      Usually the bad person in woke movies is an old rich white guy... So I'm guessing the green/black wicked witch turns out being the hero/anti hero... And the munchkins either don't exist or are just "magical creatures" now... The old white wizard turns out to be the bad guy and gets shamed by the wicked witch and Dorothy for his toxic masculinity and the scare crow, tin man, and lion are all gender and race swapped now. Can't wait! 😅😂. Oh and the flying monkeys will be replaced with flying old rich white guys.

      Its amazing in almost EVERY movie and TV show these days , in every. single. scene. they pack in this mega diverified cast of extras who would never be together. Everything looks the same. So sterile and dead. Art is dead. From mountain towns, to secluded islands, to honestly just every setting, every race and color on earth HAS to be shown for the DEI overlords. It pulls you right out of the show. Pandering pandering pandering.
      It looks sooo damn fake because nothing on earth looks like this except maybe Times Square on lunch hour.
      Again Art is dead.
      Try telling Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Michelangelo, da Vinci, Hemmingway, Keats, Melville, Tolkien, Tolstoy, Shakespeare, the great filmmakers in history, that their works must be DEI approved.
      That they must contain their stories and vision and arts to representation and skin color and what people do with their groins. Never. They embodied true art, the true passion
      of the human heart and human spirit. The people above could NEVER be contained. Their creativity exploded to gift us with wonders. Todays creativity is put into a DEI box
      and gifts us woke shit to gag on.
      Woke Hollywood, music, gaming, comics, board games, card games? They are dead. They are sterile. They are NOT art. They are DEI propaganda pieces
      to erase white people, their history, culture, myths, legends, fairy tales, and in time as we see at our USA border and all across Europe - White people themselves.
      There is power behind this. Power and BIG money and influence.

      This is a very popular Broadway musical adapted to film. Oz is not a villain, no actually he’s the wicked witches’ father and there’s a touching reunion between them. Because in this one the witch isn’t evil. It’s actually a really good musical of its own merit. I don’t expect this movie to be good at all with these terrible casting choices, I’m just trying to provide context.

    I believe it's important to take a moment to express gratitude for the significant contributions made by members of the melanin community to our society. Their peaceful and altruistic disposition makes them exemplary neighbors, showcasing their strong family values and exceptional parenting abilities that stand out among various cultures. Their approach to raising children, combined with their unmatched work ethic, sets a standard that is unparalleled. Their ability to approach situations with reason and logic, coupled with their natural talent for de-escalation, is admirable and something to aspire to. Their dedication to academic achievement not only enhances our educational institutions but also serves as a model for anyone striving for success. The presence of African-Americans in a neighborhood enhances real estate values due to the nurturing and respectful environment they create, a testament to their commitment to self-improvement, hard work, and independence. As a nation, we would undoubtedly be lesser without their industrious spirit and innovative drive.

    Can't we just leave what's already perfect alone? I saw the musical in London when I was about 12, and it blew me away because people had gotten together and poured everything into making it the best show they could, no cgi, no green screens, no inorganically inserted politics, nothing, just raw talent real sets, real music and real voices, and it actually did tell a story of discrimination, told in a way that made sense to the world in which it is told. This will be tacky, overloaded with headachey special effects, and the singing will be cringe and auto-tuned. I'm also guessing that they're going to do away with Elphaba's romantic subplot, for the usual litany of reasons that they give for those sorts of decisions, or they'll keep it, but make Fiyero a boneless, gutless wimp who fawns over her and does whatever she says.

    You know, I think Wicked was the one that started this "Villains are the heros" Trend. First it came out as a book, then someone in broadway used it to push modern politics in the form of music. Then they did a Jafar musical, one of the songs in the broadway has the "Im a woman and they cant keep me down" prelude to Frozen and Aladdin, then they made Maleficent, then Cruella. It's the patient zero of modern culture. Ironicly the book turns it so everyone else is to blame but the witch. And in the musical, the reason she is green is because her parents get freaky while drinking questionable green alcohol and her younger sister is wheelchair bound. Perhaps nobody cared because pandering had not done well before it. (This is coming from a person whose mom and sister loved it so much anytime the car was driving, Wicked was playing.)

    I hated the original Wicked. Outside of the music, the story was utter ass. Trying to make the Wicked Witch of the West sympathetic and misunderstood was beyond stupid to me (that, along with making the Scarecrow a cursed prince that also happened to be the Witch's former lover). Nothing about the original character warranted it, nor did she come off nor was it written as some misunderstood character. She was straight up evil, and that's made her character enjoyable. Disney tried to do the same with Maleficent in their live-action movies, which were also just as stupid for the same reasons. Not every bad guy is suited for the symathetic and misunderstood angle. Some bad guys are just more enjoyable and work better just being straight up bad and nothing else. Whether that's the original Wicked Witch, the original animated Maleficent, Palpatine from Star Wars, Voldemort from Harry Potter, or even Jack Horner from Puss & Boots.
