At least in the play, the wicked witch admits that she doesn’t know what she’s doing. She admits that she’s limited and Glenda is the powerful one. At least does she do it? Does she do it in the movie? I highly doubt that’s gonna happen.
To be fair, the wizard was already a bastard. He literally genderbends a baby in secret to ensure he rules and lobotomised a cat. But, yeah, the yellow brick road leads to a court case this time.
Yeah, you have to think of Wicked as an Elseworlds/What-If/AU Oz story. If you try to treat it as a genuine prequel it will break your brain and make you mad.
Yeah. Wicked does not work as a prequel to L. Frank Baum’s book at all. It doesn’t even really work as a prequel to the 1939 movie. It’s a fan fiction based on the premise of what if the Wicked Witch of the West were actually the real hero of the story
@@danielrobertlockett Oz actually had cell phones before anyone else. No, really. In the book Tik-Tok of Oz, the Scarecrow pulls a "portable transceiver" or something out of his pocket and contacts Ozma in the Emerald City.
I'd love to see that skit. And depending of if the uploader had read the Oz books, I'd love to see the reactions of the different characters (Ozma, Tik-Tok, the Woggle Bug, the Wizard (since as of the 4th book he had come to live in Oz permanently), the Patchwork Girl, Ojo, and Trot and Cap'n Bill) to Wicked.
@@MichaelBoothofOz2009 Considering that Ozma's father was exiled in a coup by the Wizard, and she was turned into a boy against her will and held as a slave for years, she won't mind the wizard being portrayed as the villain.
HEY. No, they DID NOT *_all_* get drugged in the field of poppies. Scarecrow and Tin Man were immune: it didn’t affect them, because they are not flesh and blood creatures. Unlike Dorothy, Toto and the Lion, who went to sleep- while the other two… panicked.
Thank you! Kinda bugs me when the two try and connect the two. I love them both but they’re both they’re own their own thing. I mean if Wicked was connected to the MGM film why would Elphaba and Feyaro set each other on fire!? The tin man didn’t have a personal vendetta against the witch of the west. And the tin man and lion didn’t know each other before meeting in the woods unlike the musical where they were apart of the same mob.
Why did they make her an animal rights activist when she has an army of flying monkeys and kidnapped a dog. They could have chosen any other aspect but animals.
the witch who appears in a single chapter wins a movie, the other more important characters who appear in the other 13 books in the franchise gaining nothing (sorry Ozma, Nome king and the others)
IKR? I said something to a friend about the other books in the series and she replied "OMG! When are those going to come out?!?" Uh, over 100 years ago...?
Because wicked isn't about the wizard of oz book, it was more inspired by the movie, since it was more well known and thus the writer based wicked on that story. Hence why Glinda is the one to greet Dorothy and tell her to follow the road (while in the book it was another witch), and some other stuff that are clearly inspired by the movie, not the book
What actually happened when Wizard of oz Glinda seeing that movie = And that movie just made me look gay for the wicked witch while simultaneously making me seem desperate for the scare crow.
In Glinda of Oz, she lives in a no boys allowed castle surrounded by beautiful women at her beck and call. I don’t think she’s concerned about appearing gay.
Even though Wicked is entirely someone's AU fanfic version of the Wizard of Oz, the fact that Elphaba | The Wicked Witch of the West is still going to become at least PERCEIVED as the villain who Dorothy's an absolute hero for killing after clearly being as justice-oriented as she is in Part 1 still makes me beyond sad-like, seriously, a version of Wicked where Elphaba actually became about as twisted, sadistic, and downright evil as the Wicked Witch of the West is in Baum's original book(s) and most other adaptations of them would pretty much be an actually-good fantasy musical version of Joker. Like, seriously, I think Wicked Part I ended up being a HARDER watch for me because while I know the BASIC plot beats of Wicked, including how it diverges from the original book(s) and 1939 film it alleges it's a prequel to, I don't know ALL the details of how this version's Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba, turns from who she is at the end of Part I into the (allegedly) utterly irredeemable bona fide monster she is in the original books and most other Oz adaptations so when Elphaba visibly fucking loses it when the Wizard and Morrible elaborate to her that tightening persecution of Oz's animals using Elphaba's powers is their plan to ensure that Oz is united against a tangible common enemy it VERY MUCH came across as her having her Joker moment to me to devastating effect.
When I first started doing sketch comedy on TikTok and Insta I always used stock images. Using these AI ones is SO much better, but there's always at least one area of the image that is really frightening 😂😂 you should see some of the AI attempts I go through before getting the ones I actually use 😂
@@danielrobertlockett Honestly If you're going to use AI backgrounds, I say go for the ones that make it obvious with lots of weird artifacting. Makes things more interesting :D
I do believe it’s the first or second page of the wicked book where a carriage is said to be drawn by four horses. If you know Oz lore, that doesn’t check out.
I hate to break it to you scarecrow. You are the wicked witch, aka Alphaba's love interest. Scarecrow, you are fiyero. You are in a love triangle with Galinda The Good Witch, and Alphaba The Wicked witch......and mabey Dorthy. Something weird was going on between Scarecrow and her.
When I was a baby, my mom dressed the entire family up as “Wizard of Oz” characters for Halloween. I was Dorothy, she was the Wicked Witch, my dad was the Scarecrow (and no, this wasn’t a stealth nod to “Wicked;” this was the year before the musical premiered and Fiyero and the Scarecrow were separate characters in the book), and our dogs were the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion. Funnily enough, my little sister, who’s two years younger than me, was the one who grew up absolutely obsessed with “The Wizard of Oz.” She made me watch the movie until I’d practically memorized it.
Not really, the wicked witch of the west in the Wizard of Oz book is nothing like the one from the 1939 movie that's the version that the original Wicked novel was based on.
You liked it, Tin Man? I have some very bad news for you regarding the second act. And Scarecrow, you might want to skip the second act entirely, because if you were outraged by Act I, Act II is going to induce an aneurysm in your recently acquired brain.
@@danielrobertlockett 🤷♂️😄 Well, when it comes to using props, it *is* easier to use a device that you actually have as a than to invent a fictional substitute.
Except in the story of Wicked she’s not evil. She’s a threat to those in power who looks different and bucks norms. They use their power to propagandize and make ordinary people believe she’s evil to keep their hold on power.
AND THE FACT THAT THE SCARECROW IS ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED WITH ELPHABA IN WICKED TOO
Well and truly burned by his ex
@@danielrobertlockett burned by his ex is wild
And Scraps, who is scareceow's canonical love interest, was thrown aside, poor things
@@mats7264 yeah :’)
Spoilers
I was 10 when I saw Wicked on Broadway as part of a school field trip. Even then I was asking myself "But why did she set her boyfriend on fire?"
At least in the play, the wicked witch admits that she doesn’t know what she’s doing. She admits that she’s limited and Glenda is the powerful one. At least does she do it? Does she do it in the movie? I highly doubt that’s gonna happen.

