Current Events > Willy Wonka should have switched the cowboy boy and the spoiled rotten girl

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like in the order of when they were eliminated from the movie. It feels like the spoiled rotten girl falling makes more sense as the climax or the finale in terms of the bad kids having karma come back at them. She clearly was the worst of the bunch, and feels like the anti-Charlie, and it would make sense that someone like her could get so close to making it to the end only for karma to finally take her down. A good reflection on society how bad people can still make it so far in life (and sometimes karma never comes for them).

It's the only thing that bothers me, after she falls, the movie starts to feel slower until the final moments of the movie. While the scene with the mini candy bar is cool, it feels like it should have been before the golden egg scene. Her song is the villain song and her fall is the defeat of the antagonist. It wouldn't be too much work, just edit out the cowboy boy and his parents from the golden egg scene and edit in the spoiled girl and her parents in the lab scene.

The cowboy kid just isn't as big when he is finally gone, like it's an "eh, whatever."
