#Wicked #TheWizardofOz - บันเทิง
HAPPY WIZARD OF OZ 80th ANNIVERSARY EVERYONE!!!
👠👠
80 years!? Is public domain now!? That's mean I can copy it and putt it on the internet without been arested!?
@Taylor Fraasch oh. Can you help me find a hiding spot?
DisneyVillains Fan16 Today’s it’s birthday?
Taylor Fraasch What?
@@manuelorozco7760 Pretty much. Or at least the 1939 movie's birthday.
Ok so basically the Wizard of Oz wins because it's the original.
Wicked is still my fav 💚
Your comment was spot on ! I have been fortunate enough to have seen both and although I'll seem remise not to give it up to the Original but I give the play Wicked 1000 thumbs up. I absolutely loved wicked.
Bs literally everyone In the world knows the Wizard of it deserves to win it revaluationised the industry and that wicked is absolutely rubbish and practically a copy cat
Lol, no. The 1939 movie isn't the original version- it is not even the first Oz movie.
Wicked is more character driven. You learn all about the motivations of the characters, including the backstory of the Witch of the East.
@@hexum7 wait seriously? What was the first?
I'm sorry but Wicked is far more than just a retelling of Wizard of Oz. It's a exploration of all of Baum's work. Also why do you praise Wicked only give the points to Wizard of Oz. Seriously.
Please compare the books.
im sorry to you because wicked that play your so fond of would not exist without the wizard of oz so the wizard of oz won before thw video even started.
@@genevievedeegan3073 yeah, but wicked is better.
Books?
@Julie Walker have you even seen It live?
Genevieve Deegan wicked is still better though
Wicked will always be superior in my opinion
Yesssss
Same dude
But what if they are both just as good as each other because there both enjoyable.
True
Same
Although I understand the cultural impact of The Wizard of Oz, can we all just agree that both are great in different aspects and that people can love both for different reasons?
Patricio Mejia yes thank you
Amen!
Yess
Yuh
Im glad I wasnt the only one thinking that
You shouldn’t even make the comparison if the original gets the nod “just because”
Wicked reimagines who the wicked REALLY are vs who you Think is wicked in the wizard of Oz.
Life is The Wizard of Oz
When you wake up, it’s Wicked.
What you know as good are really evil and the one you thought you can’t trust is the only good.
@@SparkleP8nterthe world isn't black and white with one being good and the other being bad
@@dariusurbanovic6797 omg do you not get it?!
@@SparkleP8nter I'm agreeing with you yeah I get why you think I don't get it
Bro the movie sucked
Don’t get me wrong, Wizard of OZ is a classic although it’s characters are cliche, the story is pretty standard and the villain is two dimensional. Wicked was a way better improvement from a simple fairytale. Instead of making the Wicked witch (Elphaba) a two dimensional bad guy with only one motivation, they gave her a backstory, strengths and weaknesses, love interests, relatability. It makes sense for wizard of Oz to be nothing but a dream because of it’s “meh” plot and characters, but wicked is far more engaging in my opinion and Glinda also had more character apart from being “the good witch” there was actual character development, amazing songs, great performances, drama, tragedy, grief etc. It made something bigger out of a simple fairytale.
even though there's a whole book series of the wizard of oz, don't call characters "meh" unless u haven't actually took the time to read baum's books, plus the wicked wouldn't be here with the wizard of oz so-
Mhylow Cat I have read the series and still think they are a bit meh. I find wicked goes way deeper into backstory. Wizard of oz just is too cheesy and doesn’t go too deep into different characters. I don’t think wicked was stealing from the movie. We shouldn’t take points away from wicked jus because it was based off the movie. I understand the frustration of people saying things when they haven’t read the books but from someone who has, I don’t really like it
I agree completely with this statement. The characters in Wicked have more depth and aren't the classic 1 motivation villains and hero. In fact it provides love and friendship in Elphie's life and creates a sense that evil isn't born it's made.
Mhylow Cat Well I haven’t even read the books, I didn’t know there were books I read a bit of the Wicked book but I really didn’t like it all that much. In the movie’s case it was pretty basic when it came to characters.
