*smh* Didn't you catch that he was a humbug? His tale of being a "premier balloonist par exellence" was all flimflam. He probably got into the balloon just to see what it was like, only for a storm to come along and carry him away.
Also her putting the dead sister shoes on her. Imagine hearing some girl who allegedly killed your sister trolloping around with our shame or guilt. Plus being in cohoots with Glinds "the good witch"
"only bad witches are ugly" Logically, what this means is that if you're an ugly witch, you must be bad, but if you're a beautiful witch you could be good or bad. So Glinda's question to Dorothy is actually not offensive, because she assumes Dorothy is a witch, and she's beautiful, so she could be either good or bad.
In Wicked, Glinda actually is responsible for Dorothy’s house killing the witch of the east, because she gives Madame Morrible the idea to use Nessa to capture Elphaba
Glenda first asks “are you a good witch or a bad witch” suggesting that there is no way to tell the difference. Later on Glenda says “Only bad witches are ugly” which seems convenient considering that Glenda is not ugly. The munchkins then laugh as if they are in on the joke. That scene has always stayed with me.
She was forgetting that the Wicked Witch of the West had enslaved her own people, the Winkies, probably killing many of them in the process, planned to do the same to all of Oz, and was willing to murder a little girl in order to gain magical powers. Now, it's entirely probable that Almira Gulch better fit Miss Hamilton's description.
@@arielishere176 Nobody stole anything, and once the WWW realized that the shoes-- or, more precisely, the power they contained-- were up for grabs, she forgot all about the WWE and never mentioned her again.
As a child one of the things I noticed about Glinda, and everyone else seems to have missed, is off the bat she lied to Dorthy. At the beginning of the movie the first thing Glinda said is she couldn't send Dorthy home with magic. Yet, at the end of the movie that is exactly what she did. Sends her home, with magic. But we should also examine the so called "bad" witch. What did the Wicked Witch of the West exactly do that was so bad? Nothing. All she did was try to reclaim her property, her sisters shoes, that where hers by the laws of inheritance valid in any society in history. For this, she was brutally murdered during a home invasion by a hired band of thugs that where there to steal her rightful property. A band of thugs hired by, Glinda, the good witch.
Jeff Hyche This always bothered me too as a child! But no one else seemed to notice so I never said anything!!! Made me wonder if ALL the witches were evil and just having a feud between the pretty ones and the ugly ones and neither group was good to begin with. Also, did Frank L. Baum write this as political satire? There are more books in the series.
Exactly. I notice this as a got older. Blinds is a liar. The witch of the West really didn't wanna kill dorothy until she figured out the only way to get her sisters shoes
I had the original Wizard of Oz book or a different version. I liked that book so much that I've read it over and over. There were no parallels. Dorothy, Toto, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry were the only characters in the beginning of the story. Dorothy came to Oz by cyclone, but the Wicked Witch of the West was not flying on her broomstick in the cyclone. The Wicked Witch of the West did not appear when the house fell on top of the Wicked Witch of the East. The Wicked Witch of the West did not show up until later in the book. The Wicked Witch of the East did not wear ruby slippers; she wore silver slippers. The Good Witch of the North gave Dorothy a kiss of protection on her forehead. The Wicked Witch of the West could not hurt Dorothy due to Glinda's kiss of protection. The Wicked Witch of the West did not put a spell on the poppies that caused our main heroes to fall asleep. The poppies already had the ability to make anything living fall asleep. The poppies had no effect on the Scarecrow and Tinman. Believe it or not, there was a Good Witch of the South. The Good of the South was the one who revealed the secret of the slippers in the end. I would say that the book is quite different from the movie. I must say that Glinda being a manipulative liar was a good theory.
The Good Witch of the North is not Glinda; she's a sweet little old lady who didn't tell Dorothy what the shoes could do because she simply didn't know. Glinda is the Good Witch of the South. The notion of Glinda being either manipulative or a liar is BS. It's like saying Gandalf was a manipulative liar.
The slippers in the book were silver because (if you agree that the Oz books were a political metaphor) silver was the basis of the world's currency in 1900. The slippers were changed to ruby in the movie because the filmmakers thought they would be more conspicuous with the new technicolor process.
Yes, the movie was way too diferent from the book. But glinda never gave dorothy protection kiss. It was good witch of the north, she is the one that first meet dorothy.
When he said that Glinda made fun and taunted the Wicked Witch of the West about her dead sister I felt so bad for her! Probably because I'm very into Wicked. Great theory though.
@@infjelphabasupporter8416 In the books the witch of the east crumbled to dust after being crushed... I forget who shook the corpse dust out of the slippers but yeah, there was corpse dust in the slippers... Oh and the shoes were silver, but silver slippers aren't very cinematic which is why they became Ruby Slippers in the movies... Pretty sure there are some other significant differences between the movie and the source material too... Like how the Wicked Witch of the West only had one eye...
I noticed that Glinda was kind of shady the other day while watching. Especially at the end, where she says that Dorothy always had the power to go home but never told her because she needed to “want it more” or something like that. I just sat there thinking no you put her through so many unnecessary things just for laughs.
"(B)ecause she needed to 'want it more' or something like that??" Are you sure you watched the movie? And what "unnecessary things" are you talking about? A journey of growth and development in which Dorothy became more resourceful and grew emotionally, as well as helping three other people who otherwise would have remained trapped in their individual prisons, and of course freeing a conquered land from its dictator and convincing the Wizard to own up for his deceptions and make good? Those the "unnecessary things" you mean?
"In her portrayal of Glinda, (Billie) Burke projects a benevolent sweetness that exemplifies her character's all-knowing and serene grace. Glinda does not betray Dorothy in negligence by allowing her undue tribulations, which thus circumvents the often raised question, 'Why didn't Glinda tell Dorothy the way to get home right away?' The point is that, in her wisdom, Glinda's clairvoyance foresees the outcome of Dorothy's journey and knows no serious harm will befall her; sans the journey, Dorothy's maturity remains stagnant." -- "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" by Jay Scarfone and William Stillman

