DO THE SHOW DEAD TO ME ON NETFLIX
Pls do indian movie rrr
the monster is HILARIOUS it literally looks like a boss in Plants vs. Zombies 💀
Tim Burton is best when he's allowed to be his full creepy, campy, funny self
So true
I’m not gonna lie, I got live action ryuk vibes from the monster
@@psychicgibbons3354 do not disrespect ryuk like that 🗿
It's too cartoony to be real, but too realistic to be a cartoon. Truth is, it's ugly not scary. Or it's scary how ugly it is
I still don’t understand how a sarcastic goth girl with occasional visions managed to be the weirdest student at a school that’s literally populated by mermaids and werewolves
Because the sirens are werewolves are literally just regular cringey teens with some extra body hair and contacts.
Wednesday may not be a monster but she has always been socially awkward and into freakier things.
@John Doe I think Wednesday may be autistic. Austistic people tend to lack empathy and don’t understand social cues just like Wednesday
@John Doe I think Wednesday is a shinigami and a witch
she's autistic that's why /s
Right! And why is she so upset that her dad was a murderer, she literally says it would be terrible that she has ATEMPTED murder on her record, because people would know she didn't get the job done...
if tyler's personality was an ice-cream flavour, it would be wet cardboard.
Then you dig in it and there’s a piece fucking glass in it
@@mranima748 i cant stop reading both of your replys and laughing
Tbh he had more personality when he was revealed to be the villain
Eugene Def was my fav tbh.
@@genderfluidlygay7146 how could you forget Eugene’s name smh
tyler's "how does it feel to lose?" was so cool. I'm really a sucker for those types of villains who act all innocent and then reveal their sinister plans with a subtle change in expression.
I do too and it somehow felt like Hans from Frozen (but better executed), which i never understood why people thought it made no sense, because Hans and Tyler both seemed the innocent and trustworthy guy until they revealed their true intentions right at the end.
@@SilvX610 lol we should saw it coming
@@SoldierSpiderxell after a rewatch some frames and what's being said at the moment kind of foreshadows it. Tim Burton's genius directing
@@avenged7peep958 agree and can't wait for season 2
*SPOILER ALERT*
The scene in the 3rd episode where she gets “kidnapped” by the cult and just started roasting tf outta them and leaving was lowkey the funniest scene to me
i loved that because she wasn't mad at being kidnapped but by the fact that she was kidnapped by a bunch of dumbass rich kids
@@IsaiahDeas it was funny too because of that and it was fun turn on making a big cult reveal to be just downplayed by her
They gave kidnappers a bad name
The "Can yOu bElIEvE iT?"💀💀 i was fucking dead
"It's people like you that give kidnappers a bad name."
When Enid says “stoners” she’s referring to gorgons because their snakes turn people to stone.
I think everyone got it but it is still quite funny that they were called "stoners" because of what we associate stoners with
It's a joke. Also, the main "stoner" guy dresses and talks like the stoners we have that are into drugs.
@@Chai_and_cats I didn't get it as first, until the guy stoned himself i didn't realise. I thought they were the psychics for a solid few episodes
it took me my second time watching to catch that joke
@@crissp5333 Fr, I first thought they were literally stones and just got high
I gotta say I cried when Wednesday and Enid hugged. It was such a great build up to such an emotional payoff. I really loved this series
My favorite part of this show is how they made Gwendolyn Christie look like a queen. I mean they didn't try to make her look smaller, they accentuated her height. They made her look like the beautiful goddess she is. The camera loved her.
She said it was the first time she felt beautiful onscreen 😭 let my girl be a feminine beautiful amazonian, tall does not equal masculine
Netflix could not be more spot on casting Jenna Ortega as Wednesday, they nailed it
perfect combination of christina ricci and aubrey plaza
@@giselakrenn2646 false Christina the Og didn’t have a disgusting bratz doll fat lips unlike Ortega ☠️
also the actor for bianca is named JOY SUNDAY
Yeah absolutely aubrey plaza would have slayed the role too tho
Tim burton personally went to her and asked her to take the role
Jenna Ortega going from playing a perky, happy princess to emo goth girl but not in a cringe way is just proof she is beyond talented
When/where did she play a princess?
@@caitlingill she vocics one in Ella of Avalor
and the middle child of a gigantic family
@@ibumbleby9695 It’s actually Elena of Avalor not Ella of Avalor.
