I fucking hate the musical wicked and everything I have heard about the movie makes me hate it even more so.

They fucking plundered the book, which is a piece of art. They stripped it of complexity, forced a romantic relationship between Elphaba and Glinda, and completely disregards the point of the book.

Elphaba and Glinda are not besties, and certainly not lovers, in the book. Their relationship is much more complex than that, and that complexity is integral to the plot.

not obscene, just deeply concerning

i'm neutral on this but i appreciate the take from a fan

(ceterum censeo: that the MS-owned megacorp made the Doom protagonist a predestined better-than-you untouchable celebrity superman with no reference to the original backstory of just a guy who got kicked into the ass end of space for defying unlawful orders is an obvious psyop)

TIL this erasure goes all the way back to Doom 3 (a game that came out the same year Bush was re-elected) https://hero.fandom.co...

@apophis oh hey wait i’ve had those thoughts since forever!! why would you make Doom “I Think We Shouldn’t Be Firing On Civilians Actually” Guy some faceless(metaphorically) demigod who was predestined to shoot demons when a much more interesting, relatable, satirical, and commentative history is right there?

@CorvidCrone what are your thoughts on the movie that’s responsible for TWoOz’s continued cultural relevance?
