Audio: "Look Into My Eyes," Janelle Monáe

Video:

  • Emerald City (NBC, 2017), episode 6 "Beautiful Wickedness," teleplay by Kelly Sue DeConnick
  • The Wizard of Oz (dir. Victor Fleming, 1939)
  • Avengers Fairy Tales, No. 4 (Marvel, 2008)

Tickled by the challenge playlist for guest of honor Kelly Sue DeConnick, I figured I could manage a one-shot vid for the Emerald City episode that she wrote. It seemed appropriate to choose another song from the same album, and "Look Into My Eyes" was the shortest! It was perfect for the theme of media authorship as adaptation and transformation. I wanted to incorporate some comics since that's DeConnick's primary oeuvre. Did I know that Marvel did an Avengers reimagining of The Wizard of Oz? I did not! I found that by looking on Wikipedia.
