“Wicked: For Good” – Disney dials Orwell up to 11

The name of the movie: Wicked: For Good

I don’t know that I could come up with a more Orwellian name for a product than that.

There is this word: “wicked” which means morally evil, sinful, of vice, and intentional wrongdoing.

There is this word: “good” which means just about the opposite of that.

Putting these two words together in your product name like that is … perverse.

Wicked, even.

Not good.

Anyway, this post was originally written on 2025-10-21. I went to the movie theater this weekend and watched Tron: Ares 3D. I liked it. Unfortunately, it was a Disney film; I wasn’t thrilled about throwing dollars at them. Of course there were trailers for upcoming Disney movies, and Wicked: For Good was one of them.

SMH.

Orwell would be turning in his grave.
