Is Shrek related to Elphaba?I mean, they're both green... How many green humanoids are there??Discuss!! |
||||||
| MariekeLovesEnjolras |
Shrek is an ogre. Elphaba isn't. | ||||||
| GungaDin |
That's NOT the point. The point is they belong to the same race... | ||||||
| Salome |
elphaba isnt an ogre. | ||||||
| GungaDin |
Well, SHrek isn't a witch or warlock either. | ||||||
| Monsieur D'Arque |
Looking at the characters' development...
Shrek is Scotch-Canadian, living in Far Far Away. Elphaba is Australian-American, living in Oz. Elphaba lacks most of Shrek's species' features, namely magical ogre ears. |

No. |

| GungaDin |
uhmmm... y r all of you so serious?? 
This was meant to be a whimsical thread. |

The only things they have in common are that they are both green, and both mean. | ||||||
| actor |
And that society rejects them both, thinks they're evil when they aren't and is discriminative toward them because of their skin colour/species. |
||||||
| Salome |
andt hey are both the lead role in a shitty show. LOL | ||||||
| actor |

'are they related?'
wth. not at all. |
||||||
| WickedToo |
I'm sorry if I'm missing the point to this thread. I just don't see how it could be justified that they would be related. Sure their characters are similar but they're too different to be related. |

This thread is so racist.
OK, for real though, why are you guys being dumb? The original poster was obviously joking. I thought it was funny. Not the most clever of jokes, sure, but really you guys? Chill out. |
||||||
| ActingDude17 |
I mean, really guys. It's the Wicked board. If you take anything here seriously you're pretty dumb. | ||||||

Elphaba "I don't know what i'm gonna do if Wicked closes, there aren't a lot of jobs for me"
Phantom "Well you could always star in Shrek the musical" Elphaba "Wow, that was racist" - SNL
|
||||||
| What you own |

"You from the color purple" "I'm not from the color purple" "Bringin da noise bringin da funk" Wow I guess Broadeays litrally going green. |

Shrek is Canadian??
|
||||||
| Monsieur D'Arque |
Shrek's accent is not Scottish, as it's been claimed, but Scotch-Canadian, a genuine dialect with its own influences from both linguistic patterns. Listen to Mike Myers do both Shrek and Fat Bastard and you'll see what I mean here.
The accent has become enough a part of the character that it's probably his most recognizable feature, other than the whole "green" thing. |

| Amy_Vocalist |
I find that racist.
No not all GREEN people are related, what are you trying to say huh, that they all LOOK THE SAME TO YOU HUH HUH HUH

I'm sorry, I guess that WAS a bit racist. | ||||||
| WickedToo |

Is this still at the top of the page? Why?
I am enjoying all the nods to SNL and Avenue Q a lot. |
||||||
| ActingDude17 |
Sometimes. On Shrek's accent: it is neither Scotch nor Canadian. It is Mike Myers. Yes, Mike Myers is an accent. |
||||||
| MariekeLovesEnjolras |
Because you keep replying, lol
Me too
|
||||||
| Monsieur D'Arque |
The accent is not just a funny thing Myers invented. It is indeed a Scotch-Canadian accent.
It's based on his Scottish grandmother's accent, softened with a Canadian touch from years of citizenship. She would read fairy tales to him as a child, so he went to her accent for a fairy-tale creature. |

| Amy_Vocalist |
I was under the impression he was a comedian.... 
|
||||||
| Mistress |
*sigh* yes Mike Myers is a comedian/actor-Canadian if you wanted to know... |
||||||
| Amy_Vocalist |
*sigh* I was being sarcastic... suppose it doesn't come over... |
||||||
| LansburyLuPone |
Well, now that you've mentioned it. I heard that Shrek is one of elphaba's distant cousins. | ||||||
| nickdcpa |
gah-lindai think it would be so funny if during wicked, glinda made a joke about shrek-- but i think it would be distracting and not relevant to the play--so i will allow them not to include it
hey everyone--i try to sing wicked & xanadu songs--please visit my page and rate/comment the videos? thanks so much!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IniUygm7lbA |

| keelycrazy |
you did NOT just go there with me! Wicked is nowhere close to SHIT! |
||||||
| StarInTraining |
there are a few relations in story. but Sherk staged i think is more of a joke and a money scam. | ||||||
| Disney-Bway27 |
Lawlz. I don't think Shrek is a money scam. It's legitimately a decent show. A bizarre and unnecessary choice for a show, yes, but a decent one. |
||||||
| Jman383 |
Agreed, I've seen it twice. It's not bad at all..Shrek I mean. Wicked is.... Wicked... lol. More of a guilty pleasure than anything else! |

If Shrek and Elphaba were related,I really wouldn't want to be at their family reunion. |
