Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Chronicles of Oz is an Audio Play adaptation of the Land of Oz series by L. Frank Baum. Produced by Crossover Adventure Productions, the series takes the original Oz stories and retells them with a modernized, somewhat Darker and Edgier spin, with some more thorough worldbuilding. The Mythology Gags and references to Baum's other works are plentiful; some just as Shout Outs and some as foreshadowing for the future.The series so far consists of three seasons, with six episodes per season, each season adapting one of Baum's books.The first season, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, tells the familiar story of Dorothy Gale from Kansas, who gets caught in a tornado and finds herself in the magical land of Oz, where she (together with her dog Toto, a Scarecrow, a Tin Woodman and a Cowardly Lion are sent by the Good Witch of the North to travel to the Emerald City to ask the Wonderful Wizard to send her back home. Unfortunately, this is an Oz in the middle of a great unrest, and Dorothy's accidental assassination of the Wicked Witch of the East leads to a power struggle and a civil war in Munchkinland that threatens to spread to the rest of Oz.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The second season, The Marvellous Land of Oz, sees the civil war reach the Emerald City, and the narrative follows Tip, the apprentice to the witch Mombi, as he journeys to the Emerald City with his newly-created companion Jack Pumpkinhead and ends up in the middle of the war, as well as on a quest to find the lost princess Ozma.The third season, Ozma of Oz, is all about Ozma (accompanied by the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman and Cowardly Lion) journeying to the land of Ev to aid her relatives, the Royal Family of Ev, in their time of need. At the same time, Dorothy and her new friend, Billina the chicken, have also ended up in Ev after they were swept off a ship in a storm, and soon they're all off to the land of the Nomes to rescue the Royal Family from the Nome King.The creators have confirmed that more seasons are forthcoming and are looking into adapting other Baum stories, starting with a Christmas Special release of The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: Preena, the reporter from the second season, has no real equivalent in the books. Same with Victon, General Jinjur's lieutenant. In the original book, Jinjur would never have allowed a male lieutenant in her ranks, but the Jinjur of this series is not the Straw Feminist the original was. | |

Age Lift | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: Dorothy was a little girl in the original. Here, she is in her late teens at the very least, possibly even early twenties since she's mentioned to be around the same age as Ozma. Tip and Ozma are specifically mentioned to be twenty years old. Tip was definitely younger than that in the original book, and Ozma, though her age quickly got vague as the books went on, was described as looking like a girl of fourteen or fifteen. A very minor one with the Scarecrow. When Dorothy first met him in the book, he was made "the day before yesterday." Here he was put together earlier that morning and isn't even one day old when she encounters him. | |

Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_14127474 | comment |
Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: Unlike the source material in which Tip is just Princess Ozma under a spell that turned her into a boy, Ozma is instead sealed inside Tip, who was created by magic, and unleashing Ozma means Tip gets to cease to exist. And of course, this becomes the only way to save the Emerald City. | |

The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: After killing the Wicked Witch of the West, Dorothy just breaks down completely as every bad thing that's happened catches up with her. She retracts into herself and is unable to do anything much for several days. The Scarecrow has a delayed one after the Munchkin army has taken over the Emerald City and he's not only been forced to flee on the newly-made Gump but also leave behind Omby Amby, who was trying to protect him. He holds it together well until a crash-landing and subsequent events in a jackdaws' nest leaves him minus all his straw, temporarily just a head. Then everything just seems to overwhelm him and he lapses into a depression, until the Tin Woodman gives him a You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech. Ozma succumbs to one when the Phanfasms prey on her fears and insecurities, sending her visions where she's haunted by the previous rulers of the Emerald City as well as Tip, who accuses her of having deliberately murdered him. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: To an extent. It's certainly darker and more cynical than the original books and the 1939 film... but it's also Lighter and Softer than certain other adaptations, retellings or re-imaginings. Oz may be plagued by civil unrest, violent revolutions, political manipulations/assassinations, but it's by no means presented as the Crapsack World other adaptations love to make it out to be. | |