Your Glinda theory actually tracks when you factor in Wicked. When you think about it, she set Elphaba up to be killed. She knew all along that she wasn't really evil.
....why would Glinda ask Dorothy, “Are you a good witch or bad witch?” , if she already knew Dorothy had the power to go home at any time? And put the slippers on Dorothy’s feet? If Glinda didn’t have an agenda.... she would have told Dorothy to just click her heels to go home at the time she gave her the slippers. Why wait all the way till the end to tell her that, unless her agenda was completed. Lol just saying
She's playing the part, sociopaths are always manipulative and fake, they want you to believe that they are good and inocent so they play the part to fool you
Ricki C Wrong. In order to make a good story into a good book or good movie, then it requires conflict. You could say that about any movie.... the Titanic shoulda simply avoided the iceberg...
@@rambojohnj.6117 I wasn't talking about the movie, they asked a question about if Glenda were evil why she would do that, I was simply answering it, so shut up and don't talk to me about the plot of movies, no one was talking about the movie,
When films were being created in the past, there was a strong focus on making villains who were purely evil. If a character was labeled a villain, they were portrayed as sinister and malevolent, without much depth. However, in the 2000s and continuing today, filmmakers have shifted towards exploring the backstories of these characters. They recognize that no one is inherently evil; rather, people often make choices based on the circumstances they find themselves in. While some of your theories about characters in the current movie landscape hold merit, it's important to remember that the history of "The Wizard of Oz" has been reinterpreted, especially in light of the original books and the musical "Wicked." The evolution of this story has changed significantly, and it shouldn't be overlooked.
@@em.t6989 Nope; it was none other than Mother Nature. In the MGM movie, Glinda didn't exist except in Dorothy's dream. The only adaptation of _Wizard_ in which Glinda had anything to do with the cyclone was the movie version of _The Wiz,_ and her intentions there were indisputably benevolent, since that Dorothy had more growing to do than most, seeing as how she was already an adult, but still as timid as a child.
Spot on, dude! I like it! Did you ever notice how the Munchkins lead Dorothy up to the borders of Munchkinland, but NEVER venture beyond? They KNOW something!
Not only that, but watch how the munchkins talk to her when constantly telling her to follow the yellow brick road. They actually cop an attitude, like saying thanks, but get the hell out!
trax lynn And did you hear about the theory of the hanged Munchkin? (Watch Shane Dawson's video on this.) it actually sent chills down my spine. While Dorothy, the Lion, the Tin-man, and the scarecrow were singing and skipping down the yellow brick road you can see a figure slightly swinging side-to-side in the trees...
This theory makes perfect sense, and I was thinking it before I even watched the entire video. She basically used this girl to assassinate all her enemies and become the default ruler of Oz. The wand waving and the untying of the ropes were details that I never noticed, but undeniably intentional. The Tin man even pretended that he was shocked by what's happening immediately afterwards as if he didn't know what he just did deliberately.
The Wizard-- not Glinda-- sent Dorothy and the lads to kill the WWW. Glinda, like Gandalf, does not "wish for mastery." The ruler of Oz at the end of the story-- again, commanded by the Wizard, not Glinda-- is the Scarecrow. And why in the world would you think the ropes coming undone was deliberate?
@@MrParkerman6 And incidentally, after Dorothy left, a woman called General Jinjur invaded the Emerald City with an army of girls and usurped the throne. But then the rightful ruler of Oz, Princess Ozma appeared and took the throne from Jinjur, and has ruled Oz ever since.
The Theorizer Who likes getting their shoes polished? Idfk. Who likes getting their crown polished? Frikin Glinda. Illuminati confirmed. Theorist out 👊👋🎤⬇️🔥🔥🔥
this reminds me of the book "Dorothy must die" where the summary basically said that things were the way they were for a reason and when Dorothy came and changed things, it left Oz messed up. I think it kinda ties into Glinda being the villain. things were apparently fine before Dorothy came so if Glinda really is the one who brought Dorothy there, she used her as a tool to mess up Oz to get what she wants
I love that book series and idk if you've read all of them or not but basically the whole "who is evil" thing comes full circle at the end during a showdown between Amy and Dorothy that's interrupted but a certain someone 😏 (also Glinda has a twin!!)
OMG the Dorthy must die books are so much fun. Highly recommend although I would definitely recommend starting with the prequels and read them in order before reading the main book. The author did a great job of mixing the books with her twisted off shoot.
Vanessa Walker Dorothy asked Glinda at the start ‘Are you a good witch or a bad wiring?’ Which would get the viewers thinking. So with her saying that, she said she was a ‘Good Witch’ but in fact she was the bad witch.
In the wicked broadway musical the wicked witch DOES act it up when she’s melting because Ashe doesn’t really die. She fakes her death and escapes oz. Also Glinda is a partial villain in wicked as well.
This theory makes since. Glinda wanted to rule. She knew the wizard would take Dorthy to Kansas because she was there when the wizard came to Oz in The Great And Powerful Wizard Of Oz and if the shoes had the power to take Dorthy home, why Glinda was waving her wand?
Michael Oluwajuyemi except, with his new brains, the scarecrow is given the responsibility of ruling on the wizard’s recommendation. Movies don’t tell the whole story.
@@jamesmilesassassin4179 technically yes. He was given a mix of oats and pins (to make his pseudo-brain sharp). Never discount the value of the placebo effect. The author understood that the main essence of magic is the power of belief.
There’s a problem with this. Why would Glinda need control of a world where the other leaders are doubles? If she’s choosing the characters based on Dorothy’s memories, then shouldn’t she already have control?
I play OZ it was fun and I improvised the line saying I'll take you myself and I was only in kindergarten and now I'm trying to start a movie studio at the age of 14
What about TOTO?? If it weren't for Toto, there would BE no Wizard of Oz. He sets the entire story in motion and sustains it to the end. If Toto hadn't tried to bite Miss Gulch, she wouldn't have taken the dog away to be destroyed, after which he escaped and ran back to Dorothy - at which point SHE decides they have to run away from home to keep him safe. If they hadn't run away, she would've been home when the tornado hit and would have been safe in the storm cellar. In Oz, Toto is still the main player. Toto is the one who leads the way on the Yellow Brick Road, who escapes imprisonment in the Witch's castle by leaping off the drawbridge, and runs to get the Tin Man, Lion and Scarecrow to lead them back to the castle where they rescue Dorothy. AND IT IS TOTO who pulls back the curtain, revealing that the Wizard is a fraud! Yet, I have never ONCE heard anyone mention Toto's importance or name him as their "favorite character". He just sort of fades into the background. OH AND ONE MORE. Toto is the reason Dorothy can't go back with the Wizard in the balloon. He jumps out and she has to go after him. Nothing would happen AT ALL without Toto.
I always liked that in the books Toto is described as a “Terrier,” but the exact breed is never specified so the illustrations of the dog kept changing. In “The Road to Oz,” the illustrator (John Neil) drew him as a pitbull terrier.
YESSS! I will say it: Toto has always been my favorite character (besides the Tin Man). Everybody needs a Toto! (Isn't it interesting that Dorothy tries to rescue HIM from the Wicked Witch, but it's he who ends up rescuing HER? And he's such a little dog at that; whatever kind of terrier he is, he's one that she can carry in her arms. Further to the trivia about the dog used in the film, there was a whole book out about her several years ago that I wish I had bought. Her original name was "Terry." 😄 Now I'm curious which other movies she appeared in, +Albert Demello.
I like your theory. I have one of my own. And I’d like to counter: 1.Uncle Henry doesn’t have a parallel doppelgänger either..... 2. in Alice in Wonderland, who are the people from her normal life identical to the people in wonderland??.... 3. The character of the “ Old woman” (apparently you call 30 old) mentor that turns out to be a tyrant doesn’t exist. Theory: GLINDA IS DOROTHY’S DEAD MOTHER. Dorothy is brought up by her older aunt and uncle. She dreams of her deceased mother whom, in memory, she has idolized as a beautiful fairy princess. Like a mother, rather than doing everything for her, Glinda directs and guides but allows Dorothy to learn her lesson for herself. This releases her from the dependency of childhood. Glenda is more like an angel..... what do you think?? {Of course, other books about OZ blow this out of the water. Wicked witches of the east and west good witches of the north and south and Ozma being the true ruler of Oz… But ignoring that...lol}.
In the book, Glinda is actually the Good Witch of the South, and she doesn’t meet Dorothy until the end of her journey. It’s the Good Witch of the North (a separate character) who greets Dorothy, gives her the slippers, and kisses her on the forehead as a magical protection. The Good Witch of the North’s knowledge about the slippers’ full power is unclear, as she never mentions they can take Dorothy home. Glinda, on the other hand, reveals that at the end of the story. In the book, Glinda also seems to know that the Wizard is a fraud, as she isn’t surprised when Dorothy reveals it. Meanwhile, the Good Witch of the North’s knowledge about the Wizard is left ambiguous, as her role is mostly to protect Dorothy and send her on her journey. The movie simplifies things by combining Glinda and the Good Witch of the North into one character.
But actually, the Scarecrow only has the job until Glinda tells Tip in The Land of Oz that Ozma is the rightful ruler, and she is restored. So maybe she ruled through faction?
Alyssabelle Sunthonphan But actually I just realized that in the second book, the Marvelous Land of Oz, Emerald City is attacked by an army and the scarecrow goes to Glinda for help, and she tells him that Osma is the rightful ruler. So essentially she could be ruling by faction with that choice. Hmmm
I'm scared of it too! I've never watched the whole thing because of that... I can watch any other horror related media, but not that. I think it might be because I was terrified of it when I was ten...
I have got something to add to this evidence. In Return to oz Dorathy goes back into the world of Oz but things have changed! Glenda let bad things happen to oz and helped the villains in that movie take over because she thought they could help her rule . That's when they also turned her to stone and when glenda is saved she pretends like nothing ever happend so her sharade lives on. She is the evil witch. And if the proper witches and oz were still there oz wouldn't have been attacked be the evil villains there! Like if you agree
I love this theory! I always wondered why Glinda wouldn’t tell Dorothy about the shoes and why she used her wand to let Dorothy go back home. This theory really left me with a bittersweet ending. Even though the wicked witch is dead the craziest witch has not yet died. By craziest, I mean Glinda.
This theory is crap. Dorothy had some growing and learning to do, not to mention freeing four other people from their personal prisons, and destroying an evil dictator.
Are you one? Not to insult, but your photo resembles her ..........are Glindas good or bad, pretending to be good?? I always hated the sound of her creepy voice...........super-fake. But I LOVED her outfit!!
"Rarely" doesn't mean "never." Oz is the dream. Of course, in the books, Oz and Kansas (and Australia and San Francisco and all the other outside world locales) are all real.
@@Distortedthoughts So, your personal experience is the measure of what is common in the human condition, especially in make-believe stories? That's nice to know, thanks. ;)
The deviations in the movie from the original book, Oz being a ‘dream’ land, and the “don’t leave home” lesson almost make more sense if you consider that in this scenario Glinda wouldn’t want Dorothy coming back and being named as a princess of Oz
Kitcat, don't understand your point about her wand with a star on it......humans have always loved wands and stars, but ANY darn symbol can be GOOD or BAD. Lucifer", ( planet Venus, "The Morning Star" in our skies) was a name given to equal satan in Christology, - Lucifer the son of morning, how art thou now fallen from heaven...............So maybe Glinda the "good" witch" IS simply showing a feminine Lucifer-worshipper, as there ARE many "Glindas" in the world, looking fine but doing unimaginably horrible things to us and to the planet. DO NOT CONSENT. cheers
This is awesome! Great theory! And makes sense. He forgot to point out how right from the start, Glinda shows herself to be a very self-centered, egotistical witch! Think about her remark to Dorothy when she said, "I've never heard of a beautiful witch before. Witches are old and ugly!" Glinda's response was, "Only bad witches are ugly!" Implying of course, "you're right Dorothy I AM beautiful! And very good!" Right there is proof of her evil intent, by warping and twisting reality!
Try this one on for size: If it's all a dream, why is Auntie Em calling for Dorothy and wondering where she is (in the crystal ball, which is Kansas because it's in Black and White) if Dorothy has been asleep/unconscious in her bed the whole time? Yeah. That hurt your brains.
