to much at one time, it no longer is a review or a commentary it has become a background entertainment showing!
@ Absolutely! When the movie is over, and your suppose to be discussing final thoughts, you are asking questions already answered by the movie, sometimes many times already! It’s COMPLETELY fine to talk, hold dialogue or even debate, but talking over every single word that is being said is a bit much!!!
Hey I completely respect your opinion but you are going off an edited video so of course it seems like I’m talking over everything. If you want to see the whole thing please go watch it on Patreon and you will be highly pleased as I’m not talking as much as you might think! Again I appreciate your opinion and respect it but i suggest watching it on Patreon and then giving it a full review ! 🫶🏾
This film is definitely ozmazing and deserves all the Ozcars! I will never forget my first experience of seeing the musical and seeing all the beautiful sets and the costume designs, as well as the amazing talented cast. I really connected with Elphaba, so I was so hyped to see this iconic story come to the screen! Ironically the first musical I ever performed was the Wizard of Oz where I played Professor Marvel and the Wizard. And I even got the chance to perform the show again and share the stage with my nephew. I highly recommend you watch the original 1939 film and possibly the stage musical. I can’t wait to see the conclusion in Wicked: For Good. 🪄🫧💖🖤💚✨🧹

I love seeing people experience Cynthia Erivo’s voice for the first time!
For me that was in Bad Times at the El Royale!
Why would Ariana Grande need someone to sing for her?
No reason. I was just curious 😭
Back in the Disney animated age of the 1990s, the singing voice was different from the voice actor. For example, in Aladdin, Linda Larkin played Jasmine but Lea Salonga was her singing voice (original Broadway lead of Miss Saigon and still performs and acts as she was in a recent production revival of Once on This Island).

It's practices like this in Hollywood that would make a person ask of an actor did their own singing. Because back in the days, it wasn't like that.
exactly that's ariana GRANDE
people seem to forget that ariana literally got her start ON BROADWAY as a kid. she’s a classically trained singer.
it's obvious he didn't mean it disrespectfully, people need to calm down
I might be tweekin. This is an allegory about how black women are treated specifically. by all people.

Such goodness!!
Wait, I’m confused. Are they friends?
@@MariaDonkova It’s….complicated. Both in the movie, the musical and the book that the musical and movie are the basis for.
glinda is closer to a sandwich than a witch in terms of actual abilities and powers
I like how you saying Elphaba's name every whichaway 😂
saying everyone's name every which way lmfaoo
every WITCH way … hahaaahhahaha…. yeah sorry

46:37 There are always two sides to every story...
And this is about the Witch of the West’s side.
Correct!
Fun fact: in the wicked books the animals that are able to talk were from a lineage that jumped into a river of fairy pee.
Lol, bro, you were still pronouncing Ariana's character wrong up until she changed it. You were saying Jahlinda, but it's Gahlinda. Then she changed it to Glenda.
Thank you so much for posting! As a Wicked fan I loved seeing your reaction! 💚💖🫧🧹✨️
Dude.......I just finished watching it for the fourth time on the big screen. I'm obsessed with it too. Even have the soundtrack on vinyl.
Did you really ask did the artist Ariana Grande sing her portions?? 😂😂😂
Why did bro asked if Ariana Grande could sing???
A lot of musical movies had other singers dub over their singing voices.
@@crystall.411yeah like 1960s…

Is your vocal track as loud on the patreon version as it is here? I wanna watch the whole thing but the movie sound is so quiet!!

30:35 if only the story ended here lol (an unbelievable amount of stuff happens in the first and second part)

Will do ! I appreciate the feedback!