Completely true, just because a story existed before another story does not always mean the one prior was better. Although nostalgia is powerful ..wicked is way better story line. This statement is accurate.
Without Wicked, I would not be where I am today. Literally. This was what introduced me to theatre. When I tell u I am a mega-fan, that is no joke. I have had a Wicked themed birthday party, know every word, lyric, blocking, and everything else in between bc I have the original script both signed by the cast and a clean copy and have seen the show twice along with seeing Idina Mendzel in concert. Also read all the oz books and the Wicked series. Beat that 😂
Jen Klen lucky you. I met Idina Menzel when she was here in Virginia a few summers ago. Best night of my life
Same it’s my favorite musical; also it premiered on October 30 by birthday and the book it was based on was published in 1995 the year I was born
On Halloween i was Elphie xd
Yeah I think your the most dedicated fan ever!
I know quite a few in that exact boat.
*Round 1: PLOT*
It should be a tie, because the plot in Wicked is far more sophisticated, but yet it is molded around the Wizard of Oz's.
*Round 2: CHARACTERS*
Wicked. They're more deep and interesting.
*Round 3: THEMES AND MORALS*
Wicked.
*Round 4: MUSIC*
A tie. The Wizard of Oz songs are classics, and really original. Wicked's are straight masterpieces.
*Round 5: LEGACY AND CULTURAL IMPACT*
Obviously the Wizard of Oz.
*WICKED:* 4 points
*The Wizard of Oz:* 3 points
But we must take into account that Wicked is literally a prequel to the Wizard of Oz, so for creating something so wonderful it deserves... 1 more point!
*So it's a tie!*
This is just my opinion, please take no offense. And thanks for all the likes :) And happy 80th anniversary❤
Nopeee while I would read the books. Wicked has never struck my interest and I have no interest what is clearly more aimed for well I guess "musical" lovers. I like a musical but this isn't one of them.
@@Moonstone2732 Actually it was the novel that came before the musical that got my attention. You should try it: Wicked, The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of The West. Anyway, I can't say that I share your opinion.
Well, I personally agree with the comment. Also, no one enjoys EVERY exploration on source material (look at “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “The Legend of Korra”; the audience was so divided when watching the sequel series). Sometimes I feel the categories are a bit one-sided, like that last one. Also, they’re not comparing the book to Wicked: the musical; they are comparing The Wizard of Oz (1939) to Wicked; the musical.
I concur. It should be a tie.
@@Moonstone2732 Oh be quiet 🙄
🎶 And nobody in all of Oz no wizard that there is or was is ever gonna being me down!
Look at her she’s wicked get her!
Bring me down!
So we have to bring her
Ahhhh!
Down!!🎶
I hope your happyyyyyyyyyy
And all of a sudden defying gravity playing in my head, my all time fav song and bway musical 💚
Wicked is a twist of the coming of age story through the eyes of two best friends from different backgrounds. It also shows the different ideas when it comes racial problems and the status quo. Which is why the musical is still so popular and relevant today.
Popular good choice of words
Rivals turned best friends/mutual lovers turned unwitting enemies, you mean (in a perfect world, Gelfie would've been in a poly threesome with Fiyero).
You should do Wicked the book vs Wicked the musical...very different stories.
I've only read the book and never seen the musical. From what I've seen it doesn't do the book justice. It was actually one of the coolest/sophisticated pieces of literature I had the pleasure to read. I see none of that encapsulated in the musical.
@@Karlwasright it was a very good book, especially with the sequels.
The musical is a bit different as they leave out alot of the Oz politics that were going on. It also never talked about the clock, or her birth or any reason that she was born green. It was the condensed "movie" version as to be expected. There were just alot of important plot elements that were left out for the glamour of the musical numbers. Though it was still a good musical, it was very noticable to me. 😄
I saw wicked last November but I didn't read the book
OmG YES I LOOOOVED the Books
kitty DA COSPLAYER read them, trust me (yes, them, the first is Wicked, second is Son of a Witch, etc)
Looking forward to the movie version of "Wicked".
There's going to be a movie version?
I heard over on Live at Five that Barrett Wilbert Weed wants to be Elphaba in the film version. I think she'd be fantastic!
