Wilder's Wonka As A Father:

Ever since I've seen MediaMementos' video on Burton's Wonka, I'm stil contemplative on what Mementos said-that Wonka would make a terrible dad. Ironically, I learned from Jon Solo that Wonka was supposed to have had a son (whom one source named "Freddie") before Dahl revised the story.

Still, while that could be said for Johnny Depp's Wonka with how immature and mentally scarred he is, what about Gene Wilder's Wonka? Granted, 71's Charlie didn't have a living father so Wonka could filll in that role. But what if Wonka had his own child(ren)? Either prior to the movie where the said offspring(s) died or wanted to pursue their own paths, or Wonka could've met a special someone and had kids sometime after the film.

How would Wilder's Wonka be as a dad? Would he be a decent parent? Better than The Brats' parents? Would Wonka have one or two kids? Or would Wonka be the type to want a big family? Would he support his kids' choices to have different careers? Come to think of it, what if Charlie changes his mind on owning the factory when he grows up? Would it depend on who he's married to? What are your thoughts?
