You let her escape!!!!


When the Nome King is yelling, "You let her escape!!!" To Mombi, who is he talking about? Dorothy or Ozma?

If it's Ozma what reason did he think to believe that.

So I'm assuming he's talking about Dorothy, but he already KNEW that.

Just because we lose today's battle doesn't mean we've lost tommorow's war.

He's showing his true colours. He wasn't TOO upset about Mombi letting Dorothy escape before, because he thought he could easily dispose of Dorothy himself. But when Dorothy starts guessing correctly and he realises that she is quite a match for him, he then starts to get angry because she wouldn't be there at all if Mombi had kept her prisoner.

Ok thanks :)

At first I thought maybe he was talking about Ozma b/c maybe he thought Ozma was somehow guiding Dorothy into picking the right ornaments.

It's strange though, obviously he wasn't gonna play fair even if she guessed right, so I'm surprised he even had it set up that way for her friends to BE transformed back if she guessed right like he said he would.

How many opportunities does the Nome King get to show off his powers? After a while, performing for his Nominions would become tiresom. To dispatch of Dorothy and her army as soon as they arrived would have been anti-climactic, even for the Nome King. His little song and dance, thinking he can destroy them all with the blink of a dried up eye.

We've met before, haven't we?

The blink of a dried up eye. LOL!

He's talking about Dorothy, he's upset she let her escape just to pass his little game by finding the Scarecrow and all her friends who were turned into ornaments. If Mombi didn't let her escape then none of that would've happened.