I’m still freaking out over that announcement! I have GOT to see Brendon Urie as Fiyero, If they don’t cast him I’m gonna cry
in 2021 the movie comes out
Idk, every time they make a movie version of a stage musical it always ends up being mediocre
Wicked is definitely a lot better!!!! 💚
✨✨✨✨
Idina Menzel is brilliant as Elphaba!!
Green girl rools 💚🧹, wizard drools 🤪
Agreed
I hate comparing the two.
@@carolinereadowl6271 YES
I agree! :D
The Wizard Of Oz is a very classic, iconic movie, but it’s kind of random and just seems like the plot is doing whatever it wants the entire movie. But Wicked explains all of that, how the flying monkeys got their wings, why all of the Wizard Of Oz characters need what they go to the wizard to ask for, and why her and Glinda are the way they are. So in my opinion, Wicked has to take the win. 😊
You... you do realise Wicked is not canon, right? I am not ever going to see it because if I did, my sister would correct it constantly.
@@SillyCreatureSally actually it is canon they based off the exact same books. But even if it wasn’t canon there is nothing to correct because it’s extremely accurate and makes sure it doesn’t have plot holes to the og story
Well, what's the backstory of the Tin Woodman? In the OG BOOKS?
@@BookOfBap It has too many plot holes. Like, in the film, the entire Winkie race is green.
@@SillyCreatureSally As far as the 1939 MGM film itself goes, that was to further link them to The Wicked Witch of the West. In every other iteration (both the 1995 novel & 2003 musical versions of _Wicked_ included), the Winkies [1] are just regular people forced to serve The Wicked Witch of the West, with no extraordinary skin color among them to be seen.
1. As far as _Wicked_ is concerned, Winkie was devised as an enslavement term invented by the biased Ozian media to further defame our "beautifully tragic" protagonist, which was why they were otherwise referred to as the Vinkus royal guards (who still resented Elphie because their crown prince Fiyero fell in love with the green girl, even though they detested her personally due to staunchly believing all of the heresy spread about her). This contrasts with most other incarnations, which refers to the oppressed western citizens subjugated by The Wicked Witch of the West as Winkies for the entirety of their time in the story.
So basically the entire video is:
Wicked is amazing but wizard of Oz came first so we’re gonna give it the point
It's true. But it is also true lol Without The Wizard of Oz there would literally be no Wicked.
It's part of the age of remakes and adaptations.
The Wizard of Oz is nothing but a horror movie
I just saw the mushkin got hanged the Tree
It’s a tie for me! Both Wizard of Oz and Wicked are equally beautiful works. But Wicked is more my generation since I was 10 years old when it opened on Broadway.
Could you also do Top 10 Differences between The Wizard Of Oz Movie and Book? If not, Top 20?
yess, the book series is amazing and ahead of its time
That would be great!
Yes please 😭😭
Wizard of Oz is a lot of fun to perform, but seeing Wicked was beyond phenomenal. The staging, the music, the twist on Wizard of Oz. It changes you for good, and that isn't something I can say about the classic Wizard of Oz.
I think the characters should have gone to Wicked. Without Brock and Fiyero there wouldn't be the tin man and scarecrow. Also without the Lion in the cage in Wicked the Lion wouldn't exist. Also wicked should've won. You said all the right things about it. From the awards, characters, set, and the 11th longest running musical on Broadway in history! I mean come on!
Amen
Totaly agree!! Also the plot is so much better!! There are more layers, objectives and intentions!! That should deffinitely go to wicked!
@@olgaevagorou6568 right!?
Love this but it's "Boq"
I think you mean "Boq" not Brock
I feel that it’s hard to fairly compare ‘Legacy/Impact’ between an 80-year old movie and a 16-year old musical. One has had so much longer to become impactful than the other. I do see your point though about the possibility of Wicked not being created without the Wizard of Oz coming first but as someone else says, Wicked expands on more of the original authors multiple stories and multifaceted/multidimensional characters instead of the one story featuring Dorothy. I think it’s a toss up for me.
Msmojo: Wizard of Oz is superior
comment section: so you have chosen DEATH 💀
Wizard of Oz IS better tho
I like "wicked" more then "the wizard of oz"
than*
Same
There even for me because I grew up watching The Wizard Of Oz, but Wicked is amazing 😍🤷🏼♀️
@@jadon121 alwhats the difference
Nope
I'm seeing Wicked in November!
