[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoa, that's a nutso response.  She could have said she preferred the unaltered poster image because of blah blah - but her over-the-top rant just sounded ridiculous.  [/quote]

And her self-important language about how she "chose" to "look right down the barrel of the camera at you, the viewer" in the picture used for the official poster is simply ludicrious. She was an actor in a photo shoot, and once the photos are done, a whole team of artists and publicists makes all the choices and she makes none. If she was that self-important about her image in the official poster, I guess it's no surprise that she went off on a fan edit as if it were some kind of blatant "erasure" of her whole self. Before I opened the article, I wondered if a fan had altered her features or otherwise tried to make some racist alterations to change her appearance as a black woman. But nope, they simply made the image look a fraction more like the one used for decades now, for the stage version. BFD. No one would have paid much attention to that edit if Erivo herself hadn't lashed out about it.
