What are your hot takes/unpopular opinions about Wicked? Musical, movie, whatever

I saw the movie originally then watched the musical. A few of mine would be:

  • Something Bad is a good song, the vocals are amazing. Many put it as one of their least favorites
  • I love Nessa even more after having seen act 2. She's such a "beautifully tragic" character and I feel like a lot of people hate on her because they miss the point.
  • The musical feels a little rushed compared to the movie. Could just be bias.
  • I enjoyed Act 2 and don't think the story is bad. Many claim it's messy
