This project was made thanks to the lovely voices from all across the world! Since we're a queer bunch, everyone's pronouns are included in the description. English subtitles are up. On behalf of the cast, I hope you enjoy the first act of Wickedly Queer!
This is soooooo good!!!! When is part 2 coming out? I'm super excited for it!
@@liritklemer99999 I'm aiming for either this or next year. Would be cool to drop it around either one of the movies' releases. but no promises. 🤷 it's a passion project and each second takes hours to create.
I don't know if you need any more actors for this series of videos, but if you do, I am very, very willing to participate! I have a good singing ability and love WICKED with all my heart, and I especially like and agree with your an hour and a half essay of it (in fact I was very excited after i saw it).
Seeing that you haven't updated Part 2 yet, I wanted to ask if I still have a chance to participate. I would really appreciate it if you could reply me!
(I am not a native English speaker, so please forgive me if I make any mistakes.)
@@user-et1fy3fw1n your English is perfectly fine, no worries there! The singing positions have been filled for some time, so I don't need any more actors for that. But thank you for your interest!
ONE SHORT GAY IN THE EMERALD CITY IM DYING I LOVE THIS
Well, to be fair, the 1995 book versions of The Wicked Witch of the West & Glinda the Good shared a single bed (both at their Shiz University dorm [since Galinda was promised a singular suit, but ended up rooming together with green girl wallflower Elphie, with Galinda practically straddling Elphie & intersex Elphie feeling incredibly awkward around the glittery dumb strawberry blond] and at the room they're given at The Emerald City before meeting the charlatan humbug Wizard), something the musical either forgot or intentionally altered, since it gave each witch girl (or rather, she/they in Elphaba's case, since Elphie is strongly implied to have both female as well as male sex organs, per certain pieces of wording in MacGuire's source literary text) a separate bed during the "Popular" song sequence and intentionally kept the Gelphie moments as hinted-at subtext, as opposed to certain instances of genuine romance in the book (such as Elphie kissing Glinda during what would've been "Defying Gravity" within the confines of the book [per this _Wickedly Queer_ take on the play: "I hope you're happy in the end. I hope you're happy, my...." ~kiss~]).
Ok, but “Glindas Defying Gravity” as you called the dance scene is so cute. And the way Elphie went to the wrong side of the stage and then ran across it, like Fiyero always does after rescuing the Lion Cub. Amazing Details! Thank you for this amazing Musical retake
The dance scene is basically uncut, but in this version it's more Aware of itself, instead of just having that, admittedly delicious, subtext from the musical.
And Fiyero's character gets beefed up by singing "I'm Not That Boy", but partly because the scene was otherwise visually rather boring I animated Elphaba running across the stage while Fiyero thinks about how Awesome Elphaba is. (also like. the musical likes to pretend that Elphaba is smart but Elphie? Big dumb energy. They're a reckless idiot. And I'm glad I could have a moment in this version where I could show it :P)
I love all the metaphores like how elphie is portrayed by an avocado and glinda by a cupcake and Fierro by a coconut and how the "friend" is cut from defying gravity
Wait what do the foods mean?
@@Aroace-Anomaly Well, Elphie is an advocado because she's short, green & becomes bitterly sour (as a result of her standing up for the oppressed & marginalized in the face of a corrupt political regime, which ultimately wears her down & drives her a tad insane by the end). Glinda is a cupcake because she's so sugary sweet -- despite being a dumb blond archetype -- that she will likely give you diabetes & Fiyero's a coconut...just because, not to mention the fact that, as it pertains to the 1995 _Wicked: The Life & Times of The Wicked Witch of the West_ novel (alongside its _Son of a Witch_ & _Out of OZ_ sequel books), Fiyeraba bastard lovechild Liir exists, so if we utilize Elphie as an avocado & Fiyero as a coconut, you can basically say Liir is the direct result of "putting da lime in the coconut" (after having intercourse with Fiyero, intersex Elphie strangely gave birth to Liir despite being comatose throughout the whole thing, henceforth making her distant to her offspring, who was conveniently hidden away during his mother's melting death scene).
HOLY SHIT
I just randomly found your video about how queer wicked is because my gay butt was looking for some people that think the same as me. And now this came out ONE DAY AGO
what impeccable timing.
Gotta be lucky sometimes ;) hope you enjoyed it!
