Actually come to think of it, it’s probably just that they haven’t added the CG yet.

Interesting that the non-humans have disappeared, aside from Granny.

Heyy Cinders! Just had to sound off that you have great taste in VNs.
I also agree there was a weird disparity between those two scenes. Maybe he wanted people to think he was gone so they could start over without him.

I kind of liked the idea that Elphaba’s wickedness was “manufactured” though, it fit so well with the theme and Oz talking about how back where he lives, they call it “History”. The musical was actually clever in ways the book fans don’t give it credit for. They both took different approaches.
I wouldn’t describe musical Elphaba as simply a “good girl” either.

I just realised something… if they’re to do Sleeping Beauty… they have Blue, Green, and Black, but no Pink/Red… what if the third Fairy was Glinda?

I’m honestly not sure we should believe much of what’s written right now. One source is claiming Robbie Kay said the character is Elphaba, and another is claiming she’s neither Elphaba or Theodora “because sources”.
We’ll have to wait and see.
Either way I think given some of the above posts it’ll likely be influenced more by Wicked storywise than OtGaP., though possibly renaming the character and there may/may not be a Glinda type character.

Also this explains why Maleficent had the Mirror to wonderland, because of Cora! Perhaps she also bore a grudge against her rival and enjoyed watching her suffer.

I prefer being born green because we’re often given these tales of people who turn in some way “ugly” or less than human looking as a metaphor for them becoming evil. I prefer Wicked’s take on the idea of them always being that way and that was part of the reason they ended up that way to begin with. It kind of fits for example with the media’s narrative of conflating people who are different in someway(transgendered for example, thinking of a recent example) with people who are hostile or dangerous. That sort of othering happens to much, it’s part of the reason I liked Wicked’s take on it.
Plus we already had Rumple who turned… green-ish due to magical corruption.
Maybe Regina or Cora had a Nessarose like role or is the Witch of the East and was the “preferred child” which is part of the reason she’s so spiteful towards her. Maybe WWW was kept locked in a tower. Maybe Rapunzel is WWW’s daughter, who inherits a magical mutation(the hair)? Maybe this has something to do with why The Blue Fairy doesn’t allow interbreeding?(which was also a theme in the Wicked novel).
Actually I had the idea that WWW could be Henry’s bastard with Maleficent, which is why Cora kept her locked up in the tower. That would mirror Wicked as well, as well as kind of mirroring the ongoing plotline in Wonderland with Jafar and his father(previously the focus in Once has been on mothers). This is also why Blue Fairy doesn’t like crossbreeding(again, mirroring Book!Wicked but not outright referencing it). Also – Maleficent originally had green skin. I’m thinking when she gave birth, the curse(probably originally the blue Fairy’s fault) passed onto her instead.
This could also explain the young actress cast. Since they can’t use Kirstin, they’d show younger Maleficent instead, which also ties into the return of Aurora.
