I honestly think Ariana did a perfect job as Glinda because she kinda *is* our real-life Glinda. Shallow, pretty, popular, narcissistic, betraying people left and right for her own benefit... but under all of that, still human. I bet she regrets a lot of her questionable life choices.
what people need to understand is that ariana grande is able to pull off every single one of galinda's physical gags because that woman was in the comedy trenches of nickelodeon's victorious and anyone who was forced to show feet in front of dan schneider is walking away with a level of commitment to the bit that human beings were not built to perceive

When it comes to things that are unfortunately true, but are mainly repeated by people who either took it out of context or themselves never even understood what the thing they're saying is supposed to actually mean, there's "life's not fair." People who like saying it like it because it is true, but when they say it, they mean "life is full of stupid, shitty things that should not exist, and unfortunately for you, I am one of them."
But what it really means is that reality does not give a shit about what you think would be fair. Your opinions of how the world should work have no influence on how the world actually works any more than anyone else's do. You have to take the tools that you have available and put them into work yourself, and if you don't, someone else will. And a lot of the time, the world works the way it does because someone else has, and the tools they were given were better than yours were. That doesn't mean that their idea of justice would be better than yours, or that they were more justified.
You have all the right to think "it is not fair that things are the way they are, they should be some other way." And everyone else has the right to think so as well, and many of they will think the things should be different in a completely opposite way from what you do. The matter is, this alone changes nothing. Your thoughts and ideas alone will never be so noble and correct that the world will move to be in accordance to them. You cannot move the physical world with the power of your mind, you have to move your hands to change it.
And sometimes, there are things that will never move. You will have to go around them, even if you don't like it, and even if you don't want to. It isn't enough to be right, and believe that other people have the moral duty to change their minds to be in accordance to yours, you will still have to find a way to convince them. And you won't make yourself heard if you make yourself unpleasant to listen to. People will block you and ignore you, and will continue to do and think whatever they think they should do, and what is right and just.
Nobody moves the world with the power of their mind. Your mind can only move your hands, and the world is moved by the hands of people working together. And regardless of whether your idea of what should be right is achievable at all, just crossing your arms and going "I shouldn't have to do X, other people should just do Y on their own" and sulking until the world makes that happen is going to achieve absolutely nothing.
Happy wrapped day to those who celebrate!