Tempting Fate | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: The Guardians have a tendency to do this. In the first episode of the first season, Faramant spends so much time cheering about having finished all his work so he can go home early, and gloating over Jellia because she can't, that he really should have expected that an emergency call would come so he wouldn't be able to go home at all that night. Later on, Omby Amby, hearing about the "assassin of the Witch of the East," comments that the last thing he wants is to hear that she's left Munchkinland and is headed for the Emerald City. Naturally, five seconds later he gets a call that tells him exactly that. | |

Memetic Badass: Dorothy becomes an In-Universe example after accidentally killing the Wicked Witch of the East. Rumors very soon begin flying about her casting powerful spells to combat the witch, and after she gets to the Emerald City the first time, it doesn't take long before people are saying she arrived brandishing weapons and with "witch-blood still on her hands." | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Since the Deadly poppy Field sends Dorothy into a deep sleep, Narrator-Dorothy tells the audience she can't give a first-hand account of the next few events, but that her friends told her afterwards what had happened. We're then treated to a scene where the Tin Woodman calmly takes charge of everything while the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion both praise him to high heavens. Narrator-Dorothy comments "You can probably guess who told me most of that." She then presents the scene such as she thinks it actually happened, with all three of them panicking and arguing and yelling... before admitting that she's probably exaggerating a little. | |

Green-Eyed Monster: Ozma has just a little bit of a jealousy problem when it comes to Dorothy. The jealousy seems to be born mostly out of a worry that her companions see her mainly as a second-rate replacement for Dorothy. Dorothy on her side is just slightly jealous of Ozma, much for the same reason: She's afraid that her friends have replaced her with Ozma. | |

Ambiguous Situation: Mombi's relationship to Tip is complicated. While she did turn Ozma into a boy unwillingly, she only did so by the Wizard's orders, and only managed it once she admitted she wanted an apprentice of her own. While she's short-tempered and demanding of him, she acts the same around everyone else, and seems to regret trying to turn him to stone. | |

Bloodier and Gorier: And without visuals at that. While much of the specifics are left up to the imagination, many supporting characters are killed off in rather brutal ways, from beheading, to getting executed, to being stabbed. Injuries characters recieve tend to be treated far more seriously as well, with even inanimate characters like the Scarecrow or the Tin Woodman who normally have Death Is Cheap apply to them still suffer extensive pain and the fear of losing limbs. | |

Fire-Forged Friends | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_2493b31d | comment |
Fire-Forged Friends: Dorothy and her companions. While the Scarecrow pretty much gets along with everyone from the start, the Tin Woodman takes a long time to warm up to the others, and it takes even a longer time before Dorothy trusts the Lion. Dorothy even describes their travelling together as "an arrangement of convenience" and fully expects them all to go their separate ways after they've seen the wizard. But at the end of the first season all their trials and tribulations have forged a very close bond between them. The relationship between Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion is especially noteworthy here. For much of the first season, Dorothy does not like the Lion; she simply can't forgive him for trying to attack Toto at their first meeting and doesn't believe him when he says he was only trying to scare them. When it's briefly only Dorothy and the Lion after the Wicked Witch of the West has been vanquished, Dorothy tries to apologize to the Lion for giving him such a hard time — but this time the Lion is the one who is slow to forgive. Nevertheless, at the very end of the season they have both genuinely forgiven each other and become close friends. Another mention must go to Dorothy and Ozma. Their first meeting doesn't go too well, and their relationship is initially plagued by mutual distrust and jealousy — Ozma's afraid that her friends just see her as a cheap substitute for "the great and famous Dorothy," while Dorothy not only worries about Ozma replacing her in everyone's lives but is also dealing with a lot of personal issues and takes her frustrations out on Ozma. Towards the end of the season, they've warmed considerably up to each other. | |

