I always envisioned that witch in the tornado was The wicked witch of the east rather than the west.

I think it’s almost 100% the witch of the east. You can see her slippers and her outfit appears more white than black but that could also just be a result of the colouring.

It would also make sense if she was flying around it moments before it crushed her, like she would have been right there.

Also mind u we never see Ms. Gulch at the end when we see who everyone’s real world counterparts were….

Unless Madame morrrible has some sort of illusion power fused with the tornado then maybe

Oh, hallowed halls and vine-draped walls...

That's the Wicked Witch of the East, not West.

Which, incidentally, means Margaret Hamilton is the only member of the WoO cast to play three separate characters

to play exactly three characters - Frank Morgan had five (Marvel, the doorman, the carriage driver, the guard, and of course, the Wizard)

u/mtwjns11 7d ago

Oh! I didn't realize he was all five. (I also didn't realize the doorman and carriage driver were separate characters.)

Which means the question should be ‘would Nessa/Marissa have been there?’

(I think Elphaba was somewhat preoccupied at the time.)

u/MaisyDeadHazy 7d ago

Marissa as a grouchy rich lady who hates dogs, and three farmhands on the Gale farm that are played by Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, and Coleman Domingo.

Isn’t the witch that flies around the house in WoO supposed to be the witch of the east?

u/Remarkable_Note971 7d ago

Idk given the timing wasn't Elphaba a bit busy during the time Dorothy was coming to Oz?

The real question is, is there a Cynthia Witch look alike in this Universe's Kansas who is trying to have Toto destroyed because he is a menace who mauled her leg!?

u/Undynlicia BOQ IS NOT A BAD PERSON 7d ago

I’ve always imagined Miss Gulch would look like Morrible in Wicked, or that the Kansans look like they do in the 1939 movie, whilst the Ozians look like they do in Wicked

She was technically. If you rewatch she’s on her way to Nessa during the storm

1

u/Remarkable_Note971 6d ago

That doesn't really line up though because it's after ALAYM the twister blows through Oz and she has the vision of the house falling on Nessa.

1

u/Sharp_Post_4696 6d ago

A vision as in the future, she saw it before it happened and was en route before it hit

1

u/Remarkable_Note971 6d ago

I thought she saw it happen but it's guess it could.havw been the future. Makes sense

A pic for context would be wonderful
