Tumblr User Explains Why Violet Should Have Won In “Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory”
We’ve all got our childhood favorites, from cartoons to music, from toys to movies, etc. Some like “Matilda” while others are all about “Home Alone,” but we’re sure there are quite a few who would choose “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” as their all-time favorite. And there’s certainly a good reason for that.
The movie offers an exciting adventure, full of colors and fantasy and all things fun! The story also provides some teaching moments, and we all know how everyone loves a good moral, where the kind are rewarded, and the flawed are punished. However, one Tumblr user, Evayna, did not agree with the moral of Wonka’s story and proposed her own take on how the movie should’ve ended.
While the original favors poor Willy Wonka character named Charlie, this woman thinks that he wasn’t fit to inherit the chocolate factory and offers an alternative in her seemingly funny Tumblr post. “I don’t remember the spark, but it was basically “The one who loves candy gets in trouble for eating candy in a candy factory tour where everywhere you go you eat candy. This is ludicrous.” Evayna told Bored Panda, explaining what first started the whole post. “I’ve noticed women often respond a lot more positively than men do. I think we’ve all felt the unfair punishment for not being ‘ladylike’ and having our skills overlooked, same as with Violet Beauregarde” she added. Scroll down below to read her funny Tumblr take on Willy Wonka’s choice and tell us if you agree in the comments!

No. She never deserved it- too greedy and too disciplined to run a company that's about people more than chocolate. She might be ambitious but no morals. I don't think W***y Wonka wanted a heartless, money driven person to follow once he was gone... This would work for her if Wonka was a money grabbing businessman- but he wasn't so no!

Don’t forget that the 1971 Wilder film was a saccharine travesty of the original book (which has no orange Oompa-Loompas, no golden geese, no fizzy lifting drinks, and no Slugworth sub-plot) and was hated by Roald Dahl who completely disassociated himself from it (hence why it was called “W***y Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” instead of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”). At least, aside from the ludicrous father/dentist backstory, Tim Burton’s film was a much better interpretation.

Roald Dahl did hate the movie, but Dahl's book was embarrassingly racist (even before today's reflexive mantra that everything is racist), and the movie was a vast improvement over the book -- especially the orange Oompa-Loompas! Wilder's performance is anything but saccharine. Tim Burton might have been more faithful to the book but, aside from being eye candy, his movie is terrible.

Honestly, I really don't care who wins (but it can't be a snobby kid)like i'm just trying to lowkey enjoy the movie, but I also like hearing someone else's point of view because it is kind of interesting

Well, that's a way to think about it, and I totally agree with her...But the actual story does teach impulse-control, something I struggled with as a child. My parents and I watched this frequently to teach me lessons about humbleness (IDK if that's a word) and thinking before you act.

For the future, I’m pretty sure it’s humility, or something like that?

I'm convinced. I am 100% sure Violet would make the company even more successful. Charlie and his extremely needy family might run the place in the ground. Violet is clearly a leader. I'm not so sure about Charlie.

This was really fun to read :p I like to watch series and movies I've already seen and focus on other characters than I did the first time. You bet your a*s I'm popping in W***y Wonka this christmas! :D

Incorrect. There's a reason he's not just recruiting accounting majors from the best universities and it's the same reason he didn't pick lousy Violet Beauregarde. Here: https://youtu.be/4fxsEDptql8

I don’t think she should have won at all. She was told specifically to not eat that 3 course gum so she clearly isn’t very good at taking orders or following rules. Also, the fact that she loves candy shouldn’t be a reason for her to work there. Ever heard the saying “never get high on your own supply”? Also, yes, she could have been keeping the gobstopper for herself however, she didn’t tell Wonka about the man who wanted it.

She sounds like she'd be a miserable, iron-fisted tyrant of a boss to me.

It's an interesting argument but I don't think violet was testing the gum to save the Oompa Loompas. She was impulsive and wanted what she wanted. All the kids failed in the sense that they were impulsive and took something dangerous. Charlie won because he passed the final test. Violet might have kept the gobstopper for herself, but that wasn't the point. Wonka needed PROOF of the kids not giving it away, not "maybe they will, maybe they won't." Also if wonka just wanted someone determined and business minded he would have held job interviews not bizarre tests.

Wrong. Wanka wanted to share delicious candy with all the children in the world whereas Violet wanted it all for herself. She is the anti-Wanka. The devil knows scripture and Violet knows candy.

And really, who would put that Gobstopper in their mouth? It would shred your cheeks and the roof of your mouth. It was made specifically to sell because no kid would want to eat it.

A never diminishing gobstopper means you are sucking on a rock. But on the other hand . . . Considering the wonderful contributions Mr Hershey made in founding Hershey PA . . . not a bad story . . .

If it was an ordinary factory with the aim to make money from candy then yes, she would have been ideal. But this was about more than that. It needed curiosity, imagination, naivety, to be humble, someone who isn't selfish etc. She was far from an ideal candidate for his factory.

No, Veruca would have been the worst pick. She would have treated the Oompa-Loompas like c**p.
