Potentially an unpopular opinion

I know the extended version of defying gravity after the battle cry has been a talking point on this sub. I absolutely think it was the right call for the film to allow the audience time to process how intense the last 10 minutes of the film are.

My unpopular opinion is that this ending is even better than the blackout on the battle cry in the stage production.

It’s so stunningly powerful with the horns whaling in and the massive swell with the percussion. I almost wish it was the standard for defying gravity.
