Not pinning this thread as it’s probably nicer to focus on the best shows than the worst, but curious to see what everybody’s biggest disappointments where

    Hot take, but Wicked. It’s an average movie with a huge marketing budget preying on nostalgia for a much better film.

    Like, it wasn’t bad, but it certainly was my biggest letdown of the year.

    Also — movie starts, title card… “Part 1”? Fuck right off, Disney.

      I’m just annoyed at how all of a sudden people are Wicked fans. It’s been a massive hit broadway show for over 2 decades. It toured in pretty much every American city. I saw it in Des Moines, Iowa for 40 dollars back then. It is not some crazy new franchise people, it was just marketed like crazy because they wanted their own barbie movie.

      But Americans think going to see a live show is pretentions and musicals are stupid. Unless advertisers shove pink and green in their faces for hours on end, then all of a sudden Wicked is the best thing everrrrr
