Wicked is the villian origin movie that we were hoping Star Wars Episode I would be

remember the posters for Episode I, when we all thought we would see the character development and learn to understand and even empathize with pure evil? The movie Wicked pulled that off.

What?!

Wicked is a story about how propaganda and political manipulation can make someone who is trying to do good look like the bad guy.

It’s about not trusting what you are told just because of who is telling you.

Elphaba never actually (intentionally) does harm to anyone.

Compare that with Darth V. How many thousands of lives has he intentionally taken by the end of his life?

Yeah I had that poster on my wall, almost a year before the movie launched I believe.

Haven't seen Wicked yet, good to know it's worth it!

its obviously geared towards pre-teen girls, so you'll have to forgive some but if you stick with it, it'll win you over.

I'm guessing there's a good chance you'd love it, but I haven't seen the movie yet.
