Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
"Almira Gulch... just because you own half the county doesn't mean you have the power to run the rest of us! For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you... and now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!"
"I AM OZ.... the Great and Powerful!"
Despite the fact that Glinda's all sugar and sweetness, she should not be underestimated. "Ha, ha, ha! Rubbish! You have no power here. Now begone — before someone drops a house on you!"
Dorothy herself. I know, she gets a lot of flak for being some kind of whiny little brat, but people don't give the girl enough credit. I mean come on! She's had a whole lot thrown at her all at once for crying out loud! The girl does have a lot of guts, if you know when and where to look.
When confronted by Almira Gulch in the beginning she's brave enough to talk back.
When she leaves Munchkin land she doesn't complain about not having bodyguards.
When both the Scarecrow and Tin Man are too scared to fight the Lion, she isn't afraid at all.
When the Wizard makes poor Lion faint, who comes to his defense first? Dorothy.
All of these are almost always accompanied with a "Shame on you!" Just that line alone deserves a mention.
When The Scarecrow is on fire who picked up the bucket and tried to help?
The truth of the matter is that Dorothy retains her innocent nature throughout the movie. Honestly, the people who continue to diss her should try watching the movie more closely.
