      I quite enjoyed Furiosa.....when it was on cable lol. I did not contribute to the box office, nor am I adding it to my Mad Max collection. Its not a Mad Max movie. Hes not even referenced in it past the title. He didnt even walk by as a Cameo....in a movie with his own name on it. Its not just Furiosa. Its Mad Max: Furiosa
      Is it really that big a mystery why it failed?

    "Cynthia Erivo just ruined Wicked for me." said most of the Wicked fans recently. Her twitter rant, against a fan's genuine artistic tribute, went over like a wet fart in a church. The reason? Because she thinks everything is just about her. The rant has put a pall over the movie and many people will lose money and goodwill because of her rampant narcissism.

      I have wonderful memories of sharing the books with my mother, seeing the musical with my best friend, and listening to the CD during my commute. Loved the Wizard of Oz since I first read L. Frank Baum's originals and saw Judy Garland's MGM version on tv as a child, and have seen many of the associated films/series, like Tin Man, The Wiz, Return to Oz, Oz the Great and Powerful, etc. I'm not going to see this movie, or next year's sequel, which should have been the second book "Son of a Witch" by McGuire, and not part two of Wicked because of useless filler. The vitriol from Cynthia Erivo has ruined any excitement I had for it. ☹

      Errivo grew up in Stockwell, not exactly known as a den of privilege.
      She grew up in a broken home as her parents divorced when she was young.
      And using a well known oreo as your source for any profound statements shows you have no idea what actual privilege is.

    It's ironic that Ariana Grande is the least "toxic" one involved here.

One selfish person being a narcissist and all of that hard work is diminished and for nothing.

    Erivo's long been known for these kinds of things. Her first big faux pas was probably in 2017, when she freaked out over someone's innocent fancast for a potential live action remake of Disney's Hercules. She'd been fancast as one of the Muses, and she was offended at the thought someone would think she'd be in a small ensemble role. Mind, fancasts for the Muses have included big stars like Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson, so it was hardly an insult. I saw a post by someone who knew her, saying that her ego had gotten out of control after she won a Tony in 2016.

It does not always go so well as Andre mentioned the bloatware that was The Hobbit trilogy and Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning has dropped the Part One from the title as they now believe that actually harmed the movie. Wicked was great as it was, and they should have left well enough alone. TBH, the movie is probably 10 years too late to really have caught the big wave of the musical and given the original stars the chance to resume their characters. The studio should tell Erivo to shut up or else. There is language in her contract should she say or do something to harm the movie. Time to CGI her out and replace with an animated Elphelba!

Case in point the troublesome actress. She is apparently some huge Broadway Star. Normies don’t know who she is. Nobody is buying movie tickets based on her. Maybe if they had gotten Idina Menzel? Barbie worked because Barbie is a shared multigenerational experience among women. In the way Star Wars used to be for men. Wicked?
