I do hope that if The Wizard of Oz is ever adapted again in any form, I want it to have the 1939 Wizard's tone combined with Return to Oz's technological sensibilities.

Title: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900)
Author: Lyman Frank Baum
Vote: 7/10
Beautiful children's story that has achieved a prodigious level of fame.
However, I was disconcerted by the fact that there are eminent scholars who compare the characters and events in the book to political and economic events in the USA. I don't know if what they say is true or they want to find hidden meanings where there are none but even if there were, is it necessary to stick our hands so deeply into children's stories?

Anti-black racism in the original Oz books
Someone recently made a post about Lyman Frank Baum (author of The Wizard of Oz)'s outright advocacy of genocide towards Native Americans in periodicals in 1890 and 1891, and I made additional comments about anti-blackness that crops up in the Oz books. I don't want to derail that other person's post, however, and want to add further details than what I commented there.
TRIGGER WARNING for examples of anti-black racism.
In The Patchwork Girl of Oz, the seventh book of the series published in 1913, we are introduced to "the Tottenhots," a tribe of racial stereotype characters whose name is a play on the racist term of "Hottentot" (which, incidentally, has an unfortunate usage in the 1939 MGM film). They appear for a chapter, harangue the main characters, then let them stay the night before they go on their journey. They are describes thusly: "Their skins were dusky and their hair stood straight up, like wires, and was brilliant scarlet in color. Their bodies were bare except for skins fastened around their waists and they wore bracelets on their ankles and wrists, and necklaces, and great pendant earrings."
And here are some illustrations by John R. Neill from that book:
The Tottenhots are mentioned in a later book, Rinkitink in Oz, when a prince who has been transformed into a goat is turned back into a human. He is turned into various other 'creatures' first, including a Tottenhot, which is described by the text as "a lower form of a man." Yikes.
(I have not read The Woggle-Bug Book, Baum's children's book from 1905, but I'm told there's racism in there, as well.)
Before someone starts breathing down my neck, I'm not saying this to "cancel" the series or to "apply modern standards to books written in the early 1900s," but I am discussing it because it is imperative we remember Baum's racism and the atmosphere of racism in which the books are written.
Modern fans of the series often racebend the characters, and I enjoy doing this as a particular "Fuck you" to Baum. I've commissioned art where I've specifically demanded Ozma be black. I love all the fanart that has been made of black Ozma and black Dorothy; and I value the notion of modern fans of the series tearing it from Baum's cold dead hands, BUT we also need to keep in mind the racism of the source.

Oz the Great and Powerful (2013, Sam Raimi)
01/02/2024
Oz the Great and Powerful is a 2013 film directed by Sam Raimi and starring James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz. The film is based on Lyman Frank Baum's famous novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and is the ideal prequel to the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.
Kansan, 1905. The young and eccentric Oscar Diggs works as an illusionist in a small circus under the name "The Great and Powerful Oz" and dreams of being recognized as a great magician. Oscar is also an inveterate womanizer, which causes him trouble with the circus strongman when he discovers that he has been flirting with his wife. Oscar escapes him by climbing onto the circus hot air balloon, being sucked into a sudden tornado. While at the mercy of nature's whim, Oscar pleads with God to spare his life, promising that he will try to be a better man.
Once the surreal storm is over, Oscar lands in a colorful and bizarre magical land and is found by Theodora, the "good witch", who, fascinated, believes that Oscar is the chosen one of a prophecy according to which he will eliminate the "bad witch" who murdered the King of Oz, and will in turn become the new ruler. After hearing that the Wizard everyone has been wanting for will come into possession of an enormous treasure of gold, Oscar decides to make everyone believe he is the chosen one and identifies himself with his own alter ego, unaware of the dangers he will have to face. Oscar also saves the life of Finley, a small flying monkey, from a lion, using his circus tricks.
Once in the Emerald City, Oscar meets Evanora, Theodora's sister, the one who guards the Wizard's throne until the arrival of the chosen one.

