if the netflix CATCF desaturates willy wonkas personality (the way that every film did) and does NOT translate the utter delight that was his book self into animation ... im gonna have to put my foot down

Crying shame that Gene Wilder passed before they could adapt the sequel where they go to a space station and just fight a bunch of xenomorphs

You know with the new wonka film out it makes me wonder when are they going to make a film about the great glass elevator
It’s the sequel to Charlie and the chocolate factory and yet with two films of the original and now a film prequel we are still not going to acknowledge the great glass elevator I loved it when I was a kid

It is the small goals sometimes.. but I managed to read a book for the first time in years, Yeah a childrens book it may have been but it was fun.
And who does not like a good Roald Dahl book? I managed to get my hands on Charlie and the great glass elevator at a secondhand earlier this week. I have not read it and decided it was time to learn something new. :)
Bonus art!

From what I remember Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator was basically an episode of Doctor Who??
The Great Glass Elevator (which I am hereforth referring to as the GGG because I refuse to type that out every single time) was basically a see-through TARDIS. It had loads of buttons all over the walls, some of which made it go different directions/speeds, and some of which changed conditions inside (turned gravity on/off, etc.). I cannot remember whether or not it was bigger on the inside because I read this when I was eleven.
In the beginning they travel in time because, long story short, Charlie’s Grandma Georgina takes too many youth pills and ages herself back to before she was born. They have to travel in time to get her back from being ‘a minus’ before she disappears. They end up in a smoky, dark place full of monsters from which they have to rescue her and take her to the real world.
There is a hotel in a space ship for very rich people (Voyage of the Damned: Christmas special 2007, End of the World: S1 E2) that Willy Wonka visits with Charlie & fam later on that’s really nice yet FULL of these aliens called Vermicious Knids that look like giant, flesh-covered eggs balanced on the pointy end (which feels very much like an RTD-era monster if you ask me).
Willy Wonka is similar to the Doctor, with his crazy inventions and unbelievable genius. He fights the Vermicious Knids when they try to get inside the GGG to kill them. He basically adopts Charlie (as the Doctor does with companions), and helps the rest of his family to lift themselves out of poverty.
He is friends with ‘aliens’ (the Oompa-Loompas) and gets along just fine with all manner of creatures, travels extensively, and nobody knows exactly how old he is (remember, kids: in the book he is not a youthful Johnny Depp but a sprightly old man!). There is nobody quite like him. He dresses strangely and is generally agreed to be eccentric yet sweet, however he has a dark and dangerous side which can emerge. He doesn’t have very good social skills, but he largely gets along with the people of the town.
Anyway this is a very long post about a book I hardly remember, but all this to say: I want RTD to get Timothée Chalamet’s Willy Wonka into s15 so I can see him be devoured by a ginormous, carnivorous flesh-egg.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
