Wicked (2024)

>knew
esl homosexual

Can men be women or not? You brought up being irrational.

Answer the question.

It’s a pretty easy question. Why don’t you just be rational and answer it? If you come in here calling everyone who doesn’t like woke globohomosexual shown to children irrational yet you believe men can be women, well that seems like a logical conflict.

and she's half white. So they really put their best foot forward in that one and it still bombed. lmao

Thanks for the blast from the past, grandpa.

>zoomer doesn't know that Whoopi was one of the highest paid actresses for almost a decade
adjusted for inflation, her movies were box office successes, yes. Why does that upset you? Because it doesn't fit your polBlack person nonsense?

>a black woman was one of the highest paid actresses in the 1990’s
Wtf so systematic racism and the female wage gap are both massive myths?!

>I'll just admit I have no idea what I'm talking about
ok?

Are you arguing that Sister Act wasn't successful?

Good, because you already come off as moronic. That would just have been sad.

>She was a successful actress
accordingly to fricking who
b***h was always a forced meme from the jump

This game with you is no matter what blockbuster we list you'll find a meme reason to pretend it doesn't count. You are like a child. Would you define a blockbuster as a movie making twice it's budget? Because that's what it means to normal people.

>zoomer doesn't know anything about Whoopi from the 90s
Look moron, I know. What do you think Sister Act's budget was?

>Sister Act was one of the most financially successful comedies of the early 1990s, grossing $231 million worldwide against a $31 million budget.
Why are you zoomers so over confidently wrong about everything you talk about?

>Sister Act was a blockbuster
Wait, you're right. I now recall the Sister Act collectable cups at McDonalds and a habit clad Whoopi Goldberg adorning bags of Doritos. Lol

>blockbuster just means making a lot of money
Yeah, remember when Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit came out and 7/11 changed some of it's stores to look like churches?

>lol ok so you agree making over 200 million fricking dollars on a 30 million budget would be considered a blockbuster by literally any metric?
No.

James Bond
Terminator
Aliens
Marvel
Sister Act

Lol, you're an idiot.

Iron Man had a budget of around 140 million and grossed 585...Sister Act made a net gross difference of 199 million dollars lol it literally, based on its budget, did better.

>gets so eternally btfo he doesn't even have an argument
Your entire shitty argument is that you can't count Sister Act as a blockbuster, you only do this because Whoopi is black let's be honest anon, and when it's pointed out that the film grossed better than Iron Man, you pivot.

Just stop making dumb arguments.

How am I seething?

>blockbuster just means making a lot of money
yes...moron.

>sounds more like your definition of "blockbuster"
Sounds more like you're disingenuously classifying any film that makes a lot of money as a blockbuster instead of taking culture components into account (e.g. it would be more fair to characterize Sister Act as a surprise hit that over performed which lead to a sequel). All so you don't have to admit that characterizing Whoopi fricking Goldberg as a blockbuster lead is moronic.

You're dumb.

>Barbie
You're arguing with imaginary /misc/tards because you're too dumb to interpret the world outside of simplistic politically loaded bites.

Yes.

>uh also you a troony now!
woah wtf you sure got me! Everything is political specifically from when I graduated high school to now, dontcha know!

>when you lose an argument, before you run away crying and shidding, make sure you call them a troony a thousand times as you weep

>headcanon
lol the thread exists, schizo.

>the entire industry is propaganda and something something Occupy Wallstreet and something something post modernists something something
>making 230 million isn't a blockbuster because...because I said so
>something something trannies

The thread didn't disappear, newfriend. Everyone can read it, do you unironically think you don't appear insane?

>no u
I accept your concession

>making 200 million dollars isn't a blockbuster

>230 million dollars

Everyone here can see you are a poltard, anon. You just keep repeating their soft talking points.

I don't see the world that way, I see this site infested with politically obsessed zoomers like yourself who made politics their entire fricking identity and since there's little to no actual moderation, nobody ever bans you.

Do you think a Cinemaphile board is real life?

>trying this hard to cope

hes' the same twerp sperg posting gaddon and making MC and jazz threads 24/7
ignore him

They were "apolitical" because you weren't fricked by the internet to be hyperpolitical, anon. Media has always been this political, you were just a baby when the movies you liked came out.

