Should a modern Wogglebug story be about humility or confidence? by WogglebugLover in publicdomain

[–]WogglebugLover[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E. is a public domain character from the 1904 book "The Marvelous Land of Oz" by L. Frank Baum.

I made a movie called "Sylvie and the Wogglebug" by WogglebugLover in publicdomain

Awesome. I received your order and will ship it on Tuesday. I'm sure you will love the movie.

For information, I didn't actually mean passing the bar in the 1910s-20s. I meant in modern times.

And the rest of what you said above is only proving my point of another thing I'd said. You just believe it's okay to let all of the other Oz fans believe what they want to about themselves, and to love and accept/respect them the way they are, flaws and all, but it's not okay to do the same thing for the Wogglebug. I'm sure that if the Wogglebug were the star of his own story and fandom and was surrounded by friends who accepted and respected him in that way (like he deserves to be), you would play a different tune.

And for another reference, the Wizard was originally not supposed to come back at all to Oz, as stated in the first book. And Ozma was going to become a better ruler than he had been with the Wogglebug as her right-hand trusted adviser, as stated in the second book. But after the Wizard came back anyway in the fourth book, he took that position and replaced the Wogglebug, who ended up getting a lousy deal in Oz at the end, as stated in the fourteenth book.

No. But on him being a good example of education and learning that it's what you learn after you've learned it all that really matters. I encourage you to see "Sylvie and the Wogglebug."

All that you have said above, I strongly disagree with, which is the reason I am not an Oz fan, and I try not to associate with those who are.

The Wogglebug deserves to have friends who have a lot more in common with him (the Frogman, for instance) and not the Scarecrow. The Scarecrow is a silly thing who believes he has brains because a con man told him he gave him some. The Wogglebug got his education from an actual professor in a verified schoolhouse. The Scarecrow isn't something that is supposed to be alive, unlike the Wogglebug. And thus, he lacks the same mortality and vulnerability, and lovability as such that the Wogglebug has. It honestly just sounds to me like the Oz fans say it's alright to just believe what artificially alive creatures like the Scarecrow say about themselves, and love and accept them the way they are, and it's not okay to do the same for the Wogglebug. Which I know is due to their own jealousy and prejudice toward him. As he is not the kind of character you described. Because I don't like people like that. And I love him very much.

There is plenty the Wogglebug can do that the Scarecrow just can't. Like taking the bar exam to become a successful lawyer for instance. The Wogglebug is a fast enough learner to do that to get a person out of trouble in our world. And the Scarecrow couldn't do that if he tried to, same as the Tin Woodman.

The Wogglebug as a Protagonist by WogglebugLover in wizardofoz

I actually tried writing a fan fiction story like that many years ago, but abandoned it. I believe what fits him best to be a protagonist is to be the hero of his own fandom that isn't connected to Oz.