She was rly cringe tbh
Honestly the actress does a good job in the show just wish they would hire better writers 😅
They made her an executional producer for season 2. Hope that‘s gonna help
Yea Jenna’s gonna slay that
Jenna gonna ✨s l a y✨
Wednesday’s reaction to Legally Blonde was so cute.
I like how the character will go out of their way to try and be friends with Wednesday and they get all surprised when they realise she's not a very good friend.
Check out Wednesday edit on my channel, you won't regret it!
I would like but it has 666 likes
Yeah but she never told them
@@CamelGorilla233 never told them she was a bad friend? Bro 💀
@@CamelGorilla233 she ALWAYS told how clearly she doesn't like anyone
I don’t get why Wednesday was soo bothered by her Dad being a “murderer” when she constantly tries to kill someone
yeah like isn't murdering a hobby for them lmao
I know right? The show's trying to be one thing but also another thing. It's a fun show but it has identity crisis.
I think it mostly has to do with the fact that she didn't know. She didn't have her father capable of murder and if he indeed murdered someone, she expected him to have told her long time ago. But the fact that he hides it and all, it doesn't stick with her
@@jots2493 exactly, i mean it was hinted at that uncle fester went to jail for "eating girl scouts for breakfast" and when she runs into him it's one of the few if not only times she actually smiles, so if she's alright with him doing that then I really don't see why she'd have a problem with her father killing someone
The issue wasn't the murder, it was them shipping her to this school with all that unexplained baggage to deal with.
For me, anyways, I think that Enid carried the show. She's just such a fun and lovable ray of sassy sunshine, and watching her grow into a more capable and self-assured person was just so nice to see.
My biggest complaint is that Wednesday is basically a Marry Sue. She's super smart, knows everything, from languages, fixing things, dancing, fighting, sword fighting, music, history,... She cannot be defeated and has no weaknesses.
It's like playing a video game on tutorial mode. All enemies are pointless, you're just trying to solve all the puzzles.
Well she was kinda defeated by tyler in the end
I would've agreed but she got the wrong guy arrested so....
I believe her weakness was always that she basically shows no emotions towards those who care for her and that put her at risk of losing them and being left alone like when thing got stabbed and she cried for the first time because he was in danger when she left him alone and when enid left their room
She has clear weaknesses that demote her from the Mary Sue title. She's socially inept, lacks empathy, and is too confident in her often wrong deduction. She's also reckless and has many moments of vulnerability.
Also, when the main character needs other characters' favors in like every other episode, it's a pretty good indicator she's not a Mary Sue since she can't do everything herself.
@@Vario65bit she also got the wrong person arrested. So they have no idea what they're talking about
The thing that surprised me is that Jenna said Wednesday doesn’t blink and it’s so true
Amazing vid! I was especially surprised when they tried to kill her!
@@Creative_edge001 that spoiled it for me
I also noticed that she didn't blink
IKR
@@Runi_fn so sorry
Jenna actually slayed the role of Wednesday, and she's come a long way since her Disney Channel days. Her star is definitely on the rise!
YES
My dad told me that the original Wednesday played the orange haired lady
@@Runi_fn yup she did!! :D
Hahaha i love your profile picture 😂
i trust your opinion of Wednesday now
Jenna Ortega has truly become a mega star after leaving Disney Channel.
You are hilarious
10:37
When he started laughing uncontrollably at the Hyde I legitimately started laughing so hard 😂😂😂
She actually never blinked over the whole show!
She actualy did blink when shes caught off guard or nervous :) not much tho
Wow, that's dedication!
@@jimskio_ she did blink I didn't notice that thank you ☺
She did blink but not often
IKRRRR
Everyone who tries to be friends with Wednesday always got mad at her for “being emotionless and not a good friend, and leading them on” when Wednesday clearly stated she doesn’t like ANYONE
exactlyyy
And when Tyler was like, you've been giving me all these signs... And Wednesday is the LEAST emotionally expressive person ever😂
No Wednesday was kinda a bitch
@@lana4127 yea no shit but she literally told them that, and they still acted surprised
@@JessJ_698 Hm I think she told them she was more cold and when Enid stormed off the first time and sat in the corner you could tell she didn't mean to come off as a terrible person she isn't a bad person ( visiting Ottinger in hospital, making sure the others don't get in trouble) but she got too in her head with the mystery dismissing everyone
Agreed, Jenna Ortega really did carry the show, she did amazing at her role and put so much effort in to understanding it, which is why Wednesday is forever gonna be everyone’s favourite
Everyone’s favorite except mine.
