I'll take it simply because it didn't upstage the legacy character. At no point did any of the diversity outdo Wonka or upstage him. About the worst thing is that it implied he was a jew due to his super jew looking mother, but even that wasn't established or forced, then, like I said, the female lead being a dei hire definitely hurt some of the acting and songs we could have had. The songs were still really solid, but the girl they hired couldn't hit some of those notes at all and I have no doubt there were actresses who could have that were simply the "wrong look". All in all though, it's a solid modern film. Great music, great choreography, and an upbeat optimistic story with no propaganda or hidden gay crap to try and groom kids.