I'M SOOOO EXCITED!!!!
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
THAT'S AWESOME, WHERE? On Broadway? or local THEATER?
@@ThisSongILove It's on Broadway in New York!!! 😁💚
BeanBag343 you’ll love it
Edward Jacobus I know. I saw it when it was on tour here in Virginia
Edward Jacobus it’s ok
Wicked, in my opinion, wins in a HEARTBEAT!! It's breathtaking and magnificent, there's nothing better!❤❤❤
For me Wicked is the winner 💚 i relate a lot to Elphaba and I think the story in wicked is more deeper and real also Is not just of the good and bad guys is more complex the characters feel human because you can identify with Elphaba problems like racism. And Elphaba wow she is a incredible character! (Honestly I like her a lot more than dorothy) literally everyone hated her just for her skin even her own family, people treated her like trash, the people wanted to kill her , people didn’t understand her , she misfit and she passed a lot trough her life and she still managed to defy gravity. She is really my inspiration and the reason I love witches Also in my opinion wicked , sure it came after The wizard of oz but in my opinion wicked created their OWN legacy. So I will always Defying Gravity! 💚
Jesus Christ is the way truth and life.
This is the most important truth in existence. To understand this you need to personally read at least three books of the Bible, genesis, Mathew, and one you chose yourself. As you do you must do the inner work Jesus Christ taught. Start with forgiveness. Parents are easiest. Look inside for the grievances we all build up their and practice forgiveness inside your heart. It teaches your soul something important, heals parts that have become clouded.
Please trust me.
If you genuinely open up your heart you discover the truth within.
Jesus Christ is lord.
Dorothy: "There's no place like home..."
Elphaba: "Oh, there's no place like home! "
Wizard of Oz scared the crap out of me as a kid and still creeps me out. My friend dragged me to Wicked and I loved it. Ended up seeing it 2 more times after that, so for me, Wicked is the winner 😃
This video is gonna be

Wicked’s SoundTrack is Fire 🔥
Sarahí Mendoza nope I love this music too
Sarahí Mendoza yeah it is. I actually met Idina Menzel and she was so sweet. I thought she’d be taller though. She was short.
Not as good as the Wizard of Oz soundtrack though

There's no place like home.
I can't handle seeing Elphaba & Galina be anyone else but Idina Menzel & Kristen Chenoweth
Dangansona The first time I saw the show was Eden Espinosa and Megan Hilty
@@manuelorozco7760 I don't remember who my Galinda was, I think it was Megan Hilty, but I know my Elphaba was Julia Murney, they were fine, but they just can't be matched. I went to the TV specail last year, and seeing them Perform Wicked songs again was a dream come ture
Dangansona That’s Awesome. The For Good Group, Idinas Defying Gravity solo and Ariana Grande doing Wizard and I were the best parts
@@Dangansona my Glinda was Annaleigh Ashford, Stephanie J Block, the OG before Idina took over was my first Elphaba or Wicked witch of the west. I love both the 1939 wizard of oz and wicked. Wicked is much better at explaining how the 2 met before the 1939 film.
Look, I loved The Wizard of Oz as a kid and I’ll always appreciate it for being the film to make me love musicals and adventure stories. But now that I’m older, I can’t enjoy the way I used to. Wicked is far more engaging to me and gave me a song that always lifts my spirits when I hear it and one of the best love songs I’ve ever heard.
Happy Wizard Of Oz 80th Anniversary everybody 👠 👠
A lot of people are forgetting the fact that if the 1939 movie never existed, Wicked would not be the same story as we know it now.
You friendly reminder that elphaba "the wicked witch of the west" is 21 years old-
Sure “Wicked” owes “The Wizard of Oz”, but in my opinion, we have a tie. Both have wonderfully presented values, like self worth and self love in The Wizard and acceptance and friendship in Wicked. But the roller coaster of emotions in Wicked gets me so much deeper than The Wizard will ever do ( I mean from “The Wizard and I” to “No Good Deed” and “For Good”)
Wicked will always be my favorite over Wizard of Oz. I love Wicked’s story better than Oz. :)
Same
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
You need to read all three books in the Wicked Trilogy. Dorothy is only a minor character in them.
