Also responding to @TheBaddestMitch’s original post, @AnarchyHabitat had a simple question about the commercial’s budget: “Missy [Elliott] in the commercial and they’re using her song, with all the other originals? Lol that salary cap was enough it seems.” @TheDejaKing, though, just seemed surprised that anybody said yes at all, writing, “In her defense, I feel like they all are actually too good for a Walmart commercial and really the brand of Walmart altogether (although admittedly this came out super cute and was really well done).” @yoga_doll shared that sentiment, posting, “In her defence she’s way [too] good for Walmart.”
Some people had explanations for Rachel McAdams’ absence from the commercial, all of which were related to Regina’s narrative in the movie. @jessiliza87 wrote, “She still recovering from getting hit by the bus!” @tabihobi chalked it up to Regina’s total disdain for the people in her life, writing, “Honestly I feel like Regina not showing up is pretty on brand for her character. Like realistically she probably wouldn’t still be friends with them.” @eveningsalone responded to that theory wondering about Lizzy Caplan instead of McAdams: “Yup! Folks forget that at the end of the film she’s with the field hockey team. She moved on then, her not being there makes total sense. I wanna know where Janis is.”
