"Don't need 'em. Bubbles are just for show," is such a great line. It explains why Glinda has so much faith in Oscar. She's a stage performer just like he is, and the Good Witch of the North persona is the character she puts on for the crowds. The dialogue even slips in casual slang - " 'em " - to make certain you notice that Glinda is getting real.
I get the impression that Evanora was based more so on the Evil Queen from Snow White. Her refined elegant appearance being transformed into a hideous hag plus that scene with the apple earlier on...
"You have the throne Glinda. What more could you want?" "You can't give me that. You took what mattered most to me." These two lines described each character perfectly. I love how Glinda knows there's no magic that can bring back the dead.
Fun Fact: Glinda portrayed in this version is a combination of all three Glinda's from the movie/play/book: 1939's film characteristic of traveling by bubble, Broadway's Wicked musical with having golden blonde hair & Baum's original book of wearing all white gowns adorned in solid gold and remaining the Witch of the South.
That booming sound when the green lightning hits against Glinda’s magic ward was insane in IMAX. Rattled the whole theater, I still remember it being one of the coolest things about the movie.
I remember watching it for the first time and thinking, “oh damn so we about to get a real witch fight” only for it to end so quickly but it was still amazing to watch in theaters
I know it was brief, but imo this is one of the most badass magic fight scenes I’ve ever seen. The way the lightning sounded so powerful. The way neither of them were angry, just focused. I really enjoy this scene!
Ugh, I wanted a sequel just for the two wicked witches in their castle in the dark forest. This version of the wicked witch of the east had me so hyped. It would’ve been terrifying
I agree, but they then lived in different countries and most likely feuded, since Theodora is unmanageable, unpredictable and more cruel for Evanora, and Evanora is cowardly for Theodora and does not want to terrorize the inhabitants just like that, and in general, each of them wanted power only for themselves later.
So apparently there are plans for a sequel 🤔 it's stuck in development hell meaning they don't know what to do with the property yet and they don't know if Sam Raimi would be down to come back to make a 2nd movie
@@Triviawisaac, I mean, there still needs explanation on how evanora had Ruby slippers in the wizard of Oz later on. My theory is that Theodora created them so that she wouldn’t be so old and hideous and it would have some sort of protective magic shield around her body. Idk, just an idea for the sequel.
@@user-ey9uj6vp9sNo, I think it’s a very charming film that has actually gotten better over time. I wish it did get a sequel because I loved the visuals, more mature story and the soundtrack. I have no idea why people didn’t like this at the time it released I’ve always loved it.
As someone who grew up loving the film versions of Mombi and the Wicked Witch of the West, Rachel Weisz's Evanora was so satisfying! Her performance and character stands right up there will those other iconic Oz witches.
the fact that Evanora tries to crush Glinda by felling a chunk of the ceiling just proves that her power is inferior. She knows she's not strong enough so she resorts to fighting dirty.
You know what, despite all the negativity, I quite enjoyed this movie purely on its own. If you don't take it as Wizard of Oz canon and just enjoy it as a Hollywood creation, I think you can get away with it -- I did, and I'm the biggest Oz fan out there 😊
@@MaskedMan66 Pretty sure the 14 wrote by Baum are the only ones that are Canon, whilst other written after his death are just spin offs. However, they still can be a good read.
@@benrichardson3031 No, they're all the Oz Canon. Maud Baum gave her blessing when the publishers continued the series, and Frank's immediate successor, Ruth Plumly Thompson, met with Maud's approval. Among Oz aficionados, the canon is alliteratively termed "The Famous Forty." :-)
I feel like Evenora is so underatted. I truly think her powers are amazing with bright vibrant green lightning magic that comes out of her hands...just so cool and believable
This scene was dripping in Sam Raimi! I love how even in his non-horror films there are traces of that unnerving terror that was prevalent in Evil Dead.
I think the “Fake” form of Evanora is her real form, let me explain, when Theodora ate the apple she became ugly and wicked, I think that happened to Evanora long back, and she used a spell with the pendant to turn her back to her self, like she suggested to do on Theodora but she refused.
If she needs a pendant to go back to her old self, then it's not her real form anymore. This ugly form is her permanent form now. If you mean the "fake" form was her original form, then yes.
I think her "fake form" is her younger form like its how she used to look and she pulled a Mother Gothel and used magic to make herself younger and beautiful.