Wicked is still playing in London west end. (Well it’s on hold due to covid but will be back on as soon as it can)
I prefer wicked over wizard of oz.
Both are amazing. I love Wicked very much, and I always think about it when watching wizard of Oz and vise versa
After "Wicked", we'd see Idina Menzel as Elsa in "Frozen" and Kristin Chenowith as Maleficent in "Descendants".
Dancing Through Life is my favorite song in Wicked 💚
If you like a song, why not sing or dance along. I love to sing along to my favorite Frozen song, but only when i`m alone and no one can hear me. Hehe
Omg same I love it so much it needs more recognition
I have two favorites songs in wicked "What is this feeling" and "defying gravity"
kitty DA COSPLAYER i saw widked 2 weeks ago and im obsessed with what is this feeling!!
I think wicked is better simply because its a lot less 2 sided, everyone has more depth and the plot is a lot deeper
I LOVE WICKED and wizard of oz! Cant wait for the Wicked movie Dec 22 2021
Tye Noe I’m so there
I wanted to scream when I found out about the Wicked movie!
Is it actually happening this time? There has been talk for the last decade!
@@BookNomming yes it is! It will be directed by Stephen Daldry and the official release date (for now) is December 22 2021
Wizard of OZ will always win
just those clips of idina and kristin make me smile
Was it ever a doubt? The original has a far more rich history than Wicked could every hope for. Plus, you cannot beat out that iconic song but man, Gravity is definitely a fun song to sing aloud though. Thematically, Oz has a more hopeful message thats just too timeless.
Wizard of Oz of course.
Edit: I keep getting the Venom movie as an ad and now I'm tempted to watch it. So maybe can you make one of "Best Marvel Movies"?
When my sister did “The wizard of oz” at her high school, she was in the ensemble, she was a tree, a poppy, and an oz girl
Me before watching vid: Wicked! Wicked! Wicked!
*Watches Vid*
Also me: Awww! Why Wizard Of Oz?
Ms Mojo wants the Wicked musical movie adaptation too. I'm really pissed with Universal for filming Cats first rather than Wicked
Once yo seen Wicked can you really go back and look at The Wizard of Oz like you did before?
staggmovie no
True
I don't know, because it's not canon.
@@SillyCreatureSally Exactly. You don;t have to relate the two. I love both, but for different reasons. I don't bring my view of Wicked into Wizard of Oz and vice versa. Two different worlds and will stay as such.
@@wanda7258 Thanks. I was starting to worry that nobody believed me.
For the record, Jitterbug and Over the Rainbow (reprise) are both in the stage adaptation of Wizard of Oz
any people who have no clue about wicked or idina menzel they would have seen the clip of idina singing for good and be like "wtf who is this crazy woman. isnt the green one meant to be singing" lmao
I honestly never liked the Wizard of Oz. For starters it used to give me nightmares as a child. I’ve done two different productions of this in a theatre (the Wiz and the Wizard of Oz) and I still don’t like it. However I love, LOVE, Wicked. Just better in every way and I don’t feel like you really need to 100% know the Wizard of Oz to understand Wicked. Sure it helps but not all that important. But Wicked just seems to stand out when looking at the two.
The Pasty British Guy From Wonderwoman . Each to their own like you say. My main reason for disliking The Wizard of Oz is cause it gave me nightmares as a child. Still makes me uncomfortable, not because it’s terrible or anything. It’s a decent film, it’s just not for me. I can appreciate the film...from a distance lol.
My Favorite songs are "somewhere over the rainbow" 🌈and "defying gravity"💚
These musicals are both fantastic! Having grown up with the Wizard of Oz, I can still sing almost every song word-for-word - and I can now do the same for Wicked. There really shouldn’t be any comparison. They are both outstanding in their own right, each telling the same story but from a different perspective, making each a certified wonderful experience! I thank God I’m able to enjoy BOTH of these terrific shows!
