History WMG / OzTheGreatAndPowerful

Such that characters exclusive in this movie will be in the upcoming squeals as well.

** What?

Adding a bigger connection between the two characters who look alike. He also takes Oscar's wagon and becomes a traveling fortuneteller.

Isn't that the same wagon?

* I mean, part of the story is that the Wicked Witch only becomes Wicked because of a chain of events that started with her having an uncontrollable attraction to him. You can practically hear the dude fapping from behind a curtain.

Suddenly ALL of the witches are gorgeously attractive? Suddenly the Wizard becomes the most important being in all of Oz and looks like James Franco? Suddenly everything in Oz is a massive CGI spectacle? Surely this was the product of a bored old man tired of thinking up phony ways to solve the problems of the people of the Emerald City and desperate for some entertainment.

By the end of the movie's Oscar Diggs/Oz has essentially adopted the kid and he's friends with the flying monkey. And yet there's not one word about them in the classic 1939 movie and he was perfectly all right trying to head back to Kansas with Dorothy at the end in the hot air balloon. So what happened. I think that at some point during the years between Theodora crossed a line and decided to get rid of those closest to the wizard, destroying what sympathy he had left for her. The only reason he was willing to leave the land of Oz at the end was because he's lost most of those closest to him and he could never be with Glinda properly (she's too busy being a witch and protecting the inhabitants to settle down).

** Wasn't this confirmed?

Likewise, Oscar's followers construct an army of rope-and-pulley clockwork scarecrows to decoy the flying baboons away from the Emerald City. Glinda conjures a fog to conceal the poppies into which the scarecrow "army" lures them. Most of the scarecrows are torn apart by the baboons, but if one of them remained intact, it could've soaked up enough ambient magic from the enchanted fog to become animated for real. The newly-living Scarecrow remained unconscious long enough for a local farmer to tug him out of the poppy field by the rope which had worked his clockwork, take him to a cornfield, and stick him on a pole, thinking he was just a normal scarecrow.

!!Annie and John Gale become Dorothy's parents.

This leaves only the Tin Man with no apparent backstory in the prequel. However, it's possible that one of the Good People of Oz seen in the crowd scenes was actually Nick Chopper, the woodcutter who would later become him.

* Except we see all three witches cry, and only one was burned by the water in her own tears. That's pretty strong evidence of who it'll be whom Dorothy melts with her bucket.

This means that which witch is which is entirely up to you, whether you choose in order to make it line up better with your preferred canon, or just to make sense of why Oz would say the Green-Skinned Witch is always welcome in the Emerald City and then sending Dorothy to kill her.

in the movie, the China Girl obviously doesn't know what glue is; to her, it is only proof that the Wizard is a real wizard. However, in ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'', when Dorothy and company visit the China Country (omitted from the 1939 movie), the milkmaid knows what glue is, and readies to glue back her cow's leg that Dorothy accidentally broke off. Presumably the Wizard taught the Ozians how to make glue, possibly even for this very purpose.

The Wicked Witch of the West is not really Theodora, but a soulless shell of her, beyond redemption -- it's only that the Wizard doesn't know it yet. When he does, he will find a way to reincarnate her good soul into an infant girl named... Ozma. (Hey, this way, she's still technically the late King's daughter!) Only to lose her later to Mombi, which leaves both him and Glinda heartbroken -- and distanced from each other, setting the stage for both ''Wonderful Wizard'' and ''Marvelous Land''.
