Jonathan Bailey As Fiyero Tigelaar In Wicked (Part One)

JONATHAN BAILEY as Fiyero Tigelaar Wicked (2024), dir. Jon M. Chu

Saw the new movie Wicked recently and it made me fall in love with Fiyero and Elphaba all over again. T_T But now I gotta wait another year to see the movie rendition of "As Long as You're Mine" and it's gonna be torture.

Not only is he giving her a flower he’s giving her his heart. ♥️

I hope you are thinking pure thoughts, considering we are returning to our family home. I am simply enjoying the view of my ravishing wife and soon-to-be mother of my child.

Okay, but hear me out - In the movie, the sequence of the scenes where Elphaba learns about the horrific treatment of Animals and then meets Fiyero is soooo important. This transition between the two scenes highlights an emotional turning point for Elphaba. Dr. Dillamond's revelations intensify her awareness of injustice, leaving her searching for a way to act. Enter Fiyero, who not only contrasts the bleakness of the previous scene with his carefree presence but also will ultimately influence Elphaba's growth. As we know, eventually Fiyero is a foil to encourage Elphaba to transform her ideals into action, giving her the courage to make her voice heard. The scene order underscores how pivotal Fiyero's presence is in shaping Elphaba's journey from bystander to the unlimited badass she becomes later on. And Jonathan Bailey's version of Fiyero is much softer and is given a lot more space to be kind than stage!Fiyero, and I just really love how that, in contrast to the cruelty described in the previous scene just highlights the differences but also ties them together for Elphaba's story.

A detail I love that they added for the film is the way Fiyero talks to/about his horse using "we" instead of "I". It's a wonderful little indication that he's going to be an ally in the fight for animal rights.
