You can't leave because you can't resist this. Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero Tigelaar in Wicked: For Good (2025) | written by Winnie Holzman & Dana Fox & directed by Jon M. Chu

Friendly reminder to all that hate that “atrocious love triangle” in the movie/musical because they think Its Fiyero coming between Elphaba and Glinda, the love triangle was added in the second act to ADD GLINDA to the romantic plot, not the other way around.

They paid tribute to this in the first movie

Go find some of the earliest outlines of the musical, their romance has not changed since the inception but Glinda’s role has, she absorbed both Sarima and Dorothy’s roles (yes they were initially supposed to be characters in the musical) and became more of an antagonist/antihero than initially intended in the second act having only about 2-3 scenes equal to Nessa.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the story as it is today, and I find the evolution of the show incredibly interesting, I’m just incredibly tired of these false narratives painting characters as unimportant as every character is important in Wicked to make the story work. You might not like them, but they matter just the same.

"Lalala, Fiyero can't handle all that!" [Gelphies in regard to the ALAYM leak... and in general] WRONG *beats you with sticks*

HE'S LITERALLY THE ONLY PERSON IN OZ WHO CAN HANDLE ALL THAT. THAT'S THE ENTIRE POINT.

The Evolutions of Glinda the Good:

Wizard of Oz book: A red-haired, old woman who is very beautiful and wears white, the color of goodness. Very magical. Gives Dorothy silver slippers.

Wizard of Oz movie: A red haired, old woman who wears a pink princess dress because pink, very magical, and gives Dorothy ruby slippers.

Wicked book: A blonde, young woman who’s pretty shallow and trying to get ahead in the world. Only does that one spell in book four iirc. Bisexual disaster, gives Dorothy the silver slippers.

Wicked musical: A blonde, shallow, popular girl who has everything and is pretty spoiled. No magic. Bisexual disaster, a lot more relevant than the book. Gives Dorothy silver slippers.

Well Glinda, I don’t know who can say if you’ve been changed for the better, but you’ve certainly been changed for good.

We’re getting an eight part podcast on the making of Wicked and Wicked For Good, hosted by Vanity Fair’s Chris Murphy. New episodes each Thursday, starting tomorrow!
