"My excitement for the Wicked sequel posters has been an emotional rollercoaster of excitement, slowly descending into disappointment. Like the stages of grief, I was initially in denial about the quality of the designs, hoping for redemption. Now, in a state of sad acceptance, I present the latest abomination. While I was never expecting the Wicked: For Good posters to join the ranks of some of the best movie posters of all time, I was hoping for a least a sprinkle of magic. The reality has been a slew of Photoshop bodge jobs and soulless CGI that leaves me feeling anxious for the upcoming release."
"The latest design features the shadowy silhouette of Elphaba, filled with bizarrely pasted-on character headshots, not to mention a random cherry blossom tree, which I can only assume has been added to distract from the questionable design. Be it the fact that Elphaba's iconic hat resembles a banana or the fact that it managed to make the floating head poster trend even worse, to say I'm let down is an understatement."
Wicked: For Good promotional posters feature a shadowy Elphaba silhouette filled with pasted-on character headshots and an incongruous cherry blossom tree. The imagery displays obvious Photoshop edits and soulless CGI that dilute iconic costume elements, including a hat that appears banana-like. The compositions emphasize floating heads and cluttered layouts that diminish visual impact. Fan reactions on social platforms have been harsh, labeling the designs crude and demanding change. Repeated poster releases are perceived as progressively worse and have increased public anxiety about the film's marketing quality and professional polish.
