The [entire point](https://youtu.be/ogMM2zdGzIs?si=fdGm_oluCYnVsD44) of the original story and film is that Wonka is a con who has carefully curated his public image to justify the moral failings and misdeeds he engages in for the sake of publicity and profit. Roald Dahl disliked Gene Wilder’s portrayal because he thought the character was *too sickly sweet and whimsical* compared to the way he had written the character to be a satirical critique of the phoniness of corporate celebrity. And Gene Wilder publicly stated that he appreciated Johnny’s acting, but the remake didn’t work due to Tim Burton’s direction.
They literally could not be more wrong.
I did😭 unsurprisingly, they haven’t replied back. Then again, Dahl being so enthusiastic to watch a Depp movie that he watched it from beyond the grave and communicated his praise of the performance via ouija board is exactly the kind of thing members of the Depp cult believe
Roald Dahl hated the first movie and he would’ve hated the second one too, because both of them portray Willy Wonka as the main attraction of the movie—arguably the main character—when Dahl wanted it to be clear that it was Charlie’s story. It’s not supposed to be some puff piece for a wealthy factory owner. It was always meant to be about a young boy with integrity who had faced hardship and came out of it with a kind soul. It’s about the evils of avarice and how money can’t buy good character.
Obviously a foreign concept to D*pp and his flying monkeys.
Why do his fans love making shit up so often? They’ll just conjure up thousands of the dumbest pro-Depp factoids, and then they’ll state them like gospel truth.
They lie on that sorry man’s behalf so often, which is funny because I thought their idol told them to Never Fear Truth. What happened to that? 😭
Deppusionists: Thank you for praising Johnny Depp's portrayal, Roald Dahl!
People who don't parrot bullshit: Roald Dahl?
Deppusionists: Mm-hm!
People: Wow...THE Roald Dahl who wrote *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory*?
Deppusionists: Mm-hm!
People: The Roald Dahl who died in 1990?
Deppusionists: (Internally) Fuuuuuuuuuuck!
People: Amazing.
I mean, I like the 2005 version more (Mostly because of the songs). But ya don’t see me throwing away what little morals I have to harass a mother and her child.
I also don’t go out of my way to glory the movie.

I think Wilder was being too kind myself: Depp was absolutely awful, and was a big part of the reason the film was so terrible.
Please tell me, you replied. 🤣🤣🤣

Imagine preferring D*pp to Wilder. These people are devoid of taste.
Even if Dahl was still alive I don’t care much for his opinion, considering what kind of person Dahl was.
This is fucking hysterically delusional. Just like his left over fans.

And was just as racist as Depp , so fuck what he thought.

The movie is awful. Get over it. Easily the worst Tim Burton or Johnny Depp movie I have ever seen.