IT'S HEREE!!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS
Edit: IT WAS AS EXCELLENT AS I HOPED
I didn't know I wanted an introspective Fiyero version of "I'm Not That Girl" until this moment
It's the character arc he deserves!!!
@@BannedFromTheaters It really is
chills during the dance scene. brilliant work
Changed nothing there. Still insurmountably gay.
Personally instead of Galinda hiding the fact that she was gay I thought it would be better if she was more oblivious to it. She would THINK she wanted to be with Fiyero. She would THINK she is straight. I would keep the encounter alphaba and Fiyero would have. I thought that was executed better rather than the other scene which was kind of stupid. But slowly Galinda would come to terms with it as she starts to question it during the scene where she says that alphie was beautiful and they were about to kiss. Then accepts herself when they do kiss in defying gravity.
Sure, that would've been another possibility. And if this were a series that would've been the path I probably would go for. But in a musical things need to be held relatively simple.
WQ Animated also stems from a project where I created gif sets of Broadway bootlegs were I solely changed the dialogue, as I couldn't manipulate any images. So I held the entire structure of the musical, most lines even, just a few tweaks here and there.
If you'd go with your suggestion, I'd run in pretty massive problems by Thank Goodness. Because why does she stay with Fiyero if she realizes she is no longer into him?? If by THEN you have to explain the whole bearding thing, it may come out of left field.
Meanwhile, with my version, it makes sense (though it's still surprising!) that Fiyero and Glinda still have their little deal going on. Their fight makes sense. Glinda's emotions make SO much sense. Fiyero wanting to run away MAKES SENSE. They're both SO trapped, but Glinda CHOSE this. and she hates that she was a coward to not take that leap with Elphaba.
To me, that is a *far* stronger story beat and also a much stronger motivation for the rest of Glinda's actions in Act II. I also am a strong believer in Glinda is the smartest person and the heart of this story. I want Glinda to be cunning. I want the audience to know that she's playing the Part. That she transforms herself into everything society wants her to be and that it is NOT WORTH IT!!
I mean, your suggestion works too. But especially come act II, I feel like my version makes that initial bearding scene pay off so tremendously well.
@@BannedFromTheaters you make a strong argument! I didn’t really think much about act two to be honest. And now that I’m thinking about it shows how kind of scrambled it is as well. *act two not WQ* act one is structured waaay more than act two. Which I’m shocked you have a plan to work out for this especially since you changed things your way. I mean that was my reaction when I went to go see it. I turned to my mom And we sat there like, “wait is there no intermission??” Because the first act is so long and the second is very rushed and short
I did not expect to see this pop up in my feed today, holy shit! Looking forward to act 2 of course, but take your time :)
oH my god this is going to be so good👹
i wasn´t wrong at all, this was amazing! thank you for making this and for all your hard work:)
YEAHHHHHHHH We love videos made out of sheer love for a musical. Also the gay story we deserved.
that was amazing holy shit. im crying at the end, its always such a tragic story and its even more so.
Hi!! Sorry I ghosted you about this project so long ago but I’m so happy I finally get to see it! Love that glinda is a cupcake!
i love it!! it has been amazing being part of this project and i'm so excited for act two :))
Hello I'm Brazilian and I loved your project
I just watched that other 1 hour video of yours
I wish you every success in this and your other projects.
I will share to whoever I can
As a creator you know you've made it when the Brazilians start to come in! 😉 Thank you for your kind words!
Simply amazing job on this! Congratulations to you and to everyone who provided vocals as well! It’s beautifully done.
Can't wait for act 2 to drop to show everybody your incredible Morrible! :D
This video made me headcanon nonbinary Elphaba and I’ve never looked back. Amazing video!
Congratulations on your project, it was wonderful. I really liked the nods you have to the book such as Fiyero’s blue diamond tattoos, and the history of Oz in Dr. Dillemond’s chalkboard. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks! Though the chalkboard is exactly like the musical. Took a lot of scanning blurry photos to get the full thing but I did it! :')
So beautiful 😭!!
YAY!! Amazing! :D So happy you've been working on this project! If you ever make a Patreon or something like it, I would love to donate/follow, I'm so appreciative of your work!
