The Wicked Witches of Oz

I always thought in the Wizard of Oz it was strange the lack of emotion the Wicked Witch had for her sister and I really like this song so I created this.

When I was a kid, I used to *hate* the Wicked Witch of the West, but I still admired her in an odd way.

Now, I just feel so incredibly sad when I see her onscreen because I know that she was just misunderstood...

ah, but she wasn't

[furyplum44]

[Randompumpkin]

[chaddirects]

yeah not all witches are evil. power is power, just depends on what you do with it.

@Yakerina You've completely missed my point. I'm saying that people can look at the Wicked Witch in the Wicked perspective or The Wizard of Oz. The Wizard of Oz she is just plain mean, end of. In Wicked she is both but more softened. I prefer The Wizard of Oz as it's a classic, been around longer and was one of my childhood favourites and I instantly disliked Wicked when I first saw it because so many moments were very "what the hell?" but it grew on me and I understood the story.

@angelofmusic22 Which book? On Baum wrote or that fanfic?

[Yakerina]

@boffinme80 In the Wizard of Oz, no she was not a bit of both. Nor was she the only green-skinned humanoid in Oz. Nor the misunderstood daughter sired by the Wizard who, before he got into power, fooled around with some air-headed, bored married woman. Nor was the Wizard an alchemist or whatever from our world who'd gone pursuing the book that created the world, yadda yadda.

what wicked does is that it really changes my perspectives of the concept of good and evil. Like Elphaba says "One Question Haunts and hurts to much to much to mention, was i really seeking good or just seeking attention, is that all good deeds are when looked at with an ice cold eye?" But at the same time, the Wizard of Oz invokes nothing but pure imagination and teaches us that light overpowers all forms of darkness, even if that darkness is misunderstanding.

"The REAL deffintion of a witch, like, the original witches, is someone who use evil and satanic spells and potion and pratices witchcraft."

Well, in Wicked, Elphaba was believed evil and she did use spells from the otherworldy Grimmerie book, so...

@Amtrak1194: She was having issues. Once Dorothy plopped in and killed Nessa, Elphie went batshit crazy, to be honest.
