Mike Teavee!

Teavee is a precocious little rascal who has loved his TV more than anything, ever since he was young. Glued to the screen, he rarely goes outside, and rarely spends time with family, not to mention friends.

Dear ol' Charlie Bucket

Charlie is an ordinary boy who lives in a rather ordinary town. With not very much money, Charlie still finds a way to enjoy life even when times are tough. He loves candy, though he rarely has any, especially Wonka candy, and after hearing all about his Grandpa Joe's time at the factory, dreams of meeting the mysterious Willy Wonka some day...

A foolish, childish dream, most say, but who knows? Sometimes dreams DO come true...

while I slowly get the refs of all of the kids down, I figured y'all would wanna know what Wonka actually looks like.

"What a funny man Wonka was, he managed to look both everything and nothing like what Charlie had expected.

His whole get-up was comprised of: A prim, gorgeous, and rather expensive looking purple velveteen coat, and Black high-rise boots with straps on either side of his legs that rose all the way up to his belt, an undershirt that ruffled at the collar like a wave of marshmallow fluff, and a swirling bowtie.

His long, curling hair was a lovely strawberry blonde, almost pinkish in the sun, and his face was peachy and rosy with life. His features were soft, showing strangely little age for someone grampa worked for when HE was young. His cheeks were dotted with freckles, and he wore a kind smile across his lips, to which Charlie noted, was full of oddly perfect teeth for a candy maker.

And attop his head lay a deep purple hat, with a ribbon of magenta wrapped around it's brim."

-from one of my little writings for the rewrite

For a majority of the story at least. In this rewrite we get to see Wonka slowly unwind as he loses connection with his humanity. (Did I mention the factory itself is alive? It's complicated, anyway, Wonka has effectively made himself partially a part of it, and as the story slowly progresses he slowly gives himself more to the factory itself, partially as an act of cosmetic self preservation, and as a way of giving himself the upper hand in catching the kids that have now teamed up to beAT HIM TO DEATH)

HEY THERE! sorry for yelling but if you're willing would you be able to tell us any more about the Wonka Rewrite story you have going??????

YESYESYESYEYS HI HIH

I have a lot of thoughts about this story I just never post them here...

So much to say, let me just summarize the story- and a few other things, I'll try to give information I haven't previously spoken about.

Basically, my rewrite goes, at first, about the same as the original story, - kind of. There are a few aspects from both films thrown in there. Charlie Bucket is a boy who lives on the edge of town in a creaky old home with his mother and his four bed-ridden grandparents. His grandfather always tells him stories of his time working in the factory of the great Willy Wonka, who's had the factory gates closed for quite some time, and Charlie, an avid enjoyer of the Wonka candy (but who isn't?) dreams of visiting the factory some day, even if he knows the chances are highly unlikely.

Anyway, golden tickets are announced, we get to meet our lucky winners,

Agustus Gloop, a young boy from Düsseldorf, Germany, a lover of sweets from all over the globe, the boy was destined to find the golden ticket.

Veruca Salt, daughter of one of the richest assorted nut salesmen, a rather outspoken and spoiled young girl who would not rest, nor let her parents rest for that matter, until she was given a golden ticket.

Violet Beauregarde, a prize-winner till the end, she was determined to win this contest, and as luck would have it, she found a ticket!

Mike Teavee, a television extraordinaire, who used his knowledge on advanced algorythmic technologies to locate the second to last ticket. Some would call it cheating, but I don't think he really cares either way.

And as luck would have it, Charlie finds himself to be the final ticket winner after spending a loose dollar on a Wonka bar!

From here on out, the story progresses sort of the way it usually does, kids get picked off one by one, the oompa loompas sing their funny little songs, (though of course, I prefer to change violet's demise... the internet has made violet as a whole character an uncomfortable subject >:( ,)

The story only really deviates when only Charlie remains, and the charming Mr. Wonka offers to him the true prize for winning this game, the keys to factory. Charlie, though originally star-struck by the entire ordeal, has grown to feel more uneasy about the man's flagrant disregard for the lives of the children that Charlie has grown rather fond of, despite their....various flaws. He denies the offer, instead taking to criticizing Wonka for being so careless and unkind to his friends, to which Wonka does not take very well....

Did I mention Wonka is like- not human? I talked a bit about that towards the tail end of this post. Again, it's this "third act" where it gets kind of insane, PLEASE bear with me. Wonka is, in a way that doesn't sound completely insane, a part of the factory itself. The factory is a LIVING thing, and it is Wonka as he is it. This has become a bit of a burden for him and he really just wants to- not have to be a part of this thing before, but he needs to pass this curse onto someone else. So when Charlie declines the offer, rather aggressively so, he freaks out, and kinda freaks Charlie out too, who ends up escaping to the inner workings of the factory. From this point forward, he begins to collect all of the kids who previously met their suspected demises, (theyre alive just- a little messed up is all. theyll be ok) and gets them all back together. Along the way, the kids all learn more about each other, and begin to become closer as friends, working through each other's issues instead of ignoring them.

Finally, they find Wonka again, as a team, and proceed to beat the crap out of him. It's difficult, as Wonka has practically given himself up entirely to the factory, allowing him to become kind of terrifying. like really scary candy monster style. But they eventually win, and escape the factory. And even though they're bruised and a little broken, they have each other, and that's all that really matters now.

Is that cheesy? Idk. I have a lot i just skidded over. I didn't talk about the oompa loompas. theyre scary. I'll tell more about them later, eventually, I think.

This is a pretty basic rundown, you've got me thinking since you asked, so I'm probably gonna draw and talk about this more.

Hope this wasn't totally incoherent!

Charlie Bucket was a final girl

The 1971 Gene Wilder film is objectively the best Charlie and the Chocolate Factory adaptation because all subsequent media has tried to make Willy Wonka relatable, or at least warped in a fun and sympathetic sort of way, but Gene Wilder stared the source material in the face and said: "No, there's something deeply and dangerously wrong with this man. I'll have done my job correctly if you look up at the screen and see nothing human behind those eyes."

All you fools are gonna look super dumb when the Queen hobbles out on her walking stick in February, stops in a daze, topples forward and almost falls flat on her face, but at the last second does a forward somersault, jumps back up, and then cheerfully gives a bunch of children a tour of Buckingham Palace, during which she kills them off one by one, in order to choose which one will be the next queen.

how would you die in willy wonka's chocolate factory

id lie to his face until he mustered up the courage to kill me himself

Someone had to do it-

I need a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory graphic novel