You got to admit she was a total boss ass bitch but glinda is not any better, glinda sent dorthy to kill the witch of the west and get rid of the wizard so that she could rule oz. If you saw legends of oz you would see that glindaa is in charge now, i can see why And theodora was a slutty angry bitch, heres why:she immidiayly offered to be the wife of the wizard right away, and she only knew him for two days. And she has a horrible temper
Yes i was right ozma died and glindas father took over this movie was after ozma. Had passed. And since the wicked witches are dead and the wizard is in knsas and the jester has ben destroyed glind is the curent ruller of oz. The reason why glinda sid not die is because she canot die of age she is after all a godess
I just love how this prequel ties in perfectly with the original The Wizard Of Oz even though it’s quite modern and not so much old it’s a great prequel to show what happened before Dorothy came and before her adventure
I notice how in the battle Glenda's crown and the conduit of her wand are never destroyed by Evanora's power. For me, they represent the truth of who Glinda is and how they can absorb Evanora's attacks. Evanora's necklace lacks the full power because they represent no truth of who Evanora really is. Evanora somehow figured out the power behind those green stones and used them as a conduit no matter how false. I think that is why she is so determined to find Glenda's wand in the poppy field scene. It is the genuine article. The necklace crumbles and is destroyed during the battle because they were never genuine to Evanora's evil soul.....great wisdom, I know. ;)
I think Glinda was okay in this movie. A decent alternative to the bland Glinda from the original. I don't hate her and I don't love her in this. (Mila Kunis steals the show in my opinion)
SuperCHARged Productions agreed. the original glinda was a bitch. she forced Dorothy into this whole journey when she could've told her to clip her heels when she had the slippers. and in the end, all she could come up with is 'u wouldn't have believed me if I told u'. like, we saw witches and munchkins in oz for gods sake.
justin andrew no theodora is the most powerfull female villan but glinda is much more powerfull it is just that theodora had two armies that made her eem more powerfull but glinda was more powerfull. Theodora aka the wicked witch of the west is voted the best female villan of all time
0:35 this cut has always bothered me. She’s looking down then suddenly is looking up and shoots lightning. There’s a few cuts like this throughout the film…
Anyone else getting Palpatine vibes from Evanora? Not just the lightning too! Both were disguised as benevolent leaders, and during a battle with their enemy lost their pretty appearance and turned into monstrous-looking creatures. Also the blast that throws both of them aside when their powers collide is straight from Yoda's duel with the Emperor.
We found Palpatines granddaughter. Also I just noticed that there are a lot of similarities between the fights here and in star wars Both fight using electricity Both have English accent Both are disfigured at the end Both turn hero bad
Yes it was origanally writen to resemble tangeledn it is also a lesson to teach you that if you font have inner beautythen your outter beauty will be destroyed before you. It is also a lesson to show that all power comes with a price
jose lopez The climax also reminded me of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith that both witches were deformed by their "betrayal" just like Anakin and Palpatine were.
True. Disney uses other films for insparation. Have you seen starvwars rebels it show what happened before luke arrived. It is on netflix it is a show.
Evanora's transformation reminds me of "Hansel and Gretel the Witch Hunters." Hansel says that black magic warps a witch's appearance into an ugly hag, and only the Grand Witches can change their appearance and look beautiful. Just like Evanora!
And Evanora had told Theodora, after her transformation, that she could cast a quick glamour spell and have her looking exactly as she had before, implying - at least in my opinion - that she had experience in casting such spells before. Likely on herself.
I don't think that Evanora's poisoned apple turned Theodora into something she wasn't. I think she always was wicked deep down, as Evanora told her, but Theodora was trying to repress it. The apple just made her true nature more dominant.
Nobody can convince me that this was a bad movie. Sure it started off boring but once we entered Oz it really started getting good for me. I hope we get a sequel with better writing even if the same actors don’t return.
Can we just take a moment that the Glinda who met Dorothy is the same one in this scene. The fact that that epic witch bitch had this epic past is too good!
That's because if Sam Raimi squeezed these actors to give it they're best performance he'd end up with a scandal since both of them are snowflakes. He's known to be relentless with actors.
At 3:01, Glinda kinda reminds me of Mirana from Alice in Wonderland where Mirana said to Iracebeth "I'll banishes you to the outlands, no one will ever so you kindness or ever speak a word to you."
@@PrincessButterflySadie In which version? She has no name in the book, nor any interest in banishing anybody anywhere; she's a bit of a harmless loony, altogether.
What kills the fight scene for me is that neither of them even look like they're in a fight. The two of them merely seem to e going through the motions, because neither of them are even showing an expression on their faces. Come on!!! You are shooting LIGHTNING out of your hands!!! Make a damn face or something!