That's the reality, newhomosexual. What other stupid thing you going to say? There's Family Matters episode about systematic and institutional racism but you do you, moron. What's next? Roots wasn't political?

It was, you are just a zoomer.
>politics when me a baby: good
>politics when me a zoomer teenager: bad
Just shut the frick up already.

NTA but that's not the reason those movies are apolitical relative to the crap that gets churned out now. The entertainment industry went into full propaganda mode and normal people are turned off by pandering. Simple as.

>everything I dislike is le propaganda
Nice strawman, moron. If you don't think agenda not only influences but drives a significant proportion of mainstream media you're a moron.

Go back to watching Bros, homosexual.

>strawman
You literally said that you fricking aspie moron.
>the entire industry is propaganda
In quoting you, homosexual. Go outside.

>In quoting you
I never said that you absolute moron.

>mode
You left out a key word. I never said the entire industry was propaganda, moron. I was bringing attention to the fact that politically based messaging became more obvious/overt over the last decade. If you have an argument that it didn't feel free to make one. The fact is you're an idiot too dumb for this type of conversation and will simply just pretend I'm a /misc/tard caricature because that's all your pea-sized brain is able to compute. Now cope.

*pieces

>Nice backtracking I guess.
Not reading the rest because you do "guess." You're too moronic to have this conversation and will just regurgitate predictable crap directed to the imaginary /misc/tards that live rent-free in your head.

You have no frame of reference for things before you were born, it's this bizarre fugue state that the Internet has caused, it's a brain rot. Politics has existed for centuries and has been in media since the fricking printing press. To pretend "all of a sudden" things got political, is just ahistorical and shows you are a midwit.

Would you argue that nobody was political before television, anon? Would you say that all of a sudden, just coincidentally when you were growing up, in these last two fricking decades after you left highschool, THEN...and ALL of a SUDDEN everything got political? Just as you started to notice?

>this thing I just made up is "well documented" something something Occupy Wallstreet that hasn't been relevant in a decade

>everything I repeat just so happens to be repeated over and over on /misc/ every hour but I'm different!

>DA AGENDA
It's always this fricking bizzare panic, you can just shut your eyes polhomie, nobody is ever actually forcing you to watch these movies. You just call it "agendas" when you don't like the messaging. It's so exhausting to deal with schizos like yourself, the real world isn't this exciting. Sometimes it's just a movie.

I think that frightens you more, the fact that not everything is a vast ideological conspiracy. I think you have a moral failing.

>tl;dr
I skimmed. Agenda driven doesn't indicate a conspiracy, moron. Stop viewing the world in terms of what you read on Cinemaphile.

>What does that even mean to a normal, well adjusted person who just enjoys movies?
it means we're just not watching it
ughhhh I know I'm just nottttt

just did homosexual
cry about it with another reddit tier beta male diversion tactic

>I'm well adjusted have a nice day
television and film!

Muh woke, noise is the biggest nothingburger you fell for. It's just a meme term for anything political you don't like. It's meaningless. Go seethe at me for a dozen posts about it.

>I'll say another buzzword I was told is le bad but don't actually know...p-post modernism!

I'm saying you just repeat meme words to actual things but you don't actually know what the (thing) is, you just fling it around as "da bad word I can say without an argument" by your handlers. It's exhausting, you all operate the same way.

...I'm clearly explaining that you just change the definition of the word to fit whatever target you have.

>I think you vastly misunderstand how popular just the music from Wicked is, the movie could be trash, but the IP is going to carry this film to a strong box office performance.
They thought that about "Cats", lol.

They swung and they missed. Hard. They should just do a Zaslav and deep six this mess for tax purposes, but they actually paid for a Super Bowl ad. Holy shit, my sides.

>It doesn't have the same marketing pull that Wicked does.
Go check out the reaction videos on YT, lmao.

MCDONALDS!

