Today was the day where I saw, Azula a 14-year-old abused, mentally ill girl, compare to h*tler, a dictator that sent thousands to concentration camps to die horrible gruesome deaths.

It makes me sad sometimes that Ellie had the burden of "fixing" Joel. Yet another woman putting in emotional labor for the benefit of a man?

Ok. I finally saw the movie today and I loved it. 🍫🎩🏭

Those who have also seen it or are not afraid of spoilers, read on.

It wasn't like the other movies or the musicals or the book, but I don't mind. That's the point, it's a different interpretation and I'm fine with that. One main theme of this story is following and achieving one's dreams, and it shows that theme alongside others in all its glass-half-full glory. It's full of whimsy and camp and its proud of that.

The songs are nice and wouldn't sound out of place in one of the Dahl musicals. One of them, World of Your Own, even reminds me of the Beatles, which is saying something if you ask me. Timothée Chalamet's voice sounded a little meh but I don't mind. He's doing his best and it doesn't hurt the film. I'm sure I'm just used to the bombastic performances of the musical and I'll warm up to this film's soundtrack soon enough. They even put the original Oompa-loompa song to good use, more on that later.

Willy Wonka himself is eccentric and creative but also naive, and throughout the film he gets more clever as he gets more experience, which is good character growth right there. He has talent for his craft, as well as passion for it, but he quickly learns that that alone won't be enough to achieve his dreams. In addition, he comes from poverty, doesn't even know how to read and has to work his way up to his own store, and eventually factory. Not only is that something I can admire and relate to, but it reminds me of one particular lyric from the character's entrance song from the West End musical, It must be Believed to be Seen:

"Despite the man seen at these doors, my childhood home was bland like yours. But I knew how to look to find, a world that wasn't colorblind."

Beautiful. Just beautiful. And sure he's not quite as deranged as most other Wonkas but it's a prequel. That's the point. He hasn't reached his final form yet. This story shows that at heart he is an unorthodox but sweet person who doesn't want to hurt anyone for no good reason. This one's a good bean.

Noodle makes for good thematic balance in her friendship with Willy, because she is the minder to his cloudcuckoolander. Her skepticism and realism balances out his optimism and naivety. They are good friends. No more, no less. They don't need to be anything else. By the end of the film, they have left a substantial impact on each other. Noodle isn't such a downer anymore, and Wonka will think twice before blindly trusting someone.

Willy's fellow tenants, whom for simplicity's sake I'll call the Scrub-mates, each have their own talents, quirks and goals unachieved just like him, but unlike him they all have little to no hope left. As they help Willy and Noodle, who haven't completely given up, they are able to bring that sense of hope back until they are able to get what they want as well.

Mrs. Scrubbit and Mr. Bleacher are a riot. They are both goofy and greedy and willing to trick anyone who comes into their clutches into indentured servitude just for the sake of their own selfish desires. I can just hear these two singing Master of the House. They are a small-scale example of the kind of rigged system that Willy and Noodle and the Scrub-mates must outsmart if they want to achieve their dreams. Fortunately, outsmart it they do and Scrubbit and Bleacher both get their just desserts in the end. However, despite their arguments, it was surprisingly touching to watch them grow closer together over the course of the film, culminating in only the grossest of pre-arrest kisses. What are the chances these two turn out to be the Twits?

Ficklegruber, Prodnose and Slugworth are also great villains. They are the cheesiest flavor of evil and they know it. This trio made me laugh so many times. They provide the big-scale rigged system in the form of the chocolate cartel. It's clear from the moment they show up that they are only in it for the profits, and are firm believers in quantity over quality, as opposed to Wonka who is genuinely passionate about the art of candy-making. Fantastic funny foils for much of the film.

That is until the twist regarding Noodle. A twist I genuinely didn't expect.

So Arthur Slugworth stopped Noodle's parents from getting married because yadda-yadda upper class balderdash, and then afterwards he knew this little sick infant was his niece, and he dropped her down the laundry chute of Scrubbit and Bleacher's and lied to her mother, telling her her baby DIED, all just to get the inheritance. Wow. What a scumbag. It shows just how consumed by greed the man is, as well as how much harm he's willing to cause for his own gain. He and the other two get their comeuppance in the best possible way. Willy uses their greed against them, tempting them with the best chocolate he ever made™, he tells them to give it to Lofty the Oompa-loompa, they eat it themselves and it backfires on them. Wonkish karma at its finest. The trio end up undone by their own chocolate and are eventually arrested. Good riddance. Although there is a chance they could come back with spies and such...

The idea of the local church being a front for the chocolate cartel is very unsubtle in terms of showing hypocrisy but I don't mind it a bit. It's funny. The choco-holic monks chant-singing "GIRAFFE!", and Rowan Atkinson as their boss- I mean, cleric!? Just plain funny!

