The original sin of Wicked was splitting it into two films. From that point, the second one was always going to be weaker, thinner, more in need of filler. In that context, it's pretty much as good as anyone could do.

Properly recast Dorothy. Have her sing Somewhere over the rainbow. Do the black-and-white-to-colour transition. Then return to Wicked, and run the two stories in parallel. Not saying it would be easy, but given the available budget, definitely achievable

They had the opportunity to revisit and remake one of the iconic films of all time, one of the 20th century's cultural figureheads. If you're looking for filler, why not start there?

Reminds me of the early days of podcasts circa 2009 when audio would be ripped straight from TV panel shows and released as podcasts. Didn't work then, doesn't work now

It was a very slick edit! Normally you'd be impressed with that. But given the context, a bit too good

With the likes of Trump etc, you might despise him, but he's always saying what he wants, creating a vision and a sense of momentum towards it. I think people can be quite patient, if they believe an effort is being made to get somewhere better. What we hate is stasis.

It's very common in Portugal. Benfica aren't just the biggest football team, they also have professional rugby, basketball, hockey, volleyball, handball teams... it's a whole sports club, with facilities to match
