Guys, I'm getting low key obsessed thinking about the Dorothy plot happening in the background during Wicked: For Good, specifically just Fiyero's POV.
Like, Fiyero is already having a doozy of a day and then suddenly there is this small child that his ex sent off to see The Wizard, who he knows can't help, and she's just so sweet and she just wants to go home and seriously Glinda what's with giving the child Nessa's shoes?
But, okay, I guess since she has absolutely no parental supervision I should go with her and make sure she makes it to the Emerald City, right? Maybe I can steer her towards Elphaba and she can come up with something? Right, good plan. This is a plan.
Oh how can I talk? That's...a good question. I came to be this way yesterday? Nope. No memory at all. Only straw up here. Actually, you know what? That's why I'm going to see The Wizard. Yep. No other reason.
And Fiyero does his typical thing of trying to distract from the bad by making other people happy because he really doesn't want to traumatize this girl more than she already has been.
But, slight hiccup in the plan, they run across a Tin Man who is...fuck...that's totally Boq.
And of course Dorothy, sweet girl that she is, wants to help.
Fiyero is going into a panic hoping Boq doesn't recognize him.
Oh he looks familiar? Huh, that's strange, he was basically born yesterday. Nope, can't say I know you. Nothing but straw up here.
So his plan is now derailed because Boq does still believe in The Wizard and no way is Fiyero letting this guy anywhere near Elphaba. Maybe we can ditch him and what do you mean there is a Lion here too?
Anyway, my point is, if/when we get another Wicked movie, this is the midquel I want.
Keep it as much in line with the 1939 Wizard of Oz as possible without contradicting what we know happens in Wicked. Since this is a Wicked movie, in terms of order of priority of continuity Wicked takes precedent but otherwise defer to Wizard of Oz. Have Jonathan Bailey come back to sing "If I Only Had a Brain". And just keep it as much in this man's POV as you can.
(And small aside, if I had a farmhand back home that reminded me of Jonathan Bailey, then yeah, I'd miss him most off all too)
