Look who made a WWATCF as vines video———me!

The sheer lack of WWATCF or CATCF as vines videos is criminal…so, I decided to make one of my own!

(I also used two of the scrapped characters from the book, Miranda and Marvin, and two of the characters who are only in the Jr., musical version of Willy Wonka, James and Matilda)

who would win in a fight, a munchkin or an oompa loompa?

full disclosure I haven't seen the Wizard of Oz 1939 movie but I did read all the books 10+ years ago

I am going to say in a one on one, no holds barred fight to the death I think an Oompa Loompa would win. they have a drive to kill that Munchkins lack when isolated

in a group battle as well, I think Oompa Loompas would win as they seem like better team strategists. I think if the Wicked Witch of the East tried to torment the Oompa Loompas they would drown her in the chocolate river or send attack squirrels after her.

HOWEVER, with all this being said I think in a well monitored one-on-one fight (such as a sparring match where the Oompa Loompas couldn't fight dirty) there's a much higher chance a Munchkin would win.

No matter the scenario or who wins though, the audience would get to hear a little song celebrating their enemy's defeat and I think that's wonderful

I thought that Alice in wonderland was what sparked my absolute hatred for Tim Burton until I remembered when I was 8 and I would throw a fit anytime anyone would choose to play the 2005 charlie and the chocolate factory over the 1971 Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory

Writing Notes: Fictional Characters

The concept of a protagonist comes from Ancient Greek drama, where the term originally meant, “the player of the first part or the chief actor.”

In film today, the protagonist is the character who drives the plot, pursues the main goal of the story, and usually changes or grows over the course of the film.

A protagonist enters the film with a goal and by the end of the film, they either achieved that goal or did not.

The protagonist’s character arch is defined by the pursuit of that goal.

Classic examples of protagonists from film are:

Luke Skywalker, a young moisture farmer who learns to harness his Jedi mind powers.

Cher Horowitz, a clueless valley girl who learns to appreciate the people in her life.

Types of Protagonists

A hero is someone we can all relate to, and his downfall will fill us with pity and fear. The hero is the “good guy”—the type of virtuous protagonist the audience roots for and wants to succeed.

An anti-hero is an unlikely protagonist who does not necessarily have virtuous or villainous qualities but who is able to behave heroically if the opportunity arises.

The villain protagonist is the villain, an undeniable “bad guy,” is also driving the plot as the central character.

Difference Between a Hero and a Protagonist

The hero and the protagonist are often confused, but in fact a hero is a type of protagonist.

All stories must have a protagonist, but not all stories need a hero.

Main Character

Apart from protagonists, films can also have a main character.

The main character is a central character who acts as the audience surrogate—we experience the story through their eyes.

The main character is involved in the story, interacts with the secondary characters, and is personally impacted by the plot’s main conflict.

The main character and the protagonist are often, but not always the same character.

Difference Between a Protagonist and a Main Character

The main character (sometimes called “principal character”) and the protagonist are both two central characters.

But the protagonist drives the plot forward while the main character is impacted by the plot.

Ways a Separate Main Character & Protagonist Move Your Plot

Some reasons to separate the main character and protagonist in your story.

Unrelatable Protagonist: If the audience is not able to relate to the protagonist, the main character can be a more relatable entry-point to the story. In Tim Burton’s adaption of Charlie and the Chocolate factory, Willy Wonka is the protagonist and drives the plot, but he is also misanthropic and too kooky to be relatable for the audience. Charlie, the main character, acts as the audience surrogate.

Point of View. A main character can act as a plot device to reveal greater truths about your protagonist. In The Great Gatsby, for example, we are able to see the protagonist, Jay Gatsby, as a flawed and dishonest man more clearly through the eyes of the main character, Nick Carraway.

Added irony. A separate main character creates irony or a juxtaposition. Atticus—an adult lawyer—is the protagonist of To Kill a Mockingbird, a story about a rape trial with grown-up themes. The story, however, is told through the eyes of the main character, Scout, Atticus’s young daughter. Scout’s innocence reveals the flawed moral values of society and the adults around her.

