Hey everyone! So, I just watched this super interesting YouTube video breaking down the connection between “The Wizard of Oz” and “Wicked,” and let me tell you, it was mind-blowing!
The video took us on a journey through the Land of Oz, starting with the aftermath of the Wicked Witch of the West melting, which kicks off “Wicked.” Then, it delves into Elphaba’s backstory, from her childhood to her complex relationship with Glinda at Shiz University.
I gotta say, Gregory Maguire is a total genius for coming up with such a unique and captivating storyline. I’m low-key hoping for a sequel to “Wicked” now because I need more of this world!
The video also touched on the oppression of animals in Oz and how the Wizard is behind it all. Elphaba’s rebellion against him really changes the game and sets the story on a whole new path.
But can we talk about Elphaba’s fate in the end? Like, did she really make the right choices, especially when it came to Fiyero? I have so many thoughts on whether she’s actually the true villain of the story.
And don’t even get me started on the Wicked movie and stage show – I mean, how could Warner Bros. not make that one decision about Elphaba? It’s wild!
Overall, this video got me feeling all kinds of emotions about “Wicked” and “The Wizard of Oz.” I can’t wait to dive deeper into this world and explore more of these characters’ journeys. Let me know in the comments if you’re as obsessed with this story as I am! ✨ #Wicked #TheWizardofOz #ElphabaVibesWatch video on YouTube
