The official term is involuntary manslaughter, but it would only be applicable to the Witch of the West, however it would require recklessness or negligence, neither of which were present. Then again, when Dorothy's house falls on the Witch of the East, although it's basically a death from natural disaster, she proceeds to steal a family heirloom, the ruby slippers, from the deceased witch and refuses to give them back to her kin, the Witch of the West, so there's some degree of instigation. That does not excuse how Dorothy is kidnapped and detained, plus there's the criminal intent the witch has to kill Dorothy. It's a shit show all around, but that's Kansas for you.

Wizard of Oz is an isekai
-
It is. I tried once to make the argument that Jurassic Park is, too, but I get yelled at.
-
What's your argument? I'm all for twisting shit to make stuff isekai but jurassic park is just an island on planet earth with revived dinos.
-
Because to make that argument, you have to reduce the definition to the point of uselessness. Jurassic Park isn't Isekai/Stranger in a Strange Land because the island isn't a strange, unknown land. It was created by the same people/culture the main characters are from. Isekai needs an independent culture with it's own history and people.

LOTS of popular western classics are isekai. Alice in Wonderland, Peterpan, The Chronicles of Narnia, Gulliver's Travels all come to mind.
-
And here I thought that a key aspect of isekai was being completely unoriginal in every way

-
The first one was, at worst, manslaughter. The second was premeditated, but at the insistence and manipulation of one of Oz's super powers, so she could probably get a plea deal if she's willing to dish on Glinda.
-
It would be great to have a show like Drunk History and Robot Chicken and Harvey Birdman where famous characters are put on trial for their various crimes

She doesn't really "meet" the wicked witch of the east, and it's hard to argue that she "kills" her, either, considering that was an act of god which Dorothy didn't really want to be a part of.

I remember Ted Lasso very differently

Louis CK talking about how the Wizard of Oz weirded him out. (NSFW language)
