When the movie poster came out, many pointed out that it referenced but was not identical to the original musical poster:

Someone edited the movie poster to look more like this and now apparently Cynthia is choosing to be deeply hurt by it.

I literally don’t get this overdramatized reaction when it’s obviously an edit that nods to the original poster. Girl needs to chill tf up

Clap if you care...

Embarrassing. She has no sense of humor and too easily offended.

[63grekke 1,036]

overdramatic, annoying, and insufferable.

Her mentioning the “is your p*ssy green?” Meme is absolutely SENDING me 💀

I can see how some say she’s over reactive (don’t disagree)

on the other hand. 
 

this film, its theme, and the actual character of Elphaba are extremely significant to marginalized people and I understand that the marketing choice to include her as Elphaba and intentional as it supports driving the actual intended statement behind the story.

 

also people criticizing her looks are disgusting

She is going to bring down Wicked’s box office numbers by millions with her nonsense.

I think i'd be way more on board with her if 

1) The poster edit had gone to the effort of altering things like her nose etc which are actual facial features and are things black women get criticised heavily for by racists. But beyond the typical AI smoothness there's no actual bodily changes to her appearance - they've just moved the hat & changed her lipstick colour to match the poster it's copying (and copying badly). And the changes to Ari are just moving her hand into a significantly less stupid position. 

2) She didn't go on a massive attack about AI edits as a whole having hours before shared AI edits of the poster. It's hypocritical.
