Ah, that's what they said about tiny little Bruce Lee.. Sometimes size and resultant loss of speed has disadvantages, as Lee proved against much larger opponents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuLsilXrK08
The pink lady could've given Dorothy the knowledge she needed to get home at the very beginning of the film.
But she didn't give it to her for hours and walking miles.
Look she may have been a little tiny bit bitchy, but the Witch of the West was a fucking girlboss and if you don't respect that then please don't tell me because I will be very mildly upset at your willful obtuseness and might feel bad for a few minutes
Then only believe 1/2 what your told and research 🤔💛 can't wait to see it. It's already pirated, wtf? I'm gonna see it on the BIGscreen 😊. I vote Green!
Okay, maybe. But why would she? Are you saying that Elphaba should resort to physical violence, rather than using her wits?
The whole point of the movie/musical/book is that she wins over Galinda during their time at University. She defeats her with her intelligence, not fists.
I mean, the pink lady weighs about 105 pounds. Saw it with the lady and kids. I hate musicals but it kinda grew on me. Especially the world they created and Jeff Goldblum going full Jeff Goldblum. All in all, it's a worthy successor to Wizard of Oz which is high praise.
If I remember the lore, the green person gets really into crypto, heroin production(poppy fields) and Flying Monkey NFTs and just collapses the entire economy.
Good. Glad you did.
For me the story was too drawn out and made the experience a bit like the curates egg.
Mind you, the technology behind its production must’ve been cutting edge.
Read.
The.
Book.
Elphaba HAS A MAN. Glinda changed her name in memory of their teacher who was MURDERED.
The wizard was Elphabas father. The elixer that made her mum pass out also made her green. This realization gives him a heart attack.
Her entire life was fucking cruel. It was not “cute.”
FAY
I'm also a fan of the book, but you have to acknowledge that the musical is loosely based on the book and that's it. They are not the same. I wish the show was more like the book in some ways too but we just gotta accept that it is the way it is. The show is still wonderful in its own right.
I just watched movie Maria (Callas). It was good. Wicked has a winner in Gravity, but that was about it for me. Both movies are better served when you read up on them beforehand.
This is a problem I've noticed for decades - why does every interaction (particularly women) have to be a 'death match'?
"No More Tears", back in the day, was A DUET!! Why does everyone jump on the "Summer slayed Streisand"? A duet is meant as cooperation, not competition.
My money's on the monkeys. The flying monkeys. They could swoop down, do a flying monkey thing on both of them and be gone before the wiz gets a broom out.
If Galinda doesn't have a sister (it was Glinda in the film?) Who is the green one. The references above inficste she's the Ww of the West from the film. I take it that's wrong? Not seen it btw.
Years later the “good witch” uses Dorothy to destabilize the political climate of Oz to come out on top. Last witch standing wins. Dorothy could have clicked her heels to go home as soon as she got them. The “good witch” knew it, but she had rivals to get rid of 1st.
Alternate perspective is that pink lady, because she is rich and the favorite of them all, she probably had some martial arts training as one of her many extra curriculum that rich people do just because they can.
I haven’t seen the movie. But I did see the musical twice. Personally, I like the musical better but I also read the book probably 20 years ago so I don’t remember it as much. But I do remember it was good…

I refuse to deviate. #no
#greatmovie though.
But #no #no #no
Seems she's more of a lover turned fighter to protect others. She COULD but WOULD she?

ENOUGH!
What a world, what a world..
Much like men in America today, they get the short end of the stick :(
I loved every minute of it.

You are so right
I’m glad old girl got the break of a lifetime, but somethings seen, can never be unseen

Oooops, wrong show. Never mind..
Are some people saying otherwise?
No I live in Australia
Gotta force those concentration checks.
This would be a fun AU. But even given options, pink gal would not even try to learn. She is vapid and lazy.
Much couragosity
The movie essentially showed us this too. But you gotta pay close attention.
And, yes, Elphaba could kick the living daylights out of Galinda. She could beat Galinda to death with hair if came right down to it,
Gravity something.
