The correct answer is Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, truly a selfish and awful man
The movies did him dirty. He's a pretty good guy in the book.
That and people forgetting the movie trope of absolute joy being a panacea also doing him dirty.
It's a story about a magical chocolate factory staffed by orange skinned green haired dwarf humans, is it really that much harder to believe that an old man suddenly regained the will to live from hearing he had a chance to finally get closure over being kicked out of a career which paid well and that he loved participating in?
True and fair, question was movies though, and he does suck in at least the Gene Wilder one, didn’t really care to see the new ones
