* TheAtoner: Instead of gifting placebos and getting away on a hot air balloon, in the 1978 film The Wiz gets thoroughly scorned by Dorothy and her companions for being a phony liar who attempted to send them to their deaths by asking them to kill the Wicked Witch, and begs them for mercy and to not leave him all alone, genuinely regretting his actions. In the end Dorothy does advise him to go out and try find his place.

* AdaptationalKarma: Of sorts. In the 1978 movie this incarnation of the Wizard does not get EasilyForgiven for all his lies, manipulations and indirect attempted murder via requesting the death of the Wicked Witch, and he stays in Oz where he'll have to get out of his palace and make a living fairly. Dorothy encouraging him to do that is the kindest treatment he receives after TheReveal.
