Question of the Day, June 6, 2010



The Tin Man finally has his own movie - and its Steampunk, to boot. What other Wizard of Oz character deserves his or her own movie? What kind of movie would it be?

I wouldn't know, I've never seen it.

*shock horror*

 

[raze2001]

What no Flying Monkeys?

 

[Kollega]

I'd say The Cowardly Lion.

[stupid tagline] He's a lion... And he's cowardly. [/stupid tagline]

The munchkins, obviously, it would be about a factory they all work in, it would make sweets and it would be called Willy Wo- wait a second. Okay then, it would be about them wearing funny outfits, and they would be blue, and it would be for children, we would call it the smu- god damnit, people keep stealing my good ideas!

Scarecrow, I want to know how he came to be.

 

[katsabas]

McFarlane's Dorothy. Ha!

All joking aside, the Lion.

I would say the Wicked Witch, sort of like an origin story musical (sort of like Wicked, in that regard).

But then again, maybe the mystery is for the best. If we knew everything about the world in which a movie took place, it removes the allure and makes it less interesting (you can't argue the Force in Star Wars wasn't more interesting before Episode Suck (Episode 1) explained it).

Toto! I dunno why, it just sounds cool. Like having the dog's take on the whole thing.

 

[N_of_the_dead]

I would like to hear about the scarecrow like how he came into existence, probably after that would be the cowardly lion

 

[DragonChi]

so uh...no tin man? that would have been my choice. im interested in knowing how he came to be.

 

[Layz92]

Wicked Witch of the West.

Origin story, anyone?

I would agree origin story but with the Wizard himself rather than the Witch.

 

[Captain Pancake]

Wicked Witch of the West.

Origin story, anyone?

They kind of already made a play, it was all over the UK and the US, it was called wicked and portrayed her as some kind of high school outcast who was run down by the good witch.

Since tin man has been done, I suppose the only other one worth doing is the scarecrow, although I think it's all good with just the one.

How droll, Is any of those really worthy of a movie? I don't think the world can take another prance down the yellow brick road. Well, unless one lives in Kansas.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

Wicked Witch of the West.

Origin story, anyone?

Wicked?

OT: I say munchkins, they weren't really explained in wicked

 

[A-Heart-Of-Gold]

The Witches already has a film well musical that could be turned in to a film!

Toto rules and it could be cute and filmed by Disney!

 

[child of lileth]

Out of those, the Scarecrow. I still think Flying Monkeys should have been an option though.

 

[Marter]

I'll go with the lion. No real reason, but I may be able to tolerate a movie about him.