TheBigT2000 Those familiar with magic lore know that it takes an incredible amount of concentration to wield it. Chaotic emotions during a magic fight like this would be disastrous for you. Losing focus would be to your detriment, and give your foe the upper hand. So while it would make for a more intense scene to have those chaotic emotions play out, lore wise, it wouldn't work. So for that reason, I like the authenticity of it.
Jake If they did what is typical of Hollywood fights - snide remarks, witty one-liners etc. - they'd both be dead before they could breath. Despite them both being immensely powerful witches, Magic is an independent and volatile force all of its own that requires a mighty will and strong mind to manipulate to your own purposes.
i dont understand why though, beause rachel weisz had really pretty good fighting scenes in the mummh returns against patricia velazquez. too weird she didnt do it right here.
Tall, beautiful, majestic, intelligent, confident, dressed in silver, and incredibly powerful? This is by far the most book accurate version of Glinda portrayed in film.
I've seen this so long ago yet I still clearly remember this brief fight scene. It's so cool, the sounds especially. It sounds powerful and violent, like the way it sometimes drowns out the background music.
This scene was so great!!! 0:45 “What’s the matter Glinda out of bubbles” 0:51 “Don’t need em bubbles are just for show” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 2:15 “What have you done” Me: EXPOSE YOU!!!
This scene could've been much more effective if it had a longer running time and a bit more action. I guess Raimi didn't want to put too much into it as to not draw attention away from the main climax namely the fireworks scene. This scene being more of a tying of a loose end. (while other people would probably argue that it's an entirely pointless scene) I have to admit that it's still pretty awesome.
Evanora's beauty was a disguise, while Glinda's came from the inside, not just looks. Michelle Williams really showed Glinda's bold side in this film, and I loved it.
Who else wishes that the Wizard of Oz was remade like this movie? Same director same writers, same producers? It would be so cool if they did especially the magic effects
Plot twist: the gem in Glinda’s wand is an infinity stone and Evanoras necklace was the time stone thats why she looks so young but grows old without it
@Alex-ot4tm it's not, not even by an inch, you'll find it very hard to find any movie critics saying the movie is just a sexist bullshit trying to make every women fell for James franco pedo smile, I get it if you're a dude tho, cause this is when everything still caters to you, including Mila Kunis crying over an ugly man
I just realized Glinda is a lot more powerful than Evanora, she was winning the battle quite easily 1:01 Evanora noticed that and had to cheat to get away. Even at 1:19 she was the one who caused the explosion.
First the wicked witch pulls a bitch move to blast Glinda, then she blames Glinda for her emulate getting destroyed. Then the wicked witch thinks that she can take Glinda knowing Glinda has her wand. Glinda had me thinking that she was going to blast the wicked witch when her to Glinda. But Glinda waited until she rushed her. And that was when Glinda blasted her threw the window.
Oh yes Glenda did and of course I have seen it before because I didn't like it when it comes to the ending of the movie I was scared of it did you ever seen it before
One of the things I loved about this movie is that even though Oz is a fraud and pushed to the forefront in the storyline in marvelous fashion, the real battle between actual supernatural forces occurs out of public eye.
@@darthslinger1129 another fun fact : the fight captain marvel vs wanda is similar to evanora vs glinda they used the same camera technique ( sam raimi really nailed it)
In the thumbnail, Glinda looks like Princess Aurora after being pricked by the needle. You know, that scene where Malifecent is like “Well here’s your precious princess!”

*Happy 10th Anniversary* to this movie!
It was glorious watched this in iMax 3D back then.
Evanora's transformation reminds me of "Hansel and Gretel the Witch Hunters." Hansel says that black magic warps a witch's appearance into an ugly hag, and only the Grand Witches can change their appearance and look beautiful. Just like Evanora!
And Evanora had told Theodora, after her transformation, that she could cast a quick glamour spell and have her looking exactly as she had before, implying - at least in my opinion - that she had experience in casting such spells before. Likely on herself.
I don't think that Evanora's poisoned apple turned Theodora into something she wasn't. I think she always was wicked deep down, as Evanora told her, but Theodora was trying to repress it. The apple just made her true nature more dominant.
@@WolfieMcMuffin thus becoming the wicked witch of the west to conclude that part
Nobody can convince me that this was a bad movie. Sure it started off boring but once we entered Oz it really started getting good for me. I hope we get a sequel with better writing even if the same actors don’t return.
This scene reminds me of Harry vs. Voldemort, partly because of the green sparks, they look like Avada Kedavra
Lvvyłkq
i know right
Can we just take a moment that the Glinda who met Dorothy is the same one in this scene. The fact that that epic witch bitch had this epic past is too good!
I just realize they represent the electromagnetic spectrum.
