Also "the elder" is now Wonka canon.


Or is he saying "the unknown", which the script describes as an evil chocolateer nemesis that lives in the walls?

It's okay if you have any questions.


It's "the unknown" spoken with the local accent.

Candy canes are the worst and have no place in a land of whimsy. They are the poo poo candy from the times before good candy was invented.

He's Wonka's horribly deformed older brother who watches him with a mixture of both jealousy and affection and ultimately saves his life at the cost of his own when there's a fire. That's what the new movie is about.

I have no problems with a good minty stick. But I do agree, most other candy is much much superior.

I still don't get "why"

It has to be an extremely lazy attempt at a tax writeoff or money laundering. The "House of Illuminati" (that loving name, come on) could not have been organizing this in good faith, with the idea that it would somehow be a success

Specifically according to the actor playing Willy Wonka, he's called "the Unknown" because nobody knows his name. Deep lore-building.

Struggling to decide whether the name "Willy's Chocolate Experience", "Willy McDuff and the Wonkidoodles", or "The Unknown, a magical chocolate maker who lives in the walls and doesn't want kids to clean their rooms" is funnier. It's a tough race.

I love how the script has audience responses for like every line. Did they pass them out to the audience as well? Were they also expected to memorize it in 12 hours so they knew how and when to respond?

She probably thought she was gonna clean up on tips when her boss at the event staffing agency asked if she wanted to bartend at the Wonkaland event.

Edit: nvm, it was worse than that for her. I got to the interview.