@@MrParkerman6 The reason Dorothy's guardians weren't in Oz in some form was because if they had been, Dorothy's wish to return to them would not have been as intense.
wait 2 questions. 1- if everyone has a doppleganger than which is auntie ems? second, if glinda created the place (or atleast the rulers and dopplegangers) than why would she not just make herself the ruler? there wouldnt be a need to get them out of the way if she has the power to create them cuz she wouldnt create dopples more powerful than herself
Lv.5 Togepi The doppelgänger could've been the eastern witch. Or, Glinda didn't need a parallel for Em, as she'd already had THREE other home friends. She didn't make herself the ruler, because she had to pin her way to the top in the munchkin's eyes, to show them that she was fit.
The Theorizer i understand that part but if she created the wizard and the wizard was seen as the ruler then how'd get accepted in a way she couldnt? maybe im just missing it i really like the theory tho
The Red Brick Road would probably lead somewhere in the Southern part of Oz. In the southern part oz Oz in the book, there exist little armless men on a hill; their heads come off but are still attached like springs to knock you off the hill so you cannot pass.
Here's a little story. What if the tin man and the scarecrow know that Dorothy has a heart and a brain under her skin all they have to do is take it.... Enjoy sleeping!!!
Literally none of this would have been a problem if they had just STICKED TO THE PLOT OF THE BOOK! Glinda is the GOOD WITCH of the SOUTH and DOESN'T APPEAR UNTIL THE END OF THE BOOK! She is greeted by the GOOD WITCH OF THE NORTH, who is unnamed, and DOESN'T KNOW HOW THE SLIPPERS WORK. Also, the Witch of the West is a MINOR plot point, appearing in literally THREE CHAPTERS.
In the original book, "The Wizard of Oz", the red brick road goes to the Quadling Country. There are four territories in Oz: the Munchkin country in the east, the Quadling country to the south, the Gillikan country to the north and the Winkie country to the west. The Emerald City is in the center. In the movie, we see the Winkies... they are the guards in the witch's castle.
Sarah McCabe If, as some theories go, the YBR represents the Gold Standard and thus laissez fairer capitalism, could the RBR represent socialism? Not that I believe either theory, just having some fun!
Also twice, once just before Toto escapes and once just as the captures then the wicked witch says she wants to think about the pain or murder or whatever. She says the second time “don’t hurt them right away” twice she says let’s think about it and give them time to escape so they can kill her.
Am I the only one who thinks it's weird there isn't a witch of the south? Like seriously, witches of the North, East and West but no South.... Suspicious...
Well, there is the theory that Dorothy would become the presumed Witch of the South, which would add another witch threat to Glinda's power. After East's death, Glinda then sees a way to get rid the remaining 2.
They combined the North and South witches in the film. In the book, Glinda is the witch of the South. The North witch is an older woman with no name in the book.
red shoes signify she's under mk ultra. parallel lives equals what she does while under mk ultra vs what she does as herself. she doesn't have a parallel because she's the same person just with several personality's. the tornado is significant to going through a portal or "switching" once you study about mk ultra handlers then you will understand the man behind the curtain.
+carrie white Just quit it. She wasn't FORCED to do anything; the pills she was given were standard operating procedure for most actors in those days. We can debate the ethics of that, but she was not singled out. She was not "body shamed," she was asked to lose weight. It is true that according to the studio's dictatorial standards of beauty, she was considered unattractive, but ultimately, the American public fell in love with her for her talent as well as her looks.
Dude, you have way too much time on your hands to be able to cook up all of those theories. But, since it's HILARIOUS, and quite entertaining, I'll give you an 'A++' for the execution of the video!!
Dorothy of Kansas is the heart and soul of the US.OZ is the American Dream.Elvira Gulch is the WW of the East. She represents monarchism and the British Empire, with the silver slippers of the book representing the British Pound Sterling. Ironically, Elvira owns half the county back in Kansas. The WW of the West is the WWotE's twin and represents fascism and slavery.The Yellow Brick Road is the gold standard. The poppy field is the temptation of drugged/altered states -- also of apathy and complacency.The Emerald City is a hayseed's idea of NYC. It also represents power and commerce and success.The Scarecrow, Lion, and Tinman are attributes guiding Dorothy through the American Dream of OZ -- Wisdom, Courage, and Compassion.Toto is Latin for "all". Toto is a catalyst all the way through and represents God/Dorothy's faith walking with Dorothy.Glinda is manipulating everything, as you point out, but not for evil ends. Baum was a freemason. Glinda is freemasonry -- Glinda is the Illuminati goddess. And this manipulation was supposed to be benign, not sinister.
+the acutal bajmahal But, the Illuminati are evil though, so saying that Glinda is representing the Illuminati's deity is in itself reiterating that Glinda is evil.
I agree with you and I want to add something you may have missed. As a former film student and a writer I have used shoes many times in my stories to symbolize taking someone's place. This actually happened to my friend's in real life where one took the other one's shoes and his car and took off as a blatant sign of disrespect so I have always had this in my head as a metaphor. Obviously the legs under the house are symbolic of what is about to happen to Dorothy and Glenda has placed them onto her symbolically showing she is filling the shoes of the dead person. I can think of not one positive reason to wear a dead persons shoes this is a social taboo it is amazing no one ever has ever pointed out how twisted and creepy that scene is? Glenda obviously has the culture industry PR machine deep in her back pocket and uses every trick in the Edward Bernays hand book to sway public opinion to the point they think its a great and magical thing for a little girl to put on shoes stolen right off a dead person still warm. So most likely Dorothy is going to take the blame for the wizards fate as you have pointed out. re-watching that scene it looks like Glenda she's hiding behind Dorothy and she when she threatens the wicked witch that a house could fall on her next that's classic mob boss dialogue. Not to mention she was lead down a road by little fairy people who in legends almost always trick people. And she meets a lion who fears someone a heartless tin man, and a straw man. Basically straw mans definition sums up your theory nicely. I can't help think now that it is supposed to be Dorothy's legs trapped under the house. Also this will answer a question below- Dorothy and Toto are female version of the tarot fool card which represents the star constellation Orion and Canis major who are facing eternity, the bull Taurus the center of the galaxy. The first step to ascending the tarot is the death card so it would make sense the dead witch is Dorothy beginning a new perception. Let me know what you think.
You know how Dorthy lives with her uncle and aunt, where's her mom? Dorthy's dad died from a lung disease. Glinda is someone who is traveling! So the reason why she knows all the things is because she was being told by her sister Emily! When Dorthy was 3 her father died of lung cancer, Glinda wanted to give her kid a better life by sending her to Emily, her sister. So Oz is a place where all doppelgangers live. Glinda put her family in Oz. Her mom was the wicked witch of the East. Her sisters neighbor as The wicked witch of the West. Her daughter was to be the witch of the South. So when Glinda asked are you a good witch or a bad witch and Dorthy says I'm not a witch at all, Glinda is upset with Aunty Em, because Emily was aware of her sisters world, but wanted nothing apart of it, so she didn't tell her niece and that's why Glinda lied to Dorthy. Glinda just wanted to have a world where her daughter can learn her family ways.
jewelz 555 the thing is I always figured that Auntie Em is not a blood relative. Uncle Henry was Dorothy's father's brother, the evidence for this being that she has the same last name as her aunt and uncle. Or he may have even been her father's uncle, judging by the age that Henry and Em supposedly are.
This could be a theory: You don't meet Dorothy's real mother in the movie, she just has Aunt Em. What if the reason Dorothy doesn't have a parallel in Oz is because she was actually born there; then, the reason Glinda brought her to Oz because she is actually Dorothy's mother who sent her away because of the other witches. Then she brought Dorothy back because she wanted to see her and knew that she was the only one who could truly defeat the witches and gave her the shoes to help her on the journey to Emerald City. The reason why she could have sent the balloon away after that is because then she could send Dorothy home and look like a hero to her daughter.
Would you go to the scene of a murder take the shoes off the dead body and put them on your daughter knowing the most vile evil your world knows would see her wearing them and blame her? Just watch that scene you can clearly see Glenda is hiding behind Dorothy no parent would do that.
Good point but maybe Dorothy was part of a destiny and Glinda sent her away because she didn't want it to happen to her daughter but eventually, after over a decade, she gave in and reluctantly followed through with it- but she had to stand behind Dorothy to stop herself from trying to rescue her child and also trying to hide the fact that she had been a terrible parent and she was her true mother.
Did you read my comment that I have been through film school and a common writing technique in film is to give a person another persons object symbolizing a transfer of responsibility? Look how many anti hero action and horror films end with the average joe having to steal a police car. He has took the law in his own hands. The shoe thing I have used in my own writing.just like in Cinderella it called if the shoe fits.
The play and now the movie confirms all of this. The wicked witch isn’t even wholly wicked just framed as a cynical ploy from Glinda and the wizard to be cast as a villain for being green.
The word is canon, and as it isn't canon, it gives no insight into the story as presented in the MGM movie, and certainly has zilch to do with the book.
When i was younger coraline terrified me. If i ever saw a picture of it i was cover my eyes and scream and cry. When ever the lalaloopsie (i dont how its spelled) adverts would come on i wld have to turn off the tv. I couldn't even say coraline or lala loopsie. I was terrified. Still to this day it gives me the creeps ahahahah Sorry i just had to say coz u said abt the movie
I remember seeing The wizard of Oz play when I was 5 years old. We got to meet the actors and actresses. I was scared of the ladies who plays the green witch. Today I think that shows her acting skills.
Paula D. And I’m guessing you have time on your hands to pick on a younger viewer of his? Yes some of the theories here have plot holes and didn’t make sense but for god sakes it’s entertainment for his fans leave this person be and move on.
I'm currently reading a book called Dorothy Must Die. It's obviously about The Wizard Of Oz. It's about another girl from Kansas coming to Oz, the girl is Amy Gumm. The thing is, though, everything is different. Basically, you can't trust the good witches or Dorothy and her friends, and the wicked are the trustworthy ones. It's a bit hard to explain. Here are a ew things about it: You might say though that Dorothy went home, and yes, that's stated in the book, but Dorothy came back and got hold of some magic, became addicted, and everything went downhill from there. Also, Glinda is a evil character in the book! The book I'm reading, I mean. Before you even announced Glinda as being the evil one, I was already chanting it. Anyways, this was a useless comment I took five minutes to make, and I hope you all enjoy the rest of y'alls lives. (Btw I suggest y'all read the book!)
I have always been convinced that Glinda is evil. Even as a kid I always thought she was too nice, and she knew that Dorothy always had the magic to go home too, Glinda is a Pretty-Pink-Demon in disguise.
Same. a lot of young kids felt something off about her and now as adults we can more easily pin point it. It's the whole wolf in sheep's clothing thing.
I would argue that Glinda wasn't intentionally worse. She simply represented the type of person who sees that there is a corrupt nature of those in power. Although this allows them to stay in power or in high status and feels that there is nothing they can do to stop the corruption, so why not ignore the inevitable and gain the benefits. It's not something that people would necessarily evil it's more selfish.
I love that the OZ universe embraces fan fiction. Wicked and other books are just fan fiction. This theory is too and would make a great oz horror movie
Even as a young child, I didn't understand how the wizard could come to Oz in a balloon, then suddenly forget how a balloon works!
*smh* Didn't you catch that he was a humbug? His tale of being a "premier balloonist par exellence" was all flimflam. He probably got into the balloon just to see what it was like, only for a storm to come along and carry him away.
Also, he probably was pretty rusty having spent years living a completely different lifestyle.
IT WAS A FUCKIN DREAM!!

