I believe that it’s a team of four people, each with strengths and weaknesses who are on a common journey and have teamed up against the elements and a vengeful antagonist while on a journey to meet a common consultant.
I can’t speak for Scarecrow and Lion, but in the book the tin man absolutely had prior business with the WWW that didn’t end well.
All four of the travelers had a problem with no clear answer and were going to ask the Wizard who might have some sound advice. So it’s a road trip for folks with a common destination
Also the flying monkeys were their own people and geased to obey the amulet, which WWW possessed.
Also, the solution really was the friends they made along the way. If I were Dorothy, I’d rather be there than Kansas.
Not to mention that Dorothy is a little girl; not a woman! (Unless you abide by the Game of Thrones lore.) And the lion is not a man, so…
In the end doesnt another dude step in and fix most issues fairly easily?
And she wouldn’t have even found these broken guys had she not straight up murdered someone to begin with and then stolen their shoes
I wouldn’t exactly call being trapped in a house that was lifted by a tornado and dropped on someone’s head “murder” in the classical sense. And it’s not like the witch was going to need those shoes anymore. Besides, Dorothy didn’t steal the shoes, the “Good” Witch Of The North looted them off the dead body and gave them to Dorothy. Are you going to turn down shoes from some weirdo that just pulled them off a dead body like it wasn’t the first time that’s happened?
That’s fair. I would not actively seek to upset that person
I’m gonna be honest. Someone puts shoes on me without me knowing and then asserts that they are magic? I’m taking the shoes. They’re mine now.
Knowingly accepting stolen property is a misdemeanor that carries with it jail time, a fine, restitution or probation. Depending on what those ruby red slippers were valued at, it would be a felony.
She literally had just came out of a house that was thrown far away from her home town by a tornado. She was likely traumatized, in shock, and didn’t know what was going on. She’s surrounded by a bunch of little people following a weirdo shoe looter that hands her shoes, which she needs as she has none because hers were taken by a tornado. I think any judge would understand the circumstances and let her off.
Typical radical-Oz talk.
(Edit: Don’t take me seriously.)
Don’t confuse Leela with Dorothy
Does he? I thought the whole point was they all solve their own problems. And then he fucks up getting her home.
Man helps women. Bad.
Woman helps men. Bad.With the Internet, you just cannot win :D
I want to believe that its just people love to removed and complain, and they end up being a vocal minority.
also being reactionary is easy clicks and lols
Woman helps women destroy bad men and rule good men.
“As for you, young lady, you want to go home, right?”
“No, not anymore. I wanna stay here and become the new Wicked Witch.”
“Nonsense. Now click your big, honking boots together three times and wish to go home to Kansas, to live in poverty with your dirt-farming, tee-totalling aunt and uncle!”
“Uh, all right. Here I go…”
It’s a story a pooling together making up for each others weaknesses and work as a team. in the end finding with some confidence or perspective from the people around them they may have had it in them all along but sometimes we need someone to show us the way. It’s a story how we are a collective people who are all individuals within them.
Though I realize the original post is just an easy joke
I only saw the movie once in elementary school, and I was bored throughout, but doesn’t she offer to help them? Like, because she’s a good person?
I think the implication is that a woman exists to help others, rather than herself. That you’re only good if you prioritize the men in your life - like you mentioned yourself.
I don’t agree, but see the link.
I can see that
Two women fight to the death over shoes.
IDK about this one. The sequel (which is definitely canon /s) she lives in a mental institution from her severe delusions. at the end of the original she wakes up from her episode surrounded by loving family and all of those broken fantasy men are farm hands concerned about her. - just a joke
Ugh. Just had a long talk with my 14yo tonight about how she won’t be able to fix guys.
Shouldn’t it just be Wary?
LoL, wait’ll she finds out about Jinjur. 🤣
Isn’t that one of the Duggar children?
You should try reading the books.