I couldn't agree more. I watched the first episode with my daughter (36, so she grew up loving Christina Ricci's version of Wednesday). Later, I finished watching the series, including Jenna's crazy dance moves! I told my daughter she NEEDS to see this! Loved it!
I enjoyed Thing very much. The scene where he buys Wednesday that dress she liked and is told to wait and he's just sitting on the bed swinging his "legs" like an excited schoolgirl is hilarious. Also, his friendship with Enid is adorable. When she finds out about the secret society and they do their little finger click initiation and Enid's like "bro, wot" after Thing joins in
Thing is the best thing about the show.
Sad he got stabbed
@@scenic_lover absolutely
Are we sure Thing is a guy?
Thing was my favorite character.
I really disliked the love triangle - the fact that Wednesday was slapped between two wonderbread boys with no personality was so forced. Literally within the first episode both boys were drooling over her and they hadn't even had a meaningful conversation yet. I don't understand why the creators were trying to force Wednesday into the conventional YA main character role when her defining feature is that she does not conform to those expectations. Honestly she had more chemistry with Bianca than anyone else, even that path would be a stretch.
I think that's the point of it. She clearly had ZERO interests in them, and how little she cared and how dense she can be with regards to romance.
My bestie and I said the exact same thing about the love triangle and Bianca!!!
So true. I don't even see any chemistry with Enid as some people do. Bianca would be the only choice of romantic interest I'd kinda care about, and still that doesn't mean much 🤷
I had no idea why either guy seemed interested in her.
I was constantly thinking she was aroace or at least just not interested in anything romance-related. Hell, she's 15, there are so many girls that don't bother with this stuff until they're way into their 20s. Also, just me, or did the guys look completely the same. I was really struggling keeping them apart at times haha
5:03 why is that the most relatable thing lol 😂
I've seen so many people being disappointed with the show but I genuinely enjoyed it so much 😭
it was so good!!! I don’t get how ppl were disappointed
Alex dying of laughter over the badly CGI’ed monster thing is just hilarious
I know!! His laughter made me giggle even harder!! 😆 🤣 😂
I lost it when he mentioned the dude from the honeycomb commercials!
For me it's not so much the CGI but the character design
It's not so much bad CGI as very odd creative choices.
that was me tbh.. like this monster thing looked hilarious
Jenna Ortega nailed it as Wednesday Addams. The lines, the mannerisms, choreograph that dance scene.
The dialogue was actually half and half some shit was so cringe I wanted to light my whole tv on fire, other line I just went "Meh." And moved on.
yeah and before the show even aired people were talking crap about how she wont make a good wednesday
@@Maryisfeelingwellwtfismary well she can’t control the dialogue. She was given a script lmao
@@millicentgordon5427 really? When I heard I thought she would be perfect
@@Maryisfeelingwellwtfismary i thought i was the only one dying from cringe, i had to check the age rating 2 times.
The monster really said “my precious”
Jena elevates it. I knew she would be great before I watched it when I read she took cello and fencing lessons on her own dime to better get into the character and be more believable. That is like much much older award winning level actor/ actress dedication to the craft.
“This school is full of weirdo social outcasts, how is Wednesday the only weird goth?”
THANK you! The Addams Family works best when they’re just in a white bread suburb and they freak people out by being themselves. Putting Wednesday in a monster high school kind of puts her character in a box because she’s not special when she’s in school with a werewolf
I mean she’s still weird. Werewolves are just normal people who get furry every so often
nathW00 - I'd disagree. In the show it's very clear that even amongst outcasts like vampires, werewolves ect. Wednesday and the other Addams's are still weird. You see it in the parents day episode which shows that all the other parents while being outcasts are all pretty normal people. Enid is a prime example of this in that she might be a werewolf but she's still a pretty normal teenage girl and Wednesday still freaks her out on multiple occasions.
Yeah you’re right, actually. I guess I got hung up on the Addams Family normally being the only supernatural/spooky element in their stories, so the werewolves and vampire stuff struck me as odd - but yeah it doesn’t actually change all that much with Wednesday herself :)
Someone was trying to be funny with that "white bread🤓"
She is
She proved so In the show THESE BITCHES ARE LIKE HUMAN WITH POWERS WEDNESDAY THINKS OUTSIDE THE BOX THEY DONT
Still can’t believe that Jenna made the dance when Wednesday was at the Rave’N herself, it’s literally amazing
The dance was so iconic I loved it
Fr I'm waiting for the tiktok trend to start happening
@@blackwhispernine919 it already has
@@blackwhispernine919 it started as soon as the show dropped!!!!
