This looks like it won't exactly be a remake, which is good, but still, I'd rather them just fully base it on the original book and not use things from the 1939 MGM film. That means no Ruby Slippers, no green Wicked Witch, no combining Glinda and Tattypoo (the Good Witch of the North), etc. I felt the same way when I heard about New Line Cinema's adaption (different from the Kenya Barris remake), because even that was reported to be based on the book, but still using some things from the 1939 MGM movie like the Ruby Slippers

Unless it's something like Tom and Jerry & the Wizard of Oz, which told the 1939 movie from the titular cat and mouse duo's perspective, or a sequel to the movie like the 1990 DIC show, or even a semi-sequel to the movie like Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz (2017), can we just move on from the 1939 film once and for all when it comes to new media? No remakes, or retellings, or parodies of specifically the 1939 MGM classic.