Glinda (Light)
Theodora (Heat)
Evanora (Energy)
cool - then what would the witch of the north's powers be?
@@agenttheater5 the opposite of Theodora maybe ? To be cold in thematic. Or maybe dark energy/matter ?
@TastyGamingQc The witch of the north is good though, not evil
@@benrichardson3031 that’s very debatable
@@TastyGamingQc How
Wow I didn't really noticed until now, the acting here is terrible :/
+Ms5coloursinmyhair I feel Rachel gave the only good performance in the film, to be honest.
But Michelle is the best Actor in the film
Yeah I feel Rachel Weisz was the hidden gem in a film that could have been so much better if others were on par with her.
Rachel and Michelle were the best thing that happen in this movie, but sadly, the script was so bad...they couldn't save the movie.
That's because if Sam Raimi squeezed these actors to give it they're best performance he'd end up with a scandal since both of them are snowflakes. He's known to be relentless with actors.
Loved the movie from beginning to end. This scene especially,
At 3:01, Glinda kinda reminds me of Mirana from Alice in Wonderland where Mirana said to Iracebeth "I'll banishes you to the outlands, no one will ever so you kindness or ever speak a word to you."
Who the heck is Mirana?
@@MaskedMan66 The White Queen from Alice in Wonderland.
@@PrincessButterflySadie In which version? She has no name in the book, nor any interest in banishing anybody anywhere; she's a bit of a harmless loony, altogether.
The Tim Burton version.
@@PrincessButterflySadie Oh, that thing. "The Adventures of the Mad Hatter with Occasional Appearances by Alice." ;-)
Sensational cat fight and that transformation scared me the first time
Me too
I loved how Sam Raimi essentially remade this fight in Multiverse of Madness with Wanda vs Captain Marvel!
What kills the fight scene for me is that neither of them even look like they're in a fight. The two of them merely seem to e going through the motions, because neither of them are even showing an expression on their faces. Come on!!! You are shooting LIGHTNING out of your hands!!! Make a damn face or something!
TheBigT2000 Those familiar with magic lore know that it takes an incredible amount of concentration to wield it. Chaotic emotions during a magic fight like this would be disastrous for you. Losing focus would be to your detriment, and give your foe the upper hand. So while it would make for a more intense scene to have those chaotic emotions play out, lore wise, it wouldn't work. So for that reason, I like the authenticity of it.
Jake If they did what is typical of Hollywood fights - snide remarks, witty one-liners etc. - they'd both be dead before they could breath. Despite them both being immensely powerful witches, Magic is an independent and volatile force all of its own that requires a mighty will and strong mind to manipulate to your own purposes.
that is exactly what i thought.
i dont understand why though, beause rachel weisz had really pretty good fighting scenes in the mummh returns against patricia velazquez. too weird she didnt do it right here.
+TheBigT2000 Becaues CGI has ruined magic in terms of movies. It doesn't have the ability to convey real power or the skill that it takes to wield it.
Tall, beautiful, majestic, intelligent, confident, dressed in silver, and incredibly powerful? This is by far the most book accurate version of Glinda portrayed in film.
"Now everyone will see as you truly are."

Haven’t watched this in years. Need to see it again
1:20 I always thought that was a cool shot. The colors, the vibrato Sound, their faces. Cool scene :))
That end jump scare made me nearly shit myslef
3:09 EXPECTO PATRONUM
Espeliomus...lol

A witch that powerful doesn't need words
I've seen this so long ago yet I still clearly remember this brief fight scene. It's so cool, the sounds especially. It sounds powerful and violent, like the way it sometimes drowns out the background music.
Evanora's true face freaked me out when I first watched that film. And I was 16. Kudos to the team that did the make-up.
Hard to believe this movie is over a decade old already.
This scene was so great!!!
0:45 “What’s the matter Glinda out of bubbles”
0:51 “Don’t need em bubbles are just for show”
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
2:15 “What have you done”
Me: EXPOSE YOU!!!
2:28-2:53 *Evanora, literally cowering away, becomes the wicked witch of the east then turns around*
*"Look what you've done to M E E E E"*
One of the best witch fights ever
2:48 “🧙♀️😠look what you’ve done to me!"
How everyone will see who you truthfully are
This scene could've been much more effective if it had a longer running time and a bit more action. I guess Raimi didn't want to put too much into it as to not draw attention away from the main climax namely the fireworks scene. This scene being more of a tying of a loose end. (while other people would probably argue that it's an entirely pointless scene) I have to admit that it's still pretty awesome.
How the hell did that crown stay on let alone not even move a inch
Magic.
