Emerald City : Lion?

Lion?

So of the four main cast we have
Dorothy
Jack as tin man
Lucas as scarecrow
And for lion we have either the little girl or the princess or someone else. What are your theorys?

Re: Lion?

I think I saw someone with the actual head of a lion in the trailer who appeared to be some sort of king. I suppose it was a lion mask. They don't seem to be trying to tell the story we're used to.

Re: Lion?

I still think it's the head guard that was leading the hunting party.

Me too.

I thinks too. Eamonn. He already has a connection with Scarecrow Lucas. I feel the show is slowly building up the original Dorothy and her group. Tin Man has a connection with Tip, whose connection with Dorothy is growing - both helped each other escape.

Re: Lion?

I'm wondering if the long haired Wizard's Guard guy is some kind of shape shifter or werelion. If you'll remember from episode one, the other guards were talking mutiny. One of them snuck up on him while he was sleeping, then he brought that guy back in pieces in the morning saying it must have been a lion attack.

Chthonic gods have set their sights on making me a slave to their ways.

Re: Lion?

The obvious part there is why he said it was a lion attack. The mutineers suggested they could pass it off as the very same thing.

As for who the actual lion is, it seems to be him just based on the Wikipedia entry alone. Of the listed main characters, we have Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Wizard, the Witches of West and North, Tip, and Eamonn. Tip is a Baum character, but the name Eamonn is new to the series. Of the recurring characters listed, we have Ojo and Princess Langwidere (both Baum characters) and two females on the Wizard's high council.

So, unless the Lion is secretly either Anna or Elizabeth, Eamonn is really the only option left. They just don't seem to be rushing to make that obvious, like they did with the Toto, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man.

You know what noone tells you about cooking with the Dark Side? The food is really good!

^^^Yep, it's Eamonn.

Re: Lion?

The characters have virtually nothing in common with the original characters. This is not even a rehashing or reimagining. It's just ripping off nostalgia and stitching recognizable names of characters and places into a story that would better fit a darker remake of "Willow".

Re: Lion?

Are you using the Baum books for your reference point? Most of the key characters are from his book so far but with changes to them of course since it is a re-telling.

Re: Lion?

Certain changes? You mean like them having nothing at all similar other than the name? That's nothing more than plastering a thin veneer of nostalgia over something that bears no resemblance otherwise.

Re: Lion?

Are you going by the books or the movie?

Re: Lion?

It's not Tip or the princess with the masks as they are both characters from the Oz series. My guess was that it'd be the big Munja'kin, but it seems he's a character from the Oz series as well.

Re: Lion?

Ojo (the large Munchkin leader) has the look, and he struggles with courage.

Edit: However, after viewing Episode 6, Beautiful Wickedness, I'd guess it has to be Sylvie, the little girl witch.

Re: Lion?

Ojo was my first thought, too, but he's an original Baum character. Eamonn is the only main cast character that hasn't been clearly matched to a Baum character, so it does really look like it's going to be him. My guess is that Sylvie will end up being the Beast Forever.

Re: Lion?

The way this show likes to twist things, I can picture the Lion being the 'Beast Forever'.
1. He's ferocious instead of cowardly.
2. He has flesh and blood and takes the form of a Lion.

It would gratuitously, destroy all remnants of the warmth and charm of the original movie. I'm not saying that any new adaptation has to follow a movie that doesn't really seem to have followed the book that carefully, I just find it funny how much they go out of their way to make things unpleasant.

Re: Lion?

Did anyone notice the picture of Eamonn at the very bottom of the gallery???

Look closely at the bottom left hand corner of the pic...?
