History WMG / CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory

[[WMG: In making his factory, Wonka inadvertently tunneled into [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Gensokyo]]]]

** [[NotSoDifferent Sound familiar?]]

In fact, it was a very real thing and Willy got his ability to do seemingly impossible things from him.

[[WMG: Wilbur and Willy Wonka have RalityWarper powers related to their force of will]]

[[WMG:The Teavee surname was abbreviated from something jawcracking, possibly to hide an inconvenient ethnic background during UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne.

At least in [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory the first film]], it was said Mr. Salt's workers haven't done their jobs for three days. Maybe Wonka decided to get another supplier and hate Salt for failing him.

* On the other hand, Mr. Salt deals in nuts, which would be used in candy, and it's not impossible there were some bad business deals somewhere. Wonka may have decided he could kill two birds with one stone.

[[WMG: Wonka is, or thinks he is, [[PowerRangers Zordon.]]]]

Most of the book, starting from finding the dollar in the street, is actually something Charlie [[TheLittleMatchGirl hallucinated while dying of cold]] or starvation.

* Willy Wonka is the original Jewish interpretation of Satan from The Book of Job. That concept of the Devil [[SatanIsGood worked for God]], tempting people to determine who was just in His eyes. Instead of [[NightmareFuel inflicting horrible plagues on Charile]], Satan decided to tempt the kids by appealing to their sin.

They are severely malnourished. All the Buckets are, in fact. In Dahl's very words: "The only meals they could afford were bread and margarine for breakfast, boiled potatoes and cabbage for lunch, and cabbage soup for supper." And this is before Charlie's father is laid off.

Assuming 2 slices of bread, 1 tbsp. of butter, 2 boiled potatoes, 1 cup of cabbage and 2 cups of cabbage soup (1 c water + 1 c cabbage), the only vitamins that the adults meet or surpass the daily recommended amount are vitamins C, E and K. They just barely miss getting enough B6. They certainly do not get enough vitamins A (RAE or IU), B1, B2, B3, or B9, nor do they get any B5, B7, B12 or Choline.

The amount of vitamin D they receive would be directly proportionate to the amount of sunlight they receive. 20 minutes in the sun is adequate to receive enough vitamin D, so Charlie and possibly his parents would get enough. His grandparents in that dark shack probably would not.

There are also no minerals they are getting enough of. They are only getting trace amounts of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. They are not getting any chloride, chromium, copper, fluoride, iodine, lysine, manganese, molybdenum or selenium at all.

As for basic nutrition, they are getting just over 1/4th of the recommended daily energy, 30% of protein, 18% of fat, 35% of carbs, 28% of sugars and less than 1/2 of dietary fiber. The only others that their bodies are getting enough of are cholesterol (only because the body naturally produces enough to survive) and sodium (only need 115 mg and they are receiving 410 mg which is well below the suggested maximum).

Fred [[spoiler:didn't die]] during the final battle. Instead, he was attacked by a [[LiveActionTV/DoctorWho Weeping Angel]] which had been woken by the noise and confusion of the battle, or by all the stones/statues being destroyed. It transported him back in time 40 years or so. The [[spoiler:'body']] was put there by [[LiveActionTV/DoctorWho The Doctor]] becuase he knew that he couldn't reveal the truth to the grieving Weasleys - it would cause too much trouble and confusion right after the battle, and the chaos of the wizarding world after the downfall of Voldemort and the second wizarding war could not discover the reality of the Doctor's existence or alien life. Therefore the Doctor was forced to watch the Weasleys [[spoiler:grieving over what they thought was their son]], and was unable to tell them the truth. [[RuleOfCool Luna was the only one who knew.]] Just ''because''.

[[WMG: Wonka's older brother is Roarke from ''FantasyIsland'' and his younger brother is Calypso from ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'']]

[[WMG: Wonka is, or is an agent of, [[LordOfTheRings Saruman the White]].]]

Much more apparent in the 2005 film. Veruca recognizes quality when she sees it, despite wanting everything of quality that she sees and having no restraint. Augustus loves candy, which is huge if you're going to run a company based on it. Violet has the confidence and girl power necessary to deal with setbacks, and Mike is a technological genius. In short, you could've had five genius junior CEOs running the place as a board, if four of them hadn't had the weaknesses that couple with their strengths overindulged.

Of course! What nice person would pretend to be paralyzed in order to live off their poverty-stricken kid?

Willy Wonka is portrayed in the book looking vaguely demonic. In both the movie and book versions, he tempts the children with their sin. For example, Mike Teevee is sloth, Veruca is greed, Augustus is clearly gluttony. Many of the children have multiple deadly sins associated with them. When tragedy strikes the children, Wonka half-assedly gets help, as though he is not very interested in saving them.
