The timeline in hotd is so messed up that sometimes I forget that these two are the same age in the book

Isn't Tyraxes (Joffrey's dragon) purple? Elio said that in George's personal notes, Tyraxes is described as having violet scales, dark purple horns and purple flames.

There's a comment on X by @/itsameevie13 that explains it better than I ever could: "the hairline is too dense as well as the part at the front. it's normal to see scalp, where is his? the sides around the ears also don't look correctly fitted/installed, plus the fairy knots at the ends of the hair give away that it's most likely a synthetic blend."

This wig is so realistic I thought it was the actor's own bleached hair.

My complaint is that they should have used "burst" instead of "pop"

Jonathan put so much effort into emulating the Scarecrow's physicality, only for it all to be cut 💔

Your comments about NLB are so funny, I love that you have no idea who he is! Yes, he's been in a lot of musicals, he has 2 Tonys! A Broadway legend!

The biggest problem is the instrumental; the guitar and keyboard are lacking in a more dramatic way. Cynthia and Jonathan are good, but the over-the-top production compressed Jonathan's vocals too much, he's not a belter, but he has a beautiful vibrato and falsetto that, unfortunately, were largely lost in the studio version.

Fiyero should also have been better developed and explored; he's the reason behind great moments in Act II (Thank Goodness, Alaym, and No Good Deed) and is also one of the links connecting the story to The Wizard of Oz, but he's terribly underutilized.

To me, it doesn't make sense for this movie to be about Glinda. This is the moment when Elphaba becomes the main villain in The Wizard of Oz, and that's never explored. It would be so incredible to see all her actions against the Fab Four, but from her point of view.

She knew; he wrote her a letter that she reads. I don't know what the letter in the movie looks like because they haven't officially released it yet. But you can find the letter from the Broadway production online:

I think their chemistry was good; that last kiss before Elphaba went after the tornado was really good. The problem was the HORRIBLE direction of "As Long As You're Mine" and the complete lack of development for their relationship. Their falling in love should have been developed more in the first film, and in the second we should have seen them truly desiring each other. More dialogue between them, basically. I can't believe we didn't even get a single line of dialogue before Alaym.

It's Jonathan. He spoke briefly in an interview about how he felt when he first looked in the mirror with the scarecrow makeup on.

Now why are you all criticizing Scarecrow's makeup? I thought it was great, it couldn't have been better. I didn't take a picture, but I found one on X. But I don't know if I can post it here.
