The trailer for 'Wicked: For Good' has been released to significant anticipation, showcasing a darker aesthetic, impressive set designs, and excellent performances. However, reactions have been mixed, particularly regarding the design of the iconic cowardly lion, which has drawn criticism from fans who preferred the original's portrayal. Some viewers expressed disappointment over the modern CGI design, questioning its quality and artistic direction. While some fans celebrated the new aesthetic, others are apprehensive, illustrating the challenges of modernizing beloved characters from classic films.
If you've seen the original Wicked film, you'll know that CGI animals play a huge part in the plot, and while I'm typically not a fan of CG visuals, I managed to set my personal gripes aside.
The backlash to For Good's CGI character design proves there will always be criticism when reworking a cinematic classic. Our first glimpse of the cowardly lion may not have resonated with all audiences, but hopefully, critics can put their biases aside until the film's release in November.
