It's barely different than the original poster.
shareIF I STARRED IN A MOVIE...I WOULDN'T WANT SOME SHIFTY INTERNET WEINER OBSCURING MY FACE ON THE POSTER EITHER.
shareThe fan edited poster makes complete sense as it is a reference to the original Broadway poster. It's completely harmless, how the fuck does it even affect anything? She obviously tries to insinuate racism without actually saying it.
shareShe is a race baiter pos
shareI think the more her face is cloaked, the more promise of mystery is evoked. Also, the prospective ticket buyers who fail to watch the trailer will not know she was miscast. ;D
shareLike him or not, Critical Drinker's description of the original poster is spot on. Why the hell would anyone take offence to someone simply paying homage to it?

How f*ing desperate to invent disrespect do you have to be, to suggest this is an attempt to 'erase' you?
I was indulging in a bit of sarcasm. My post from a while back below.

I only learned this from your post. Funny, when my parents took me to see it on Broadway with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, it played out spectacularly in one evening.
Plus, Cynthia Erivo is 37 years old and doesn't look a day over 50.

Critical Drinker is indeed right on all points.
That's why she was hired to do this. Get someone who's got a shaved head like a Black Panther radical activist who can manufacture "outrage" out of the most innocuous thing imaginable.
share"She obviously tries to insinuate racism without actually saying it."
She does, I was actually expecting her to bring up slavery. So tired of the race grievance nonsense.
Because, being paid millions to play a part that has been played by white people for most of the show's entire theatrical run is "slavery." 😂
sharethe poster was made by some dork who really likes whatever this is & was having a bit of fun.
she sounds like a psycho.

Most offensive thing she’s seen? She must live a sheltered life.
Hiding her eyes is offensive?
The “fan” just paid homage to the original poster.
WTF is her problem?
Probably not reading into what the angle was of this particular fan edit. When you compare the three posters (the broadway one, the initial poster for the film and the fan edit) then it becomes immediately clear that there was no ill intention by the creator of the fan edit.
shareExactly!
She’s the only one imagining it.
Besides, that fan covering her face is doing us all a favor.
She looks like Forest Whitaker took the Substance and the copy came out looking like Kobe Bryant with boobs. Less of her face is a good thing.
