Killed in the Grimm attack which destroyed his village. Please, be respectful and DO NOT comment anything from future episodes." Well, I respect that, a fighter to the end."Ĭrushed underneath the ceiling of her house after the Nuckelavee caved it in. What do you think of these theories? What are some of your theories? Do you like Volume 6? What was your reaction to Jinn telling Oz that Salem can’t be destroyed? That was a big “WHAAAAAT?!” moment for me personally. I think we’ll essentially have three factions: the heroes, the villains, and a small band of Cinder and friends.

The only question is, what role will Neo serve? I think she’s going to work with Cinder again. In the credits, we see Torchwick’s hat fly by Cinder, but we know that Torchwick got eaten by a Nevermore. Theory #3 is that we will see the return of Neo, aka Mary Poppins. While I don’t think that Oz is responsible for creating Salem, I hypothesize that he doesn’t agree. Theory #2 today is that Oz blames himself for Salem. My theory is that they died, but later in life Oz found four maidens that reminded him of his daughters and so he bestowed upon them their powers. We see the daughters with Oz when Oz gets into a physical fight with Salem and then we don’t see them, but we see the castle in ruin. I was talking to a friend, and they suggested that Oz’s and Salem’s daughters were the original four maidens that we learn about in Volume 3. It’s time to theorize based on the new information received in the episode. What do you think her goal actually is at this point? I felt like they tried to explain Salem’s goal, but also wanted to make it ambiguous and it has just left me a little confused. However, towards the end, it seemed like maybe she wants to summon the gods and destroy them instead. During the first half of the episode I figured Salem’s goal was to acquire the four relics so that she could wipe out humanity which would allow her to finally die. My question is in regards to Salem’s desire for the relics. Overall, the episode was handled beautifully in my opinion, but I was left with a question and some theories. However, they loved each other enough to build up a home and have four daughters who I can only presume were the inspiration for the four maidens (I’ll talk about this in theories). However, she seemed as if she still cared deeply for Ozman. We eventually see Ozman and Salem have a family, which was shocking because I figured that after diving into the Pool of Grimm that she would become straight up evil and just a shell of the person she used to be. Was anyone else confused by that? Can you explain it to me? However, then they resurrect Ozman, and there are people. The gods mention how they wiped out humanity and left Salem to be alone. We also saw magic as part of human life, and then we saw it taken away for its abuse. Once it was brought to his attention that the God of Light had already denied Salem’s request, he apologized for going against the agreements that the two gods had created. He was a little prideful and hotheaded, but he wasn’t chaotic like similar characters are often portrayed. I loved how the God of Darkness wasn’t an evil god. It also dropped why the world is called Remnant, which is something I wasn’t expecting at all.

This episode was an incredible way to tell us the story of Ozpin and Salem, and it sprinkled in other things such as how the moon was destroyed. Salem wanted the love of her life, who was a good person, to be resurrected and ended up basically dooming humanity. She also leads to the death of her sister with the ruby slippers. Elphaba essentially creates the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion by trying to help people. One, they both seem to have good intentions with their actions, but those actions tend to make things worse. I was talking to my resident Wizard of Oz/ Wicked expert and they helped me understand a few things.

Also, they both have abnormal skin colors.

Salem wants the four relics (we’ll get to that in a minute), and Elphaba wants the ruby slippers. For instance, they’re both obsessed with obtaining an object of power. Jinn describes her as wicked at one point, which really sells it to me personally, but there’s more to it.

I still think Salem is based on Elphaba, aka the Wicked Witch of the West. I don’t believe that Ozpin/Ozman was responsible, but rather Salem’s selfishness and inability to cope with loss were the start and then her stubbornness really took over and pushed her over to what she is now. I would argue that my theory about Ozpin creating Salem was wrong. First, let’s address a theory brought up last time.
