Did I mention funny? Film noir is an inherently humorous genre, because the main character makes sarcastic comments all the time.

The theme of an upcoming Phanfasm war, as well as what happened to Petra in the last war, looms over the storyline while Petra goes through a series of smaller objectives like “Question Jinjur about the explosion,” “Escape from prison,” and “Defeat Mombi.” Eventually, the two plots seamlessly merge halfway through the game when Petra comes face-to-face with Ozma and is given the task of saving Oz.Īnd it’s funny. That’s the general plotline, of course (I’m being general so as not to spoil anything). Fortunately, Petra is here to make things right again. The premise is that the Phanfasm War described in the Emerald City of Oz went a lot worse than it did in the book, and Oz has become a semi-corrupted land, ruled by fear of another war. You play as Petra, a sassy private detective. How, you ask? By interpreting “mature” as “film noir,” not “pornography.” The game is G-rated like the Oz books, and this is combined with a film noir setting, which makes for maturity without perversity. In fact, a Ruth Plumly Thompson reference gives me good reason to believe that the game’s creators have gone above and beyond the call of duty by reading the Famous Forty.Īnd, as amazing as it sounds, Emerald City Confidential manages to pull off a mature aura without being repugnant. It was made by people who have actually read the book series. Emerald City Confidential avoids the two hazardous pitfalls listed above.
The Gates of Life isn't the only GameCola article with fancy hand-made graphics. Couple that with the fact that most of these stories contain blatant self-insertion, and you can understand why these “mature” Oz books went out of print quickly.Ī picture of Polychrome that I drew. So needless to say, it’s near-impossible to pull off a sex-filled version of Oz without having an overwhelming sense of pedophilia. They’re twelve years old, at most, because most of the kids who read the stories are that age. The books are G-rated, for the good reason that most of the human characters-Dorothy, Ozma, Button Bright, Ojo-are little children. You do not ruin everyone’s childhood by turning it dirty.
Boasting that it’s a “mature” version of Oz, because it involves sex. So basically, Glinda is using Dorothy in order to do her dirty work. She wants the Wicked Witch dead, so she lies to Dorothy, saying she can’t get home again, and sends her on the quest that results in the Wicked Witch’s death. Glinda could have told Dorothy about the slippers at any time, but she waits until after Dorothy kills the Wicked Witch of the West. But she doesn’t tell Dorothy about it until the very end of the movie. Glinda knows the ruby slippers can take Dorothy home.

See, unlike in the book, Movie Glinda is an evil, manipulative bitch. But that’s particularly the case for Glinda in the Wizard of Oz. The book is always better than the movie. Having a basis in the movie, not the books. There are two main reasons why “Wicked” should scare, not attract.ġ. In fact, I am sick of hearing people extol this play’s “original premise” to the heavens (“A remake of the Wizard of Oz? How clever!”). It has a “mature” storyline about the two witches in witch school, falling in love with the same guy and that sort of thing.Īs an Oz fan, I am legally required to dislike that summary. I’m really glad for the opportunity to talk about Oz, because it gives me a chance to insult the popular Broadway play “Wicked.” For those of you who don’t know, “Wicked” is a remake of the Wizard of Oz (the movie, of course, not the book. All of these books have been put back into print, without me getting a cent for all my hard work. I am a member of the Official Wizard of Oz forums, you can find over an hour of me reading the Wizard of Oz (as well as an hour of me and Marianne reading Mary Louise and the Liberty Girls), and I single-handedly released one, two, three, four, five, six, seven L. My name is Michael Gray, and I am an Oz superfan.
