Well, it depends on medium.
I love the novel Wicked AND I love the film of Wizard of Oz. I don't actually care for the stage show of either to any great significance. The muiscal stage version of Wizard of Oz is incredibly long and tedious. Wicked's stage version takes too many "nice" variations to the story, but I don't hate it.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
