This comment and the one above it are perfect. I hadn't thought of the Wizard as a subversion of a classic trope, but he clearly is. In fact, it turns out that they really don't need the supposed "wise" old sage/leader's validation/approval, though they yearn for it anyway. Undoing the subversion just makes the story boring, as you pointed out.

Another subversion is that the real wise sage is Glinda, a witch, subverting the typical wicked witch (also present in the story, though), which had become a very solid trope by that time. The balance of good and evil is in the witches, not the Wizard.