Lofty the Oompa-loompa is 25 inches of snark and smugness, and I mean that in the best way. I never thought I'd hear Hugh Grant singing Oompa-loompa doo-pa-dee-do, but every day we learn something new. Not only that, but Oompa-loompa doo-pa-dee-dix, the dreaded backstory has also been fixed! Lofty/shorty-pants has been stealing Wonka's chocolate because he fell asleep while "guarding" one of the few cacao trees in Loompaland, and Wonka picked that tree's beans, unaware that they belonged to someone else. Neither of them do anything to the other out of malice in that flashback. Just a nap and a misunderstanding. We also see that the other Oompa-loompas are dressed in their own style of clothing and are carrying halberds, and Lofty left Loompaland in a motorboat. Their society is clearly not tribal anymore. Good move. Lofty and Wonka gradually stop being enemies, Wonka pays him the chocolate he owes, Lofty saves his life and Noodle's, and at the end he stays on as Wonka's taster, meaning most likely one the spy problem happened he told the others about this friend of his who can grow a TON of cacao trees and they willingly wanted to come over and get in on it. In their position, who could blame them? I know I wouldn't!

Most importantly this movie is FUN! That was one of the most important things and they nailed it! If it's not fun, why bother? And oh boy, did they bother!

I'm glad the zoo-keeper and the chocolate vault security guard rekindled their relationship. Best subplot ever.

Noodle got the happily ever after she deserves. She has finally found her long lost mother and is able to bring her dream of living in a house of books, a library, to life.

Willy wasn't given his success on a silver platter, he had to earn every sovereign of it, work smarter as well as harder, risk life and limb for what he wanted to achieve. It took time, effort and two assassination attempts, but when he was finally able to say goodbye to his mother and saw the secret she left for him, in gold no less, it moved me to tears. All this man really wanted was to use his talent to help people who needed help and bring joy into the world. Good for him!

Wonka is a win. This is a wonderful whimsical movie. I loved it and I hope any dedicated Wonkites in search of a delectable December treat will love it too.

You're off your rocker Wonka, and that's why we love you. 😁

Bryn shoots her brother a dry look, half of her coated in blood. Something most unusual for the brunette. but they both know the blood isn't hers. Still, she makes a point of dragging the blood further throughout the room just to annoy him, reaching for the crystal decanter as she pours herself a glass of scotch. " I appreciate the concern. " she snorts, lifting the glass to her lips. As much as Bryn claimed moral outrage at the deaths her family caused, she wasn't beyond it. Wasn't beyond snapping a neck because someone pushed one too many buttons, wasn't beyond ripping a heart out of a chest or a throat out if it meant getting her way. She's not this messy from feeding. Never. She'd never been a messy feeder, never one who takes an unnecessary amount. If anything, Bryn restricted herself greatly, but that didn't mean she wasn't capable of just as much damage as her siblings if you pushed her the right way.

She carefully perches on the arm of the sofa, arms leaning over the back, smearing the blood on the white surface. Why should she care? She wasn't footing the cleaning bill. Of-course, she wasn't particularly fond of being covered in blood, Bryn was usually a very tidy person ( apart from when she's had far too much to drink. . . she's a sloppy drunk. ) but Elijah had chosen the right day to push her buttons, so of-course she's going to do the opposite of what he suggests. " You don't always have to be such a neat freak. " she grumbles, " Lighten up, live a little. " she gestures vaguely, hues rolling. '

Rick Riordan Just Tweeted the Finalized Main Cast of the Disney Series: Percy Jackson and the Olympians...

This is Annabeth Chase

Her name is Leah Sava Jeffries. I know it’s too much to expect fandom to not be bigoted assholes to this talented young actor given the Hunger Games shenanigans w/ Rue who was black even in the original text, so I’m just giving a heads up that she is *clearly* author-approved, since he joyrfully tweeted out the finalized cast roster... She is a minor, she got the part through a colorblind casting process, meaning the best actress got the part.  Adjust your goggles accordingly, and conrgrats to her.

#don't know much about percy fandom except that it's pretty big and popular #and fandoms.... yeesh #are always fucking racist #and chock full of misogynoir #she's a person #she's a child #she's author approved #please either don't be dicks #or marginalize the hell out of those who will insist on being dicks #percy jackson and the olympians #pjato #she also has an upcoming part portraying idris elba's character's daughter #leah sava jeffries #annabeth chase

She saw the back of his head as soon as she opened the coffee shop door. A quiet growl rumbled in her throat because she wanted to jab her foot into the back of his knees. But, she was going to do what she told Harley she would do. Blank Zak Eklund’s existence.  That was the plan but now Aiyla was already walking closer to him, and bypassing him entirely to sneak into his spot infront. She glared at him from over her shoulder and then gestured to his tall frame. “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize this spot was taken by a ghost.” she snarked with a bratty tone and her head held high.

Peter : Looks like a cinnamon roll, is a cinnamon roll

Harley : Looks like a cinnamon roll, could kill you

Tony : Looks like he could kill you, is a cinnamon roll (in a way)

Pepper : Looks like she could kill you, could kill you

Morgan : All of them. Somehow. Just. Is. Okay? I know she is a child.

Maybe I’ll give Gyutaro a redemption arc along with Daki. They’re the most likable Upper Moons and they deserve a nother chance. Get Tengen to take them in it would be so cute as well. Cuz Gyu is not even the same age as Tengen he is young and can’t believe people ship him with Tengen like no, I won’t go to that way. Daki is 13 and could use a father figure.

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE #this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t #but they don’t know they weren’t #so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime? #you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you #you can hear the therapy bill racking up #annabeth chase #Percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #mine #adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works #love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows #whereas how Annabeth says it #in my opinion at least #she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it #like with her mother #she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her #vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter #that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns #more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships
