Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

In the movie poster, I understand that the actor "chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes". The problem I have with it is that the thing she is communicating is not "I'm a wicked witch", but more "is this photoshoot over yet?" or "what shall have I for dinner?".
As well as her looking a bit indifferent, it also doesn't like the person next to her is actually whispering anything, because you typically use your hand to cup the space between the mouth and the ear for that, and the hand is too low down and too far away.
So I can see why fans would want to edit that original picture.
Yea, frankly the original is garbage. That photo is all about the actor having their face seen, and she doesn't even have a wicked look on her face (as you pointed out). It's more like Resting Bitch Face.
The fan art is 1000% better, it imparts slyness in the witch, and some secret thing happening between them.
I've seen better expressions in high school plays.
Should've gone for more "Resting Witch Face" ha
