If there’s one place where you are able to see the full impact of “Wicked: For Good,” it’s online. The movie didn’t just trend – it took over people’s feeds. On TikTok, countless users are posting emotional reactions, from people sobbing over certain scenes to fans freaking out over the musical numbers. Instagram isn’t any quieter. Fan art, cast photos, aesthetic edits, and behind-the-scenes clips are flooding Reels, making the movie feel like a full cultural moment.

Ever since “Wicked: For Good” hit theaters on Nov. 21, 2025, it feels like the entire internet has been taken over by reactions, edits, and emotional breakdowns from fans. TikTok and Instagram have basically turned green with “Wicked” content, and whether you’ve seen the first movie or not, you’ve probably come across something about the sequel. But beyond the hype, does the movie live up to its massive online energy?

The reactions from people who have seen the newly released sequel in theaters are very mixed. Some people love it, “Everything about this film is what a sequel is supposed to be,” said reviewer LegoBoyo on IMDb. 

While others not so much, “…after the highs of the first wondrous outing, it’s hard not to feel disappointed by this follow-on that failed to find the heart and wonder that was so evident the first time around,” said reviewer eddie baggins on IMDb.

What’s interesting is that even with the mixed reviews, the movie is still everywhere online. Love it or not, people are talking about it nonstop – and that level of buzz is something you can’t fake. When a movie gets this much attention from so many different types of viewers, it’s proof it struck a nerve, even if opinions are all over the place.

As someone who actually went to see the sequel in theaters, it definitely hits on a different level, especially if you’ve followed the “Wicked” storyline from the beginning. Compared to the first film you can tell how much these characters have grown. The musical performances are honestly one of the best parts – the leads bring so much more emotion and intensity that the entire audience around me was completely silent during some of the more powerful scenes. 

You can tell the creators wanted this sequel to be an experience, not just a continuation. And it works – especially if you are fans of the first film of the “Wicked” franchise.

So is it worth the hype? 

Honestly? If you’re someone who loves emotional movies, musicals, or the original “Wicked”, then yes –  the hype is real. The sequel delivers a lot of powerful moments that stick with you. Sure, there are a few slow parts, and some people say it tries to do a little too much at once, but overall it’s a meaningful and memorable movie that fans seem to be loving.

Even if you’re not a hardcore “Wicked” fan, it’s still a fun movie to experience with friends, especially since everyone online is talking about it right now.

The social media buzz isn’t misleading, it’s pretty accurate. “Wick­ed: For Good” hits emotionally, looks amazing, and gives fans a lot to talk about. Whether you’re already obsessed with the world of Oz or just jumping in now because of the hype, this sequel proves that some stories really are worth revisiting.

And based on the way the internet is reacting? This one’s going to be talked about for a long time.
