Tumblr Thread: Violet Deserved Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory


Ah, yes, a good old fashioned Tumblr thread that takes a long and hard look at the iconic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This Tumblr user provides some compelling points for why Willy Wonka had a serious lapse in judgment when it came to who he picked to inherit his chocolate factory. Even though Violet Beauregarde was especially irritating and always brought the spicy attitude, it seems like she could've offset that with her very qualified skillset. 

Check out some more totally random Tumblr treasures over here.

Text - evayna Violet Beauregarde should've won Wonka's chocolate factory Have I watched the movie in the last decade or more? No. Do I have iron clad evidence to support my argument? Yes.

Text - 1. She's the most knowledgeable about candy. She's committed to it, and knows her stuff. When Wonka holds up a little yellow piece across the room, she recognizes it im- mediately. She was able to switch to candy bars for the sake of the contest, so we know she has personal discipline and is goal ori- ented. Also, two major projects play directly into her strong suits: the 3-course-meal gum that Wonka failed to make safe (gum) and the neverending gobstopper (longevity). 2. She's the most

Text - 3. She's the most sympathetic to the Oompa Loompas. She critiques Veruca when Veruca demands to buy one. More importantly, Wonka has been testing the 3-course-meal gum that 'always goes wrong' on Oompa Loompas while he presumably just watches. Violet is ready to put herself on the front line, instead of treating the Oompa Loompas as disposable, and would therefore be a better boss. 4. Her personality 'flaw' is the most fitting for the company. In the moralizing Oompa Loompa song, they jus

Text - 5. Her misstep in the factory is reasonable. Wonka shows everyone a candy he's very proud of. Violet is like "oh sick, that's gum, my special interest." Wonka is then pulls a "WRONG! It's amazing gum!" So in the very moments before she takes the gum Wonka has mislead her just to belittle her. So when he's like "I wouldn't do that" why should she give a shit what he has to say? She's not like Charlie over here who's all "Sure Gramps, let's stay behind while the tour leaves and secretly dri

Text - So Augustus contaminates the chocolate 5/5 river. Charlie sneaks around and contami- nates the vent walls. Veruca destroys and disrupts the workspace. Mike knows exactly what will happen to him and transports/ shrinks himself deliberately. Violet had no idea what the gum could potentially do to her, and caused no harm to anyone or anything but herself. Lastly: Can you imagine Charlie filling Wonka's shoes? That passive, naive boy? Violet is already basically Wonka. She's passionate, sarca
