ROSE: The core appeal of Willy Wonka is that he is a nigh-omnipotent maniac who uses his near-limitless powers over reality to trick shitty people into killing themselves.
JOHN: “wonka” again?
ROSE: Absolutely “Wonka” again. You cannot make him the protagonist of a whimsical coming-of-age tale; you have to treat him like Jason Voorhees, or Dracula, or any other horror icon.
JOHN: not entirely a train of thought i’ve ever had about willy wonka, but i can see what you mean. he’s kind of like the god of the chocolate factory. that’s, like, his realm.
ROSE: Exactly. All the audiences want is for him to be given some new victims, some new interesting kills, and to set him loose.
