In fairness, she canonically knew Scarecrow the longest, and he gave her directions, helped her get some really yummy apples, and wisely brought a gun into the forest to protect her. Still a dick move, though.

Scarecrow was strapped?
Always got that mf thang tucked.
The Tin Man's heart shrunk three sizes that day.
He got it just in time to be broken.
Every time i see an image of this movie i am reminded that they used asbestos snow which resulted in the deaths of all the actors iirc
Edit: evidently only scarecrow maybe died due to asbestos

Damn heart attacks are dangerous, appreciate the info. I corrected my comment
The whole production was a giant trainwreck. The asbestos is only a small part of it
Tinman almost died on set due to the unsafe body paint, too iirc
Dorothy playing favourites caused a rash of victims in suicide forest on their way to the Emerald City
That's a damn crane or heron or whatever.
It's a bird.
Not even, this is actually an edited version of the clip that was sent out to people who mistook it for real because Mandela Effect.
Back then people were a lot less neurotic about never hurting anyone’s feelings
I'm glad we improved.
That one's a no-brainer
If you've seen the, err, adult version of the story you'd understand why.
Every time I close my eyes I think of Mars and Venus. And anytime I start to dream I want to suck a -- hey! A Big Red apple!
