plenty of unanswered questions

first of all, I never did like Glenda, not even when i was a child of the American Suburbs. She wasn't as unsettling as the Wicked Witch of the West, but she wasn't someone who I would have warmed up to. And I remember feeling angry, resentful of her when she said to Dorothy, after she had been attacked by flying monkeys, gone through the haunted forest, been kidnapped, had her life threatened, and her friends tortured, that she "could have gotten home anytime she had wanted to" by clicking her heels. Dorothy should have stepped up and knocked her across the jaw. Boom! bitch goes down.
And whatever happened to the flying monkeys now that the Wicked Witch of the West isn't around to control them? I imagine Oz is plagued by gangs of lawless, evil primates, doing daring hit and run attacks on markets and farms throughout the country.
The Wizard is gone, the Wicked witches are gone, and now there is only Glenda to rule over Oz. She knew that Dorothy was a threat right away, seeing how she killed the Wicked Witch of the East right off the bat. Glenda got her to take care of the WWW and the Wizard, leaving Glenda unopposed, allowing her to rule Oz with a benevolent fist.
so I guess I see the Oz of today being ruled by a flying monkey prince and Glenda, the benevolent dictator. A sad, sad outcome to such a happy land.