@@__unknown___ really?! Damn I don’t have TikTok since it’s banned in China… hopefully CZcams has them
"Tim Burton ... who's best known for getting all the credit for Henry Sellick's hard work" thank you for that, for that I love you
Danny Elfman's hard work actually. Selick's just a camera monkey, he didn't come up with the original story concept (that was Tim), write an entire operetta including the libretto based on that poem (that was Danny) or even the script that was based on that libretto (that was Danny's girlfriend Caroline Thompson).
I got to binge the whole season in one night cause insomnia is a jerk, and I absolutely loved it. Only thing was that like....she outright told her friends "I hate everything and everyone will die. I will die alone, i have no true friends and never will" and everyone is like "lol Wednesday your so cray cray"
Then when she's, ya know. Not concerned about danger, doesn't show respect to them and has the same attitude towards them, they're like "what the hell Wednesday, why aren't you treating us nicely, you almost killed us!"
And she's there like "...........have you met me? I literally spelled it out to you right away...."
I'm glad someone else finds the Hyde creature funny looking too. The scene where it pops out behind those burned walls was the scariest they could make it it look.
It reminded me of the zombies from Plants vs Zombies lol
@@justsomeperson9428 holy shit I knew I recognized it from somewhere
Gollum
Tim Burton has always blurred horror with humor. The monster reminded me of Beetlejuice's (the movie) whole vibe. He talks about blending horror and humor as a way of taking the sting out of death and the unknown. I think Tim's at his best when he is allowed to be campy, weird, funny, and scary all at once
@@justsomeperson9428 THINKING THE SAME BRO-
Can we just address Wednesday was terrible to both Tyler and Xavier and they both thought she was obsessed with them. I love the show, I've rewatched it already 😂
@@jewelcastle8736 actually she knew they were attracted for her but she ignored and kept treating them like nothing, and we can see that when she says to Xavier that, for some reason, he seems to like her as he answers there's nothing to like
I Never understood why they thought she was obsessed with them when her expressions are basically 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐.
The storyline of the show could've been way better tbh
Xavier seems to like her since childhood. They briefly mentioned she saved him when they were both 10 year old so that might have something to do with it. I don't think he saw her as obsessed with him. It looked like he couldn't let go of his childhood crush. For Tyler, it's probably planned so there is a reason why he was acting like that (if you seen all of season 1, you know what I mean)
Anyway, I'm hoping 2nd season will be better. Some of the writing of season 1 feels like a wattpad writer. So crossing my finger that season 2 will be better.
@Jewel Castle I feel the same way! The plot was mid. It was a good show generally, hopefully season 2 gets a better plot
Bro 2:25 got me I was not expecting a yoda voice
I’ve been watching Jenna In Movies and Shows for years now, And it’s so great that she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves she’s such an Amazing Person and Actress, her future is very bright and I can’t wait to see what she does next :)
I love that Jenna is getting all this support after the show came out, she so deserves it, always been an amazing actress
Nah
Especially how so many trolls and reactionaires were trying to crap on the show before it was even out. As usual now that it is legitimately popular they slunk away.
@@oomshaka6683 shut up
@@gwell2118 Popular with 12 to 16 year olds. The target audience.
@@ridiculouslycoolguy Nope, its actually doing good among most demographics.
that opening monologue from Wednesday kinda reminded me of Greg’s “honestly I think middle school is the dumbest idea ever invented”
it kinda is tho...
Lets not forget the whole Warewolf drop kicks Hyde scene I mean I was like "You have sharp claws and teeth and your first instinct is a drop kick" wtf🤣🤣
i watched the first half of this in vr, and even skipped the advertisement for raid shadow legends in vr too!
It’s so crazy how she only blinked when she had emotions and I never noticed until Jenna said something about it. Also can you do best friends whenever please
He needs to do best friends whenever. I have a younger sister who found it on disney channel and watched the first couple episodes, and I'm not sure if it's intentional but I'm pretty sure that RV was almost the exact same as the one from breaking bad
Edit: also after some quick googling the kid who owns the RV had the last name "Eisenberg." I refuse to believe it's a coincidence
Agree
Omg i used to LOVE that show i was so sad they took it off Netflix
@@buckethead60 that show should’ve been one season - it was so good for one season
Second season was so bad no wonder it got canceled
Bro I fricking loved best friends whenever 😭
We all love that little hand, its not a quarter of a character but there is so much emotion in that boy
They definitely did a good job with Thing, that hand alone had more personality than Tyler and Xavier combined lol
@@RoyaltoonzHD istg😭
is it a boy tho?
