Wicked 2024
Falling or flying?
Villains fall. They fall from grace. Descend into madness, into wickedness and evil. These characters fight for control in any way they can, and in doing so, they lose a greater part of themselves. Their humanity and their love vanishes until all that’s left is hatred.
But every villain is the hero in their own story. And every villain is just on the other side of ourselves. They are the shadow, that deeper layer of truth we…

You really cannot beat this shit.

Oppenheimer 2023
J. Robert Oppenheimer sees the world differently than everyone else.
This ability, this magnificent foresight, allows him to excel in the theory of physics, but not its practicality. He’s an incredible mind, with an incredible imagination, yet when his theory becomes reality, he cannot face the consequences. He falters, shrivels into a shell of himself.
He sees the world differently than everyone else, but he couldn’t see how he would feel once he single-handedly changed the world. The pain, the…
