-and I really dislike Cynthia Eribo's voice- certainly not after the first 10,000 times I heard her song in commercials and everything else. Not to mention that green makeup gives me the creeps--far more than the original used on Margaret Hamilton in the movie. Ariana is so desperate to come off as likeable with extreme facial expressions and almost painful smiles that it just makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Her voice doesn't cause me as much reaction, but, admittedly, I'm not a fan of her singing much either.
I admit some bias because I inherited originals of every L. Frank Baum book in the collection and read them (or had them read to me) as a very young child, and don't really like the expropriation used by these movies--that divert so much from the original, but that is just me... Still, I had no problem with the Broadway musicals, so it is something about these movies that incite my disdain.
So, I know having let the box "open," all the WICKED OTT fans will want to banish me from the earth, but that is how I feel. I do not intend to do more than run to grab the remote when promos come on--certainly not to see the latest "greatest" Wicked movie.