@@veras5087 does it really matter
@@delirium8172 no
This show would’ve been a hundred times more fun if they held her in regular high school for longer, maybe the entire first episode, and she only goes to Nevermore on the second episode. They set up the whole Addams Family schtick for 40 minutes for both people who never saw the Addams Family and people who are nostalgic about it. We get more Wednesday vs Normies shenanigans. Ditch the whole mommy issues thing cause it doesn’t really make sense...
Then, when she finally comes to Nevermore, there are actually a lot of goth morbid kids and surprisingly makes a bunch of friends. There’s still the other kids but instead of being outcasts in the outcast school, they live more of an unending rivalry. They play deadly pranks on each other all the time. Maybe hold this for a whole episode too.
But…! She’s still roommates with Enid, who is the ACTUAL outcast in the outcast school. Because she’s childish, too bubbly and can’t wolf out. Just like in the show, Wednesday doesn’t like her at first, but gradually warms up to her, especially because she found someone who feels like she used to feel in regular schools. Lonely, dismissed, weird, but never abandoning her true self.
Also, obviously, handle her inconsistencies better. It’s nonsense for her to be so mad about her dad being a possible murder, and work her getting worried about the well-being of the school and the town so it’s more consistent and not just “oh no bad things are gonna happen I have to stop this” after literally wishing death upon all or something along those lines.
So a fun fact about piranhas. They don't do that normally. The whole feeding frenzy thing that only happens during the dry season. When food becomes scarce, they go on a rampage. Trying to get anything, they can because they're starving
Funny enough this whole show could have ended a lot sooner if Wednesday used a recorder for all her interrogations
unfortunately wednesday isn't a slave to technology lmao but hopefully it gets better in season 2
I was thinking the same thing while watching the whole season
She can just use tape recorder or the really really old tape recorder
@@Imtoobusyslayingrn111 she's seen using an audio recorder and at least one episode I can't remember where
@@RaNgErs_Rep she was using one in the morgue
Also Tyler could've kill her like in the 2nd episode
I unironically associate Addams family (Wednesday in particular) w thanksgiving because of Addams family values and Wednesday's iconic speech at the thanksgiving play
Ya my family always watches Addams family values on thanksgiving
110% when he said "it's not a Thanksgiving thing" I immediately was like "excuse you sir Addams Family Values is *the* Thanksgiving movie" 🤣😂
Same
Not to mention the plot of Wednesday fits much better with Thanksgiving.
Same! I think that's honestly what they were going for.
Spoiler:
Was anyone else really sad when Tyler turned out ot be the monster or is it just me
fr he was my favourite characher! (i must admit i liked the twist though, and my sister, who i was watichin it with, predictied it from the beginning)
10:15 Giga chad PvZ zombie.
goofiest part of the show was definitely the Hyde monster design lol
really wished it looked less like a malformed human and more of a real monster
@Shąñnón Júlïêň I’d agree except the monster looked the exact same in the book of monsters or whatever it was called. Seemed to be more of a conscious design decision. Thoughts?
When tyler transformed info the Hyde on screen, his eyes looked so fucking weird and i HAD to laugh
Lmfao true. Looks like a wannabe horror goblin
@@awhopper.6343 it's so damn goofy I couldn't take it seriously
Fun fact the lady with the glasses that greets Wednesday is actually the real actor that played Wednesday.
The pme that plays ms thronhill?
@@nickyporter6925 Yes, her name is Christina Ricci, the one who plays Wednesday in 1991 The Addams Family
yeah I just searched it up! That's so cool!!!
They’re both real actors, she’s just the one that played the original Wednesday
@@johnrey1021 Christina Ricci isn't the original Wednesday, she just plays the one from 1991-1994; the original Addams family show was in 1964
Great summary of the wednesday pilot episode 😄
5:35 bro he does!!!!
Pugsley was almost crying about being tied up and put in a locker, I'm pretty sure that would be pretty tame compared to what he and Wednesday do to each other
It was explained on the show that only Wednesday is allowed to torture him. He only enjoys the torture games when it comes from his sister cuz is kind of their thing. Wednesday said it before dropping the piranhas in the pool and then when they had the family therapy session, pugsley said that he missed Wednesday because of that.
@@theroxanalorente it's a terrible explanation to support a bad show. They just didn't understand the base material and ruined the characters.
