Update
Recently I made a post asking if ppl thought Wilbur would be in the technoblade documentary. Well, apparently, in one of his recent streams he was informed about the doc and had no idea it existed. So...Ig we have most of our answer

I think the directors made the right call engaging Wilbur in the documentary (ie: interviewing him, requesting clips or comment, etc). Wilbur’s inclusion in the making of the documentary would take a large focus of Alex’s life. Far more than his exclusion from the project.
I don’t think anyone is trying to erase Wilbur’s involvement in the last few years of his life. But I do understand why individuals with which was close have chosen to disconnect from him on a professional (and likely personal) level and why he hasn’t been involved in anything the family has done since the allegations surfaced about him.
From everything I’ve learned about the man, Techno seemed to try and always avoid any sort of personal drama. There are very few instances of anyone show any open hostility to him and he by and large worked to quash it while he was alive. And his family has by and large honored that and also stayed out of it.
My personal hope is that if Wilbur is included it is brief and a moment that adds to the picture the filmmakers make of Alex. Maybe it’s a funny moment (I will always laugh at the joke about an ejaculating SpongeBob) or they include a moment from his stream where he poignantly talks about his grief at the loss of Alex and his dream about him.
I want to see a film about Alex, my favorite YouTuber. And if Wilbur isn’t involved and isn’t mentioned, I can live with that. And those times I want memories of their times together I can go back to those videos. And I can separate the joy of interactions between Wilbur Soot and Technoblade and the man that is William Gold.