The Narrator: Main Character or Protagonist?

A narrator is a character who tells the story, in their own voice.

The narrator does not have to meet any of the qualifications to be either a protagonist or the main character, and a film does not have to include a narrator.

In The Princess Bride, the grandfather mainly acts as the narrator and is used as a framing device to tell the story of a poor farmhand to his reluctant grandson.

But the narrator can be the main character, as in the Great Gatsby example. Nick Carraway is the main character and the narrator, but he is not the protagonist.

Survey Results pt. 2

Sorry about the wait, I had a six day work week.

Please Note: Many respondents said they weren't sure of the cause of their fetish, and could only offer suggestions. So again, some of these answers are guesses on the part of participants, and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Also, a couple of these graphs are breakdowns by percentage, these are indicated with a '(%)' next to the title

Reported Causes of Respondents' Fetish (%)

*Most respondents who said their fetish stemmed from encountering a pregnant person were young children at the time, a handful were teens. None were adults. Most pointed to pregnant grade school teachers and family members. Only a few cited complete strangers.

*"always had it" refers to respondents who claimed they had an unusual interest in pregnancy for as long as they could remember. Some of these cases started as a more general interest in large/round bellies that later crystalized into an interest with pregnancy.

*"kink osmosis" refers to those who developed their pregnancy fetish through other similar/connected fetishes.

*"didn't know" refers to those who claimed to not know (obviously) and offered no suggestions or guesses.

*"association of pregnancy with sex" refers mainly to those who first made the connection between pregnancy and sex in their childhood/early teens. Things like the first picture of a naked woman they ever saw being of a pregnant woman, leading them to subconsciously associate pregnancy with sex/sexuality.

*"playing pretend" refers to those who reported developing the fetish after playing pretend (either with dolls or with friends) as young children. NOT TO BE confused with those who claimed they would explore their interest/fetish through play, but didn't actually derive it from said play.

Types of Fetishes Which led to the Development of the Respondent's Pregnancy Fetish

*Many cited just a belly kink without going into further detail

Kink Osmosis (When Developed) Breakdown (%)

*As expected, only a small minority of respondents who cited kink osmosis as the source of their pregnancy fetish reported developing their pregnancy fetish during childhood.

*People who developed their pregnancy kink in adulthood are hugely over-represented in this category.

Types of Media Cited in by Respondents who Blamed Media Exposure (%)

*Many people specifically cited cartoon episodes where characters would get fat/round/inflated.

*Media cited by multiple respondents included Birth Stories 2000-2004 (a Canadian documentary TV series), A Baby Story 1998-2007 (an American reality show that ran on the Discovery Channel and TLC), Birth Day 2000- (an American TV series), The Fairly Oddparents 2001-2017 (specifically the episode where Cosmo gets pregnant), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (which adaptation was never specified), the Aliens franchise, Men in Black II (2002), and The Sims.

Breakdown of Responses by Those who Stated that the Interest in Pregnancy was Always There

Gender of Respondents who Cited Fear as the Cause of their Fetish

Gender of Respondents who Cited Their Gender as the Cause of their Fetish

*Cis men reported their fetish as stemming from a need to prove their masculinity/male identity, cited a lack of confidence in said masculinity

*Trans women often cited gender euphoria associated with fantasies of pregnancy

*most trans men, AFAB NB people, and cis women cited a discomfort or fear regarding their ability to become pregnant, though a few trans men and AFAB NB also claimed that transitioning led to them reclaiming their reproductive abilities.

Types of Experiences Among Those who Cited Personal Experience as the Cause of their Fetish

A FEW NOTES

*two people specifically cited the art of metalforever on DeviantArt as the cause of their fetish

*YouTube was cited by 13 people, specifically birth videos, and in one case, those Elsa Spider-Man content farm videos.

*fanfiction and fanart were also a common source of people's fetishes

*6 people pointed to a parents/close relatives or family friends who were medical professionals who worked regularly with pregnant patients (midwives, nurses, doctors, OBGYNs).

