The Wicked Witch Figure in Music: Songs and Lyrics

The wicked witch figure is a common archetype found throughout various forms of literature and folklore. Often portrayed as a woman with magical powers, the wicked witch is typically depicted as a villainous character who seeks to cause harm and chaos. This figure has been present in storytelling for centuries, dating back to ancient myths and legends. One of the most iconic wicked witch figures is the character of the Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard of Oz". This character, with her green skin, pointy hat, and cackling laugh, epitomizes the image of a wicked witch. She is portrayed as an antagonist, constantly trying to thwart the protagonist Dorothy and her companions in their quest.

✮ For Andres, wonky magic means he’s always floating in the air, bouncing off the walls, or sitting on the ceiling.

She can fight them and continues to be a rebel, and even inspire Skriff, the UDM teacher, to stand up against the injustice and teach the UDM s to harness their powers, not be ashamed of them. She can turn into parts of advanced animals, such as elephant, flamingo, dragon, and her tutoring coach believes she will be able to turn into a tiger by early high school.

She is portrayed as an antagonist, constantly trying to thwart the protagonist Dorothy and her companions in their quest. The wicked witch figure is often associated with dark magic and supernatural abilities. She is often depicted as having a deep knowledge of spells and potions, using her powers for her own gain or to harm others.

User Reviews

Honestly, it's a rip-off of Harry Potter. The plot was so predictable and the characters had cliche personalities and overall the message kinda sucked. I don't recommend. (This is my first bad review)

Hollywood is in its biggest crisis in history. Awful movies one by one, awful music, bad TV shows. They started taking other people's ideas, from books. Even when the script is given to them, they still do a bad job. Such a Failed industry.

The writing was horrible, characters kept changing behaviors and failed to be consistent, the directing was awful and ruined several opportunities for great humor.

It was a waste of time with a two dimensional antagonist, an annoying protagonist and meaningless supporting cast. An overall complete waste of time and thoroughly predictable.

Would have been more exciting to watch a daytime soap opera, than this drivel. Playing in heavy traffic with leg weights on would've been more enjoyable.

Just What are these people trying to teach the children of this generation. Garbage Garbage Garbage. The whole mantra of this move is "Just be yourself" and flush the morals and ethics into the toilet. Ya right ! be yourself even if you feel like you are a psychopath is fine. Please don't teach the children what to think, but teach them how to think and Lay foundations of good morals and ethics and life skills. it saddens me to see movies like this now a days.

In this movie Disney took the AMAZING book series Upside Down Magic and made it into Disney's Descendants movie it was just a mash up though. Nory was not supposed to have a best named Raina (aka the person Disney made into Audrey) and it was all gone weird I mean what the heck is shadow magic where did they even get that?! Ok just imagine upside down Magic is a perfect ball of clay now Disney should have added a tiny touch but instead they completely smashed it then tried to build it back up! Trust me people the books are amazing! The movie was nothing like it! I would have rated it 0 if I could

I didn't see much advertisement for this movie, but some of my favorite Disney Channel stars heavily promoted it online so I thought-What the heck. I'll kill 103 minutes and see it. (Yes, 103, not 100 or 105 like most Disney Channel movies.) I personally thought it was okay, but I wouldn't see it again.

The movie follows 2 teen wizards- Nory and Reina, who are old enough to go to Magic School. Reina is put in the advanced classes, and Nora has to go to the Upside Down Magic classes. You see, Nora can turn into animals, but only odd ones, like a crossover between a cat and fire-breathing dragon. Because of this odd(and deemed dangerous) trait, she must do regular school work in a basement until her powers wear off and she can be expelled from the school. Believing in her powers, Nory convinces her class to stand up to her school and show what they are made of.

In one word, I thought this movie was okay. Not bad, but not good, just in the middle. There were engaging parts, and there were dull parts. However, I am 21 and this seemed to be geared towards kids under 10 years old. Single-digit aged kids should get a kick out of it, Double-digit aged kids will be mostly bored.

Now, you may say: "Well, you're 21 and this a Disney Channel Movie for kids." Yes, but there's quite a few DCMs that came out in my late teens and adulthood that I enjoyed very much- Kim Possible, Invisible Sister and Adventures In Babysitting among them. I actually own 2 of these on DVD! And growing up, past the aimed audience age, I have enjoyed movies like Lemonade Mouth, Camp Rock, and Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie. So the quality is not due to my age, it's due to how the demographic was focused on the kids and not the adults who may be watching. That within itself is not a bad thing, but that does limit your crowd and that's why my recommendation is quite marginal.

