For me, it's Wicked.

I generally like musicals, and I watched both the movie and the musical (w/ my SO, who loved it), and neither clicked for me. I felt the musical fell apart in the second half (I didn't like the ending at all), and according to my SO, most of my complaints are where it deviated from the book. The movie was a bit better (and I'll probably watch the second one, just to compare), but I still felt it was a bit generic. It goes way too hard on DEI concepts (skin color), and the characters seemed a bit shallow. I hope the second movie draws more from the book than the musical. It wasn't "bad," it was just pretty mid for me, not the knockout experience it was claimed to be.

The music was pretty good though, I'll give it that.
