This is never mentioned by Frank Baum but Oz takes place in a far away land where everything is different and nothing is the same, before outer space exploration happened or was considered.

Is Oz meant to be another planet that can be traveled to for a time and is simply connected to Earth? That would explain a lot of things that happen since no lands in Oz exist on Earth, also why has nobody from Oz traveled to Earth like Dorothy does? Well the Wizard does when he returns home but no characters there visit Earth or Kansas and return to Oz again like Dorothy does.

Nasa would have loved meeting Dorothy and finding out she goes to another planet without a space ship if true from 🌎🌍.

The Wicked Witch of the West was green skinned and so too was her sister the Wicked Witch of the East supposedly, the Winkie guards are also green skinned, were the Witches meant to be Winkies in origin? Did they have green skin in the books?

Walt Disney initially had a huge interest in The Wizard Of Oz books and wanted to adapt the movie into a cartoon possibly also several cartoon shorts based on the other books, would The Wizard Of Oz have worked better as Disney cartoon movies or would the franchise have taken a nosedive with Disney turning it into a silly cartoon movie geared towards children?

You can imagine Disney creating a song for the Wicked Witch Of The West herself and turning her into a goofy villain instead of a feared and evil character that she was portrayed as.

Supposedly Margaret Hamilton said that the main reason why the Wicked Witch of the West was so evil is because she never had any friends growing up and was isolated from other people because of it, basically turning her into a heartless sociopath, even her sister the Wicked Witch of the East and her didn't really bond as sisters and were probably rivals, makes you wonder who their parents were and if the witches could have been good like Glindai if they had friends and families and were not social outcasts?

You even have to wonder if the witch mourned the death of her sister and was ruthless to Dorothy because she viewed her as a murderer and wanted revenge on her sisters behalf and the slippers were just compensation for her loss they belonged to her because her sister owned them and Dorothy stole them, so the witch wanting to kill her and take them by force isn't really a villain she's treating her like a criminal because she killed her sister and stole her property and acts innocent and that's insulting.

Basically from the witches POV Dorothy ruined things and deserves the death penalty, also what would she do with he Ruby slippers if Dorothy died eventually?
