Greetings, everyone. This is Antibishonen Speaks talking about current events and relationships. Well, Walt Disney’s released Oz: The Great and Powerful and another studio released Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return, so let’s analyze Dorothy in the first two movies.
The first movie, The Wizard of Oz, don’t need much explanation though it baffles me how she managed to survive a hurricane when her house was caught in the center of the tornado.
Don’t tell me it’s magic!
As for the movie, it’s a classic tale where you get to squish witches with a house, snatch other peoples precious slippers (I won’t make an obvious joke), and realized in the end that your adventure to the Emerald City was pretty pointless because Glinda didn’t tell you about the shoes magical powers. To the movies credit, you get to see Dorothy bitchslap The Cowardly Lion and unintentionally destroy Elphaba with plain-ass water.
So, with that classic tale closing with her back in Kansas, you thought it would be a wonderful homecoming, right?
Unfortunately, her return to Kansas wasn’t pretty because six months after her trip back in Oz, she was declared legally insane and was confined to shock therapy. That’s what you get for discussing flying monkeys, talking scarecrows, and witches that can be killed by plain-ass water.
This is the basis of Return to Oz, another nifty movie created by Walt Disney. You know how Walt Disney movie works; they create a charming tale where all the kids can dance around and sing classical songs.....
(Return to Oz)
‘And scare the bejesus out of you.’ Disney was at its darkest point. This was released around the same time ‘The Black Cauldron’ was in theaters and it’s no wonder many viewers don’t remember this darker sequel. I mean, there’s the headless witch, the creepy wheelies, and the Nome King known to steal the ruby slippers (Again, won’t make an obvious joke).
Nevermind the Wicked Witch of the West, it’s the Nome King everyone should worry about in Oz. Take a breather. Hold on a Care Bear.
She can’t leave because the Nome has the slippers. She took a glimpse of Oz, that’s pretty much in ruins. Also, getting stalked by wheelers is frightening. Don’t forget the fact about the trauma she had at the institution. At least she has her new friends including Tik-Tok, not making a Kesha reference, Jack Pumpkinhead, and Gump who can fly! Almost forgot, there’s a talking chicken name Bellina.
Sing Earthbound if you want, but her life was on the line because she had to find Scarecrow in an inanimate object, which is green-related.
You better run, because you pissed off the Nome King. He’s a hothead! So he ate Gump (partially), and now he wants to eat Jack Pumpkinhead.
Look, he’s flying! But wait, his life’s on the balance because there’s a chicken and eggs would melt the Nome King. What do you know, it melted the Nome King, but not without a scary Raiders of the Lost Ark montage.
So finally, Dorothy, frighten by everything she saw, wished Oz back the way it was. Heh, she pulled a Dragonball Z. Surprise, surprise, everything went back to normal. Just like in the previous installment, she was sent home to Kansas, again. There’s a little twist in the ending, the institution was struck down by lighting, slaying the doctor and many other employees in that hospital because they messed around with Ozma who happens to be the true ruler of Oz. Karma’s a bitch!
That’s pretty much the tale of Dorothy and her journey to Oz. Yes, Oz looks like hell, but it NOT as bad when Dr. Oz discussing about the uncivilized nature at Oz penitentiary!
This is Antibishonen Speaks. For those who were incarcerated in Oz, prepare for Preparation H.