That's very kind! It's a topic I've put a lot of thought into and I know that, if I ever do get to that amount of viewership, I'd never want to do CZcams fulltime. Parttime at most. Though right now my channel is still very much in the "hobby" state. Which is too small to go through the hassle of setting up a Patreon. So right now you can show your appreciation through comments! :D
Ahhhh this was amazing! Thank you so much for your efforts on this 💚💚💚
Yes! It's finally here! This is absolutely awesome! Wicked has been my favorite musical ever since I started liking musicals when I was seven! And I've shipped Gelphie for years, and I've read Wickedly Queer (the tumblr version), and I was so excited for this to come out! I'm REALLY looking forward to Act 2.
I just watched the other video that you made last 2020 and checked your channel and discovered this video that you made two months ago!!! Will definitely wait for Act II. As a depressed closeted aroace from Philippines, this gave me hope and chills! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey, I'm aro-ace too! :D High five! I know life can be shitty, but I remain of the assumption that we should keep on having hope. I'm glad I could provide a little of that to you!
this has been worth the wait! thanks you to the team who made this piece of art 💕
This is brilliant!! Thank you for putting all the time, effort, and hard work into this masterpiece. 💚
OMG! I LOVE IT
WATCHING THIS RIGHT AFTER UR WICKED IS GAY VIDEO ESSAY!!! OMG SO EXCITED
i didnt know i needed nonbinary elphaba in my life
Elphaba is nonbinary in canon legitimately. The original musical ignores this to make it more accessible to casual audiences, both straight & LGBTQ+.
'gal pals'
ITS FINALLY HERE
this is super cool!! looking forward to act 2 :D
It’s tiiiiiime! 💚💖
omg i’ve been waiting and it’s finally here
sooo good
Congratulations to everyone that was involved with this amazing project! I just happened to come across this and it is incredibly lovely.
I know it takes time, but I really look forward to the act 2. This was more than amazing!
I hope to complete Act 2 either this or next year!
@@BannedFromTheaters yes! Thank you so much for reply ❤️ I'll be waiting!
An avocadooooo! Thanks!
This makes me really happy
Love fyeros blue tribal markings like in the book!!!
ahh this is adorable and amazing and more people need to check it out!
this is amazing i love that you used they/them pronouse for elphie
This is great.
my partner and i spent an entire night on a deep dive of wicked and watching your video too and what is meant to us both respectively as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I really really hope you are continuing this project and i personally would love to voice anything and everything that can help u make the rest of this.
That's very sweet of you. I got all voices covered, but thank you for the offer. ;) I'm definitely continuing this project so no worries there, but since this is a labor of love project it's just going to take a while longer. My current aim is getting this finished before the first half of the movie drops at the end of 2024. Might seem like a long while away, but considering how much works this takes, I'd say it's a realistic deadline.
THIS IS SO RELATABLE!!!, IS AMAZING :'D
I'm looking forward to the rest of the story!!!
"No you're not. Or you wouldn't be so unhappy."
OOF??
That's actually a canon line! I just think-since in this version Fiyero actually gets to have an arc-it hits a lot deeper.
@@BannedFromTheaters It's clearly been a long time since I've seen Wicked, I completely forgot about that!
I like this version it’s cute
OH MY GOD YAAAAAAY
Please tell us wtf were u on when u made this, Cause,,, like,, i need some
OH???? OHHHH????