'Only bad witches are ugly.'- Glenda the Good Witch
This quote always stuck with me. All that glitters isnt gold.
Her name is Glinda.
These things have opposite meanings lol
I always found the wicked witch to be sexy or at least I was totally fascinated by her when I was a child then turned to sexy as I got older.
Also her putting the dead sister shoes on her. Imagine hearing some girl who allegedly killed your sister trolloping around with our shame or guilt. Plus being in cohoots with Glinds "the good witch"
"only bad witches are ugly"
Logically, what this means is that if you're an ugly witch, you must be bad, but if you're a beautiful witch you could be good or bad. So Glinda's question to Dorothy is actually not offensive, because she assumes Dorothy is a witch, and she's beautiful, so she could be either good or bad.

The actress of the Western Witch actually said that she felt deep down her charecter was not that evil
*legit tries to kill many people because someone is wearing her sister slippers*
She was forgetting that the Wicked Witch of the West had enslaved her own people, the Winkies, probably killing many of them in the process, planned to do the same to all of Oz, and was willing to murder a little girl in order to gain magical powers.
Now, it's entirely probable that Almira Gulch better fit Miss Hamilton's description.

@@sonnyfox8407 with all due respect. How would you have felt if somebody stole the ONLY thing left that belonged to your now dead sister.
@@arielishere176 Nobody stole anything, and once the WWW realized that the shoes-- or, more precisely, the power they contained-- were up for grabs, she forgot all about the WWE and never mentioned her again.
As a child one of the things I noticed about Glinda, and everyone else seems to have missed, is off the bat she lied to Dorthy. At the beginning of the movie the first thing Glinda said is she couldn't send Dorthy home with magic. Yet, at the end of the movie that is exactly what she did. Sends her home, with magic.
But we should also examine the so called "bad" witch. What did the Wicked Witch of the West exactly do that was so bad? Nothing. All she did was try to reclaim her property, her sisters shoes, that where hers by the laws of inheritance valid in any society in history. For this, she was brutally murdered during a home invasion by a hired band of thugs that where there to steal her rightful property. A band of thugs hired by, Glinda, the good witch.
Jeff Hyche This always bothered me too as a child! But no one else seemed to notice so I never said anything!!! Made me wonder if ALL the witches were evil and just having a feud between the pretty ones and the ugly ones and neither group was good to begin with. Also, did Frank L. Baum write this as political satire? There are more books in the series.
Life lesson, like in nature those considered beautiful are usually the most deadly.
Exactly. I notice this as a got older. Blinds is a liar. The witch of the West really didn't wanna kill dorothy until she figured out the only way to get her sisters shoes
And also in the beginning of the movie when dorothy gets there, Glinda says "only the ugly witches are bad"
Bit the witch kidnapped Dorothy!