These two are gonna FLIP when they see the sequel. Tin Man might be a bit miffed to find out who becomes him in that part of the story.
I think they'll certainly be doing another reaction video!
Don't forget the part where she had her monkeys tear them apart and kidnap the lion to make him drive her chariot (that's from the original book).
Cowardly lion loves a passive aggressive lawsuit 😂
Never underestimate those lollipop paralegals
Funny that the tin man and the scarecrow were the two who WEREN'T drugged in the poppy field tho
I always just figured it was because they weren’t a human or an animal.
Well, obviously. They're not made of meat, so why would meatbag drugs work on them
@@Jimmersaunt because that's the most obvious explanation
and that's the explanation in the book

@@matityaloran9157It's a movie based on a musical based on a book based on a movie based on a book
@ True
@@matityaloran9157 Exactly! It actively contradicts the backstories provided in the books. It's a separate thing.
Glad I wasn't the only one to see it because there are so many holes in the story.
Just wait until part two comes out
Hopefully we'll find out if the Lollipop paralegal finished his lollipop!
That’s gonna be even worse this whole thing ridiculous.
I love how the Tin Man called her DAHR-Oh-thee like in the movie
That’s the actor’s Boston accent coming through
This is pretty solid.
Do more videos in this style.
‘This one is going to give you rust!’😂
Poor Tin Man 😂
Project Steve : over 1000 scientists working in related fields and named "Steve" affirm evolution.
Boq: I quite liked it!
Fiyero: She tried to set me on fire!
Her trying to set him on fire becomes much funnier when you know who the scarecrow really is and how he ended up the scarecrow.
I always tought of Wicked like a musical, based on a fanfic of a book.
😂😂😂😂
Omg the asbestos reference🫣😅
It had to be in there 😂
poor dorothy lol
It’s the flip phone that tweets for me 😂
Oz really is a magical place 😂😂
@@danielrobertlockett Oz actually had cell phones before anyone else. No, really. In the book Tik-Tok of Oz, the Scarecrow pulls a "portable transceiver" or something out of his pocket and contacts Ozma in the Emerald City.

What about the TRUE Oz villain, THE NOME KING? What will HE think about the WICKED nonsense?
Sounds like I need to do another sketch 😂

This is good though Wicked isn’t canon to the OG book. Wizard of Oz does have sequels. It’s just Wicked isn’t one of them.
Public domain
Which really brings the question, why write an origin story when there’s already a canon origin story?
@@pisces2569Why write anything? For fun. Oz is in the public domain, so go nuts with it.
The 'Wicked Years' series of books is like an Elseworlds take on Oz mythos.
@@pisces2569cuz it's an AU, it isn't meant to fit the canon story. It was basically fanfiction (to put it plainly)
Thank you! Kinda bugs me when the two try and connect the two. I love them both but they’re both they’re own their own thing.
I mean if Wicked was connected to the MGM film why would Elphaba and Feyaro set each other on fire!? The tin man didn’t have a personal vendetta against the witch of the west.

@@EvieRawlings Agreed. They're both great separately, but make no sense together.
Gosh I hate movies that take pre-established villains and turn them into heroes. I think it sends a bad message.
Wicked is a fun movie/broadway musical but it reads like fanfiction.
@@pisces2569 It's literally a College AU with Rare-Pair/Crack ships.
@@oliviastratton2169it's sort of fanfic inspired by another fanfic (the Wicked books) which were inspired by the movie version of a book... Ig?
Well, yes. That’s because it IS fanfiction.
Tin Man was Glinda's simp 😂
Why did they make her an animal rights activist when she has an army of flying monkeys and kidnapped a dog. They could have chosen any other aspect but animals.
This is very valid 😂
I heard it was because the woman who played her in the MGM film was an animal rights activist

oh boy ...part 2 is going to be awkward for the scarecrow...also i wonder how would they react differently to the wicked movie
Don't worry, I still gave this video a like.
Wicked is right up there with 50 shades and twilight

I know! Always fearing the dreaded rust 😟
Love this! So funny and so many clever references. 👏😂
So kind!! Thank you!!

The worst thing about “ Wicked” is that it makes an evil person seem heroic; the cleverest thing evil people can do is to make you pity them.
Except in the story of Wicked she’s not evil. She’s a threat to those in power who looks different and bucks norms. They use their power to propagandize and make ordinary people believe she’s evil to keep their hold on power.
I like knowing why an evil person became evil. But don't make it at the expense of the good guys suddenly being less moral