I love how she's like "unexpected departure' after legit killing the dude
The Wizard (Oscar Diggs, Elphie's ashamed charlatan of a father) never dies. He leaves dejected via hot air balloon. Remember, in the end, *WICKED* ultimately STILL has to abide by *THE WIZARD OF OZ* plotline that it's inherently based on, which means Elphie HAS to die (in the musical, she ONLY fakes her death in the musical strictly to send viewing audiences home happy with a bittersweet ending, whereas the 1995 novel leaves both her & Fiyero OFFICIALLY DEAD FOR REAL, Glinda stuck in a loveless marriage to boring dullard Lord Chuffrey, Liir [Fiyeraba's bastard bisexual lovechild, husband of coven nursemaid Candle & the biological father of Elphie's green-tinted grandchild, who is - rather appropriately, yet also albeit ironically - named Raine, a kind of heart-wrenching choice of name, considering what happened to Elphie herself at Kiamo Ko, which had once been the noble castle of the Vinkus/Winkie country before Fiyero's own supposed kinsmen became resentful of Elphaba's presence & secretly wanted her disposed of, with them conveniently being referred to as The Gale Force in hindsight, although the forthcoming movie adaptation of *WICKED* has them actually taking up this moniker before Dorothy even shows up in a bit of delightful foreshadowing] on his own journey of self-discovery, and the Scarecrow [whom, bearing in mind, is unequivocally NOT Fiyero in the 1995 novel, that's just Elphie's delusional mind breaking down, effectively making her CANONICAL melting something of a Mercy Kill accidently done by displaced child outsider Dorothy Gale] giving up his seat of power in The Emerald City temporarily to Glinda, who - if the _Wicked Years_ were ever rendered legit canon to L. Frank Baum's fantasy world - abdicates it to recovered lost Princess OZma, who ends up becoming "close friends" with a returned Dorothy once the former Kansas farmgirl permanently relocates to OZ "for good"; Indeed, although her Aunt Em & Uncle Henry live out the remainder of their lives on a farming homestead located just outside the gates of The Emerald City, Dorothy holds her residency within the palace itself & is actually the ONLY one given a MASTER KEY to OZma's PRIVATE CHAMBERS [Make of that what you wish folks & don't forget to purchase your "Friends of Dorothy" or "Friends of Elphaba" corresponding LGBTQ+ merchandise]). Conversely, as a result of losing the two people she truly loved the most, Glinda is left forever alone, tearfully wondering what might've been ("Although that doesn't shatter the ache we feel when reality sets back in", as stated plainly by the _I'm Not That Girl_ reprise) & resigning herself to looking after Liir as well as Raine from afar like a fairy godmother of sorts.
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh In the books doesn't Glinda believe Elphaba to be alive even when it's proven that Elphaba is dead?
@@poppyfan2842No.
In the musical, following the public announcement of The Wicked Witch of the West's liquidation (cue "Ding Dong, Emerald City" aka "The Triumphant Return" from the 1939 MGM film's full soundtrack married to the "No One Mourns the Wicked Reprise" aka "The Finale"), Glinda genuinely believes Elphie's dead, even though our beautifully tragic misunderstood protagonist is faking her demise (mind you, Elphie faking her death is only done strictly to send theatergoers home happy with a bittersweet happy ending instead of the legitimately sad one that's featured in the 1995 novel & is basically the opposing other side to the official lore of the original _Wizard of OZ_ fairytale). Yet, Scarecrow! Fiyero (a musical & possibly film adaptation exclusive, as it's strictly non-canon in the 1995 novel) reminds Elphaba that, in order for positive change/eventual progress to happen that benefits everyone long-term, the rest of OZ has to believe The Wicked Witch of the West is actually dead. This is also means neither of them can ever notify Glinda that they're still alive, even though they're the only two people Glinda ever truly loved the most (in a better world, the best-case scenario would've been for all three of them to form a romantic thruple & exit OZ all together, but of course, as we know, this isn't a better world & Glinda has to live her life alone without the two people she's ever truly felt any inclination for whatsoever).
Compare this to the 1995 novel, because in that source material, both Fiyero & Elphie are CANONICALLY dead (Fiyero is killed by the Ozian military that serves the current corrupt regime & Elphie genuinely melts FOR REAL due to her severe water allergy [for those wondering how she keeps clean, she bathes in an oily paste, which is a justified water substitute]). They don't ever come back in any of the other _Wicked Years_ stories. Glinda's stuck in a loveless marriage to a boring dullard, for all intents & purposes, effectively resigning herself to wistfully looking after Liir (Fiyeraba bastard bisexual lovechild) & later Raine (Liir & his coven nursemaid wife Candle's green-tinted daughter, who is ironically but appropriately named) from afar like a literal fairy godmother.
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh ok, thankyou. I know Elphaba and Ferora are alive in the play and died in the book. I just remembered reading somewhere that in the books, the 3 were close but also in a love triangle with Elphaba in the middle. Then Ferora and Elphaba ended up dying, which lead to Glinda going crazy and believing her friends to be alive, which ends up getting her locked up. I also read online that Elphaba was friends with Boq.
I've never read the books though, as I don't have a good attention span so I can only read comics due to my lack of attention span.
@@poppyfan2842 Therein lies another difference between the book & the musical.
