I’ll bite. Why doesn’t that freeloader who can suddenly jump up and dance, not deserve so much hate.
I think the hate around grandpa Joe is entirely misdirected...
This 96 year old man (that's his actual age) hasn't been working himself to death every day and people are upset about that? Sure he spent the last 20 years in retirement but also that means he retired at 76!
Most of the hate around Grandpa Joe seems to just be "why can't the poor just work harder and then they won't be poor?" THE MAN WAS 76 WHEN HE RETIRED! LET HIM RETIRE!
Everything he did while in the chocolate factory was fucked tho I can agree with that...
Edit: nvm I thought about it more and I have no issues with him stealing food given how intensely food insecure his home is.
There must be some backstory that I either missed in the movie or isn’t said.