The way I was OBSESSED with this when I was five
this movie was so camp i love it
The lightning looks so powerful in this movie, and the Sound effect.
I love it when Good and Evil fight against each other, to see who wins or loses!
This movie always felt like a major fever dream lmao! But I still love it!
1:05 Ironic, she tried to crash Glinda with a rock, and 30 years later she got crash by the house
Who else is so obsessed with wizard of Oz?!!!😊💖

Now you will experience the Full Power of the Dark Side.
Glinda's appearance and power was so divine
Glinda and Evanora are both powerful and beautiful
Evanora's beauty was a disguise, while Glinda's came from the inside, not just looks. Michelle Williams really showed Glinda's bold side in this film, and I loved it.
Darryl Thompson Glinda is a loving, caring person. That's why she is beautiful.
Raheem Peters of course she is. That's why she's known as the Good Witch of the North
Hiền Nguyễn Thu what ever
Moviefan2k4 ummm Isn't that obvious already
This is pretty much Yoda vs Count Dooku...if they could fly.
What do you mean "if?"
More like Yoda vs Palpatine
@@Sassywizard the fight reminds me so much of that
Who else wishes that the Wizard of Oz was remade like this movie? Same director same writers, same producers? It would be so cool if they did especially the magic effects
Plot twist: the gem in Glinda’s wand is an infinity stone and Evanoras necklace was the time stone thats why she looks so young but grows old without it
This is so much better than wicked. I had to come here and wash my eyes out from how bad wicked was.
Lol, way to cope, with the fucking cringe acting of Mila Kunis and the lamest battle scene on the current era 😂
@@alexandersmith4731nah Oz the great & powerful was the better movie, wicked was just bad
@Alex-ot4tm it's not, not even by an inch, you'll find it very hard to find any movie critics saying the movie is just a sexist bullshit trying to make every women fell for James franco pedo smile, I get it if you're a dude tho, cause this is when everything still caters to you, including Mila Kunis crying over an ugly man
So the necklace was hiding her true form and was also given her dark powers as well. Then after she was defeated she returns back to the east.
I just realized Glinda is a lot more powerful than Evanora, she was winning the battle quite easily 1:01 Evanora noticed that and had to cheat to get away. Even at 1:19 she was the one who caused the explosion.
Glinda in this movie is SO beautiful!
First the wicked witch pulls a bitch move to blast Glinda, then she blames Glinda for her emulate getting destroyed. Then the wicked witch thinks that she can take Glinda knowing Glinda has her wand. Glinda had me thinking that she was going to blast the wicked witch when her to Glinda. But Glinda waited until she rushed her. And that was when Glinda blasted her threw the window.
Oh yes Glenda did and of course I have seen it before because I didn't like it when it comes to the ending of the movie I was scared of it did you ever seen it before
@@rachelcotton5808 Glinda.
@@MaskedMan66 i do remember what Glinda did when she got evaonra's necklace and I know what evaonra said what have you done to me.
Weisz to Adams: “you may have won the throne Glenda, but I did win that Oscar!” Hahahahaha!
Yes, good one but, this isn't Amy Adams but Michelle Williams.
"Look what you've done to meeee!"😂
One of the things I loved about this movie is that even though Oz is a fraud and pushed to the forefront in the storyline in marvelous fashion, the real battle between actual supernatural forces occurs out of public eye.
Fun fact: Wandavision referenced this battle in the final episode. It ends the same way with Wanda outsmarting Agatha.
Another fun fact:Sam raimi is directing the doctor strange sequel (2022) which has Wanda in it
@@darthslinger1129 another fun fact : the fight captain marvel vs wanda is similar to evanora vs glinda they used the same camera technique ( sam raimi really nailed it)
@@arianalikens5300 yeah! I thought the same!
In the thumbnail, Glinda looks like Princess Aurora after being pricked by the needle. You know, that scene where Malifecent is like “Well here’s your precious princess!”
I prefer the catfight between Glinda and Elphaba.
Agreed. Especially since in that, they built it up a bit to make look like they were about to start shooting spells and then, NOPE catfight.
Yeah Wicked is better than this
ztslovebird yasssss
Meoww..
No such person as "Elphaba" here.
Glinda is so beautiful, and a badass. The Wizard of Oz will always be one of the best fantasy movies of all time. 😁
Isn't it nice to know that good will conquer evil.
+Jimjamsim Truly is
Jimjamsim It's just to show good will always over come evil.
2:08 I love use the tone of the organ in this movie
The horror element in this scene has Sam Raimi all over it.
they gave rapunzel’s mother gothel palpatine powers
