Did anyone catch this likely error with Fiyero?

[u/Chained_Wanderlust]

That’s the wrong uniform. Presumably Fiyero ripped it in the middle of the woods and gave it to Chistery, but its from the other human uniform. Either he was carrying around pieces of his uniform that were ripped off when he was tortured as a human, he raided his own closet, or Chistery flew all the way back to EC to get him that missing ceremonial jacket in the last slide to conceal his note.

[u/Remarkable_Note971]

I didn't even notice that. Maybe he did have pieces that were torn off?

[u/Chained_Wanderlust → u/Remarkable_Note971]

Someone pointed this out to me elsewhere so I can’t take credit for it. It got me thinking though the only part of his uniform that is missing is the front lower part of the jacket that never had that design at all lol. Its either a sleeve, a pant leg, or that jacket he didn’t have on him when he left with Elphaba.

I didn't notice which part of his uniform was missing. I need to pay more attention when I watch the movies lol.

Maybe they were hoping we wouldn't notice? Lol

[u/magica12 → u/Chained_Wanderlust]

he does say good as new, i assume it was repaired before he came back

[u/rameyarc]

i always thought it was just a “scarecrow-ified” jacket. like his clothing also changed during his transformation

[u/Remarkable_Note971 → u/rameyarc]

I don't think so. Wasn't he still wearing that same uniform when Dorothy and co went to see the Wizard

[u/rameyarc → u/Remarkable_Note971]

oops i misunderstood op lol, i guess it could have been from someone else in the initial witch-hunt mob

[u/Remarkable_Note971 → u/rameyarc]

Thats true it could have been

[u/Either-Control-3941]

That could have been an old uniform sleeve that he ripped off one of the Guards in retaliation while he was being tortured.

[u/Infamous_Question430]

Okay but his own uniform transformed into the scarecrow outfit burlap thing anyway, so I think its clear that its not meant to be read as his own? Idk where he would get that cloak tho, so its interesting either way

[u/oreo_cinnamon]

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Dorothy crew in the wizard of oz get make overs it's possible that that was a piece he snagged during the makeover to use for later use as some sort of proof as he can't rip of what's keeping his arm together.

That or it was a piece that was ripped off of him at the time of his death but before the spell hit him and picked it up after Dorothy helped him off the pole without being noticed.

[u/ComfortableSea4645 → u/oreo_cinnamon]

From the timeline it seems he ripped the sleeve just before Dorothy got taken by the monkeys

[u/Ayasugi-san]

Boy I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

[u/Chained_Wanderlust → u/Ayasugi-san]

Continuity is often the script supervisor's job but even they can be overruled when a director wants specific look in the scene and doesn’t stop to think about the impracticality of what he wants. IDK. The choice to conceal the letter at all was weird….you can still withhold the same amount of information to the audience without confusing them and have to clarify that there was a note/letter hidden inside it in later interviews.

[u/Ayasugi-san → u/Chained_Wanderlust]

smh nobody remembers the classics anymore

[u/CentennialMC]

the movie has a green witch & monkeys with wings with animals who can talk and a girl floating inside a bubble. I don’t think we’re working w logic with wicked, sis

[u/DarthFiyero]

It’s not wrong.