Toto doesn't have a doppelganger :p
MG222 OMG TOTO IS THE REAL VILLIAN!
Toto was brought into Oz with Dorthy. Why would he need a doppelgänger when he is in the world with her?
MG222 probably a doggie clone of some sort
maybe she killed the dopple Toto when she realised he (pretty sure Toto is male) came with Dorothy
Dorothy needs to fight for something so ....
I had the original Wizard of Oz book or a different version. I liked that book so much that I've read it over and over. There were no parallels. Dorothy, Toto, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry were the only characters in the beginning of the story. Dorothy came to Oz by cyclone, but the Wicked Witch of the West was not flying on her broomstick in the cyclone. The Wicked Witch of the West did not appear when the house fell on top of the Wicked Witch of the East. The Wicked Witch of the West did not show up until later in the book. The Wicked Witch of the East did not wear ruby slippers; she wore silver slippers. The Good Witch of the North gave Dorothy a kiss of protection on her forehead. The Wicked Witch of the West could not hurt Dorothy due to Glinda's kiss of protection. The Wicked Witch of the West did not put a spell on the poppies that caused our main heroes to fall asleep. The poppies already had the ability to make anything living fall asleep. The poppies had no effect on the Scarecrow and Tinman. Believe it or not, there was a Good Witch of the South. The Good of the South was the one who revealed the secret of the slippers in the end. I would say that the book is quite different from the movie. I must say that Glinda being a manipulative liar was a good theory.
The Good Witch of the North is not Glinda; she's a sweet little old lady who didn't tell Dorothy what the shoes could do because she simply didn't know. Glinda is the Good Witch of the South.
The notion of Glinda being either manipulative or a liar is BS. It's like saying Gandalf was a manipulative liar.
The books are good but crazy and darker then they seem
@@packmule6084 Not dark at all, but certainly-- and delightfully-- crazy.
The slippers in the book were silver because (if you agree that the Oz books were a political metaphor) silver was the basis of the world's currency in 1900. The slippers were changed to ruby in the movie because the filmmakers thought they would be more conspicuous with the new technicolor process.
Yes, the movie was way too diferent from the book. But glinda never gave dorothy protection kiss. It was good witch of the north, she is the one that first meet dorothy.

I noticed that Glinda was kind of shady the other day while watching. Especially at the end, where she says that Dorothy always had the power to go home but never told her because she needed to “want it more” or something like that. I just sat there thinking no you put her through so many unnecessary things just for laughs.
"(B)ecause she needed to 'want it more' or something like that??" Are you sure you watched the movie?
And what "unnecessary things" are you talking about? A journey of growth and development in which Dorothy became more resourceful and grew emotionally, as well as helping three other people who otherwise would have remained trapped in their individual prisons, and of course freeing a conquered land from its dictator and convincing the Wizard to own up for his deceptions and make good? Those the "unnecessary things" you mean?
Glinda never said want it more, dumbass. Don't use quotes unless it is word for word, dumbass. That's what quotes are for and you weren't even close.
Nobody was laughing, including Glinda.
"In her portrayal of Glinda, (Billie) Burke projects a benevolent sweetness that exemplifies her character's all-knowing and serene grace. Glinda does not betray Dorothy in negligence by allowing her undue tribulations, which thus circumvents the often raised question, 'Why didn't Glinda tell Dorothy the way to get home right away?' The point is that, in her wisdom, Glinda's clairvoyance foresees the outcome of Dorothy's journey and knows no serious harm will befall her; sans the journey, Dorothy's maturity remains stagnant."

Your Glinda theory actually tracks when you factor in Wicked. When you think about it, she set Elphaba up to be killed. She knew all along that she wasn't really evil.
....why would Glinda ask Dorothy, “Are you a good witch or bad witch?” , if she already knew Dorothy had the power to go home at any time? And put the slippers on Dorothy’s feet? If Glinda didn’t have an agenda.... she would have told Dorothy to just click her heels to go home at the time she gave her the slippers. Why wait all the way till the end to tell her that, unless her agenda was completed. Lol just saying

When films were being created in the past, there was a strong focus on making villains who were purely evil. If a character was labeled a villain, they were portrayed as sinister and malevolent, without much depth. However, in the 2000s and continuing today, filmmakers have shifted towards exploring the backstories of these characters. They recognize that no one is inherently evil; rather, people often make choices based on the circumstances they find themselves in.
While some of your theories about characters in the current movie landscape hold merit, it's important to remember that the history of "The Wizard of Oz" has been reinterpreted, especially in light of the original books and the musical "Wicked." The evolution of this story has changed significantly, and it shouldn't be overlooked.

This theory makes perfect sense, and I was thinking it before I even watched the entire video.
She basically used this girl to assassinate all her enemies and become the default ruler of Oz.
The wand waving and the untying of the ropes were details that I never noticed, but undeniably intentional. The Tin man even pretended that he was shocked by what's happening immediately afterwards as if he didn't know what he just did deliberately.
The Wizard-- not Glinda-- sent Dorothy and the lads to kill the WWW. Glinda, like Gandalf, does not "wish for mastery." The ruler of Oz at the end of the story-- again, commanded by the Wizard, not Glinda-- is the Scarecrow. And why in the world would you think the ropes coming undone was deliberate?
Scarecrow isn't ruler of Oz, he is ruler of The Emerald City, dumbass.

this reminds me of the book "Dorothy must die" where the summary basically said that things were the way they were for a reason and when Dorothy came and changed things, it left Oz messed up. I think it kinda ties into Glinda being the villain. things were apparently fine before Dorothy came so if Glinda really is the one who brought Dorothy there, she used her as a tool to mess up Oz to get what she wants
That way, makes more sence

OMG the Dorthy must die books are so much fun. Highly recommend although I would definitely recommend starting with the prequels and read them in order before reading the main book. The author did a great job of mixing the books with her twisted off shoot.
Tamara E ....an evil twin??
Vanessa Walker Dorothy asked Glinda at the start ‘Are you a good witch or a bad wiring?’ Which would get the viewers thinking. So with her saying that, she said she was a ‘Good Witch’ but in fact she was the bad witch.
In the wicked broadway musical the wicked witch DOES act it up when she’s melting because Ashe doesn’t really die. She fakes her death and escapes oz. Also Glinda is a partial villain in wicked as well.

What about TOTO?? If it weren't for Toto, there would BE no Wizard of Oz. He sets the entire story in motion and sustains it to the end. If Toto hadn't tried to bite Miss Gulch, she wouldn't have taken the dog away to be destroyed, after which he escaped and ran back to Dorothy - at which point SHE decides they have to run away from home to keep him safe. If they hadn't run away, she would've been home when the tornado hit and would have been safe in the storm cellar. In Oz, Toto is still the main player. Toto is the one who leads the way on the Yellow Brick Road, who escapes imprisonment in the Witch's castle by leaping off the drawbridge, and runs to get the Tin Man, Lion and Scarecrow to lead them back to the castle where they rescue Dorothy. AND IT IS TOTO who pulls back the curtain, revealing that the Wizard is a fraud! Yet, I have never ONCE heard anyone mention Toto's importance or name him as their "favorite character". He just sort of fades into the background. OH AND ONE MORE. Toto is the reason Dorothy can't go back with the Wizard in the balloon. He jumps out and she has to go after him. Nothing would happen AT ALL without Toto.
I Love Toto ❤who was actually a female. she had appeared in other movies as well & was later renamed Toto.
I always liked that in the books Toto is described as a “Terrier,” but the exact breed is never specified so the illustrations of the dog kept changing. In “The Road to Oz,” the illustrator (John Neil) drew him as a pitbull terrier.
YAY, Toto!! You sure can trust a dog more than a person or a witch or a doppelganger.................cheers
YESSS! I will say it: Toto has always been my favorite character (besides the Tin Man). Everybody needs a Toto! (Isn't it interesting that Dorothy tries to rescue HIM from the Wicked Witch, but it's he who ends up rescuing HER? And he's such a little dog at that; whatever kind of terrier he is, he's one that she can carry in her arms.
Further to the trivia about the dog used in the film, there was a whole book out about her several years ago that I wish I had bought. Her original name was "Terry." 😄 Now I'm curious which other movies she appeared in, +Albert Demello.

