Yes and no. Mainly no. The worst of the movie came from characters and narratives that simply don't exist in the book

It's so easy to get through these groups (most 3rd places also progress) that it's probably better to play tougher teams early on, experience some real opposition before the knockouts

The original sin of Wicked was splitting it into two films. From that point, the second one was always going to be weaker, thinner, more in need of filler. In that context, it's pretty much as good as anyone could do.

It was a very slick edit! Normally you'd be impressed with that. But given the context, a bit too good