Wishing nonstop blessings to whoever is reading this. Be well and don’t be a stranger ❤️
-Josh Otusanya
Here's my thoughts: one can be without the other, but both enhance each other. (omg I just realized like Glinda or Elphie)
I want to see Wicked (musical) vs. Wicked (book)
It's very different...there is so much that was left out of the musical but they are both pretty good
Really looking forward to the movie but I'm scared it will turn out like cats😂
Although i love the wizard of oz, Wicked is always better!!!
This should’ve been “Wizard of Oz review” not “Wicked vs Wizard of Oz”.
I admit I saw Wizard of Oz when I was a little kid only to not see it again during my childhood and barely remembering it till I saw it again in middle school but man even then Wicked has always held a very special place in my heart. In fact, the very own album itself is my favorite album that I ever owned EVER! I LOVE THAT ALBUM SO FREAKING MUCH! In my opinion, Wicked is FAR BETTER than Wizard of Oz, but I also understand that Wizard of Oz as much as I still love it yet love Wicked better is far more of a classic.
I dint even know wicked existed before this video and I know for a fact that the wizard of oz is more of a classic
I going to forever be mad at the fact that those shoes could have taken Dorothy home at any point.
The wizard of oz vs return to oz 💁🏽♀️😉❤️
Look up "The wizard of Oz" on Google and tap/click on the ruby slippers to see some magic! You'll thank me 😉
We thank you very sweetly!
for doing it so neatly
That's so awesome, I've never seen that before :)
@@sassypants7536 a friend told me about that!
WOAH!
I love wizard of Oz I always watched it it's so good and the famous OG
That “Most popular song” from Oz had me forget it immediately
Personally, wouldn't a comparison between Wicked and Oz: The Great and Powerful have been more appropriate? After all, both deal with the early days of the Wicked Witch.
Yesss you're so right!!
Omg I finished the book a couple of days ago and just watched the movie last night (the wizard of oz) it's like Ms Mojo is reading my mind ❤
ME: *looking at the thumbnail* This is gonna get ugly.
ALSO ME: *after the video* I still find it hard to decide which is better. It's like choosing a favorite between your children!
10:37 the stage version includes both of these songs
Not gonna lie but all of my points went to wicked.
Snow White's! The most iconic Princess of all time. Voice actress was in this. 11:56 There she is. (EDIT:just now sorry.)(Adrianna Caselotti)
I feel like wicked should have won the characters section because in the wizard of oz, there isn't much dimension to the characters but I think wicked is about characters and character growth. How Elphaba is at the beginning, middle, and end of the play is completely different. The same for Glinda
One of the cut songs, The Jitterbug, you can watch on TH-cam, with some deleted scenes. And of course everyone knows Elphaba is played by Idina Menzel, the voice of Elsa in Frozen. She's also Maureen in Rent.
Suggestion:
Differences between Newsies 1992 and Newsies 2012.
Like if you want to.
Wicked has a far more dynamic characters. For instance they all go through some type of major shift. The wizard of oz. Has a lot more basic and shallow characters that don't do though such dynamic changes. So the win goes to Wicked. The Music win also goes to wicked obviously. The Wicked is applicable to all ages where as the wizard of oz is just a childhood movie. So there for the plot is better. A lot of movies have tackled be your self. And I find Wicked as a better theme. Wicked will always be better.
The Wizard of Oz can be appreciated from many levels- symbolic, cultural commentary, comedy, drama, a snap shot of vaudeville, cinematography triumph, psychological commentary, etc. - whereas IMO, Wicked is mirror a straightforward story which has not so many levels to be enjoyed.
The Wicked book has more, but most of that hot flattened out in the stage adaptation. For example, the Dragon of Time, and all that it symbolizes, is referenced a few times, but it's not really incorporated into the play as much as in the book
The wizard of oz revolutionize the industry and is the most known american fairy tale.
Wicked
You are crazy as hell who in their right mind picks wicked over wizard of oz yea wicked is good but wizard of oz is a classic
Yea wicked is better
@@okayadrian141 yall both are nuts
@#💜Mal&Purple💜#🐕4ever how could you think wicked is better yea its good but wizard of oz is a classic
I haven't seen Wicked yet but I would love to see it someday.
Tiffany Corbin Its such a beautiful show
What was the point of comparing these if you're just gonna pick the winner based on it being the predecessor? Just because it came before doesn't mean it is better.