2. in Alice in Wonderland, who are the people from her normal life identical to the people in wonderland??....
3. The character of the “ Old woman” (apparently you call 30 old) mentor that turns out to be a tyrant doesn’t exist.
Theory: GLINDA IS DOROTHY’S DEAD MOTHER. Dorothy is brought up by her older aunt and uncle. She dreams of her deceased mother whom, in memory, she has idolized as a beautiful fairy princess. Like a mother, rather than doing everything for her, Glinda directs and guides but allows Dorothy to learn her lesson for herself. This releases her from the dependency of childhood. Glenda is more like an angel..... what do you think??
{Of course, other books about OZ blow this out of the water. Wicked witches of the east and west good witches of the north and south and Ozma being the true ruler of Oz… But ignoring that...lol}.
Saffron Sugar Your 3rd theory is EXACTLY what I think.
+Han Nguyen No, that was Professor Marvel.
Dope Analogy!
+Eli Foster Dopey, more like.
I like it!
In the book, Glinda is actually the Good Witch of the South, and she doesn’t meet Dorothy until the end of her journey. It’s the Good Witch of the North (a separate character) who greets Dorothy, gives her the slippers, and kisses her on the forehead as a magical protection.
The Good Witch of the North’s knowledge about the slippers’ full power is unclear, as she never mentions they can take Dorothy home. Glinda, on the other hand, reveals that at the end of the story.
In the book, Glinda also seems to know that the Wizard is a fraud, as she isn’t surprised when Dorothy reveals it. Meanwhile, the Good Witch of the North’s knowledge about the Wizard is left ambiguous, as her role is mostly to protect Dorothy and send her on her journey.
The movie simplifies things by combining Glinda and the Good Witch of the North into one character.
Okay but if you read L Frank Baum's other books Glinda does not end up being the ruler of OZ. It's the Scarecrow.
But actually, the Scarecrow only has the job until Glinda tells Tip in The Land of Oz that Ozma is the rightful ruler, and she is restored. So maybe she ruled through faction?
Madison More yes
Alyssabelle Sunthonphan But actually I just realized that in the second book, the Marvelous Land of Oz, Emerald City is attacked by an army and the scarecrow goes to Glinda for help, and she tells him that Osma is the rightful ruler. So essentially she could be ruling by faction with that choice. Hmmm

I love this theory! I always wondered why Glinda wouldn’t tell Dorothy about the shoes and why she used her wand to let Dorothy go back home.
This theory really left me with a bittersweet ending. Even though the wicked witch is dead the craziest witch has not yet died. By craziest, I mean
Glinda.
This theory is crap. Dorothy had some growing and learning to do, not to mention freeing four other people from their personal prisons, and destroying an evil dictator.
Our world is filled with Glindas
Are you one? Not to insult, but your photo resembles her ..........are Glindas good or bad, pretending to be good?? I always hated the sound of her creepy voice...........super-fake. But I LOVED her outfit!!
Amen to that
Crafty Kat 😊
Dr. Elizabeth Martin You have a good point. Wow. That's the first time I noticed that.
Emilia Arroyo Glindas are the worst!
People rarely dream in color.
OZ is real.
Kansas is the dream.
"Rarely" doesn't mean "never." Oz is the dream. Of course, in the books, Oz and Kansas (and Australia and San Francisco and all the other outside world locales) are all real.
All my dreams are in color so it’s not rare
@@Distortedthoughts So, your personal experience is the measure of what is common in the human condition, especially in make-believe stories? That's nice to know, thanks. ;)
You’re welcome 😉. Anytime.

