 ## Not All Great
 
-* Some awkward transitions to songs
+The film is not perfect. Some of the transitions from speech to song are
+awkward, and there is one that I thought felt was shoehorned. I'm not sure if it
+would have felt better in musical format (it has been at least 10 years (aaah!)
+since I saw the musical), but I definitely thought it felt off in the film.
+
+Some of the lyrics have also been ever so slightly altered, as have some of the
+scenes between Elphaba and the animals. However, while I did notice them, none
+of these were detrimental, in my opinion.
+
+### The Danish Translation
+
+I went to see the film in a Danish cinema, so while the audio track was in
+English, there were also Danish subtitles, including for the songs. The
+translation was done by Trine Dansgaard who -- based off
+[her website](https://trine.dk) --
+is no stranger to musical translations: she's translated both Aladdin The
+Musical, HAIRSPRAY, and Moana/Vaiana 2 from English into Danish. I quickly
+stopped paying any attention whatsoever to the subtitles, as they were generally
+pretty bad, with the song lyrics in particular being plain _awful_ in critical
+places (sorry Trine).
+
 * Probably less noted due to the language size, but the Danish subtitling is
     _awful_
   - Defying Gravity has a completely different message. How do you mess that
       up??
+    * "Give slip på det der tynger mig."
+    * "I can't want it any more"
   - In "The Wizard and I": "making good" could be translated verbatim, which
       would keep its double meaning in Danish. But instead it's "be successful"
       or something like that. :facepalm:
