Part 7/9:
As the film's failure becomes undeniable, the industry appears to be shifting gears, now openly acknowledging the disaster. Articles have started to surface that dissect the flaws: weak songs, strange casting choices, and a disconnect with mainstream audiences.

The screenwriter and producer discussions reveal an internal acknowledgment—albeit grudging—that Wicked for Good was an ambitious but ultimately misguided project. This admission, though late in the game, marks a notable shift from earlier, more optimistic narratives.
