[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are being more dramatic in the comments than she was in her reaction.  The play poster is intentionally generic because it isn't made to be changed every time a new actor is hired.  The movie poster showed both actresses' faces because they're the stars of the show, and there won't be any substitutions.  [b]Hiding most of their faces does erase them[/b] and revert to just showcasing the idea of the character, which makes sense for Broadway but not for a movie.

She was hurt to be erased from a movie poster where she's the main character, and I don't think it's crazy to say that out loud since people were probably asking her about it.  Her reaction certainly doesn't make her unintelligent, even if it does seem sensitive.[/quote]

Close, but not quite. It erases HER, only. The other actress's hand is moved, and dimple removed, but she's still herself. There's nothing left in the photo to indicate that the hat-wearer is Cynthia Erivo at all. It's total erasure. [/quote]

But isn’t it erasure of the character, not Cynthia Erivo? I thought when you act you are representing that character.  She made it about her as a person but it isn’t about her.  No one is seeing Cynthia Erivo in this movie- it’s to see Elphaba.[/quote]
