See the "wonderfully", which is where I feel it fails to deliver.

...Actually, okay, Ozma was kind of awesome. And I don't remember the 'Wizard' book very well. But the movie -- everyone in the movie could have been outsmarted by your average kindergartner.

[(Anonymous)]

... because it's a children's book. I'm not sure how that's a valid complaint?

[(Anonymous)]

I guess it's not, if you don't mind all the characters being very stupid?

[truxillogical]

Are you familiar with fairy tales? (And also children's literature from the early 20th century?)

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like those very much, either.

[truxillogical]

You don't have to like them. But personal taste doesn't change the fact that the Oz books were, in fact, women-centric.

[(Anonymous)]

I just don't see it as that much of a loss.

When you expand it to "all the Oz books" it feels like more of a loss, actually. Some of them were pretty interesting. But the movie? Meh. It's like -- the story of Snow White has central female characters, but I don't feel very invested in their female-ness either.

[truxillogical]

Your personal feelings don't actually change the facts. It's not a matter of whether or not something is arbitrarily "good." It's a matter of it being a story driven by, and largely populated by, female characters.

I have no idea what the concept of "invested in their female-ness" is supposed to mean, but it makes me think of Arcee and other various pink characters from the 80's/90's.
