    I could tell this movie was a book adaptation from scene one.

    Like, the voiceover stuff was clunky (to me), and there were a ton of oversights or plot contrivances that I'm sure were better explained in print, but didn't make the cut.

    It's a bit trite in the modern era of streaming, with the proliferation of limited series, to say "boy, this might've made a better limited series", but boy.

    This would've made a better limited series.

    The Nasha…

    Noooooo, don't you dare break up with your hs boyfriend and pursue your corporate dreams,

    (Also, she doesn't warn a soul about 9/11 even after deciding to pretty dramatically change the future. Like, what in the world is going on?)

    So, I haven't seen the musical -- or read the book -- so I'm unclear where to lay the sins.

    To that end... The good stuff is good, but I feel like it's important for stories to make sense in their own universe and this just doesn't.

    I anticipate part two is 10 minutes of Elphaba nuking the fascists, and if it's not I'll be sorely disappointed.
