That's because in the cut version of the script there was a Dorothy/Scarecrow romance plot
That one's a no-brainer
Back then people were a lot less neurotic about never hurting anyone’s feelings
- I'm glad we improved.
  
  “Neurotic” is not a good thing to be
their journey was long. the nights were cold.

couldn't fuck the tinman because of frostbite. Couldn't fuck the cowardly lion because he was a simp.

stawman came through for her. most dicks don't need brains.
- That's not what she said. You're making a strawman argument
- Nick wouldn't have wanted to fuck her anyway. He didn't even want to fuck his own girlfriend after his balls were replaced with tin. That's why he started looking for a heart.
- Couldn’t fuck the cowardly lion because he was a simp.
  
  Also the barbed penis.
In fairness, she canonically knew Scarecrow the longest, and he gave her directions, helped her get some really yummy apples, and wisely brought a gun into the forest to protect her. Still a dick move, though.
- Scarecrow was strapped?
  
  Always got that mf thang tucked.
Every time i see an image of this movie i am reminded that they used asbestos snow which resulted in the deaths of all the actors iirc

Edit: evidently only scarecrow maybe died due to asbestos

  Looks like only the scarecrow died from it (and his cancer may not have even been caused by the asbestos)
  
  Tiny Dinky Daffy (Baby of the Year 1928): Died on March 14, 2019, pancaked by drunk dump truck driver at age 92.
  
  Damn heart attacks are dangerous, appreciate the info. I corrected my comment
- Tinman almost died on set due to the unsafe body paint, too iirc
- The whole production was a giant trainwreck. The asbestos is only a small part of it
- I have heard lf the asbestos use, but did they actually die from it?
  
  They didn't
The Tin Man's heart shrunk three sizes that day.
- He got it just in time to be broken.
Dorothy playing favourites caused a rash of victims in suicide forest on their way to the Emerald City
- That's a damn crane or heron or whatever.
  
  It's a bird.
  
  Not even, this is actually an edited version of the clip that was sent out to people who mistook it for real because Mandela Effect.
If you've seen the, err, adult version of the story you'd understand why.
- Every time I close my eyes I think of Mars and Venus. And anytime I start to dream I want to suck a -- hey! A Big Red apple!
He has no brains, so he will believe her.
