* EvilIsSexy:
** The main villain is a HotWitch in a different flattering outfit in every other scene, and she has to leave her cleavage on display to activate the flying monkeys. And Kathleen Robertson tends to deliver her lines very seductively. [[spoiler: Of course she's thankfully just possessed and not truly evil]].
** Zero is TheDragon to Azkadellia and [[spoiler: doesn't have the excuse of being possessed]], so he's quite evil. He's also a PrettyBoy, and the third episode has a sequence where his armour is taken off and he's left in a tank top.

** The film is also a loose adaptation of a fairy tale from Victorian times that makes the heroine and the villainess sisters, where [[spoiler: the latter turns out to not be evil, and is saved by ThePowerOfLove (specifically familial love)]]. ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' would follow many of the same beats.

He was already known for ''Series/BandOfBrothers'', but would become a more famous character actor afterwards.
* VanillaProtagonist: DG is the NaiveEverygirl like the original Dorothy Gale - brought from the human world to the OZ and thus experiencing the more colourful supporting cast through her perspective.

* BrokenBase: Zooey Deschanel as DG. Half the viewers find her the wrong choice for such a role, feeling her acting is far too wooden and disaffected in parts. But there are just as many who enjoy her in the part.

"You guys are out of your tiny minds" is silly but still also quite funny.funny.
** Azkadellia summons flying monkeys from tattoos on her cleavage. It should be the most ridiculous thing in the world, but it works.



* WTHCastingAgency: Zooey Deschanel is seen as a casting mistake, with her acting being seen as too wooden or disaffected for the role. [[BrokenBase There are some who like her in the role though]].

Major spoilers.


** [[AncientEvil The Witch of the Dark]], the real "WickedWitch", is the being possessing Azkedellia and the one behind all the misfortune in the series. When DG and Azkedellia, young heirs to the throne of Oz, accidentally unearthed the Witch from her seal, the Witch promptly possessed Azkedellia and tried to make her murder her own sister. As the years pass, the Witch turns Azkedellia into a despot who twists the O.Z. into a hellish [[DystopianOz dystopia]] where innocents are tortured and murdered every day. Unsatisfied with what she's done to the O.Z., the Witch plans to force a permanent eclipse over the O.Z., leading to TheNightThatNeverEnds and the subsequent [[OmnicidalManiac death of all life]] within the O.Z.

When Cain confronts Zero, the latter gloats about what he did and shoots Cain in the heart.

Unapproved Magnificent Bitch entry.


* MagnificentBitch: Azkadelia. She overthrows her mother, tricks DG into leading her to the Emerald, defeats the Tin Men and almost succeeds in her plan to trap the OZ in eternal darkness. The only reason she doesn't is because she does a HeelFaceTurn, not because the heroes defeat her.
** It runs in the family; while the queen is a more benevolent version of this trope, she counts with her plan to "banish" Ahamo, hide DG and implant memories and codewords to make her come back at the right time, as well as hiding the Emerald.
