I knew they were gonna do this shyt.... make Wonka zany af, awkward and mentally ill instead of showing that he was putting on a performance like they did in the Wilder version. shyts gonna be safe af with a generic message

Gen Z Wonka is on the spectrum, and we have to acknowledge that. Just like the Good Doctor :ufdup:

A big part of me wishes Paul King would’ve just carried on with Paddington 3 but I hope this is good.

For some reason i had a feeling it was the Paddington people making this and I actually think it stands a chance if thats the case.

I just cannot stand chalamet

damn, i had high hopes for this since i loved the gene wilder one…

chalamet doesn’t have the charm or natural eccentricity to pull off a younger version of wilder’s character…

I guess they believe teenage girls will run to support this. How did Dune do at the box office?
