I loved the first one so much, then they made a remake to expand on Mysterous Bombadil Candy past… Man I don’t need to know Tom Bombadil’s backstory, I don’t want to know about wonka’s powercreep. NOW THEY ARE MAKING A THIRD REMAKE, AND A SEQUIL BOOK HAS EXISTED THIS WHOLE TIME. This and Trolls just cashing in on that nostalgia is all they know how to do with kids. Turning Red got bawked at but I keep seeing nothing but hype for this crap.
It’s not a true Wonka movie until they start killing off kids. It’s a low bar, haven’t seen this version, hoping they clear it in glorious Wonka fashion.
Depends on what you believe about Snowpiercer https://youtu.be/jEX52h1TvuA?si=_fq8mzV8saPiFElz
Funding education: Willy Wonka no
Child murder: Willy Wonka yes
Don’t forget the neoliberal fantasy of a gleeful slave class who work for food.
I suppose in that specific sense (the exploited slave workforce), the Oompa Loompas aren’t even that unrealistic a portrayal of how chocolate gets produced.
Sure the Oompa Loompas are dying in forced labor, but this is the Best System in the World™
Did anyone here even watch the Movie?
Why on earth would anyone do that?
I saw the trailer and it was absolute dogshit.
So you didn’t see it. Thanks. Proves my point
Happy to help. Not sure what point we’re proving? That even the trailer is unwatchable?
That y’all are as shallow and dumb as the kids that hated justin bieber back in the day.

If you are wise you’ll listen to me
What do you get when you buy a company
That is struggling to make any money?
You strip it down and sell all of its parts
And pocket all of the profits
with no remorse
You don’t care about the workers’ fate
You only care about the growth rate
You know that greed is good and right
You sleep so soundly every night
Oompa loompa doompety da
If you are greedy you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do
Doompety do
Wrong set! You’re supposed to be on the set of Pretty Woman!

But this one explains how he hoodwinks a culture into indentured servitude (I assume)!
Drugs, probably. Or just took a page from the Christianity playbook.
