How do you feel the Marvel series handled Ozma?
Isn't it 1:1 with the books?
>>151822347Like the books, any serious conflict disappeared as soon as Ozma got her hands on that Magic Belt. I get it’s a kids book, but there was some serious danger in the first two.

>>151822631True, at least for his first appearance. It’s after that I disliked. Even when he allies all the evil beings of Oz together, they’re so effortlessly defeated it feels like a waste of time.
>>151822347So the second book was originally written as a screenplay correct where a woman playing a boy (that was custom at the time) was actually a woman the whole time then people misconstrued the author’s intention?
>>151822651There is speculation that it may have been the intention, the stage adaptation of the first book was popular and the second book may have been written under the assumption that it would be adapted in the same way, but there is no concrete evidence that the book itself was written to be anything other than a book.
>>151822638>>151822638Since you seem to know a lot about this, Why doesn’t Toto speak in the first book when every other animal in Oz does? He doesn’t even speak that much in later books iirc.
>>151822693I have a vague memory that he can talk, he’s just a quiet person and rarely does. If there’s an answer beyond that, I unfortunately do not know.
>>151822347Thirsty.
>>151822347I still want an animated series in this style
>>151822347Both Baum and Marvel are highly satanic. This was just made to upset christians
>>151822693>>151822771He somehow knew about The Wizard and Michelle Yeoh's ICE.
>>151822347I hated that they made her a troon
>>151822693He doesn't want toThe only words he ever says is no when Dorothy asks him if he wants to talk
>>151822792How?
>>151823394Wasn’t she always?
>>151822777What did he mean by this?
>>151822651>>151822672Yeah, people pointed out at the time that it could easily be adapted to a stageplay and elements of the stage version of Wizard affected the book but it was written as a book first.If it had been a screenplay from the start, then he probably would have used that rather that write a new one focusing on the Wogglebug.