I can only say that I want the original musical cast of Wicked to be back in when they make the movie. I know there's concerns for aging and how their voice changed but I want a second chance to see that chemistry!

well wicked was inspired by the wizard of oz to tell the story from the pov of elphaba the wicked witch of the west
14:10 knew it was coming, was waiting for it, was not disappointed 😂
The wizard of oz was shown in the uk today i love it
i much prefer Wicked than The Wizard of Oz, because Wicked explains the real story as to why and how Dorothy got to Oz, and plus it explains why Elphaba is obsessed with the shoes. Plus Wicked gives the true backstory on the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion.
No, it doesn't.
Pay attention to what I am about to say, please. Do I hear an "ult-roger"? (Ultra Guardians fanatic mode enabled)
Jack Haley played Nick Chopper.
You forgot one of the most important moments/morals of The Wizard of Oz. "Who would have thought that a good little girl like you could destroy all my beautiful wickedness?"
Never underestimate the power of a good little girl to combat evil.
I may or may not be binge watching your videos!!! This one is one of my favorites!!
I've seen wicked on Broadway twice and I used to rent the movie from the library all the time as a kid I love this story so much 🤧
I'm an Oz fan through and through, but since I first heard Wicked (still haven't gone to see it) I can just say I enjoy Oz and everything to do with it even more. So, I prefer both!
So basically wizard of Oz teaches you to kill people who are bad because they have a different colored skin?? Yup wicked is my favorite now
Came here to say I just finished he book Wicked and it needs to be a movie now!
For me personally it's no contest. "Wizard of Oz" by a mile, specifically because of the music.
That being said I understand how to book for "Wicked" suits modern tastes better than the script for the 1939 film.
The question that remains however is this: Will "Wicked" enjoy classic status the way "Wizard of Oz" does? I think not, again, because of the music.
Mojo makes a statement that is highly misleading about the film. They say "the songs stop." Yes. The songs stop, and are replaced by sophisticated film scoring, very much in the way one expects a movie to utilize. Other than that brief moment that quotes Mussorgsky's Night On Bald Mountain the rest of the film score is part of the story telling because it uses the Leitmotif method that identifies characters with a short musical theme. This is masterfully done throughout the 2nd half of the film, thus replacing the "songs".
"Wicked" by contrast just has "songs".
I predict that the musical style of "Wicked" will be very dated 80 years from now whereas "Oz" will still be a classic 160 years after its production.
The character round should have go to wicked. You finally understand why everyone is like he is because of wicked. Not the way around. Really weird reasoning here. Wicked is a way better and deeper story. Not a childs tale like the wizard of oz.
Manon Oudenampsen well that was the point of wizard of oz a family film and wicked doesn’t introduce more character it’s almost the same characters while the wizard of oz have more fun and entertaining characters
Just because something is a children's story doesn't mean it's not a deep story.
You do realise Wicked isn't canon,
@@SillyCreatureSally literally how is it not if it was based off of a book 😭😭
@@blueorangeade3357 Because the MGM film was all a dream, a very strict instruction for the producers.
I like Wizard of oz and Wicked were both azaming.
I may be very wrong but I’m sure wicked’s “Thank Goodness” is a take on “Ding dong the witch is dead” with the same hook and “One Short Day” is a take on “Merry Old land of Oz”
The Merry Old Land of Oz is my second favourite song in the movie, my favourite being If I Only Had a Heart.
The former is great, because I really enjoy the scene, and green is my favourite colour. If I Only Had a Heart is the best in my opinion, because not only is the Tin Man my favourite character, but I'm also a HUGE fan of Jack Haley (who played Nick Chopper, by the way).
Basically,You need to Watch The wizard of oz to Get wicked
Wicked is the POV of Glinda and Elphaba While Wizard of oz Is the one who inspired wicked in The POV of Dorothy,So it fo Ouse son the friendship of The two witches rather than a girl trying to make her way home after ending up in oz
Who actually prefers Wicked than the Wizard of Oz(I love that people actually does!!!😭😭😭🫶🫶🫶🫶I love wicked)

OMG thanks you guy and I relate to her as well I will always be Defying Gravity
