and not lining up, as a breaking point for the wizard and Morrible no longer being on the same page, forcing both to leave before the truth comes out, leading to the transition of power. It was way too tidy of a wrap up and fizzles out with a oh, we're actually good now! Fiero's first lines sum how

that could have been a clue with through the tornado's path of destruction to get to the sister, lending weight to the scene with it razing the areas showing the same signs of drought as when the wizard first arrived. As the last straw for Morrible to sway public opinion with the "reasons" piling

I know I promised an article about Wicked ages ago. Between life and work I'm terrible with side project deadlines. I promise to publish that well before Wicked 2 comes out, as well as the one connecting Treasure Planet, Bruce Lee, and Kevin Conroy's Batman. I had to rewrite it after KPOP Demon