More than Mind Control | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_28e90e30 | comment |
More Than Mind Control: Turns out to be the reason why Tip was happy to stay with Mombi all these years — she'd put him under a spell that made him care about her and want to stay with her even though she wasn't exactly treating him well. It's only when she in desperation begins preparing a spell to turn Tip to stone, that his self-preservation instinct overrides the magic and allows him to escape. When he at the end of the second season allows Mombi to escape, he acknowledges that it's probably the magic still making him care about her... but he can't bring himself to wish harm on her. | |

Adapted Out | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: The giant spider that the Cowardly Lion fights in the original book does not appear in this version. Instead, the Lion fights the Hammerheads. Several characters have been left out of Ozma of Oz: Most notably, the Hungry Tiger. The creators have expressed regret at cutting him, and hope to be able to fit him in in later seasons, but there were already too many major characters in the story. (There is a very young tiger cub who appears in the first season, but — just like in the original book — there is no confirmation or denial on whether this is supposed to be a young Hungry Tiger.) He is given a Shout-Out when the Cowardly Lion bluffs Dr. Nikidik that he's known as the Hungry Lion with a fondness for eating babies, even directly lifting some of the Hungry Tiger's dialogue from the book as he does so. The 27 soldiers who went with Ozma to Ev in the book are nowhere to be seen here. The exception is Omby Amby, who is already an important supporting character in the series; he does appear in the season, but unlike in the book he doesn't come along on the journey to Ev. In the book, the King and Queen of Ev had ten children. Here they only have two; Prince Evring and Princess Evanna. The Gnome King does not appear in The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus as a result of scheduling conflicts. | |

Simpleminded Wisdom: Jack Pumpkinhead, sometimes. Usually he's just The Ditz, but on a rare occasion, he can be pretty profound. It's especially prominent in the last episode of the second season, where it's Jack's wide-eyed yet oddly philosopical remarks that convinces Tip what the right thing to do is. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The unexpected death of the Wicked Witch of the East, after she's had Munchkinland in her power for decades, results not in celebrations and singing, but in confusion, panic and riots among the Munchkins, which soon leads to a violent power struggle and revolution. The Winkies' reaction to the death of the Wicked Witch of the West is less violent — partly because the Winkies are more peaceful than the Munchkins, but mostly because the Witch had the entire country under a mind-control spell for years. When their free will returns, a number of them barely remember how to do anything for themselves anymore, and so the general reaction is apathy and grief as the entire Winkie Contry suffer from collective PTSD. Take an intelligent, but inexperienced Scarecrow who just wants to be friends with everyone, and make him the King of a country in the middle of a civil war? He's not going to be able to handle it very well. Dorothy made it home to her aunt and uncle in Kansas... but the farm was still destroyed in the tornado, and was struggling from before anyway, so the family don't have the money to rebuild. Lack of money, frustrations and uncertainty, combined with the fact that Dorothy can't really tell Em and Henry of her adventures in Oz for fear they'll think she's gone crazy, means that the happy ending pretty quickly gave way to a lot of family arguments and tensions. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Nanda, Princess Langwidere's maid, was a very minor character in the third book, but here she has a far bigger role, and manages to be an example of both Adaptational Heroism and Adaptational Villainy. In the book she was just a maid who did what she was told, no more and no less. Here she first tries to act as Cloudcuckoolander's Minder to Langwidere and attempts to stop the imprisonment of Dorothy and Billina, only to be fired by the angry Langwidere. After this she turns into a Well-Intentioned Extremist, leading the people of Ev in a revolt against Langwidere but quickly becoming just a little too eager to kill. | |

Badass in Distress: Dorothy, at the beginning of the third season, turns out to have been imprisoned by Princess Langwidere and needs to be rescued, even after she Took a Level in Badass to become an Action Girl over the course of the first season. The trope is played with but subverted one season earlier, in The Marvellous Land of Oz, also with Dorothy: Mombi tries to trick the Tin Woodman into giving up by pretending she's kidnapped Dorothy from her home in Kansas and has her in her power. However, this is just a trick; the "Dorothy" who appears in this scene is only an illusion that vanishes the moment the Tin Woodman denies it. | |

