11 Utterly Ludicrous Fan Theories (That Are Actually Quite Convincing)

10. Willy Wonka Was A Killer

The Theory: Enraged by the deception of his workers and the incessant spying of his competitors, and turned insane by years of self-imposed alienation, Willy Wonka decided to take his vengeance in Angry Deity style by murdering some of the world's children in a fiendishly complex plot of murder. He intended all of the calamities that befall the children in the factory - hence his obvious apathy for their fates, and planned their punishment in a Saw-like skewed morality tale.

Along the way he also decided to indoctrinate an heir to his murderous thrown, carefully choosing a boy grown in a life of abject poverty and misery who he could show the evils of the world to before handing over his responsibilities. Which is why Charlie gets off Scot-free.

The Proof: How else did the Oompa-Loompas have pre-prepared and heavily choreographed song and dance routines including the names of the victims? It was all carefully planned.