Anyone else watching this in 1942?
Not me XD
1939 gamers
*GLINDA*
Yes........
*GLINDA*
I wasn't but you know who was GLENDA
The deviations in the movie from the original book, Oz being a ‘dream’ land, and the “don’t leave home” lesson almost make more sense if you consider that in this scenario Glinda wouldn’t want Dorothy coming back and being named as a princess of Oz
WHEN GALINDA SAYS "she fell from a star" SHE HOLDS HER WAND UP THAT HAS A STAR ON IT!!!!!!!! Edit: this is just an idea.
It was a red star. Galinda was a communist. ;)
Kitcat, don't understand your point about her wand with a star on it......humans have always loved wands and stars, but ANY darn symbol can be GOOD or BAD. Lucifer", ( planet Venus, "The Morning Star" in our skies) was a name given to equal satan in Christology, - Lucifer the son of morning, how art thou now fallen from heaven...............So maybe Glinda the "good" witch" IS simply showing a feminine Lucifer-worshipper, as there ARE many "Glindas" in the world, looking fine but doing unimaginably horrible things to us and to the planet. DO NOT CONSENT. cheers
Funny, Ronald...........did they HAVE communists under every bed then? And Disney, the genius Freemason.........loved MKUltra.................cheers
Dr. Elizabeth Martin omg ur so right
kitcat ......-_- -_- Why must children do this?
This is awesome! Great theory! And makes sense. He forgot to point out how right from the start, Glinda shows herself to be a very self-centered, egotistical witch! Think about her remark to Dorothy when she said, "I've never heard of a beautiful witch before. Witches are old and ugly!" Glinda's response was, "Only bad witches are ugly!" Implying of course, "you're right Dorothy I AM beautiful! And very good!" Right there is proof of her evil intent, by warping and twisting reality!
Yes you are spot on sir
I always hated Glinda. Superficial and mean.
@@suzannehartmann946 Wrong on both counts.
Try this one on for size: If it's all a dream, why is Auntie Em calling for Dorothy and wondering where she is (in the crystal ball, which is Kansas because it's in Black and White) if Dorothy has been asleep/unconscious in her bed the whole time? Yeah. That hurt your brains.
714Sluggo it's a dream that's she stuck in the parallel world
714Sluggo the crystal ball was fake, the guy that ran it was stuttering throughout her visit.
714Sluggo it is a dream. in her dream she's not home and her aunt is looking for her.
In the second movie "Return to Oz" Auntie Em is evil too.
Dat makes senseeee
Who stated coved 19?
GLINDA
????????????????????
@LukeOfAZ I think he also meant COVID. But why would he think it's anything to do with Glinda?
"Why? Because she was there the whole time. And she's a liar" lmfaoooo loved how u said that
Wrong on both counts.
I'm scarred after all that Glenda talk 🙁
I'll never watch this movie the same again
佐々木ミーシャ I'm too scared to watch the movie again lol
佐々木ミーシャ same
佐々木ミーシャ this genuinely scared me
_Kitteh_is_here_ your profile picture ;D
I wouldn't have guessed Glinda was the real villian. Dorothy always seemed lucky to have someone like that around. Also Toto has no doppleganger.
Neither did Aunt Em or Uncle Henry. Henry wasn't there at all- Cuz Dorothy gives zero Fuchs about him!!!
Glinda was no more a villain than Gandalf. And as Toto was *there in Oz with Dorothy,* he didn't need a doppelganger.
@@MrParkerman6 The reason Dorothy's guardians weren't in Oz in some form was because if they had been, Dorothy's wish to return to them would not have been as intense.
Whoop whoop revised theoriessss
At this point we can all assume that when I say revised, I mean I take a concept from my older video, and totally warp the F**K OUT OF IT
The Theorizer yo this is so convincing
wait 2 questions. 1- if everyone has a doppleganger than which is auntie ems? second, if glinda created the place (or atleast the rulers and dopplegangers) than why would she not just make herself the ruler? there wouldnt be a need to get them out of the way if she has the power to create them cuz she wouldnt create dopples more powerful than herself
Lv.5 Togepi The doppelgänger could've been the eastern witch. Or, Glinda didn't need a parallel for Em, as she'd already had THREE other home friends. She didn't make herself the ruler, because she had to pin her way to the top in the munchkin's eyes, to show them that she was fit.
The Theorizer
i understand that part but if she created the wizard and the wizard was seen as the ruler then how'd get accepted in a way she couldnt? maybe im just missing it i really like the theory tho
But Glinda also led her down the yellow brick road which was essentially free from harm. I would love to see how demented the red brick road was...
Jeffery Sventora yes to make sure she survived to kill off the leaders
Jeffery Sventora word!!!
If glinda really wanted to help dorothy why not give her a bubble to oz?
The Red Brick Road would probably lead somewhere in the Southern part of Oz. In the southern part oz Oz in the book, there exist little armless men on a hill; their heads come off but are still attached like springs to knock you off the hill so you cannot pass.
@@101Volts I still wanna see that lmao
Here's a little story.
What if the tin man and the scarecrow know that Dorothy has a heart and a brain under her skin all they have to do is take it....
Enjoy sleeping!!!
i still went to sleep...but still.....niiiice i imagined that thoroughly
In the books, they _did_ let Dorothy and the Lion sleep while they did nothing.
That's not even scary??
Or they know the lion has it and he knows they want to take it, which is why he needs courage
Because they aren't murderers. Wake up.
Not me getting this in my recommended 7 years later because I've been watching a ton of Wicked videos after recently seeing the movie.
Lol same ❤
ooooo I like this darker variety of theory.
Why?
I grew up with this movie and bought in to the obvious ness. This is a neat twist. That's all. @@MaskedMan66
Literally none of this would have been a problem if they had just STICKED TO THE PLOT OF THE BOOK! Glinda is the GOOD WITCH of the SOUTH and DOESN'T APPEAR UNTIL THE END OF THE BOOK! She is greeted by the GOOD WITCH OF THE NORTH, who is unnamed, and DOESN'T KNOW HOW THE SLIPPERS WORK. Also, the Witch of the West is a MINOR plot point, appearing in literally THREE CHAPTERS.
I agree I was like STICK TO THE BOOK
Meloni Winter I know right geez
Meloni Winter the real wizard is the reason why the book was not followed . And is the only reason why everything matters.
Yep well movies suck anyways. Most of them are boring.....books are always much better
Meloni Winter the guards were from a race called the winkies and they were yellow i believe.
Can you do a theory on where the RED brick road leads to in the same movie? I've always wondered where it leads
In the original book, "The Wizard of Oz", the red brick road goes to the Quadling Country. There are four territories in Oz: the Munchkin country in the east, the Quadling country to the south, the Gillikan country to the north and the Winkie country to the west. The Emerald City is in the center. In the movie, we see the Winkies... they are the guards in the witch's castle.
Oh, okay. thnx
Sarah McCabe If, as some theories go, the YBR represents the Gold Standard and thus laissez fairer capitalism, could the RBR represent socialism?
Not that I believe either theory, just having some fun!
Ah not to worry, we like fun :)
You are referring to the original book here, which contain 2 good witches. In this movie, Glinda was the olny good witch.
Also twice, once just before Toto escapes and once just as the captures then the wicked witch says she wants to think about the pain or murder or whatever. She says the second time “don’t hurt them right away” twice she says let’s think about it and give them time to escape so they can kill her.
What?
Am I the only one who thinks it's weird there isn't a witch of the south? Like seriously, witches of the North, East and West but no South.... Suspicious...
The Midnight Assassin Maybe it’s Dorothy?
Well, there is the theory that Dorothy would become the presumed Witch of the South, which would add another witch threat to Glinda's power. After East's death, Glinda then sees a way to get rid the remaining 2.
They combined the North and South witches in the film. In the book, Glinda is the witch of the South. The North witch is an older woman with no name in the book.
The Good Witch of the North goes by either Locasta or Tattypoo.
Not in the original book.
red shoes signify she's under mk ultra. parallel lives equals what she does while under mk ultra vs what she does as herself.
she doesn't have a parallel because she's the same person just with several personality's. the tornado is significant to going through a portal or "switching" once you study about mk ultra handlers then you will understand the man behind the curtain.
Cherie Smith I totally understand- your so right- I have some very deep strange connection to this film since a little girl.
You've been watching the "everything is mind control" channel.
i believe the magic wand is a pentagram, and her hat seems like a pope hat, in min 12:54 more pentagrams