I really hate what they did to those two. I can only suspect they have a certain agenda.
@@theroxanalorente That just sounds like Sweet Home Alabama should be playing when they're both on screen.
@@theroxanalorente but that goes against their characters in all other media
i never understood why wednesday was so upset with her father possibly being a murderer when she herself almost killed a swim team?
Yeah, I felt there were quite a few contradictions when it came to her moral values. I mean, I guess you could say that she condones violence when she feels it’s deserved, but even that contradicts with some of her lines and behaviors. Like, we don’t see it much in the show, but it’s established she tortures her brother for fun. It makes her character seem like she’s putting on a facade, like oh I love death and murder and all these terrible things unconditionally, except for when I have to be a likable and not entirely morally bankrupt protagonist.
I think she's was mad because they hide the fact, that he was a murderer, instead of being mad because he was one
@@sebastianmonroy694 i agree but she also went out of her way to prove he wasn’t a murderer because it was so bad for him to be one. no?
@@adadaddada1226 well yeah cuz she didnt want him to stay in jail.
She did not kill them
I was too lazy to watch the show so I just watched this, thank you this was very informative :)
The Hyde is a one to one replica of the zombies from Plants Vs Zombies. Maybe just a bit bigger.
Honestly loved this show. Only predicted like, 30% of the ending, thought I was so smart until the last 25 minutes…
yeah, that endidng was so clichè, but the whole show was fantastic!! i love all the twists and turns!!!
Same but I'm not gonna lie I was kind of upset about who the monster was
I knew it was her but the monsters identity I didn’t get hahaha
SAME LMAO.
I got who the baddies were, but I thought that the monster was unaware of his identity. I didn't expect him to like killing 😲
the way jenna never blinked throughout the whole series shows how dedicated and talented she is

Apparently the monster was designed by Burton himself. Jenna mentions it in one of the behind the scenes featurettes.
0:11 bro what u doin 🤨
The best part of the original show for me was that
1. The addams were a functional and loving family in their own charming way
2. The addams were completely oblivious to the fact that they were weird and just thought everybody else was a bit strange
I get that it was trying to be an original thing, but both these things were kinda just thrown under the bus, for the sake of a dumb teen drama mystery. It kinda removes the charm of what makes the addams family so special to begin with in my opinion.
I really liked Morticia, Fester, thing, Wednesday, Weems, and Enid though, good performances!
Fester wasn't that good of a performance in this. Christopher Lloyd did better.
But this isnt the Adams Family its Wednesday
FR, like the OG show, the family loved and accepted one other, NO questions asked ???? like that was the beauty of the of OG show.
Now Morticia is judgy and mean while Wenseday hates everyone including her family???
@@Flipitmixit Wednesday is apart of the Addams Family
@@phifuru Batman is also a part of the justice league but if I watch a show called batman im not gonna be upset that they didnt dive deeply into the justice league
I found it weird how she suddenly was hating her parents and disrespecting them and not wanting to be like them. I thought the whole point of The Addams Family is that they're weirdos, but actually love and care for each other. I feel like she didn't need that rebellious teenager phase at all and I just felt awful for Gomez and Morticia the whole time lol
Listen, This movie is not connected to the Addams family movie from the 90s . And about disrespecting I’m sure it was implemented on purpose by Tim because it’s the 2022 era in this movie teenagers are grumpy
@@Oop29 that has nothing to do w ONLY the 90s adaptation (it's so funny that ppl seem to think that the 90s version is the orignal😹😹)the addams family was written as a caring and loving family EVEN in the orignal AND in the comics. Them being caring and loving didn't originate from the 90s film.
Have u been around teens
@@DeeDiamond2981 i would have expected wednesday to be " not like other kids " in the aspect of the whole point of their quirkiness as an addam family member. Addams family were supposed to be cynical and sadistic but also at the same time showing unconditional love in a unconventional way. netflix's wednesday is just following the whole edgy tenneager trope and its no different from any teen drama shows we have right now. i literally would have loved it if they sticked with the classics wednesday instead of this always grumpy serious wednesday. not to mention the writing was so bad the only thing keeping up with this whole show is jenna ortega and the hype.
@@uhur-1615 literally like the whole point of the movies were gone and instead replaced it with these monster high supernatural type of shit
Jennifer Ortega truly does a great job in this show. The dance scene was apparently all her, she just showed up on stage and made it up on the spot. While she was sick too.
"Tim Burton, whose best known for getting all the credit for Henry Selick's hard work"
I was in stitches for this line!!
