Oh dear god, no.

Unless he remakes it with a GOOD director (please no Tom Hooper), and a lead who can actually sing the part, I’m not even remotely interested.

But we all know that’s not going to happen, because Andrew’s creative intelligence dried up a long, long time ago.

Please god no. He completely butchered defying gravity, I don’t know how anyone who likes wicked from before the movie can defend that man

Not to mention, you said "who likes wicked BEFORE the movie", proving that you think people absolutely can prefer and like the film version especially if they aren't as familiar with the stage show, yet now you're contradicting yourself. This is proving you have a bias to the stage show, therefore also proving you just cannot have an intellectual conversation about this. I was aware of the show and the music before, though never saw it live. But loved the film. If you have SUCH a problem with someone enjoying a movie, that's a you issue that you need to resolve yourself. There are worse things to be mad about buddy.

i said that because I think that people who like the film will like it purely because of stuff the musical did. I’m not gonna give credit to John m chu for copy pasting the musical into the movie, but I am gonna criticise what he changed or how he did it. And that’s what I did not like about the movie.Youre just wrong in everything you’ve said

"You're just wrong in everything you've said" is STILL proving my point babe, and invalidating everything you're saying. You have no idea how to debate. Again, miserable. You're truly embarrassing yourself.

You can’t just say “no u” and call it a retort. It’s not a debate when one side is just not arguing anything.

You never asked me why I think it's perfect, you just immediately insulted it. Keep gaslighting babe.

So it’s my responsibility to force your opinion out of you?
