Something bad in this way comes. Literally. John M Chu’s Wicked is scheduled for an outing on November 22 this year, and it’s worth it. The Broadway musical film should explore the concept of the good witch and the bad witch, while linking them to a harmonious link.
With this new catch within a month, let’s review some of the best witches that the 2000s have had to offer us so far. Spoiler alert! You may want to connect the roots of mythology and shakespeare of your brain for it, but hold them back while you read.
Teenage witches
As the first Ahites, my first exhibition at the witches was, without surprise, through Disney Channel. At the time, I no longer knew an awareness of the crystal ball of clairvoyance predicting my fall to Hécate and the three witches of Macbeth. However, what I knew was that I wanted nothing more than being taken to the world of Wizards of Waverly Place.
Apart from my crush for childhood for Justin Russo, I was completely inspired by the puffing of the Malicious Alex Russo. It was the moment when the “witch” was a term with bad connotations, almost like a disasseed in itself, while “Wizard” was the favorite alternative. But I was too young to think about the feminist implications of this.
I was rather captivated by rhyming incantations and the fact that a washing swish would grant Alex access to almost everything. Surpassing her intellectual older brother and her inexperienced younger brother with an easy spirit of mind, she was the only dominant potential that was only associated with tips and Roguery, but she finally came out victorious in the magic race on the ‘legacy.
We do not know what message that Disney wanted children to receive with this arc. Perhaps something in the sense of emotional maturity, although it should be noted that Alex’s pranks have remained endless even after she became the only possessor of his family’s magic – Thank you for the film useful reunion. Alex has become an indomitable but fun adult, and it is the only point to take away.
Comic witches
With a more pronounced taste for the media that guide you in your adolescence, you cannot help but be fascinated by the convincing maximoff Wanda. At the beginning, a reluctant member of the Avengers, the favorite enchantress of the MCU evolved to shame his final form as a scarlet witch, thus cementing his heritage as one of the most emblematic witches that the big screen has to offer .
Wanda begins as a gullible hero, whose fear is felt in the echoes while the public wonders if it will be able to protect what it is expensive. So when she loses everything, our hearts fall into the wake of her grief. We accept that this is a thematic circumstance, that a hero must always lose to become stronger, better. Except that Wanda becomes a villain.
To clumsily unravel the knots of his powers in the manner of the book of Damné, the development of the character of Wanda is exceptionally shocking and that is exactly why we cannot sing enough praise for that. If the descent to madness does not convince you, imagine being trapped in generations of sitcoms where you are forced to play puppets for someone who is desperate enough to challenge reality to escape his pain.
If it seems absurd, then I should inform you, all of this is part of the MCU barrel and there is a complete series on it. It is a cast of experts. It is power. She is the scarlet witch. And a fun fact, it was made by a collective effort. Guiding Wanda’s wickedness was as great as it is, and perhaps even as powerful – Agatha Harkness.
Agatha harkness’s darling femd in Wandavision was not a seasonal thing. The experienced witch has won her place in the dark corners of our hearts by first her cheeky dismissal through a song, like a real blasé notch brewer, then as a well -matched enemi revealing the real colors of Wanda Wanda, Submitting the protagonist to a crisis that had been built since the start of the season.
The charm of Agatha and the mysticism of his rich Lores have earned him a spin-off series, Agatha from the start, from the name of the song itself which put her in the culmination of Wandavision. She is appreciated not only as an undoubtedly evil and heartbreaking witch, but also as someone who is cheating on you to sympathize with her despite you to deprive you of clear answers.
It is a risky company, sailing in the line between the representation and the stereotypes in accordance with the myth, but the character of Kathryn Hahn walks him with the grace of a confident witch. True to its roots, Agatha wraps all: ancient knowledge, shamelessly wickedness, the bad board, you call it.
The witches turned
In a pleasant contrast, the members of the Agatha Covers wear modern keys with their mythical roots. Not existing differently from any nuanced person, they demystor the theories without foundation and sexist stereotypes while being beautifully imperfect. They represent the fact that the “good witches” also guarantee a fictitious exploration, just like those which are of “witch” brand after the disappearance of goodness.
Maleficent is an easy example that comes to mind. Although characterized ambiguously, it follows all the stages that make a witch, from cruelty to curses. But if there is one thing that the 2014 film has taught us, it is because nature is a force of reprisals. Everything Maleficent does is in the name of revenge, and it is rewarded at the end of a long time at the end.
Game of Thrones Fans often see these fragments of complexity in Melisandre too. The priestess is admired for the devotor that she is. His loyalty to the Lord of Light is unshakable, the same goes for his goal when it comes to helping the fight for the throne. Although considered a cultist in the world of the series, she is not intentionally malicious. It is rather an ambitious magic practitioner who would forge a path in darkness in a brighter world.
To bring the point back, Elphaba – the wicked witch of the West – Too falls into this category. As musical questions, was we really born nasty or is wickedness pushed to them? Elphaba reminds us that, essentially, witches are no longer feared for their wicked intelligence only for their appearance.
The trailers have offered a promising overview, but we hope that the film 2024 puts more emphasis on the way the outsets are transformed into what they are, which should not necessarily turn towards wickedness. If the TrickSter FAE can be traced to have refined personalities, there is no reason why the witches remain isolated. After all, magic always makes room for more possibilities.
