Don’t look at me

i think willy wonka and jay gatsby share so many similarities - elusive billionaires who seem almost inhuman especially with the constant mystery surrounding their characters.

for example the constant allusions to magic and intangibility when (our very unreliable narrator) nick percieves gatsby - we have only ever known of gatsby though nick. hes so surreal - a dream.

wonka very clearly not being of this world. extensive knowledge of vermicious knids? a spacecraft that is miles ahead of nasa? who is this guy really?

also their distinct personalities that make them so hard to cast. gatsby is desperately insecure. he constantly tries to ingratiate himself with those around him. mr "picking his words with care". leonardo dicaprio didnt work because his immediate stage presence undermined all of this.

wonka is so multifaceted and i dont think he has ever really been translated onto film 100% accurately before. forget the book description, try casting someone that can emulate his personality.

solution? animate both👍👍

happy autism month to him and him only 😋💞

Ok. Hear me out.

Willy Wonka is just the Weasley Twins muggle business. They LITERALLY just took out the Wizards and it’s Willy Wonka. WW.

They canonically sell muggle things out of WWW. So come on. Think about it.

Give me Wonka Weasleys Pleasley

And after Fred died, there probs was a moment where George didn’t want to be around Magic for a while. Since it just reminded him of Fred. So maybe Wonka could have been a means to still keep inventing, and keeping Fred’s memory, while taking a healthy break from the magic world. JUST THINK ABOUT IT-!

((Also like. Bro. JKR, that dang puta, really wasn’t subtle in basing the twins on Willy Wonka. Like come on. You know she did. You know she did))

JUST WATCHED THE WONKA MOVIE. THE AMOUNT OF GENE WILDER’S WONKA REFERENCES THEY USED IN THIS MOVIE MADE ME GENUINELY HAPPY IDK WHY.. LIKE WHEN HE SANG ‘a world of pure imagination’ BY THE END OF THE MOVIE I FREAKED OUT 😭😭

[thesharktist]

Do you guys think Willy Wonka and William Afton would get along?

They totally wouldn't, but imagine that duo and imagine them as the world's best crack ship. Like. Look at them, okay.

I have a few other drawings of them that I could show, but just think about it. Let it sink in is all.

Do you want to see my other art for them??

It’s Analysis Friday! Who’s seen Wonka? I love that it keeps to the original film’s spirit. There’s so many delicious connections to the book and both movie adaptations. Let’s gooooo

Overall, this musical prequel has really hit home by creating many parallels to Charlie. Some striking ones:

Wonka shares his chocolate (his mom’s homemade one) with his found family; Charlie shares with his family.

The Chocolate Cartel is a mirroring of the four bratty children Charlie has to compete against.

Wonka and Charlie were both in poor families and received chocolate once a year

Both are big dreamers

I also love that many small touches add to the depth seen in earlier movies:

The 5 people who help him get his business started inspired him to have 5 golden tickets when searching for an heir.

The golden ticket itself was inspired by a message Wonka’s mom wrote on some gold leaf inside her chocolate’s wrapper

Wonka lived in a house boat as a kid, which explains the chocolate river and the boat.

He got the crazy long fine print on a contract from Mrs. Scrubbit

And finally, the most heart-warming: “the man who suddenly got everything he wanted lived happily ever after”. Wonka makes this happen for Noodle, and does it again for Charlie.

nostalgic

despised by Roald Dahl

2005 WONKA

closer to the source material

traumatized

edgy af

scared the shit out of me when I was little

2023 WONKA
