      I love it because now I’m obsessed with Fiyero but sad for his fortune that he was turned into a scarecrow for him to survive. It reminded me a little of _Turnip Head_ in _Howl’s Moving Castle_ when Sophie kissed him without knowing that he was the lost prince of the enemy kingdom where there was a magical war. But yeah, I also can relate to Elphaba. 😅

    I have a confession to make! I’ve seenThe Wizard of Oz dozens of times, but never Wicked the play and that story. I just know Kristen Chenowith and Idina Manzell were in it.
    However I saw it in theaters today! I give that movie a 10/10. It was good! I think it’s so cool that this movie was done on sound stage and was BUILT no CGI was made.
    Also Cynthia sang live when flying, her vocal coach and the director teamed up and her vocal coach taught breathing exercises to sing while flying in a harness! It’s the things you don’t know that makes this film even better and respect and appreciate.

    The book "The Wizard of Oz" was written in 1900, the movie was released in in 1939 which is based off the book. The book "Wicked" was written by Gregory Maguire in 1995 and is a prequel of the the original book AND 1939 movie. The broadway show "Wicked" opened in 2003 and is loosely based on the 1995 Maguire book. The "Wicked" 2024 movie is based on the 2003 broadway musical which was based on the 1995 book , which was based on the 1900 book and 1939 movie. So overall everything is loosely tied together. Hope this makes sense :)

      Well yeah Wicked is mostly what happened before the wizard of Oz but then ends in the present day wizard of Oz. It's kinda behind the scenes as it doesn't really show Dorothy or Glinda but focuses on Alphaba's "villain" arc, well her portrayed villain arc from her point of view where she isn't the villain at all

    When I watched Wicked today, I saw some Easter eggs and there were so many details put into Wicked that people might not realize. From the beginning till the end, there were parts that reminds viewers of the classic from 1939.

    What's bizarre about all of this is that "Oz" is supposed to be Dorothy Gale's story. She's supposed to be the one who kills the wicked witches and saves the land from slavery and terror. But if you follow the logic of WICKED, Dorothy has no reason to exist. She didn't succeed in killing the Witch of the West - and not only that, she never would have had to in the first place, given that Elphaba was good all along. So, in retrospect, why was Dorothy the heroine of the original story?

    • @caikio1769
      @caikio1769 22 дні тому

      the film wasn't initially supposed to end with it all being a dream -- after all, it's based on a series of books which establish that oz is indeed a real place. but the film studio who produced 'the wizard of oz' insisted that it end that way, because they were concerned that the american public at the time would not be able to conceive of a place as fantastical as oz being real. i don't know how true that actually would've been (surely in the 1930s people could still suspend their disbelief for a couple hours for the sake of enjoying a story?), but the team behind the film were told it couldn't go ahead at all unless they agreed to that condition. knowing this bit of context makes it easier to dismiss the whole dream plot as almost just not really being canon.

      Yea, they are seen because they are heading back to Oz because Dorothy just killed Elphaba. Then we go into the whole “no one mourns the wicked” number where at the end Glinda is asked about their friendship and she takes it back to when they were at Shiz. So the movie goes back in time before Elphaba is “dead”. So yes, they are seen in the beginning of the movie, because the movie starts at the end of what we see in Part 1.

      @Jacearcher27, The china village is in the Baum books, but all these movies are basically different universes from each other, just inspired by Baum in some way. (Wicked being from Gregory Maguire’s novel.)

    • @RavenStarMedia
      @RavenStarMedia Місяць тому

      I honestly see them as different universes due to being made by different companies. Wizard of Oz and Wicked are both made by Universal, while Oz the Great and Powerful was made by Disney.

    Frank Baum actually wrote many books related to the Wizard of Oz, including one about the Tin Woodman. I read this book and it tells us about his backstory. His real name was Nick Chopper. When the Tin Woodman was human he was falling in love with a girl called Nimme Amee who was living the Wicked Witch of the West, he asked the witch for her hand in marriage and she said he could only marry Nimme Amee if he built the couple a home to live in. The Tin Woodman immediately got to work chopping wood, the witch took advantage of this and bewitched the Tin Woodmans axe. Each time he swung his axe it would slip and chop one of his limbs, each time this happend he went to his friend who was a tin smith and built him a tin limb each time. Eventualy he was a man of tin, but now that he didn’t have a heart he couldn’t love Nimme Amee anymore even though she adored his body of tin. So thats when the Tin Woodman sent off to get a heart, but as he was traveling it began to rain and he rusted in place. Thats when he met Dorothy and if you’ve seen the film or watched the movie you would know what happens next. This is not me correcting Wicked, this is just me telling the original tale of the Tin Woodman for those who wanted to know (I will say the whole thing with Boq becoming the scarecrow, and Fiyero becoming the Tin Woodman did infuriate me just a little bit).

    I hope after part 2 of Wicked is done, they will continue to make a complete timeline with the same casts.
    A proper prequel to the Wizard coming to Oz, the fate of the animals, the great drought and the harvest of the Nome King’s emeralds to build the emerald city.
    Remake of Dorothy’s tale with the perspective of Wicked. Expand on the death of Nessa and the actual witch of the North that gave the slippers to Dorothy.
    Leaving room for Glinda and Elphaba to be doing something else…
    Sequel (Return to Oz)
    With the Wizard gone, the Nome king invades to retrieve the emeralds.
    Writers need to make a choice. Either the scarecrow return to oversee Oz shortly before the invasion.
    Or he stayed with “her” instead but came to help the citizens during the invasion.
    Rather than turn to an ornament. The scarecrow could be in hiding after evacuating the kingdom.
    Hiding with her… who I hope Dorothy will finally meet and get to know the truth.
    Rather than just Dorothy alone, the entire cast could come together to free Oz.
