*** Further evidence of the "guardian" thing: notice how when they set up the Wizard's audiences with the people, the throne remains vacant, with the smoke and Oscar's head hovering over it. There is definitely an implication there that he doesn't "rule" the land, he just "watches over" it.

*** Except she's really not overly arrogant. She got tricked and it could have happened to anybody but she was absolutely correct that her army was more powerful, better trained and larger and the Wizard is no wizard at all. Her one mistake was not knowing anything of stage magic (why would she, she lives in a world with REAL magic) that when Oscar starts bringing in the tricks she's absolutely convinced that it's the real thing. If she'd so much as suspected that he was a trickster, and not liar taking advantage of her naive sister the movie would have had a much different ending.

In the 1939 movie, AndYouWereThere is a element of the AllJustADream ending, while in this movie the Land of Oz is clearly real. The duplicating actors are a thematic ShoutOut, nothing more.

There don't seem to be duplicates for Glinda in the original and unless we're accepting the it was all a dream answer (in which case Oz might simply be made up of some combination of all the people who ever made an impression on the visitor. It would even explain why Oz seems to retcon with each new telling, the world literally warps itself around the visitor and their state of mind.) Though I guess if you take this as prequel to the original MGM movie it's entirely possible that when you go to Oz you get a duplicate of some sort. It would explain why Professor Marvel is in Kansas to get caught up in what is presumably a second tornado along with Dorothy and the Wicked Witch. Honestly it's probably best not to think about it too much. Oz, much like Wonderland effectively does what it wants, because it wants, how it wants.
** It's possible but unlikely. As is mentioned on the head scratchers for the Wizard of Oz, Oz seems to function based on whatever rules it feels like at any given moment.

* How does Professor Marvel fit into this movie's universe? We're led to believe that all of the major characters in Oz [[AndYouWereThere have duplicates in the real world]], just like in the original film -- but what about Oz himself, who seems to exist in both worlds? Is there another fortune teller running around who looks like James Franco, but never got around to traveling to Oz?
