Just as ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' has been routinely reinterpeted as being darker and/or more [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs drug-related]] than intended, the ''Land of Oz'' books is reinterpreted as more [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical political than intended]]. This dates back to the 1900s but it became especially prominent after a 1964 article by Henry Littlefield theorized that the first book was an allegory on the 1890s debate regarding monetary policy.

TRS wick cleanupSurprise Creepy has been split and disambiguated


The series is known for its SurpriseCreepy, with a fair amount of FamilyUnfriendlyViolence and NightmareFuel for a children's series. Many readers have also noticed some oddities about how Oz is presented (often due to ValuesDissonance), such as how [[BanOnMagic no one but the two regents are allowed to use magic]], Ozma having a Magic Picture [[BigBrotherIsWatching that lets her see anywhere, Glinda having a Book of Records that records anything the instant it happens]], or how the former Wizard of Oz is [[EasilyForgiven treated as a "good man" despite all his previous misdeeds]]. It's essentially a dictatorship, but it's a ''benevolent'' one, so few citizens are unsatisfied. Still, these implications are enough to make writers brainstorm.

* WebAnimation/{{AlgicosathlonCamp}}'s second season takes place in Paradise Beach, inside an island with a beautiful landscape, trees of many kinds and mountains, but it's actually a getaway place because of an attack of Smile Dogs that destroyed the original location of the [[series ShowWithinAShow]]. And worse, there's a portal from the mainland to the beach, which was already discovered by the Smile Dogs.
