r/wicked on Reddit: Something I want to know about the Scarecrow and Elphaba during Wicked and The Wizard of Oz
December 1, 2024 -
So in Wicked, we know that Elphaba puts a spell on Fyiero so he wouldn't get hurt, making Fyiero turn into the Scarecrow.
While in The Wizard of Oz, Elphaba is literally seen by trying to harm Scarecrow.
And at the end of Wicked, Scarecrow/Fyiero finds Elphaba and they leave Oz together.
This lead me to to 2 things:
Elphaba knows that Scarecrow is Fyiero, and trys to harm him just to see if her spell actually worked. And Scarecrow is scared of Elphaba/ doesn't who Elphaba is, due to not having any brains. So when Scarecrow has his brains back, he remembers Elphaba, and they run away together.
Elphaba knows that Scarecrow is Fyiero this time, but Scarecrow knows who's Elphaba all this time, and tricks everyone into believing that they don't know each other (but they do, and run away together)
So that's my thoughts on Scarecrow and Elphaba during TWoO. But I think number 1 makes more sense.

Alternatively: What we know of as “The Wizard of Oz” (movie) is basically a propaganda piece based on the story(s) told by the Wizard/Morrible (and not “corrected” by Glinda, at Elphaba’s request). So while the overall story is “accurate”, we can’t necessarily trust the specific details.

Elphaba doesn't know that Fiyero is alive until the flying monkeys bring her his note in act 2.

So, the simple answer to this question is: Both universes aren’t exactly canon at once. It’s a little messy so wizard of oz isn’t fully canon to wicked, and wicked isn’t fully canon to wizard of oz. In the wicked universe, most fans have to come to the agreed conclusion that the scarecrow (fiyero) teams up with dorothy to defeat the wicked witch so he can find her. He pretends to hate her and want her dead so that not only can he warn her about their plans in advance, and then come to the ultimate solution to fake her death with this opportunity, but that dorothy and the others will lead him straight back to elpheba.

August 30, 2024Is Fiyero was the scarecrow, why did he join forces with Dorothy?
It is speculated that it's to keep Elphaba safe. The idea of using water to melt her is commonly believed by people in Oz, but he knows it's fake. He has some inside influence and information with those who want her dead. More on reddit.com

Wicked: For Good Reveals Who the Iconic Scarecrow from Oz *Actually* Is...
The spell results in Fiyero turning into a Scarecrow, and to be fair, his flesh won't be torn (because he has none), his blood won't stain (because he has none), and his bones won't break (because he has none). He will also feel no pain, because he's got no brain and a head full of straw. RELATED: Everything to Know About the Wicked: For Good Soundtrack - Vinyl, Streaming Details · Lucky for Fiyero, Bailey retains his Sexiest Man Alive title even as a Scarecrow, and Elphaba is the last person who's ever going to judge someone for their (lack of) skin.

November 3, 2024 - Elphaba technically accomplishes all this, with the side effect of Fiyero becoming the Scarecrow. It's established that magic is unreliable in Wicked, and Elphaba has had similar trouble with spells before.

How One Wicked Character Ends Up As The Scarecrow In The Wizard Of Oz - SlashFilm
January 19, 2025 - While hiding in a remote forest, Fiyero and Elphaba sing a duet, "As Long As You're Mine," revealing that they love each other ... but after Elphaba is forced to try and save her sister Nessarose (played by the delightful newcomer Marissa Bode in "Wicked: Part One"), Fiyero ends up captured by the Wizard. Elphaba believes that Fiyero is dead and casts a spell to try and save his life; since he's not dead, the spell transforms him into the Scarecrow, and after Elphaba fakes her death by water (at Dorothy's hands) using a handy trapdoor, Fiyero and Elphaba run away together as the musical ends.