*23 people recounted 'playing pretend' as young children and acting out scenarios involving pregnancy and/or birth.

Tim Burton At The Worldwide Box Office: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Becomes 3rd Highest-Grossing Film With Its $450M Cume!

The studio was reportedly skeptical about the film's box office performance.

Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice recently crossed a major milestone at the worldwide box office, and with that, it has become one of the director’s top 3 highest-grossing films.

A few weeks back, the Michael Keaton starrer became the actor and director’s highest-grossing film in their collaborative career. It surpassed Batman’s $410 million+ global haul, and now it has entered the director’s top 5 biggest films list.

It has achieved an amazing feat and became one of the highest-grossing films in Tim Burton’s career. Let’s check out the celebrated filmmaker’s top 5 highest-grossing films.

Planet of the Apes (2001) – $362.21 million

Batman (1989) – $411.56 million

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) – $450.67 million

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) – $474.96 million

Alice in Wonderland (2010) – $1.02 billion

It was released on September 6 and is also available as PVOD on digital platforms.

And it's still going! Incredible!

There's no reason why Burton shouldn't make a third and final film with this level of success.

Veruca: It might’ve been thoughtless of us to bake a Death Star cake. Violet: No, it combines two of Mike’s favorite things, chocolate chips and the ability to destroy a planet at the push of a button. Veruca: Well, anyway, it’ll be a nice surprise for the boys. And Auggie doesn’t think I take his interests seriously, so hopefully this will keep him fooled for a while. Violet: Okay, let’s get the fondant and start decorating. Veruca: This is pretty cool. You don’t see too many spherical cakes. (The cake rolls off the table and lands on the floor with a SPLAT.) Violet: I wonder why that is. (Later) Violet: Hey, guys! Veruca: Happy Star Wars Day! Mike: Wow, a Death Star cake! Violet: Yeah. We were hoping it might cheer you up. Veruca: And even though it meant we had to miss the movies, we could still be part of the fun. Augustus: Vell, you didn’t miss anyzing. Ve just started ofer. Veruca: Son of a gun!

Wonka, to the rotten kids: You're not completely useless, you can be used as a bad example.

[reesiereads]

The fact the children are the ones who are punished in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has never made sense to me. Like isn’t the whole point that the parents are the ones at fault for the children’s behavioral issues and struggles? Every fucking song describes how the parents caused the problem.

The Gloops never taught Augustus self-control. The Beauregardes pushed and pushed on Violet to be the best to the point she valued being number one over her own safety. The Salts spoil Veruca to hell and back to the point she doesn’t understand the world doesn’t revolve around her. The Teavees neglect Mike and allowed him to essentially be raised on television and the internet, leading to him growing up too fast and not developing any social skills.

Like, don’t get me wrong, the children aren’t entirely exempt from their own actions, but I was under the impression catcf was supposed to be a cautionary tale? Like “raise your children properly as they will become a result of what you allow.”

I guess you could argue punishing the kids is meant to shock the adults into change since they’re being forced to face the absolute worst sides of their own children, which they created. However this, to me anyway, doesn’t work with all of Wonka’s vindictiveness? If Wonka agrees the children’s behaviors aren’t their fault then why would he punish them? It doesn’t seem fair?

Because traumatizing/killing children for their bad behavior literally does nothing to help them because, as the source material is literally trying to say, their behavior is stimming from their parents poor parenting. So why isn’t it that the parents are punished and forced to change so that the children may then change under better parenting?

Not only that but the things Wonka punishes the children for are sorta arbitrary, particularly in Augustus’ case. You’re telling me Augustus deserves to fucking drown because he happens to eat a lot and is fat? By this logic if you told me Wonka decided to kill off Charlie just because he’s poor and spent that dollar he found on what he wanted instead of his family I wouldn’t even be surprised!

Obviously I’m taking it too seriously, it’s not that deep, but I stand by my stance that the parents should have received the children’s punishments.