In the musical, Boq becomes the Tin Man due to heartbroken, jealous Nessa shrinking Boq's heart (this following after the fact that Boq informs her that he's leaving her now that she has the magicked footwear to help her walk unassisted, which allows him to seek out Glinda's affection once again, even if Glinda wants nothing to do with Boq romantically, as she only truly loves Fiyero & Elphie) before The Wicked Witch of the East pleads with her summoned sister -- who unironically comes out of Nessa's closet once summoned -- to somehow spare Boq's life despite her grave mistake (meaning, despite Boq outright telling her that he's leaving her, Nessa realized all too late that she still loved Boq regardless, so she implores Elphie to keep Boq alive by any means necessary), which results in Boq's life being spared by turning him into the Tin Man without a heart.
As to be expected, Boq doesn't take the whole situation well & promptly disavows his friendship with Nessa & Elphie after that going forward ("This is more than just a service to The Wizard, I've a personal score to settle with Elph...with the Witch! It's due to her I'm made of tin. Her spell made this occur, so for once I'll be glad I'm heartless. I'll be heartless killing her!" ~Tin Man! Boq from _March of the Witch Hunters_ [the song that starts after The Wizard orders the quintet -- and Toto, too -- to get rid of The Wicked Witch of the West & return forthwith with her broomstick in their possession]).
Compare this to the 1995 novel, because in that, in accordance to the original _Wizard of OZ_ lore, Boq remains a Munchkin (he still simps for G[a]linda however, who politely rebukes his advances, with Boq quietly disappearing from the story altogether following the OZDust Ballroom dance party, at least until Dorothy visits his house, but after that small reappearance, he's gone from the rest of the story completely).
In fact, Boq is the particular Munchkin at whose house Dorothy lodges at during the first night of her journey down the Yellow Brick Road & in whose cornfield the brainless Scarecrow is discovered hanging listlessly on his tentpole. Meanwhile, as for the Tin Woodsman, his real name in classic OZ lore (and also the 1995 _Wicked_ novel) is Nick Chopper & his backstory is a tragic one.
In contrast to just being stuck in a rusty position for a year following a rainstorm as he was chopping a tree outside of his cottage (his truncated backstory from the 1939 MGM film), once upon a time, Nick Chopper used to be a human woodcutter, who charmed a Munchkin maiden named Aimee. However, Aimee was unfortunately under the guardianship of an overbearing & domineering parental figure (think Cinderella's mean stepmother Lady Tremaine, for a comparable example) who didn't want her daughter to go off & marry Nick Chopper, because it meant the old nag would have nobody to boss around once Aimee were to leave.
So, the old bat (not literally) conspired with The Wicked Witch of the East to enchant Nick Chopper's axe so that it would decapitate a part of him each time he raised it, with the old biddy thinking that with her love cut up into pieces, Aimee would have no choice but to remain in servitude forever. Unfortunately for our aspiring couple-to-be, this kind-of still happened in a roundabout way, regardless.
However, in a strange twist of fate, what neither Aimee's cruel guardian nor The Wicked Witch of the East accounted for was Nick Chopper's friendship with a local tinsmith, who would fashion a new specific body part for him each time he lost one to his enchanted axe (How he survived getting beheaded & getting a tin head to replace his real one is never explained, nor should it, because that particular part of the Tin Woodsman's origin is illogical fantasy tale nonsense, considering you need your brain & heart to function as a living being, whereas replacing the rest of him could be easily likened to getting prosthetic limbs after amputation).
The problem was, the tinsmith may have been able to give Nick Chopper a new head, new torso, new arms & new legs all made out of tin, but what he could never give him was the heart he had lost upon becoming the Tin Woodsman, so when he was fully rebuilt entirely out of tin, the former Nick Chopper could no longer feel love for Aimee, because he no longer had his physical heart anymore.
What this boiled down to was that Aimee was sadly stuck serving her cruel guardian & never even earnestly knew about her lover's plight, so she spent the rest of her life thinking the man she once loved had led her on before swiftly abandoning her, meanwhile the Tin Woodsman was left lonely & forelorn by himself in the very cottage he had previously built as a human for himself & Aimee to move into once they were to be married.
He was cutting trees to have some firewood prepared for the cottage stove when the sudden rainstorm hit & rusted his tin joints for an entire year, right up until Dorothy & the Scarecrow stumbled across him after escaping the accursed talking apple trees.
wooooo🎉
Isso ta muito bom 😂😂😂
gal pals 😱
