Even taking the bottom idea of The Unknown out of the equation, the world, as you’ve most likely ascertained, is unhealthy. It’s a nasty place for unhealthy folks, and unhealthy issues occur in it.
Typically, people prefer to consolation ourselves by considering that we are able to include the unhealthy, the best way that we did in Glasgow in early 2024 when a pop up known as “Willy’s Chocolate Expertise” was swiftly shut down by a confluence of legislation enforcement officers and the sorts of moms who wish to communicate to the supervisor. For the uninitiated, the short-lived occasion grew to become a viral sensation, billing itself as a magical, immersive dive into the world of Roald Dahl’s basic novel, solely to grow to be a sparsely-decorated warehouse populated by slightly-paid actors. Significantly puzzling was the addition of an authentic, candy-based antagonist to the expertise, a shadowy chocolatier known as The Unknown who regarded like a member of Jabbawockeez in the event that they lived in a basement and hunted rats for meals.
However hey. We obtained a deal with on it. The authorities had been contacted, and Willy’s Chocolate Expertise was safely relegated to the previous, the place it may well’t harm anybody ever once more. A rip-off? Positive, however a largely innocent one. Order received the day. The unhealthy was contained.
Besides it wasn’t. In fact it wasn’t. As a result of now The Unknown is getting its personal film. As a result of the world is unhealthy.
‘Willy’s Chocolate Expertise’ isn’t over till we are saying it’s over.
