So I decided to watch Wicked and Wicked For Good.  I did not like the play when I saw it years ago, but I was just coming down with the flu at the time, so I thought maybe that had something to do with it.  So I thought to give it another chance. 

And no, no I don't like the movies anymore than I liked the play (though thankfully I was not coming down with the flu while watching it).   

However, there IS a song in the second movie sung by the Wizard called "Wonderful".   And I DID like that song, or at least parts of it, cause it was quite a commentary on our current times.  The lyrics: 

"Once folks buy into your blarney

It becomes the thing they'll most hold onto

Once they've swallowed sham and hokum

Facts and logic won't unchoke 'em

They'll go on believing what they want to" 

- The Wizard, Wicked For Good

I mean, the whole movie is a lightly disguised allegory for tRump's America.  Undesirables, in this case, animals, having their rights restricted, thrown into cages and trying to sneak out of the country.  Say Hispanics and immigrants in place of animals, and it IS the USA in 2025/2026.  and this is the most obvious example.

Anyway, the above lyrics, which I don't think are in the lyrics of the song from the play, described the MAGAmorons to a T!

Frankly, it was one of the best part of the entire film for me.