"El Leñador de Hojalata sabía muy bien que no tenía corazón, razón por la cual se esforzaba más que todos por no ser cruel con nada ni con nadie. Ustedes los que poseen corazón tienen algo que los guía y no necesitan equivocarse, manifestó; pero yo no lo tengo y por eso debo cuidarme mucho. Cuando Oz me dé un corazón, entonces ya no me preocuparé tanto".
"El mago de Oz", Lyman Frank Baum

Introduction
Hello,
I am new to Tumblr. I am still not sure how everything works on this Site, but I will do my best to figure it all out. I came to this Site because I was tired of Twitter's character limit and even if that very rich Man Child will make it bigger, I won't start writing bigger messages than I do at the Moment.
I will continue to be on Twitter because I made some friends there which I don't want to lose.
But enough about that, more about me, I love to read, Books, Comics, in short everything that is written in a language that I can read, I read it. I don't take everything at Face value and I am most critical about nearly everything, my Grandma always said: Your Problem is that you think too much and worry about things you can't change.
My Favourite Authors are ... let's be chronological: Jane Austen, Jules Verne, Lyman Frank Baum, Arthur Conan Doyle, Erich Kästner, Astrid Lindgren, Llyod Alexander, Ursula K. Le Guin, Michael Ende, Bernard Cornwell, Terry Pratchett, George R.R. Martin, Cornelia Funke, Neil Gaiman, Kai Meyer and much more, these are just those who should be more prominent and therefore more well known. Or at least you can find them with a Wikipedia-Page. I didn't read every Book of these Authors, but some of their Works are my all-time-favourites which I always at some time reread.
I usually like it when Books have some tropes, but I really hate the Prophecy-Trope. At least when it makes sense in-universe, so that the Characters can interpret the Prophecy and act accordingly. So there are cases in Stories where Prophecies don't bother me, it would be a better Book without it in my opinion, but in General, I don't care that much about it.
I love to play the Sims 4, and I really love to build Houses. I don't think I have a specific Style, but I think I am a decent Builder. Sometimes I create Houses for Characters out of Books or Houses based on Books. For Example, I tried to build a Russian Dacha after I read Shadow and Bone.
A Book series I don't like that much, giving the only PoV to what I would call a female Love Interest, instead of the male protagonist, just to make sure it could sell more Books to women was a problem during my read. At least it felt like that to me (personal Opinion! There is nothing wrong with that and if you have a different one, good for you), because I got the impression the Author became more and more frustrated with that female Character. In my Eyes that was confirmed after I read how she was portrayed during the last 2 Books in that Universe, holy moly that was a different Character. But If I was together with a Womanizer I would probably change like that too. To all those who want to scream at me, that the Male Protagonist changed because he loved his Female Love Interest, I recommend reading "A Game of Thrones" there is a female character who says:
"Love is sweet, dearest Ned, but it can not change a Man's nature."
And if you do that as a Rule for your Antagonist, do it for your Hero as well, I hate inconsistencies where "Rules for thee, but not for me" is at play. Which happened in these Books more than once. But I like to watch how Authors evolve and change during their Careers and the Author became better since that Debut. So my advice for her would be: To kill that Character in the next Book, if there is one more. If a Character frustrates you get rid of it.
This leads me to my next point, I love to write myself. I am Nanowrimo-Participant and Winner for several years. I started writing because my Father died when I was 10 years old. So it started as a therapeutic measure, but it became a lot more over the years. I thought about publishing, but I made a bad choice and today I am not so sure anymore. But I have some WIP's of my Fanfiction on AO3, which I occasionally update, I mean, when you see that no one reads it, you can update it whenever you want. At the moment I work on 3 Original Novels at once, they are all in one World and because there are references to different Parts, I write them simultaneously. And on top of that I write 3 Fanfictions and plan one more.
So I think that is enough for an Introduction about me, if you have any questions, ask them, I try to answer, it would at least help to find out how this site works.
