Fans customized the Wicked movie poster to more closely match the 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.
I have never given the slightest fuck about the real person behind any of the characters I’ve watched, nor have I cared to portray the real me in any role I’ve acted.
It’s a fucking mask. Fuck the person behind it. Acting is not for expressing the self.
“I have never given the slightest fuck about the real person…”
mmhmmm.
“nor have I cared to portray the real me in any role I’ve acted”
can’t imagine why.
“Fuck the person behind it.”
oh, that’s probably why.
“Acting is not for expressing the self.”
yes, yesss, that’s why all actors are interchangeable and you’ll never get different performances from any of them.
That’s why studios don’t make remakes.
well!
other people have been dehumanizing in this post, but you are the most blatantly sociopathic.
