No like im serious, it was so beautiful, literally the best most faithful film adaptation of a Broadway musical there's been in YEARS, bitch i want to go see it in theaters again-- AND ITS NOT EVEN THE WHOLE STORY YET
Just saw Wicked and I feel like a Broadway-obsessed teenager all over again, oh it's so perfect
#ngl though i was disappointed to find out it was only act 1#bc some of my favorite songs are in act 2#i cannot wait to see how gorgeous they'll do As Long As You're Mine and No Good Deed and For Good#my only criticisms are i wish the opening phrases of No One Mourns the Wicked weren't changed to happy-ish major?#like in the original 'good news! she's dead!' was in a weird chord that made you feel uncomfortable#and also i miss the dissonance in the ending note of Dancing Through Life... another rounding-up-to-a-resolution-in-major#like... a lot of these musical choices are very purposeful#like elphaba and galinda's duets switching from elphie on the low harmony and galinda on the high harmony#to the opposite by the time we get to Defying Gravity and onward#signifying that elphaba is becoming more empowered and glinda more humbled#also-- not so much a criticism as a... Wouldve Made It Better If#i kinda wish the animals hadnt been photorealistic cgi and were just... people in costume? like the original? and like the 30s Wizard of Oz?#it wouldve made the injustice and racism allegories towards the animals hit a little harder i feel#like imagine seeing a literal lion toddler in a tiny cage.#all the same it worked pretty well with cgi-- dr dillamond looked fantastic with like zero uncanny valley at all#despite goats in and of themselves being very uncanny valley tbh#but UGHHHHH OHHHHHH I WANNA JUST GUSH FOREVER ABOUT MY FAVORITE MUSICAL OF ALL TIME OK#I WAS WEEPING WAY MORE THAN EXPECTED#also uh. looking back on it#was it even really a surprise that i turned out bisexual#when this was my favorite musical since like middle school#the Hella WLW wizard of oz musical
