Glinda Hasn’t Learned How To Do Magic Yet In Wicked

No Matter How Hard She Tries, She Can’t Conjure A Ball Gown

Even though Glinda has magical aspirations inWicked , she has not yet learn how to perform magic . When Madame Morrible admits Glinda to the grooming seminar and gives her a training wand , Glinda tries to use it during the " Popular " song . As part of Glinda ’s missionary work to give Elphaba a makeover and make her popular , she set about to conjure a testis gown for her roommate . It is a humorous sequence , butGlinda is ineffectual to make her intended magic happen .

Save for the tiniest of things , Wicked is a desirable screenland adaption of the musical , guaranteed to make viewers feel like they could defy gravity too .

The picture does not devote time to Glinda pretend any progression with her magic trick , with most of her story instead focusing on her ontogeny as a person , along with how her relationships with Elphaba and Fiyero ( Jonathan Bailey ) grow . Madame Morrible and the Wizard are only interested in Elphaba and not in Glinda because of Elphaba ’s innate propensity for magic . Wicked ’s villains only become authentically concerned in Glinda once they see Elphaba will never serve their cause .

Glinda Doesn’t Have Innate Magic Powers Like Elphaba

Elphaba Being A Child Of Two Worlds Makes Her Innately Powerful

Unlike Elphaba , Glinda is not naturally gifted at magic . When the Wizard being Elphaba ’s biologic father is let on in the 2nd act of theWickedBroadway musical , it is explain thatElphaba ’s unparalleled power staunch from her being a nipper of both Earth and Oz . The Wizard is from Earth and Elphaba ’s female parent , Melena ( Courtney Mae - Briggs ) , is from Oz , make Elphaba a child of both worlds , which is what enables her to have the rarified power to record the Grimmerie .

Despite what the public conceive , the Wizard of Oz is ineffectual to read the Grimmerie .

Glinda ’s parents are affluent citizens of Gilliken Country , but they are both from Oz , have in mind that Glinda does not have the magic that comes from being a child of both worlds . Elphaba not only has congenital magical powers , but is able to transmit them through the strength of her emotions . Glinda is not afraid to showcase her emotions and feels things strongly , but her emotions do not lead to thaumaturgy in the same style that they do for Elphaba inWicked .

The Wizard And Madame Morrible Must Rely On Glinda Now

As tease byWicked ’s opening fit , the continuation will see her as Glinda the Good , who is able to get along and go via house of cards as inThe Wizard of Oz . With Elphaba now an foe of the Wizard and Madame Morrible , Glinda is their only option , and she is far easier to manipulate . Any magical big businessman she can harness pales in comparison with Elphaba , though . Nevertheless , it suits the Wizard and Madame Morrible to have someone who is portrayed as as if by magic gifted and the antithesis of the demonized Elphaba .

With the first motion-picture show already making some changes , such as beast help to bring up Elphaba , it is possible thatWicked : Part Two ’s story will choose to dive deeper into Glinda ’s magical journeying .

The second human activity of the Broadway musical does not spend time offer meaning exploration of Glinda ’s magical abilities , and it is even implied that the house of cards may just be one of the Wizard ’s gizmo . The movie seemingly confirm this by Glinda seem to meet a clitoris to spread and end the bubble . With the first motion picture already make some variety , such as creature helping to levy Elphaba , it is possible thatWicked : Part Two ’s storywill choose to dive deeper into Glinda ’s magical journeying . At the very least , the nextWickedmovie will amply showcase her as Glinda the Good and as the witch that the citizen of Oz look to for answersafter Elphaba ’s supposed demise .