Death by Adaptation | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_48c99e19 | comment |
Death by Adaptation: Boq, the Munchkin. In the book, he was just the farmer who offered Dorothy a place to stay for the night before her journey to the Emerald City — here he's an ally of Locasta who is set out to accompany her to the Emerald City, but before the journey can even begin, he's killed by the Wicked Witch of the West, who tries to take advantage of the current chaos in Munchkinland to make a grab for the silver shoes. General Jinjur. In the book she was let go after the revolution failed — here, where she's notably more dangerous, she's killed by Omby Amby while trying to blow up the entire Emerald City. Arguably, Tip. In the book, Tip was just Ozma in a different body — here, Tip is a separate personality who was created when Mombi enchanted Ozma, and who pretty much has to give up his life so that Ozma can live. It's hinted that he lives on as a voice in Ozma's mind... much like Ozma was in his. The Sawhorse is killed by the Iron Giant in season 3. The impact is somewhat lessened by the fact that the Sawhorse doesn’t speak in this version, however Jack Pumpkinhead is still quite distraught when Ozma tells him. | |

Womanchild: Ozma in Ozma of Oz has traces of this. She's twenty years old, but she occasionally acts like she's much younger, ignoring well-meant advice, failing to think about consequences, and following her impulses when she really shouldn't. This is probably justified, though, since while she is physically an adult, and has all of Tip's knowledge and memories, she's new to being her own person and not used to living in the real world as opposed to just being a voice in someone's head. | |

Contrasting Sequel Main Character | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_517d2eb8 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Main Character: So far, each of the three seasons has had a different main viewpoint character, with the contrasts between them played up considerably: Dorothy in the first season is a grouchy and cynical Action Girl with a big temper and a tendency to hold grudges, but a not-so-hidden tender side. She gets lots of (often unwanted) attention wherever she goes, and everyone thinks she's a powerful witch thanks to her accidental killing of the Wicked Witch of the East, but she doesn't have any magic powers at all. Tip in the second season is a more laid-back and upbeat Non-Action Guy who is more likely to just go along with things, though he's generally pretty cautious and wants to look before he leaps. People tend to think he's just an ordinary Gillikin and don't pay him any particular mind, but as a witch's apprentice, he has quite a bit of knowledge of magic, and uses it on several occasions. Ozma in the third season is a cheerful and friendly Womanchild with a bit of an Inferiority Superiority Complex going on that sometimes has her act like an impulsive, overbearing Fearless Fool... who may get paralyzed with fear and find herself unable to act in critical situations. As a fairy princess, she is adored by the people of Oz but to her surprise finds that people outside Oz don't take her very seriously. Her magic powers are potentially much greater than Tip's, but while she has all of Tip's knowledge and memories she struggles far more with actually controlling those powers. | |

Affably Evil | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: The Wizard comes across as this, even more so in the second season. He's a pretty pleasant guy to be around, polite and charming, and he seems to genuinely regret some of his worst actions when he's seen in the present. In contrast, his appearances in flashbacks paint him as an amoral and untrustworthy con man who thinks nothing of using people for his own means and betraying or abandoning them afterwards. The Wicked Witch of the West accuses him of having killed King Pastoria — and while he denies having had anything to do with that, his tone makes it ambiguous. Either he did kill the king, or he just wants the Witch to think he did. The Nome King is cheerful, pleasant, welcoming and witty, always ready with a smile and a funny joke... and he's a total sadist who delights in small cruelties, he has a dangerous temper and if you slight him he'll be out for vengeance. In other words, he's pretty much like his original book counterpart. | |

