She is waterproof now. That means only way to take her out is Dorothy’s house falling on top of her.
Bro fell for the Wizard’s propaganda
Spoilers I guess, but in the second act of the musical (which the next movie will be adapting) it’s revealed that water does not make her melt and that’s just propaganda.
she can cry now?!
Her not being weak to water is a plot point in the musical that comes back later. Don’t worry.
How dare you make fun of her eyes? She’s looking *at the camera*! The single most delicate and difficult part of acting!
Tears contains water, lipids, lysozyme, lipocalin, glucose, and sodium. Witches cant handle water yes, but only fresh water, saltwater is fine. I found that out when I was on witch museum.
Actually a movie detail if you knew the source material!
This is unironically explained later lol
It’s not enough water to kill her. She cries in the book, and the tears just irritate her skin.
The wicked were the friends we make on the way
TBF, you may need to wait to see the second half before calling this a shitty detail. It goes all the way to the top!
Do you hear that– water will melt her?! People are so empty-headed, they’ll believe anything!
She actually cries piss.
My sister is fuming that Elphaba is black im telling her she’s literally GREEN
What! Water will MELT her? People are so empty headed they’ll believe anything!
OP also thinks she has an extra eye that always remains awake and that she can shed her skin as easily as a snake
Waiting for another online meltdown in 3, 2, 1…
There’s a whole lot of “ACKSHUALLY IN THE BOOKS THIS IS BASED ON” in these comments considering it’s instead based on the musical Wicked where there’s a whole plot point of them calling people dumb for believing she’d be hurt by water.
Just a theory but what if she faked her death??
There is actually a scene where she and her boyfriend laugh at people, because they are so stupid that they even believe that water can kill her.
So no, you fell for the propaganda.
Is this a joke? Am I missing something? Do yall know nothing about Wicked? Cause water doesn’t actually kill her. It was all just propaganda by the wizard.
Modern writers just can’t write for Green people. Neither witches nor hulks… nor Yoda like persons.
someone fell for the Wizard’s propaganda
(no, really, the original movie is kinda the propaganda version of the story in Wicked)
I take it someone hasn’t seen the play.
In Wicked 2 she develops a water intolerance after eating a cursed avocado toast made by the munchkins. Before that she’s actually a hydro homie.
I remember during the Oz great and powerful movie she cries and it burns her skin. Guess they didn’t want to do that here.
