Wicked fans outraged over deleted Elphaba and Glinda scene

BBG News

As a long-time fan of musicals and Wicked being one of my all-time favorites, I was utterly dismayed to find out that some crucial scenes were missing from the digital release. The emotional exchange between Glinda and Elphaba was particularly heart-wrenching and added depth to their friendship that I felt was sorely lacking in the final cut.

The scene where Glinda struggles with magic and Elphaba consoles her, explaining that things have been easy for her, resonated with me on a personal level. I’ve always felt like I had it all figured out, but there are times when I realize that I need to dig deeper and find the strength within myself to overcome obstacles. This scene showed how even someone as seemingly perfect as Glinda can struggle and how Elphaba, despite her flaws, could empathize with her friend and offer support.

The moment where Glinda promises to help Elphaba if she ever needed it was a turning point in their relationship for me. It demonstrated that Glinda was capable of growth and change, which is an important message for any audience member. I also appreciated the apology and promise from Elphaba not to leave Glinda behind again. This scene showed that even though they had their differences, they were still bound by a deep friendship that transcended their initial animosity.

Overall, I believe that these deleted scenes added richness and complexity to the story of Wicked. They humanized the characters and allowed us to see them in a new light. I can’t help but wonder if the filmmakers thought the scenes were too emotional or slow-paced for a modern audience, but I firmly believe that they added depth and meaning to the story.

In closing, I’d like to leave you with a little joke: Why did the deleted scene from Wicked feel left out? Because it was cut off from the rest of the movie!

Wicked spoilers follow.

Wicked fans have shared their outrage after an emotional scene ended up on the cutting room floor.

After the latest digital drop of that enchanting musical fantasy in the U.S., I stumbled upon some previously cut scenes floating around online. Among them, a captivating conversation between Glinda, played by Ariana Grande, and Elphaba, portrayed by Cynthia Erivo, really caught my attention.

In a touching moment, Glinda appears to be having trouble wielding her magical abilities. Elphaba suggests, “Perhaps your struggles with magic stem from the fact that life has been relatively smooth sailing for you, hence you haven’t had as much need for it.

Later on, Glinda mentions the latest adventure of Elphaba and Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey), who fled with a young lion cub after their classmates were put to sleep. This prompts her to wonder aloud why she wasn’t selected to assist them in their noble act.

“I would’ve helped you, if you needed someone,” Glinda says. “You could’ve picked me.”

Deeply touched by what she said, Elphaba confides in her companion: “I apologize, it was a blunder. I promise not to abandon you ever again.

Supporters are currently discussing on Reddit about the omission of this scene in the film, with one commenting: “Really? This is such a heartwarming moment! I adore this movie and can’t help but feel it was incomplete without a scene like this!!!

This part of the story reveals the motive behind Elphaba inviting Glinda to travel to Emerald City with her. Essentially, Elphaba wanted to assure Glinda that she wouldn’t abandon her as she had done in the past, and it also demonstrates a moment when Glinda is seen studying magic for the first time, according to an observer.

The third person stated, “This particular scene conveys a great deal, and I believe the film could have been enhanced by its inclusion. It offers a deeper understanding of both characters’ differences and similarities. It likely wouldn’t have significantly increased the film’s duration.

A fourth humorously wondered, “What caused this deletion? Could this be my modern-day Roman Empire instead?” Meanwhile, another quipped, “Why was this eliminated…?

Among other notable cut scenes are instances where Glinda attempts to tutor her roommate Toss Toss, a private moment between Elphaba and Fiyero in the woods with the cub, and a confrontation between Elphaba and Boq (Ethan Slater) regarding his genuine feelings for Nessarose (Marissa Bode).

The musical “Wicked” has been released in theaters and can be purchased or rented on Prime Video, iTunes, and other platforms within the United States.