It's really Danny Elfman's hard work though. He wrote an entire operetta based on Tim's poem.
What I don't like about the plot is that Wednesday mistakenly identifies suspects and then only realizes that they're innocent when they're dead or jailed and her prophecy power is only there just to give her a clue about what she is supposed to look for next. I expect her to be as cunning, execute her plan with minimal faults, and rely less on her power. Remember Wednesday from the Addams Family Values when she burned the camp to the ground. She plotted secretly and wait for the opportunity to strike.
the moment she show the picture I though she would say something along the lines of "so I get to burn this entire shithole to the ground? neet!!"
I agree. I was so annoyed when she kept accusing wrong people with out even trying to listen to them. Like, she already missed 2 times and was so confident about the next? It felt like she didn't even stop to think about all possibilities and just went straight to the next guess..Even tho I love this version of Wednesday, there are some major mistakes they made with her character.
Honestly, no, I don't remember that.... but it's been years since I watched the Adams Family movies.
@@drunkduck8073 Exactly! where in the world did she get that confidence that she can solve the case when she's accusing people left and right. The monster was only revealed to her through vision! I think the writers missed the opportunity to showcase Wednesday's cunning nature or they're just poor at writing mystery plots, cause there is no proper or fruitful investigation happened in the story. Every mystery was revealed by sheer luck or her vision and through Goody Addams.
@@costelinha1867 The Addams family values. At the end of the film, it was revealed that she and the other outcast in the camp planned to burn it to the ground.
Started the show because of Wednesday, but fell in love with Enid's pure joy
Yes I instantly fell in love with her
I see a lot of people saying the fact that Wednesday and Morticia dont have the best relationship at the start isn't accurate to the Addam's family because theyre a perfect unit with no problems or family spats etc., but the first film the whole reason Fester was missing was because he and Gomez had an argument over the twins Flora and Fauna, and weren't speaking before Fester left.
I've never heard the complaint about it until now though with this new spin off sorta thing
The musical interlude gives me life xD
The comment you made about Tyler having the personality as Eddy of Plank and has the same range of emotions throughout the show is so spot on. Him being so one-dimensional and just being a "nice barista" made me know instantly by episode 2 he was the creature as there had to be something way more to his character than just that.
…I knew I shouldn’t have scrolled down to the comment section.
I mean, he was my number one suspect with the hole “I swear I’m not a bad person” thing from the raven but it still kind of stings being proven right by a stranger rather then the show.
Yeah, woke media 101 tells us that the most basic white male is the bad guy, same as I knew at the very beginning that Bianca probably would have a tragic background story to overcome, and would become an ally to Wednesday.
@@danielsanchez6235 do you say that every time you see white male villiain
@@ditto9174 he definitely does lol💀. It’s funny because I can see where he’s coming from but the show didn’t show really that much wokeness at all.
@@dudewhatthewhat8983 ye same, the show came out not even a week ago and this guy spoils it...
Eugene is the perfect character. Lives 2 episodes, almost dies, lives in a bed for the rest of the show.
Jesus the animation in this episode is just flawless and top quality! Love the content as always Alex ❤😂❤😂
“Future indie musicians/ tattoo artists”
I’m sorry 🤣🤣🤣🤣
To be fair, the "Addams Family 2" DID have a Thanksgiving pageant in it at a summer camp, so it being released around Thanksgiving is sort of ironic.
Plus it's the best scene in the movie.
Complaining that it was released 1 month after Halloween is just stupid and felt like he was only looking for reasons to not like the show, then he said at the end he likes it and it's worth a watch (which I agree with). His review was kinda annoying.
Exactly! I think it works as a thanksgiving release with all the pilgrim stuff in the show
As an Australian who grew up without an awareness of thanksgiving, seeing Wednesday cut right through the charade and call out the trivialisation of an event that caused multiple deaths and mass seizures of land assets, well, it rather coloured my views on thanksgiving, making it hard for me to think about it without also seeing Wednesday burning everything down, as punishment for the future/past treatment of her people.
@@OnlyOneTubing he's just saying Halloween would be more fitting. I doubt that actually made him dislike it more.
Weird how an emotionless character like her is so appealing to others she attracts quite a few people who want to be friends or in arelationship with her
Well, because she looks attractive. If she was ugly, no one would want to be her friend or in relationship with her.
was not to like? Ortega played this character very well.
