Because she’s popular right now. We’re talking about the future, do you think Wicked has the longevity of other popular franchises? Is Wicked as big as Harry Potter was? Because that has some staying power behind it.
do you think Wicked has the longevity of other popular franchises
Babes, Wicked has been a musical theatre darling since 2003. It already HAS longevity and popularity, just not in your circles. Once again, 2nd biggest Broadway show of all time, (actually of this millennium.) It’s not #1 only because Lion King has been around longer.
The Broadway Girls™️ and Broadway Gays™️ are coming for that merch, and so are the Ariana Stans. Again, look at the price of that Cat Valentine doll.
(Also, comparing Harry Potter to Wicked is funny because of how they’re two of the THE 2008-2015 Tumblr fandoms (ignoring Superwholock))
The play is extremely popular at 21 years old. I saw it as a teenager and enjoy when bits of it come back into my mind despite never really being into it. But there definitely are people still obsessed with it. It’s a damn good play.

The difference is Harry Potter was an all ages international phenomenon, not just a Tumblr fandom.
So few things actually become collectibles, you’d have more luck with a beanie baby than you would this misprint Wicked merch long term.
You missed every point I made.
I saw the Harry Potter movies.
You do realize Wicked is based on a 85 year old movie right?
From the perspective of when the play got launched, we are already in the future. And it’s still massively popular. Your point?
Comparing just the stage plays? Definitely, it’s in fact orders of magnitude bigger.
Comparing it the media franchise?
Not a sensible comparison as they’re not both similar franchises. You could compare HP to Pokemon or Mario instead, or Wicked to Aladdin or Lion King.

Do you think people view Victorious as a popular franchise today?
