Wicked (Part One)

[GNL]

Why aren't there two Elphabas?! A student version would be cute. But no, two Glindas in pink dresses.

Never liked those Funko things anyway

Probably because Ariana Grande has a fanbase who will buy eight variants of any plastic junk with her name on it.

 

[lolly]

I do kind of wish I'd bought the Jink Monsoon one a couple of years ago.

Although not enough to actually buy one from eBay.

 

[dUb]

WELL yes re Ariana but they'll make Funko Pops of anything so an additional Elphaba can't be too much hassle

I just don't like how uneven it is

 

[Joseph]

Sadly Black characters don’t sell as well as white characters aka racism

 

[GNL]

But she's GREEN.

 

[GNL]

I hope that's not a spoiler.

SPOILERS!

 

[funky]

Clearly there are a LOT of psychopaths about

I'm AGOG at the number of shops that sell them, and hundreds (if not thousands) they all seem to stock.

I haven’t been into a HMV in a while but I feel like half of the store these days is funko dolls

Not sure about Cynthia's expression there

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Yeah, where is the SMIRK!?

 

[dUb]

She looks ELDERLY and BEMUSED

We have an OPT UP at the end of No One Mourns

 

[Christian]

Another opt up



Same old riff though

 

[GNL]

What a tuneful dildo.

 

[Christian]

I don’t even know what it’s supposed to be.

 

[Christian]

One month today to the LA premiere

 

[Ellie]

I don’t even know what it’s supposed to be.

Some kind of karaoke mic I think.

Anyway, already planning the IMAX visit on the first day, dressed all in green probably amongst people half my age.

 

[Christian]

The sheer volume of TAT MERCH for this film is mind blowing

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Another opt up



Same old riff though

She should do the 'Bring Me Down' OPT DOWN if she wants points from the ZG jury.

The opt up and the over-riffing aren't working for me. And is the tempo weird too? It sounds more meandering than the stage soundtrack version to me

 

[funky]

I just want to remind everyone that this is a movie not a theatre musical and if I read any negatives based on comparisons I will start getting angry

Well, surely since it is screen and not stage, then it should be LESS, not MORE, since you aren't also playing to the back of the gods.

This whole soundtrack is just going to be exhausting riffs isn't it.

I was actually just referring to dub’s analysis of the ad

I hadn’t quite reached YOUR post

Well it is WICKED not THE KING AND I

 

[funky]

I sort of agree on the over egged vocals

That’s the last negative comment though

Until the next one

 

[dUb]

That Barnes & Noble exclusive looks nice

 

[dUb]

I'm a bit sick of all this now actually

 

[Pingu]

Well it is WICKED not THE KING AND I

Yes and THANK GOD for that because it does have plenty else going for it besides the playing to the cultish screaming musical theatre sorts.

 

[dUb]

The BUZZ BUILDS!

 

[Christian]

New trailer out now which mashes all the songs up together

Popular sounds a bit LIMP