We can debate the ethics of that, but she was not singled out. She was not "body shamed," she was asked to lose weight. It is true that according to the studio's dictatorial standards of beauty, she was considered unattractive, but ultimately, the American public fell in love with her for her talent as well as her looks.
Who compelled me to rewatch this in 2024?
GLINDA.
Dude, you have way too much time on your hands to be able to cook up all of those theories. But, since it's HILARIOUS, and quite entertaining, I'll give you an 'A++' for the execution of the video!!
This vid took 2 hours to make lol
Lol I can tell you took your time, that's why it's so well executed.
Dorothy of Kansas is the heart and soul of the US.OZ is the American Dream.Elvira Gulch is the WW of the East. She represents monarchism and the British Empire, with the silver slippers of the book representing the British Pound Sterling. Ironically, Elvira owns half the county back in Kansas. The WW of the West is the WWotE's twin and represents fascism and slavery.The Yellow Brick Road is the gold standard. The poppy field is the temptation of drugged/altered states -- also of apathy and complacency.The Emerald City is a hayseed's idea of NYC. It also represents power and commerce and success.The Scarecrow, Lion, and Tinman are attributes guiding Dorothy through the American Dream of OZ -- Wisdom, Courage, and Compassion.Toto is Latin for "all". Toto is a catalyst all the way through and represents God/Dorothy's faith walking with Dorothy.Glinda is manipulating everything, as you point out, but not for evil ends. Baum was a freemason. Glinda is freemasonry -- Glinda is the Illuminati goddess. And this manipulation was supposed to be benign, not sinister.
What in tarnation?
+the acutal bajmahal But, the Illuminati are evil though, so saying that Glinda is representing the Illuminati's deity is in itself reiterating that Glinda is evil.
I agree with you and I want to add something you may have missed. As a former film student and a writer I have used shoes many times in my stories to symbolize taking someone's place. This actually happened to my friend's in real life where one took the other one's shoes and his car and took off as a blatant sign of disrespect so I have always had this in my head as a metaphor. Obviously the legs under the house are symbolic of what is about to happen to Dorothy and Glenda has placed them onto her symbolically showing she is filling the shoes of the dead person. I can think of not one positive reason to wear a dead persons shoes this is a social taboo it is amazing no one ever has ever pointed out how twisted and creepy that scene is? Glenda obviously has the culture industry PR machine deep in her back pocket and uses every trick in the Edward Bernays hand book to sway public opinion to the point they think its a great and magical thing for a little girl to put on shoes stolen right off a dead person still warm. So most likely Dorothy is going to take the blame for the wizards fate as you have pointed out. re-watching that scene it looks like Glenda she's hiding behind Dorothy and she when she threatens the wicked witch that a house could fall on her next that's classic mob boss dialogue. Not to mention she was lead down a road by little fairy people who in legends almost always trick people. And she meets a lion who fears someone a heartless tin man, and a straw man. Basically straw mans definition sums up your theory nicely. I can't help think now that it is supposed to be Dorothy's legs trapped under the house. Also this will answer a question below- Dorothy and Toto are female version of the tarot fool card which represents the star constellation Orion and Canis major who are facing eternity, the bull Taurus the center of the galaxy. The first step to ascending the tarot is the death card so it would make sense the dead witch is Dorothy beginning a new perception. Let me know what you think.
Reina Herrera good point on the tarot
Reina Herrera when I clicked Read more,I was like "Oh hell no! I ain't reading this!"
Best theory of 2017, So comment
So far it's the only theory vid...
Salt's RUclips Channel that's the point
Salt's RUclips Channel Exactly. He's only saying that because it's inarguable, even if it's the best by default
Matt Scott true
mind blowing
this is like that mad tv version where all the characters get angry at glenda calling her out for her evil ways
That was Family Guy. Not Madtv.
they did it on Mad TV too though
You know how Dorthy lives with her uncle and aunt, where's her mom? Dorthy's dad died from a lung disease. Glinda is someone who is traveling! So the reason why she knows all the things is because she was being told by her sister Emily! When Dorthy was 3 her father died of lung cancer, Glinda wanted to give her kid a better life by sending her to Emily, her sister. So Oz is a place where all doppelgangers live. Glinda put her family in Oz. Her mom was the wicked witch of the East. Her sisters neighbor as The wicked witch of the West. Her daughter was to be the witch of the South. So when Glinda asked are you a good witch or a bad witch and Dorthy says I'm not a witch at all, Glinda is upset with Aunty Em, because Emily was aware of her sisters world, but wanted nothing apart of it, so she didn't tell her niece and that's why Glinda lied to Dorthy. Glinda just wanted to have a world where her daughter can learn her family ways.
jewelz 555 does it say in one of the books that her dad died from a lung disease?
jewelz 555 the thing is I always figured that Auntie Em is not a blood relative. Uncle Henry was Dorothy's father's brother, the evidence for this being that she has the same last name as her aunt and uncle. Or he may have even been her father's uncle, judging by the age that Henry and Em supposedly are.
wow...that also makes since xD
Wow my childhood was a lie
Wow, this is so interesting, may I ask where you found out about this? 🤗
This could be a theory:
You don't meet Dorothy's real mother in the movie, she just has Aunt Em. What if the reason Dorothy doesn't have a parallel in Oz is because she was actually born there; then, the reason Glinda brought her to Oz because she is actually Dorothy's mother who sent her away because of the other witches. Then she brought Dorothy back because she wanted to see her and knew that she was the only one who could truly defeat the witches and gave her the shoes to help her on the journey to Emerald City. The reason why she could have sent the balloon away after that is because then she could send Dorothy home and look like a hero to her daughter.
Would you go to the scene of a murder take the shoes off the dead body and put them on your daughter knowing the most vile evil your world knows would see her wearing them and blame her? Just watch that scene you can clearly see Glenda is hiding behind Dorothy no parent would do that.
Good point but maybe Dorothy was part of a destiny and Glinda sent her away because she didn't want it to happen to her daughter but eventually, after over a decade, she gave in and reluctantly followed through with it- but she had to stand behind Dorothy to stop herself from trying to rescue her child and also trying to hide the fact that she had been a terrible parent and she was her true mother.
Did you read my comment that I have been through film school and a common writing technique in film is to give a person another persons object symbolizing a transfer of responsibility? Look how many anti hero action and horror films end with the average joe having to steal a police car. He has took the law in his own hands. The shoe thing I have used in my own writing.just like in Cinderella it called if the shoe fits.
You have your opinions and I have mine, it's just a theory anyway it doesn't have to be true necessarily.
True or not, I like it, makes sense.
this video got very dark
Team Pikachu I was afraid of the wicked witch now I don't know I if can watch once upon a time because zelena is there
kid buu dont worry zelena is amazing
+noob saibot That wannabe is no more the WWW than "Elphaba" is.
The play and now the movie confirms all of this. The wicked witch isn’t even wholly wicked just framed as a cynical ploy from Glinda and the wizard to be cast as a villain for being green.
Wicked isnt canon to the Oz universe. Thats like saying fanfic confirms something
WARNING do NOT watch at night. Glinda's face gets SCARYYYY😂😂 WARNING 2 your childhood will be ruined
Ella Lloyd it's 12 am here lmao
Ella Lloyd I got so scared I skipped
Ella Lloyd ikr I am shook
Guys seriously?
Ella Lloyd omg ikr bahaha i got so creeped
See the wicked musical. It may not be cannon, but it gives insight into the story.
Yes I agree
The book wicked by gregory maguire is what the play is based on. It's supposed to be a sequel of wizard of oz.
The word is canon, and as it isn't canon, it gives no insight into the story as presented in the MGM movie, and certainly has zilch to do with the book.
Uncle Henry doesn't have a doppelganger
that what i said but on the other hand he was not very important
he was properly dead the whole time :O
He is Toto in Oz! lol
TheatreNerd 82 He could have been the scarecrow enchanted back home
In the musical he is typically also the guard that let's Dorothy into Oz x
Two ways to never be able to see the wizard of oz the same again:
1. See the musical wicked
2. See this video
CORALINE! That was the puppet movie I was looking for. I forgot the title. Thank you sir!
Halpin2006 lol
Halpin2006 AND IT’S ON NETFLIX!
Halpin2006 coralline freaked me out sooooo badly. I didn’t think the movie was scary, I just though the button eyes were creepy. Lol
When i was younger coraline terrified me. If i ever saw a picture of it i was cover my eyes and scream and cry. When ever the lalaloopsie (i dont how its spelled) adverts would come on i wld have to turn off the tv. I couldn't even say coraline or lala loopsie. I was terrified. Still to this day it gives me the creeps ahahahah
Sorry i just had to say coz u said abt the movie
Halpin2006 puppet movie??
I remember seeing The wizard of Oz play when I was 5 years old. We got to meet the actors and actresses. I was scared of the ladies who plays the green witch. Today I think that shows her acting skills.

I'm currently reading a book called Dorothy Must Die. It's obviously about The Wizard Of Oz. It's about another girl from Kansas coming to Oz, the girl is Amy Gumm. The thing is, though, everything is different. Basically, you can't trust the good witches or Dorothy and her friends, and the wicked are the trustworthy ones. It's a bit hard to explain. Here are a ew things about it:
You might say though that Dorothy went home, and yes, that's stated in the book, but Dorothy came back and got hold of some magic, became addicted, and everything went downhill from there.
Also, Glinda is a evil character in the book! The book I'm reading, I mean. Before you even announced Glinda as being the evil one, I was already chanting it.
Anyways, this was a useless comment I took five minutes to make, and I hope you all enjoy the rest of y'alls lives.
(Btw I suggest y'all read the book!)
spicypear i read some modern prequel to oz that featured the characters- witches etc when the were younger and socialized even having sex!
Interesting name choice. Judy Garland's real name was Francis Ethel Gumm.
That sounds so good
Any suggestions to where i could find it?
spicypear Thanks for the info on the book. I'm definitely going to have to check it out. Btw, who is the author?
I have always been convinced that Glinda is evil. Even as a kid I always thought she was too nice, and she knew that Dorothy always had the magic to go home too, Glinda is a Pretty-Pink-Demon in disguise.
You don't make any sense.
Same. a lot of young kids felt something off about her and now as adults we can more easily pin point it. It's the whole wolf in sheep's clothing thing.
........................ Glinda.
What about her?
this aged so well… with wicked this makes even more sense
“Glinda”
“GLINDA”
“GlInDA”
Is that like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
You kept messing with Glinda and Auntie Em's faces in the video! 😂
This theory is kinda shown in Wicked when Galinda is worse than The wicked witch and in responsible for the sisters death and bringing Dorothy
Madam morrible made the storm come
Brianna Hucke wow that's correct
I would argue that Glinda wasn't intentionally worse. She simply represented the type of person who sees that there is a corrupt nature of those in power. Although this allows them to stay in power or in high status and feels that there is nothing they can do to stop the corruption, so why not ignore the inevitable and gain the benefits. It's not something that people would necessarily evil it's more selfish.
Jonathan, did you read the book or you just know the musical?
I love that the OZ universe embraces fan fiction. Wicked and other books are just fan fiction. This theory is too and would make a great oz horror movie
Do a theory on Labyrinth!! David Bowies birthday is coming up :)
Agreed
yes. pls
Olivia Petersen YES PLEASE
This absolutely MUST happen!
I need a Labyrinth theory now that it's been mentioned!!! God that movie was great!!!
