Tumblr Thread: Violet Beauregarde Should've Won Willy Wonka's Factory


Tumblr's wandering minds are always down to lead us down wild rabbit holes with their compelling fan theories and astute observations. Recently, we were taken on quite the rollercoaster when it came to an analysis of "The Incredibles" by the Tumblr world that really spared no details. In this case though, we have a Tumblr thread that puts forth a solid case for why Violet Beauregardewas in fact robbed of a rightful victory, and should've been put in charge of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

Lip - 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 immediately. She was able to switch to candy bars for the sake of the contest, so we know she has personal discipline and is goal oriented. 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 fit

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.

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 river. Charlie sneaks around and contaminates 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, sarcastic, c
