* DeniedParody: Creator/TimBurton went on record as saying this Wonka was '''NOT''' a parody or {{Expy}} of Music/MichaelJackson after the bulk of reviews pointed out the similarities between the two figures -- and, at least in Creator/RogerEbert's review, actually counted it as a point against the film because it came off as so creepy. This is a rather plausible denial, as the resemblances between the two -- both are soft-spoken, pale, UncannyValley-appearing ReclusiveArtist {{Man Child}}ren -- owe more to Burton's usual character aesthetics and Depp taking inspiration from ''Vogue'' magazine editor Anna Wintour in appearance and the original novel's characterization in personality. (Jackson himself had sought the role out when the project was announced for that reason.) Unfortunately, the superficial similarities came along just after Jackson's months-long trial on child molestation charges wrapped up (the nature of the NotHisSled twist in this version may not have helped).

* AnachronismStew: Mike Teavee's introduction starts outside with the sounds of a 2000s-era [[FirstPersonShooter FPS]]. But the video game system he is seen sitting behind, at his TV, is clearly an [[UsefulNotes/Atari2600 Atari 2600]] "Light Sixer", which is [[OlderThanTheNES from the 1970's]]. Mike is also somehow using a PC flight joystick to "play" the game, which would almost never be used for an FPS, and was never an accessory to the Atari 2600.

Creator/SamMendes wasn't too happy about this, since he wanted the show to stand on its own merits, but since audiences and critics love its placement as ClimacticMusic -- and it ties in to the CentralTheme perfectly -- this is arguably a case of TropesAreNotBad.
