Elphaba is completely emotionally abandoned by her parents, particularly her father. He refers to her as "it" when she is born and orders a nurse to take her from the room due to her green skin. He is shown to shun Elphaba and use her basically as a servant to care for his younger daughter.

No, not exactly. But to some, when elpahaba forgives her bully, Glinda, this could be reminiscent of an abused person forgiving their abuser.

Elphaba’s mom drinks a green elixer that is implied to have similar effects to alcohol or drugs. In the book it’s more like a drug but in the movie it’s left open to interpretation.

I wouldn’t count this as sacrificing herself. The guards were after Elphaba and she says “I’m the one you want! It’s me!” It’s more telling them to leave Glinda alone because she wasn’t who they’re after.

after elphaba runs out of the throne room and madame morrible tells the monkeys to go after her, elphaba goes running through a hallway, there’s a few jumpscare moments. the first one, elphaba looks out the window and a monkey slams into one of the windows and that’s a jumpscare. one of them also grabs glinda during that part. hope this helps!!

There is no depiction of an eating disorder in the film. However, the two lead actresses had significant weight loss during the filming of the movie and appear noticably underweight. There have been a lot of unconfirmed rumors that this weight loss is due to them using weight loss drugs and/or having eating disorders.

While the rumors of the lead actresses having eating disorders are unconfirmed as of now, their underweight appearances and the discourse around their weight loss has been very triggering to many people with eating disorders, myself included.

Wicked (2024)

Overall, the movie is surprisingly viewer-friendly and doesn’t have any strobing lights.

1) 01:49:57 - 01:50:02 flashes* (this happens at a theater and feels like a few isolated camera flashes. These are quite bright but last only a few seconds).

2) 01:53:47 - 01:53:56 fireworks* (these are somewhat dimmed and quickly move to the background).

3) 02:26:50 - 02:27:40 free fall, high speed shots*
(the scene may feel a bit “glitchy” due to rapidly shifting heights).

4) 02:29:57 - 02:30:18 electric sparks, high speed shots, dimmed thunder lightnings*

* - doesn’t appear to have a strobing effect.

Everyone’s photosensitivity threshold is different, but this movie seems to be safe for most people since there aren’t any full-on strobing effects. Having said that, it’s best to always exercise caution. Bonus tips for Wicked (2024), minute by minute, are on our instagram page @strobealert ⚡️🚨✅

There are two scenes I can think of:

2. The flying monkeys were created to be spies, implying future listening in.

At the very beginning, elphiba is born. You do not see the actual birth, or slime or anything potentially gruesome for kids. The main point of this scene was to show elphiba was green all her life and how her family felt about it.

No but historically the musical is about antisemitism (green skin, witch imagery, the way animals are silenced and slowly lose their rights) Stephen Schwartz said it was a major part of the story even though it’s unsaid. No characters are Jewish though so there isn’t antisemitism

The film is about discrimination. A green woman is subjected to colorism/racism because of her skin color. A disabled woman in a wheelchair is treated in an ableist manner by able people. Talking animals face discrimination.