Fantastic Racism: The Field Mice are apparently sensitive to this. Queen Ramina scolds Faramant for being racist when he assumes that she would like to order cheese at a restaurant. Princess Langwidere, of all people, is subject to it. While her being a self-obsessed and uncaring monarch doesn't help her public standing, the people of Ev do specifically say that she's not fit to be Queen because she's not human — human's don't have multiple heads that they can swap out whenever they like. | |

Once Done, Never Forgotten: Dorothy ends up with the reputation not only as a witch-slayer, but as someone who solves problems by dropping houses on people... though this is partially her own fault. She gets so sick of everyone insisting she "assassinated" the Wicked Witch of the East that she starts sarcastically suggesting "drop a house on him/her/it" as a potential solution to every single problem. Of course a number of Ozzians take her literally. | |

Adaptational Early Appearance: While not seen in-person, in the first season Ozma is referenced as one of the many rumors about the Wizard that's dismissed as heresay. Quox, the dragon from the eighth Oz book Tik-Tok of Oz, had been brainwashed by the Wicked Witch of the West to invade Munchkinland in this version. The Wicked Witch's right hand man is Ugu the Shoemaker, who in the eleventh Oz book, The Lost Princess Of Oz, becomes a powerful wizard and kidnaps Ozma. The Phanfasms, who first showed up in the sixth Oz book, The Emerald City of Oz, appear in the third season to torment Ozma with cruel visions. | |

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul | |

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the books, Zeb Hugson was a distant cousin of Dorothy's who lived in San Francisco. Here he lives in Butterfield and isn't related to Dorothy at all — Aunt Em refers to him as "that Hugson boy" and hints that he has a romantic interest in Dorothy. Scriptwriter Aron Toman claims that when he wrote that scene, he was inspired by The Oz Kids, a Spin-Offspring animated series where the main characters are the children of Dorothy and Zeb. He'd forgotten that Dorothy and Zeb were actually cousins in the books, and didn't find out until it was too late to change the scene, and so in the end he decided that in this version of the story Dorothy and Zeb simply weren't related. | |

Adaptational Angst Upgrade | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_730d3664 | comment |
Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Several characters are hit with this, but it's most notable with the main characters. Dorothy's a lot more troubled than her book counterpart and her adventures take more of a toll on her, to the point where she lapses into a Heroic BSoD on a few notable occasions. Her home life in Kansas is also played more realistically; while she loves her aunt and uncle dearly, the fact remains that they're living below the poverty line, which is highly stressful for all three of them. Tip is a lot more easy-going and takes Mombi's horrible treatment of him pretty lightly, much like his book counterpart did, but certain revelations hit him hard, especially when he discovers that he isn't even a real person and in order for Ozma to return and save everybody he has to cease to exist. Ozma struggles with an Inferiority Superiority Complex; she is outwardly happy and supremely confident, but she's secretly got a bit of self-loathing going on and is scared that she's not good enough for her friends and her country. | |

The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_7c14d0f2 | comment |
Rejected Apology: A downplayed example with Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion. During their time at the palace of the defeated Wicked Witch of the West, she tries to apologize for being so nasty to him on their journey to the Emerald City, but he ends up not accepting the apology because he doesn't think she really means it. Unlike many examples of the trope, his rejection isn't angry, nor does it lead to the two splitting up and going their separate ways — he even says he'll stick with her because they still need each other, and he doesn't rule out the possibility that they can become genuine friends later on, but he's not willing to let her "just shake paws and make everything better." | |

Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Preena, after she's betrayed the Emerald City and helped the Munchkin army enter, is rather unceremoniously killed by Jinjur, both as an example of this trope and in order to show an uncooperative Jellia Jamb that Jinjur means business. | |

The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_82a64c4b | comment |
Adaptational Nice Guy: Ugu the Shoemaker was a selfish villain and a disagreeable grouch in the eleventh Oz book (though he did end up doing a Heel–Face Turn in the end). Here, as the enslaved assistant to the Wicked Witch, and later on as the non-enslaved assistant to the Tin Woodman, he's a polite and sympathetic man who does his best to help out when needed. | |

