Fans customized the Wicked movie poster to more closely match the original Broadway poster.

Original Broadway Poster:

Movie poster:

Some fans, disappointed by the poster, altered it to be closer to the original, moving Grande’s hand and lowering the brim of Erivo’s hat to cover her eyes. The edits prompted Erivo to respond. “This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen

“None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo continued. “The original poster is an ILLUSTRATION. I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes.”

So, this seems like a completely reasonable reaction to fans making fan content.

    you’re cowering behind false quotations again.

    look how dedicated you are at proving you don’t care.

    “I’m really, deep down, invested in this topic”

    I can tell, sport.

      Please, continue to project what I should be thinking and saying. I don’t even have to do anything here; you’re essentially arguing with a straw man. Keep it up, you’re doing great!

        you should keep trying out those irrelevant buzzwords until you get lucky and use one of them correctly.

        “I don’t even have to do anything here”

        If you didn’t, you would be having roughly the same effect you are now while struggling.

          I have no idea what your nonsensical post is even saying. You’ve gone so far into the weeds of trying to attack me you’re not making sense. Wanna take another stab at it?

            “I have no idea what your nonsensical post is even saying”

            you have been confused since you attempted your first response.

            Don’t worry about it.

            “you’re not making sens”

            or you’re still confused about very simple, direct concepts.

              Nah, I’m not confused about direct concepts. Still waiting for you to make one that is rational, though. Feel free to continue making insane rants and propping up strawmen though.

              Like I said, I’ll keep responding until you’re done. Keep going as long as you like.

                “I’m not confused about direct concepts”

                …proceeds to explain that you don’t understand direct concepts

                “waiting for you to make one that is rational”

                which concepts are confusing you?

                smiling doesn’t seem as difficult as as you’re making it out to be.

                neither is having feelings, which apparently outrages and perplexes you.

                any other brain busters you can’t wrap your mind around?

                  Yeah, I think you’re missing the thread of the conversation here, but again you’re… And I mean this sincerely, SOLID on creating strawmen. Like, it’s amazing how good you are at that.

                    “…SOLID on creating strawmen.”

                    1. you are using that buzzword incorrectly.

                    2. I hope you understand that make-believing I’m creating “strawmen” doesn’t stop anyone from scrolling up and seeing that you’re playing pretend.

                    your comments are being recorded as you post them.

                    when you claim you’re not invested in what I have to say and don’t care what I think, then eagerly persist in messaging me over and over, thirsting for my take?

                    anyone can just scroll up and witness ypur compulsion.

                    of course, you do seem very confused about a lot of direct concepts, so maybe you’re also confused about how posting works.
