History Awesome / TheWizardOfOz

** Basically the fact that Aunt Em doesn't spell it out loud has proven she's above Miss Gulch. In fact, the expression on Miss Gulch's face afterwards indicated that she told it like it is about her.

* Dorothy herself. I know, she gets a lot of flak for being some kind of [[{{Chickification}} whiny little brat]], but people don't give the girl enough credit. I mean come on! She's had a whole lot thrown at her all at once for crying out loud! The girl does have a lot of guts, if you know when and where to look.
** When confronted by Almira Gulch in the beginning she's brave enough to talk back.

** When she leaves Munchkin land she doesn't complain about not having bodyguards.
** When both the Scarecrow and Tin Man are too scared to fight the Lion, she isn't afraid at all.
*** she even gives him a smack in the snout for good measure to get him to back off her dog.
** When the Wizard makes poor Lion faint, who comes to his defense first? Dorothy.

** The truth of the matter is that Dorothy retains her innocent nature throughout the movie. [[FanDumb Honestly, the people who continue to diss her should try watching the movie more closely.]]
*** And [[FanDumb not take ''Wicked'' as the real story]]

* After the death of the Wicked Witch of the West. It appears that the Flying Monkeys became friendly. And they cheered for Dorothy that the Wicked Witch is dead. And they offer Dorothy the broom.

* The Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man promptly go to rescue Dorothy once they put the Scarecrow back together. They succeed, too. And they're actually pretty BadAss once they get going, [[MuggedForDisguise taking out a few Winkies]] for their uniforms and sneaking in to the fortress.

* The scene where Dorothy opens the door after the tornado, transitioning herself and the viewer from the dull, sepia Kansas to the beautiful, colorful Land of Oz. Even seventy years later, people ''still'' let out gasps at that part, especially when you see it on the big screen. One can only imagine how mind blowing it must've been in 1939. Truly one of the most defining and ''important''moments in all of film.

* "I AM OZ.... the Great and Powerful!"

* "Almira Gulch... just because you own half the county doesn't mean you have the power to run the rest of us! For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you... and now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!"

-->'''Uncle Henry:''' Ohh... [[LiteralMinded she bit her]] ''[[{{Troll}} dog]]'', eh? ''(slams the gate to smack Miss Gulch on the ass)''

* Despite the fact that Glinda's all sugar and sweetness, she should not be underestimated. "Ha, ha, ha! Rubbish! You have no power here. Now begone -- before someone drops a house on you!"

* The Tornado scene when Dorothy sees Gulch, Gulch doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact that she is up 100 feet in the air and in a tornado and just keeps on Cycling. She even takes the time to politely nod at Dorothy before turning into the Wicked Witch. Say what you will about her, but that was pretty badass in 30s standards.