>is literally blue cgi 9 foot tall space cat person

>zoomer doesn't know that Whoopi was one of the highest paid actresses for almost a decade
adjusted for inflation, her movies were box office successes, yes. Why does that upset you? Because it doesn't fit your polBlack person nonsense?

does that make her less abhorently ugly and talentlesss?

what about it
it's an ensemble flick for morons and she's the 4th lead and shes YET AGAIN wearing colored makeup to keep her palatable

I don't watch basic cable because I'm not an ugly 55 year old grandpahomo

She also says the most moronic things imaginable to give them a good strawman for liberals. My inner Trekkie dies every time I see her and Patrick Stewart spouting nonsense on The View.

She is a shrewd businesswoman indeed. I bet she knows how to negotiate a salary too. But that doesn't change the fact that every day she goes on national television and claims Trump is a dictator and Republicans want to being back fascism.

>tfw she recently called the holocaust 'white on white violence' and had to eat crow for weeks
She was funny in the 90s but a lot of things were better in the 90s.

you're not the target audience for wicked either so what are you on about

>t. gets upset if there's not a transbipoc character 30 seconds into a tv show/movie

I know you are a zoom zoom, but this is like not being alive for Shrek and watching it get an Oscar. Wicked the musical was like the Hamilton of the time, it was fricking huge, it permeated pop culture and was referenced everywhere.

I'm trying to get through your zoomer brain that it wasn't just a musical, it was this big pop culture thing, frick man, it has a Simpsons spoof. Just because you just started posting on television and film, doesn't mean everyone else here doesn't know about television and film

>the musical was one of the biggest Broadway hits in years
Like I said, your knowledge of musical theatre based on The Wizard of Oz outs you as either a homosexual or a lonely autistic female not bright enough to maintain other interests.

Did you know Baum's book was a political allegory reflective of the populist movement prevalent in the US at the turn of the 18th/19th century? Cry about /misc/tards now.

just come out already
this is just sad

>It was the biggest musical in America, you dumb homosexual.
Imagine the lack of self-awareness required to post that. Do you think pic-related will capture the "urban" audience? I think it's a bit zesty.

>talks about being brain dead because of media
>goes on about how some homosexual musical was all over television
Like I said: lack of self-awareness. Lol

>swept at the Tonys

Bud, we are in a thread about the Wicked movie and you got upset that you didn't understand what the source material even was.

It's a movie based on a musical based on a book based on a movie that was based on a book. I made fun of you for sperging about Wicked as if knowledge of it elevates you above non-homosexuals (which you continue to do lol).

To make fun of and laugh at morons like you. Duh.

>this homosexual knows what "swept the Tonys"
>this homosexual knows what the Tonys actually is

I read the book and found it to be bizarre
Expected a ‘misunderstood ugly girl was only forced into the role of ‘wicked’ witch by the evil Stacy who she secretly loved’ but it was actually much harder to follow and seemed like complete nonsense

Shut up about the yellow bricks and ‘red’ slippers, it’s old news!

>Shut up about the yellow bricks and ‘red’ slippers,
The slippers were silver in the book because one of the core policy points of the populist movement was to move the US from a gold to a silver standard.

>all caps
Settle down you insecure homosexual. Try reading more if you don't want to have a meltdown every time you feel stupid.

>didn't stack silver when it dipped at the start of COVID
Maybe your DVD collection will increase in value! Lol

Silver collectors are obviously just people too poor to collect real precious metals

>Maybe your DVD collection will increase in value! Lol
DVDs are increasing in value now that studios are nuking digital libraries and censoring classic episodes of sitcoms.

>Idina
Fricking who? homie, you gay

>Wicked has been a widely known pop culture thing, book and theater, for ages
Maybe for gays

>I think she's wearing white make up
she was white to begin with and literally got daily spray tan treatments to larp brownface to appeal to her mexican fanbase
this is a fact

Ariana's entire brand was jailbait. Considering she's a Hispanic making it almost to 30 was an outstanding run.

Who's more of a moron: a person who assumes a celebrity is a Hispanic or someone who cares enough to investigate the racial background of Ariana Grande? Lol

>it was the girls who, I assure you I've dated, told me that Ariana Grande isn't a spic!
Lol, sure.

>uses my joke
Just when I thought you couldn't be more embarrassing.
