Fans customized the Wicked movie poster to more closely match the original Broadway poster.

Some fans, disappointed by the poster, altered it to be closer to the original, moving Grande’s hand and lowering the brim of Erivo’s hat to cover her eyes. The edits prompted Erivo to respond. “This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen
“None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo continued. “The original poster is an ILLUSTRATION. I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes.”
So, this seems like a completely reasonable reaction to fans making fan content.
What is she trying to communicate anyway? She has the plainest, most boring face of all time, just staring at the camera with the eyes of a dead fish. There is no communication going on.
I think she's trying to communicate her skincare routine.
I. Want. To. Fit. In.
She’s just remembered she has some video tapes to return.
Maybe it's a PR thing.
Can't tell who it is on the edited version.
Everything is about brand and name recognition these days
