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.
Back then people were a lot less neurotic about never hurting anyone’s feelings
I'm glad we improved.
“Neurotic” is not a good thing to be
Sure. People aren't neurotic in this context. This situation is what's commonly called a "you problem".
No, being unwilling to tell someone “I missed you the most” for fear of hurting others’ feelings is indeed neurotic. It’s too much, unhelpful, inhibits communication and expression of perfectly healthy emotions.
I like conversing with other people more than you.
lol chef's kiss
no it's not. caring about other people's feelings is normal human behavior. stop this nonsense and work on your mirror neurons.
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

Looks like only the scarecrow died from it (and his cancer may not have even been caused by the asbestos)
- Tiny Dinky Daffy (Baby of the Year 1928): Died on March 14, 2019, pancaked by drunk dump truck driver at age 92.
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.
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!
That one's a no-brainer
That's because in the cut version of the script there was a Dorothy/Scarecrow romance plot
He has no brains, so he will believe her.
