An enemy is needed to justify victimhood? No no no no. That’s definitely missing the point of this particular story. The wizard wants to use Elphaba, she declines, so she then becomes his enemy. The Wizard needs to ensure Elphaba doesn’t get people to turn against him for what he has unleashed, so he makes HER the enemy. The Wizard and Morrible(sp?) spread misinformation/disinformation about Elphaba. Consequently, and efficiently, “bringing people together.” Have a common enemy? You’re likely to have a common goal. Although the Wizard could claim to be a victim of her refusal, that’d be a rather petty matter (ntm the wizard isn’t one to be all “woe is me.”) But if people have been wronged, they certainly have every right to be heard as a victim, and every right to name their abuser. You can be a victim AND a survivor/fighter; they aren’t mutually exclusive. (Same goes for victim and perpetrator, but obviously there is far more nuance to that.)
I’m not a movie buff so it could be completely normal but it’s kinda odd that they used a different take of the first meeting for this trailer, the other one is so much better anyway
Mark you are hilarious I get more enjoyment out of watching your facial expressions in some of these trailer reviews than the actual trailer itself bloody brilliant 😂I am a wicked fan
Off topic but you seen the critics attacking Joker 2 just the same as they did to the first movie! Almost makes me think it will 100% be amazing if the same critics who attacked the first one are going at this one so aggressively!
Entirely agree … I am fascinated to know what riles them so much about these films … I think it’s to do with a po-faced snobbery around Todd Phillips - he doesn’t fit the film critics idea of an “auteur” - you’re so right - I spoke about it this morning on Coffee Moaning (go check towards the last 10 minutes of the live this morning) … 🍿🙏🎬
@@sawalhaadderleys yes! Very interesting seeing more independent smaller critics supporting the film and more “prestigious” critics from companies having something negative to say🤔I wonder if it’s a collective industry punishment for Joaquin due to the Todd Haynes situation

I almost feel like that’s the cowardly lion that she set free in the woods. (I haven’t seen the musical, idk if that’s known or not already)
Did you notice the use of the original Miss Gulch/Wicked Witch musical theme? You can hear it around 2:04
Nadia’s got good taste because this is one of my favourite musicals and I’ve seen it more than once can’t wait for the film 😊❤❤❤

Watch the movie first,then comment later
There is another trailer which released at the same time for brazil and its way better with so many more clips and newer things we havent seen!
It's an international trailer released outside the USA, not just Brazil, some also has their own dubbed version of that.