Another problem that I had was that this seemed to be a knock off of Harry Potter. Here's one example of many: you know how Hogwarts students go through Platform 9 3/4 by seeping through a brick wall? Going to the magic school Sage Academy is very similar, going through a tree or something similar. This again shows how unoriginal Disney has been lately-first with sequels, then with remakes, now with ripping off other properties.

The film was quite predictable as well. To give you one of many examples, it was clear early on that this movie was going to have a message of "be yourself" and words that cliché were used near the end. I think I rolled my eyes when that happened, along with a mental "I knew it."

So, yes, I found this dull, predictable, and unoriginal. But there were a few things I enjoyed about the movie:

For one thing, I recognized a few of the stars from the Disney shows that I watch- Siena Agudong and Max Torina were both guest stars from my favorite show, Sydney To The Max, and Ricardo Ortiz was in 2 episodes of Gabby Duran. These appearances made this film somewhat watchable. In fact, I wouldn't say that any of the actors were bad, just that their material was a bit lackluster.

Also, while I was often bored, I could tolerate the movie for about half the run-time. Considering that it was about 90 minutes without commercials, I enjoyed it for around 45 of them. However, at most, that's all I can say about the movie.

When I give a movie a 6/10, it's a negative review that means I didn't like it but a certain audience would like it better. As I mentioned, that would be kids under 10. If you are 11 or older, then this movie is not recommended to you. If you must see it with the intended audience, have your phone or something ready to use during the movie.

This is a magical film for kids, but the others will went to cast a spell on the 90 minutes they spent.

Reverse Recommendation: If you want a similar movie that's actually good, then I highly suggest seeing Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Even if you have seen it, re-visiting it would be a better use of your time.

Please note however that I review grown up movies as well, so be cautious as I discuss my thoughts on the content in some of these movies! Enjoy!

With her enhanced powers from the Primer of Shadowe Magicks, Reina accidentally hits Nory with a fireball, which knocks her to the ground and turns her back to normal from the shock. Nory is alright, and Knightslinger warns Skriff that he has one more chance to keep his job.

The wicked witch figure may also possess an army of minions or creatures, such as flying monkeys or evil spirits, that she uses to carry out her plans. One of the key attributes of the wicked witch figure is her desire to cause harm and chaos. Whether it is seeking revenge, pursuing power, or simply enjoying the misery of others, the wicked witch is driven by a malevolent intent. In many stories, the antagonist's downfall is often a result of their own ambition and greed, which ultimately leads to their demise. Despite their negative portrayal, the wicked witch figure can also be seen as a symbol of power and independence for women. In some interpretations, the witch represents a woman who is rejected by society and embraces her own abilities to gain power and control over her own life. Overall, the wicked witch figure is a fascinating and complex archetype that continues to capture the imagination of audiences. Whether feared or admired, this character has become an integral part of storytelling and continues to shape our understanding of good versus evil..

Reviews for "The Wicked Witch Figure and Sexual Identity: Queer Representation and Subtext"

1. John - 1 star

I found the Wicked Witch figure to be disappointing. The paint job was sloppy, with noticeable smudges and uneven lines. The figure itself felt flimsy and poorly made. The joints were loose and didn't hold a pose well. Additionally, the detailing on the face was lackluster, with the eyes looking lopsided and the mouth looking more like a smear than a defined shape. Overall, I was not impressed with the quality of this figure and would not recommend it to others.

2. Emily - 2 stars

I had high hopes for the Wicked Witch figure, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. While the sculpting was decent, the overall design lacked creativity and originality. The pose was generic and didn't capture the essence of the character. The paint job was also underwhelming, with washed-out colors and noticeable imperfections. The material used for the figure felt cheap, and I was worried about it breaking easily. I wouldn't say it's the worst figure I've seen, but it definitely didn't live up to the hype.

3. Sarah - 2 stars

I was really excited to add the Wicked Witch figure to my collection, but I was left feeling disappointed. The figure's proportions were off, with an awkwardly long torso and unnaturally skinny limbs. The facial expression was also odd, with a blank stare that didn't convey any emotion. The paint job was sloppy, with visible brush strokes and messy edges. The overall quality of the figure felt subpar, and I don't think it was worth the price. I wanted to like it, but unfortunately, it just didn't meet my expectations.
