  As someone who works as a graphic designer for film and has been the person designing what goes on a chalkboard (which is almost always done without ANY input from writers due to lack of time in the filming schedule), thank you for your attention to a graphic that undoubtably started as nothing more than a throwaway idea (&quot;and there&apos;ll be a history lesson on the chalkboard&quot;) but was very clearly created by a designer who DID. THEIR. RESEARCH. and for that, I applaud them, and you. Great work!

  Theory: black is the house color for the governor of Munchkinland. It would certainly stand out as different in color-saturated Munchkinland, black is somewhat difficult to achieve with natural dyes as, much like green, it requires overdyeing and is thus expensive, and Elphaba choosing it is a reflection of her status as the eldest and heir to her family&apos;s title, whether her father likes it or not.

  The talent of a youtube creator can be rated by their ability to make me watch hourslong videos about franchises I have little experience with and less than no interest in, and feel that it was time well spent.

  Along these lines, Glinda not wearing green makes sense per the propoganda machine. She’s supposed to be the Wizard’s ally, not his subordinate. Fiyero fills the role of powerful subordinate—the prince of a subject nation accepting the rule of his superior—and thus gets the emerald uniform. Glinda is presented as someone just as powerful as the Wizard who still recognizes his superiority without question. She needs to stand out to make the Wizard unquestionable.

  honestly, the idea that Madam Morrible is ACTVELY HELPING THE WIZARD KEEP THE DROUGHT AWAY actually makes a LOT of sense, considering the info of the great impassible desert, the vast fields of agriculture, and we SAW HER literally generate a thunderstorm and a tornado

  Random idea but what if the Gillikin/Ozzian dialect is actually just a bastardization of words that were introduced to Ozz by the wizard, and the reason their usage is so odd is because the wizard just uses as many fancy sounding words as he can while not fully understanding their correct usage himself? Like it&apos;s just everyone trying to sound fancy by using wizard words and no one can correct them because no one actually fully understands what they&apos;re supposed to mean or how the grammar is supposed to work.

  Kudos to Bernadette. This is satire on multiple levels. From satirizing &nbsp;long form video journalism to satirizing of historical scholarship to satirizing your own historical costume expertise. We haven’t even gotten to the layers of which Oz is the original source and deciding the film is 😮. Love it. You have surpassed yourself.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P_d5gm_sYA&amp;t=4807">1:20:07</a> This is a real actual life style of typewriter that was in use in our world. It‘s called the AEG mignon. You use the wand to point at the letter you want, which turns the type barrel to the appropriate letter. When you press the button, it pushes the type barrel onto the color ribbon and down on the paper. <br>The type barrel can be switched out, so it was possible to have one typewriter using different fonts and especially different alphabets. <br>I own one, it‘s super nifty. I geeked out quite hard when seeing it in the movie.