The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_91672d3e | comment |
Children Are Innocent: This is pretty much the Scarecrow's characterization in the first season. He's only one day old when he first meets Dorothy, so though he has the appearance and voice of an adult, he is technically a child. It's even clearer with Jack Pumpkinhead in the second season. Being brought to life in the first episode, he's as much of an innocent and inexperienced child as the Scarecrow in the first season... arguably even more innocent, because where the Scarecrow was a bright and imaginative child, Jack is a slow-witted and easily confused one. | |

Big Bad | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad: Each season thus far has one: Season One had the Wicked Witch of the West. After the Wicked Witch of the East is accidentally killed by Dorothy, she takes the subsequent power vacuum to her advantage, offering an alliance with Glinda to kill Locasta (although the Good Witch declines). She's also the main obstacle in the way of Dorothy's return home, as the Wizard of Oz asked for proof of the witch's defeat in order for Dorothy to return to Butterfield. Season Two had General Jinjur. After her father, General Malik, was executed by the Scarecrow in order to stop the Munchkins' civil war, Jinjur decided to invade the Emerald City and overthrow the newly-crowned king of Oz with her army in order to free the Munchkins from oppression. Meanwhile, the Wizard of Oz takes the role as the Greater-Scope Villain, being the one who orchestrated Ozma's kidnapping as part of his plan to take over the Emerald City. Season Three had the Nome King. He is the one holding the Royal Family of Ev hostage, having bought them from the kingdom's king. This crisis prompted acting princess Langwidere to make a distress call to Oz, setting Ozma's journey to restore peace to Ev in motion. At the end of the season, the Nome King begins planning an invasion on the Emerald City, hinting at his return as the big bad in a future season. | |

Queen Ann of Oogaboo is mentioned a few times during the series, generally while being ignored, dismissed or overlooked by the rulers of the Emerald City, to the point where Ozma mentions that on her journey she'll not stop by Oogaboo to see Queen Ann. Anyone who's read Tik-Tok of Oz will probably see this as potential Foreshadowing for a Start of Darkness; Queen Ann's plans of war may very well stem from this constant dismissal by the Emerald City. | |

Inferiority Superiority Complex: Ozma seems to have a slight case of this. While never quite a Small Name, Big Ego she is very eager to show off, constantly insisting that she knows better than everyone else because she's a princess... but it's fairly easy to see that much of her bravado is there to mask a deep insecurity — and a slight hint of jealousy towards Dorothy, whom she fears she just Can't Catch Up to. | |

Adaptational Jerkass: The Tin Woodman, in the original book, was an unmistakable Nice Guy and Friend to All Living Things from the very beginning, even if he thought he didn't have a heart. This incarnation plays up the "apparently heartless" theme to a much bigger degree by being an impatient and unfriendly grouch who nevertheless turns out to be a lot kinder and more caring than he appears. Dorothy, as part of her Age Lift from "sweet little girl" to "sassy and sarcastic teenager" is a lot haughtier and slower to forgive than her book counterpart. | |

Disabled in the Adaptation: If it can really said to be a disability when it comes to inanimate objects come to life, but neither the Sawhorse nor the Gump are able to talk in this version. This does confuse Tip, since Jack Pumpkinhead, who was brought to life by the same Powder of Life, can talk perfectly well from the get-go. However, Mombi does point out that while the powder itself was the same, the person who used it was not — and Mombi is just more skilled with magic than Tip is. | |

Demoted to Extra: Arguably Toto. He accompanies Dorothy on her first journey and functions as an occasional plot mover, but he gets less attention than he did in the book and is more or less forgotten about for long periods of time. The Sawhorse, while getting a couple of key scenes, has a pretty small role overall. It doesn't help that unlike his book counterpart he's unable to talk and is killed off one season after his debut. | |

