Ah, but accepting a tried-and-true genre convention isn't an edgy hot take with a chance of going viral and giving whoever came up with it their five minutes of fandom fame.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think that's the point of calling Grandpa Joe a scumbag, considering he's supposed to be Charlie's outsider influence regarding loss of innocence and growing up, but okay, anon.

[(Anonymous)]

Tell me you don’t understand Roald Dahl’s works without telling me you don’t understand Roald Dahl’s works.

[(Anonymous)]

But OP, everyone knows Grandpa Joe is a secret cokehead!

Confession

[(Anonymous)]

For various family reasons, I embrace the "Grandpa Joe is a scumbag" argument.

[greghousesgf]

I still say that's not the problem. The problem is he talked Charlie into stealing fizzy lifting drinks and Wonka had a right to be pissed off about it.

[(Anonymous)]

+1 Came here to say this. Grandpa Joe is a scumbag, but not for staying in bed.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, but the narrative k8nda recognises that when Charlie gives the gobstopper back. He isn't on his Grandpa's side in indignation.

[(Anonymous)]

That part isn't in the book, so it really doesn't exist.

[greghousesgf]

one reason I liked the book better

[(Anonymous)]

That sounds really snobby, nonny.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes it's a musical. A musical where one of the characters is a scumbag. He's a scumbag later in the movie in a plot relevant way. It's like foreshadowing or something.

[(Anonymous)]

Honest to God, the number of people I encounter online who don't know ANY of the conventions of children's literature astounds me. I always wonder whether they only began to read at twenty and are trying to catch up, but have to keep stopping to be outraged.

[(Anonymous)]

Completely agree with you.

It’s a stupid “edgy” take that doesn’t add to anything interesting to the story. (And isn’t any kind of fucking forshadowing for his later actions)

I don't think Grandpa Joe is a scumbag, but I wish Charlie had taken his mum with him. She probably needs a break.
