I’m aware of the url mishap with the dolls and vaguely aware of the poster controversy but I’ve also seen people online call it a PR disaster and I’m entirely out of the loop on that

    Agree with this - the fan just trying to make the movie poster imitate the older poster.

    But I can see where the actress is coming from as well - these feelings are almost certainly part of the reason why the original movie poster from the studio decided to show the full faces of the actresses instead of imitating the 2003 poster in a more direct homage. It’s a tricky balance, but at the same time it’s hard to blame the fan for wanting to celebrate Wicked in art.

      What gets me is that the reason they changed was to “communicate”, but her expression is essentially blank. What’s being communicated? If anything it’s far less expressive than the wry knowing smile.