Weaksauce Weakness: One of the most famous examples in pop culture, of course: The Wicked Witch of the West does not react well to water. Then again, Ozma of Oz hints that she may be Not Quite Dead after all. Tik-Tok is more than a force to be reckoned with; he's incredibly strong and impervious to harm... but if his clockwork winds down he's useless. And if you remove his wind-up key he can't do anything at all. | |

The Scarecrow has a delayed one after the Munchkin army has taken over the Emerald City and he's not only been forced to flee on the newly-made Gump but also leave behind Omby Amby, who was trying to protect him. He holds it together well until a crash-landing and subsequent events in a jackdaws' nest leaves him minus all his straw, temporarily just a head. Then everything just seems to overwhelm him and he lapses into a depression, until the Tin Woodman gives him a You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech. | |

Nice Guy: The Scarecrow. He's the friendliest, cheeriest and most earnest of all Dorothy's companions; he just wants everyone to get along and be happy. This does cause some problems during his time as King of the Emerald City in the second season, because while he is a surprisingly good peacemaker and motivational speaker, he doesn't have it in him to be the ruthless leader the civil war demands. Jack Pumpkinhead too, though he complains and fumbles around a lot more, is friendly and good-natured by default. Small wonder that he gets along with the Scarecrow so well. Santa Claus is one of the nicest guys ever, but that shouldn't come as a surprise. He's Santa Claus. | |

The Chessmaster: All the Witches of Oz seem to have a trace of this, though Glinda is the biggest one. Luckily, she is a thoroughly benevolent example; her machinations are genuinely done with people's best interests at heart. | |

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_d7b34c31 | comment |
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Of the Wicked Witches, only Mombi is ever called by name. It's especially noticeable with the Wicked Witch of the West, who gets a number of titles ("the witch" being most commonly used) but never an actual name. This is brought up and Lampshaded in Season Three, when The Wicked Witch of the West, living on as a voice in Dorothy's head, points out that Dorothy never even knew her name, and never bothered to ask. | |

Action Girl | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_dae5c997 | comment |
Dorothy in the first season is a grouchy and cynical Action Girl with a big temper and a tendency to hold grudges, but a not-so-hidden tender side. She gets lots of (often unwanted) attention wherever she goes, and everyone thinks she's a powerful witch thanks to her accidental killing of the Wicked Witch of the East, but she doesn't have any magic powers at all. | |

The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_e0ecc959 | comment |
Changed My Mind, Kid: Initially, the three companions don't accompany Dorothy to the West — the Tin Woodman doesn't want to be an assassin for a Wizard he doesn't trust, the Lion is too scared to come, and the Scarecrow, who actually does want to come, ends up being left behind when Dorothy loses her temper with the other two. As Dorothy goes off to the east and gets attacked by murderous ravens and wolves, the three companions show up like Big Damn Heroes to save her. | |

The Ditz: Jack Pumpkinhead. While he's not quite Too Dumb to Live (he does recognize when he's in a bad situation), he's still a bit of an idiot who tends to miss the point by a mile. He does have his metaphorical heart in the right place though. | |

One of the most famous examples in pop culture, of course: The Wicked Witch of the West does not react well to water. Then again, Ozma of Oz hints that she may be Not Quite Dead after all. | |

Composite Character | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: A small example, but in this version of the story, Boq is the Munchkin who made the Scarecrow. Also a curious example, but Ozma in the third season has taken on some traits from Dorothy of the book. This is probably thanks to her being an Ascended Extra in this version, and a few of the actions Dorothy did in the book are assigned to her. In the Life and Adventures of Santa Claus adaptation, Bessie Blithsome's role is filled by Princess Askadelia, Ozian royalty introduced previously in the Ozma of Oz adaptation. | |

Constantly Curious: Jack Pumpkinhead. Unlike in the original books, he actually very rarely plays The Watson so that other character can provide exposition... but he still asks a lot of questions. | |

