When I was very young, my mom would often fix me an egg for breakfast. Whenever I didn't want an egg, I would throw a fit and say "Eggs. Poison!" Then I would slip out of my chair onto the floor, whining. She didn't like that very much. lol

That is why I like my egg raw

To think such a big, hulking monster could be destroyed by something seemingly so small and insignificant.

@NaiTaiDai Eggs are a symbol of life and renewal. You see what the Nome King has done to Oz, so you see what he represents.  Dorothy brings Oz back to life.

I would had equipped dorothy with a De Walt kango and chipped his ass too bits no need for a chickens egg -)

Nomes must be stupid and evil creatures, since eggs are a symbol of goodness, right?

[Bitsy83]

Let's see: In Oz, wicked witches are killed with water and nomes are killed with chicken eggs.

Wonder how they'll handle the Jester in "Dorothy of Oz?"

@captaintaco2345 Those are 'Gnomes' with a G. These are 'Nomes' with an N.

@micahstork One, it's a cool plot point that comes from the book this was based on, Ozma Of Oz, which was written in 1907; long before veganism was a thing. Two, The Wizard of Oz was not an allegory at all-- it was a fairy tale written for American children. The allegory idea is cute and matches in some places, but it doesn't hold up when you actually read the book.
