There is no sexuality in Oz, you dumb creepy perverts. There is no sex in Oz. Baum didn't write heterosexuality (also known as "normal, regular") or homosexuality, because his stories were light fairy-tales for children.
Stop inserting your weird, obsessive pervert thoughts into everything, including media for children.
I remember Highschool when they told me Wizard of Oz was an allegory to modern times, even though none of that was true when Baum wrote it. They can't imagine a world that is just love and whimsy.
You can interpret anything into anything really. That's why I don't listen to any interpretations, don't read any and back in school I would fight with teachers because they didn't agree with my interpretation of stories, speeches etc.
Of my top 5 most annoying phrases “reflect the modern world” is definitely one of them. There was a time when a reimagining didn’t mean total garbage. I enjoyed the Wiz because I love the music of Diana Ross and Michael Jackson/J5. I thought the reimagining of Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland that Sci Fi channel did 15 or so years ago was decent. But back then “reimagining” didn’t mean cramming down left wing politics or injecting unnecessary diversity. MAKE YOUR OWN STORIES!!!!!
Remake of a remake, because the last one was just few years ago.
They whine so much about Lovecraft (and used to do about Tolkien, now they just pretend he was woke) but the author of Oz (Frank Baum) was hilariously genocidal against the Injuns and they never mention it on soshal media, guess they might start now.
Someone should make a ww2 movie where german nazi's reflect the modern world. Have a black gobbels and a lgbt feigelein. Hahah bro... that would be funny as fuck.
Think about the circular nature of this. Trannies co-opted Dorothy because she was a symbol of feminine innocence and young beauty. Now Dorothy can be played by a tranny because it’s on-brand with their cultural appropriation.
So, Dorthotricykleena capped a bitch for her shoes and she and her trick friends are now being chased by the popo across the hood trying to find a way back to her grandmama's house?

That only encourages them to sexualize these stories.

Yeah, I remember this feeling, too…
Always very irritating to be told “No, your interpretation of this fictional story *is wrong! How can you think it is anything other than X!”
Harry Chapin (I think) - “Flowers Are Red” comes to mind… 😑
It was actually about the gold standard and fiat currency
No it wasn't. I've heard several commentaries, and none of them would have been at the right time. All of them come several decades after the fact.

A book written in the 1890's and the first person to mention it was in 1964?
so?

And anything talking about "bodies" and "spaces". EDIT: Oh, and anything having to do with "living their best life"
Agreed
Tin Man. That was pretty alright show
That’s it! I couldn’t remember the name.
"Updated for modern audiences" is probably the biggest red flag there is.

Hey, it was always woke. Just like Tolkien would be 100% in agreement with todays values. Ignore the many articles demonizing him that you saw before.
Correct (Emerald City). And it was already woke.
And was cancelled after the 1st season.
the question is will they hire real midgets to do the buttsex or will they by CGI?
Like they have the budget for real midgets.
It will be 200 CGI copies of Peter Dinklage.
..So that he can go fuck himself multiple times.
That's a lot of Dinklage...
Instead of a brain and a heart they'll be looking for a set of fake tits and a grafted shlong. Perfectly reflects today's society.
The Wizard will be renamed to Hirschfeld and is now a renowned gender reassignment surgeon.

You are describing one of the recent battlefield games.
They already did have that with "The Wiz"
came out in '78. It had Diana Ross as Dorothy, Nipsey Russel as the Tinman, Michael Jackson as the scarecrow and Richard Pryor as The Wizard.
Place your bets!
I got Dorothy as a trans (because come on the red shoes being a big part, they'll do the trans thing)
The lion probably to represent white people somehow, scarecrow black and the tin man one of the spectrums

it's not meant to "reflect the world", it's meant to be some shit a girl's dreaming up, using what she's seen on the fucking farm.
The wizard of oz is already the gayest thing on planet earth so let’s try and not take the bait on this one fellas
Do these kind of films actually make money?
No, but thats okay. They're looking for a Producers type deal. Big write off for a huge failure.
Scarecrow's going to ask the wizard for a new penis. /s
Never watch sequels: derivative. Never watch remakes: corruptions. NEVER watch revisions: gay.
The Tranny Tin Man will want a vagina now instead of a heart
Just give him a fleshlight implant and he's good to go

"If I only had a vagina"
Gives new meaning to "Come out, come out, wherever you are."
So, Dorthotricykleena capped a bitch for her shoes and she and her trick friends are now being chased by the popo across the hood trying to find a way back to her grandmama's house?
I went from not giving a shit about queers to hating fags now because of shit like this.