Decomposite Character: In the original books, the Crooked Magician who created the Powder of Life was referred to as "Dr Nikidik" by Tip in The Marvellous Land of Oz, but when the same Crooked Magician showed up in person in The Patchwork Girl of Oz he had been renamed "Dr Pipt" (likely because Baum forgot he'd already named him), causing some fans to speculate that his full name was Nikidik Pipt. In this version, Dr Nikidik is an entirely separate character, re-imagined as a Mad Scientist who causes some problems for the companions in the third seasons. | |

Easily Forgiven: Subverted with both the Cowardly Lion and the Wizard. Unlike her book counterpart, this Dorothy holds grudges. It takes her a long time to forgive the Lion for scaring her and pretending to attack Toto at their first meeting, and she never forgives the Wizard his fraud and trickery. | |

Running Gag | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman have this brief exchange so often that it probably counts as a shared Catchphrase: In the third season, it's revealed that they've grown so used to this that the Scarecrow will automatically say "shut up" whenever the Tin Woodman says "Uh-oh," whether it's in response to the Scarecrow or not. | |

The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_fcbcc221 | comment |
Robot Buddy: Tik-Tok, of course. The original Tik-Tok is considered one of the earliest robots in fiction, though of course the original books never called him a robot because the word had not been invented yet. In this version, he's more robot-like than ever, having been fitted with "scanners" and references are made to his "programming." He's even referred to as a robot on occasion, even if "clockwork man" is still the more common description. | |

The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Wicked Witch of the West tries to present herself as this, claiming that all she does is for the good of Oz. Dorothy doesn't buy it. General Jinjur is a more genuine example of the trope, though her motivations are a little more complex. Nanda, who leads the revolution in Ev, is probably the most sincere example in the series. She genuinely wants a better life for the people of Ev and speaks grandly of people's collectives where everyone has a voice, but is downright sadistic about dealing with Langwidere and is not scared of letting the ends justify some very violent means. | |

Innocently Insensitive: Jack Pumpkinhead again, at least sometimes. The Woggle-Bug probably qualifies as well, as he keeps accidentally insulting or upsetting people... though in his case it's a little more ambiguous whether it really is so innocent, or whether he's doing it on purpose. | |

Shown Their Work | |
The Chronicles Of Oz (Podcast) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The creators are very clearly well-versed in L. Frank Baum's work, and there are a lot or references to fairly obscure details that only someone who really knew their Oz canon would get. The name Lurline is used as an exclamation quite often, referring the fairy queen who first enchanted the Land of Oz. In the third season Ozma tells this universe's version of that tale. Dorothy states that she comes from "Butterfield, Kansas." In the book The Road to Oz, Butterfield is the town closest to Uncle Henry's farm. The first episode refers to Zeb Hugson, who is a distant cousin of Dorothy's and a major character in Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz — though in this version he seems to live in Butterfield rather than San Francisco, and doesn't seem to be related to Dorothy either, since Aunt Em refers to him as "that Hugson boy" and hints that he has a crush on Dorothy. A lot of the creatures from Baum's extended canon are name-dropped in various conversations, such as the Awgwas, the Knooks and the Ryls from The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus. In Ozma of Oz, while on the journey to Ev, the Tin Woodman briefly tells his travel companions about the yellow butterflies of the Winkie Country and how their wings have medicinal properties, which comes into play in the book The Patchwork Girl of Oz. Queen Ann of Oogaboo is mentioned a few times during the series, generally while being ignored, dismissed or overlooked by the rulers of the Emerald City, to the point where Ozma mentions that on her journey she'll not stop by Oogaboo to see Queen Ann. Anyone who's read Tik-Tok of Oz will probably see this as potential Foreshadowing for a Start of Darkness; Queen Ann's plans of war may very well stem from this constant dismissal by the Emerald City. | |
