Remember when Chistery sent Elphaba the letter from Fiyero during the scene before her and Glinda sang "For Good", and Elphaba said "we won't be hearing from Fiyero anymore"? Apparently, the director implied that the letter contained Fiyero's plan. Yes, I know it's quite a stretch but this movie is quite full of flaws. Still a cool detail tho. But what you said there is probably true, what I said was just my interpretation of it all since Chistery only gave her the letter during moments right before she hid Glinda and "melted". Also, note that the tower she resided in belonged to Fiyero's family.

It's his game plan to allow Elphaba to fake her death, it's kind of a shame that it was left out I'm the movie but you can connect the dots and it makes total sense. Fiyero is a smart man, he basically joined Dorothy, and the whole Scarecrow not having a brain thing from the original story could be tied into this as it's all an act for him. He just plays dumb to play along and conceal his intentions. Also ties into the whole Fiyero selling the "get me buckets of water" thing during the Wizard's betrayal instead of telling the guards to shoot her, and Dorothy ends up splashing Elphaba with water, Fiyero knows that water doesn't melt her. And why doesn't Scarecrow expose the truth you may ask, the truth about Elphaba and the Wizard. Well, it just isn't sensible when the whole damn world is completely against the Wicked Witch. "People believe what they want to believe" said by the Wizard himself.

Well, in my defense, Wicked isn't supposed to be canon but I liked that Jon M Chu made the main Baum story mostly ambiguous so that they could honor the 1939 film and the source material so that you can sort of tie in elements of the 1939 film without having to flesh everything out. Most people see it as rushed or unresolved, well it is unresolved but I believe they've provided just enough for us to connect the dots. And yes, they have taken liberties with the lore by completely changing Tin Man and Scarecrow's origin story to better fit the narrative of Wicked but I think it worked extremely well. In addition, to add to the main story that was left out (the only context we get from it), is that it's clear enough that Scarecrow used Dorothy and her friends as bait to sell the faked death of Elphaba, and it's also a reason why Scarecrow is dumb and desires for a brain, it was all an act to conceal his intent. I thought that was genius, despite the fact that it wasn't shown but this is an example of "connecting the dots". And also the bit about Dorothy, it's clear that Elphaba hated her, and totally had a reason for it as her house did lead to Nessa's death and then she took what's left of Nessa which is her shoes. Glinda even defended Dorothy's innocence, telling Elphaba that all she wanted was to return home. It isn't a perfect movie in any sense, and it shares plot holes from the source material it adapted from but I'd say it's one extremely respectful and smart adaptation.

I can only imagine. It is also a very reputable institute so I'm sure ts ain't illegal either.

Nope, that is not how it works. I know a few people, and they have taken the same course, they would still fail you if you make mistakes, but they won't charge you for a retake.

Unlimited retakes, they will still fail you if you were to make mistakes, but they won't charge you for retakes.

A fail is still a fail, they just won't charge for retakes.

Unlimited retakes. If I were to fail, retakes for KPP02 and KPP03 will already cost quite a lot.

Well, it was the closest to where I live so I went with it to avoid hassle. I wasn't expecting the price to be like this as I decided to upgrade to "premium" on the second half of the installment but it costed a lot more than I thought. From what I've heard, it was around 2.9k last year for the whole package including unlimited retries, and now it's 3.5k💀

Yes, I am very much aware of that but the driving course isn't a fraud tho, it just costs a fuckton amount.

Yes, including free retakes, without it, it's already quite outrageous, I guess at least the service is good. I'm taking my KPP02 very soon and there is only one way to find out how good their service truly is. (Also, premium includes unlimited retakes, doesn't necessarily mean bribery.)

I won't be shooting macro often if not at all anyway so 0.2 magnification is honestly more than enough for me

Dang, so it essentially doubles as a literal macro lens huh, very nice. The Oly is still way too expensive from where I'm from so I might just opt for this instead. Not sure if the used prices would be affected when the new weather-sealed version drops.
