It's a fantasy world. The main character is a green chick. I'm pretty sure a black Fiyero would not make any difference whatsoever.

We live in the real world where representation does matter. Also in the book people do put down Fieyro for his looks, "I wouldn't want to have skin the colour of shit," one says.

In the musical he dates a blonde socialite for a while, black men usually aren't allowed to date white women still in movies unless it's a story about overcoming bigotry.

My bad, I never read the book. I meant my comment to say that I don't see a good reason *not* to have Fiyero played by a black man (or a man of any race, color, or creed so long as they can actually sing in a musical adaptation).

Oops, sorry.

I guess I've just gotten so used to people defending the white washing in The Last Airbender "it's not China it's fantasy world inspired by China, who says they HAVE to be Chinese", I misunderstood what you were trying o say.

Sorry again.

Oh, it's absolutely no problem, I can totally see now how my comment is easily misread.

I misread that as "green chicken." I was like "whoa."

There is one weird Spanish "Return to Oz," tie-ih book that recycles old Disney designs and Bellina the Yellow Hen is instead a teal.
