r/wicked on Reddit: Are the scarecrow, tin man, and cowardly lion aware of who they are?
November 25, 2024 -

Ok I’m having a tough time properly phrasing the question, my words aren’t wording right now so forgive me.

What i mean is, does the scarecrow know that the tin man is Boq? Does the tin man know that the scarecrow is Fiyero? Are they just pretending to not know each other for the sake of Dorothy, or do they really just not recognize each other and assume they’re strangers?

I guess that includes the wizard too since Fiyero worked for him. Does he not know that the scarecrow is his once trusted captain of the guard (or whatever he was)?

In the musical, Boq seems to know who the cowardly lion is and his backstory with Elphaba, or at least the version they believe where she kidnapped him instead of saving him.

Maybe that question will be answered in part 2, idk. I’m just wondering if maybe it’s mentioned anywhere in the book or something?

What happens to the Tin Man after the end of Wicked
I imagine he becomes a beloved public figure. In WoZ, the Wizard told him "having a heart is not about how much he loves, but how much he is loved". So in Wicked world, that can be reinterpreted as him moving on from Glinda, and instead embracing the adoration from Oz citizens. More on reddit.com

Scarecrow and Tin Man in the movie
Spoiler, ahead. Yes, the tinman and scarecrow are boq and fiyero. When we see the Fab Four (five including Toto) we are seeing boq and fiyero. That makes the horse rider a red herring. Who could it be? It’s an obvious deviation from the way the stage musical ending is set that, I believe, will work in the films favor. I bet the horse rider is Elphaba, going to meet Fiyero after faking her death More on reddit.com

How One Wicked Character Becomes The Tin Man In The Wizard Of Oz - SlashFilm
January 25, 2025 - Nobody besides Bode and Jon M. Chu knows quite how this will change in "Wicked: For Good," but the point in the musical is that Boq, seeing Nessarose walk, abruptly decides that she no longer "needs" him and tries to leave to be with Glinda. In a rage, Nessarose casts a spell that's supposed to keep Boq with her by focusing on his heart, but all she ends up doing is shrinking his heart because it belongs to Glinda. In order to save his life, Elphaba casts a spell of her own, turning Boq into the Tin Man (so that he no longer requires a heart to stay alive).
