Fiyero Tiggular did not sing the entirety of Dancing Through Life — fear infested depression disguised as nihilistic warts and all — for so many to just write him off as the handsome but shallow popular guy

#guess who went to see Part 1 in theatres #seen one too many reviews and analysis that only mention that he’s hot and good at dancing and singing #one analyzer barely drew parallels between the lyrics and consciously staying ignorant under the rise of fascism #and like yes that is a big theme too but how are you not connecting the dots #the song doesn’t just exist to represent an important subject it is sung by Fiyero for a reason #it’s supposed to inform his character as well #just like Glinda isn’t really happy when she sings Thank Goodness but pretends to in order to keep up appearances #Fiyero sings this song to present himself as shallow and easy going instead of as downright unhappy as he is #ugh I know there are countless people who get this #I just wish the youtube essayists making 40 min + videos did too #fiyero tiggular #wicked the musical #wicked #wicked discourse #the potato rants in the tags