@@UmbraFulgur I do also think it's because she's attractive. "Ugly" and mean characters don't get so much support😅
@@fallenstar5759 my thoughts exactly
@@van_ol1056 you spilled the truth!! I agree, this is always included in my arguement lol.
I loved it..... can't wait for season 2.
oh my god… the plank comparison is so spot on 😭
She went from evil but likeble to just a snarky girl after the first episode, it's like the writers didn't want to get cancelled or something if it got too dark
I don't think she is supposed to be "evil". She wasn't likable immediately, it was only when we saw her helping the weak when she started to become likable
Considering she was gearing up to torture Tyler towards the end of the series, I'd say that she's plenty dark
Yeah, the Wednesday we came for, the one in the trailer in the first 5 minutes of the movie with the piranha’s was painfully quick to be proven nothing more then something to grab the audiences attention. I mean she goes from trying to hurt an entire swimming team herself to be chocked about finding out that her dad might have killed 1 person in 3 episodes.
Like weirdly enough I think number Five from the Umbrella Academy does a better job as acting like the og Wednesday then Wednesday in her own series.
My brother in Christ, what on earth would the writers be canceled for? Is your brain this broken by political discourse that you can't watch a stupid show aimed at teenagers without thinking everything is "woke"?
but i liked her when she was evil.
i LOVED jenna as wednesday and i also love netflix for adding CHRISTINA RICCI, FRICKEN CHRISTINA RICCI. don’t get me wrong jenna did fantastic, truly amazing, but christina ricci will always be my favorite wednesday portrayal
Samee!!
On another show, Christina Ricci plays a character that makes Wednesday Addams seem normal.
I love Christina's portrayal she's always been my fav but Jenna's follow up portrayal has not disappointed me at all
@@NJGuy1973 which show is it?
@@caitlingill not sure, but @njguy1973 might be talking about lizzie borden show she was/is in.
That so raven got me 🤣
I'm sorry i'm just dying over Alex dying over the monster😂I was trying not to laugh out loud at work when he put up the Honey Comb dude
My favorite thing about the show is how much work Jenna put into it like we know she carried but also she learned cello just months before and she did research on old gothic dance moves and even incorporated the original Wednesday’s dance into the choreography she made for her raven dance
It makes my kinda sad that nowdays these things get highlighted like something special although good actors do it very often
@@a.personofficial Well considering she’s a young actress and could’ve easily not done those things and had them done for her by doubles or choreographers yes I am going to highlight these things. So sorry we’re uplifting people and their accomplishments
@Diamond Owens it's a job and she's in her 20s
@@dibooyolo other people put in effort for her jobs why is it so impressive she does it
@@_Zephster yeah and it’s great that they do I never said it wasn’t, saying something positive about one person doesn’t equate to telling everyone else they’re doing horribly dude
I binged this show yesterday and I loved it! Everything, including the gore, it being a little cheesy, and how the characters look, add to the cartoonish vibe.
Starting now wish me luck🖖
@@TheNaNaChMan good luck!
Same....went in with extremely low expectations....but it turned out enjoyable....Wednesday killed her part
@@tracyumoffa5387 Jenna Ortega literally carried the show, I've loved her ever since stuck in the middle and was so excited when i saw she was gonna be in this
@@TheNaNaChMan If you like creepy shows then you'll love this
the wolf sound that you made got me laughing so hard
I really liked the show, even though it wasn't perfect. The mystery of it was written really well, though they could have definitely tweaked it to get more with the true Addams family spirit.
Honestly, over of the things I liked the *most*, as someone who's easily scared and hates horrors movies, is that the monster WASN'T some horrific, incredibly scary creature with a nightmarish face. It was certainly a monster, but not too bad. I really loved that
Wednesday is like a Disney sitcom and stranger things mix together and I honestly love it lol
We definitely need more shows where the brooding cynical character is paired up with the perky, sunny one. Wednesday and Enid's dynamic makes this show for me!
Idk it seems like a played idea that only a few ppl can do well. And by the time that person comes along we'll be so tired of the trope that it's hard to appreciate.
Don't they tend to pair up those characters like every show tho xD
We need fewer shows like that. It’s such an overdone cliché and it’s not really that funny or even realistic
@@afunandfriendlyname8468 it is kinda realístic tho
@@Vinicius-zg2pq yes but it doesn’t need to be every character dynamic on tv.
I laughed so hard at the musical interlude haha 😂
I'm so glad someone else had the same first reaction to the monster in this show
You wouldn't believe how long it took for me to figure out that the "Stoners" can literally turn people into Stone. I was so confused at first 😭
I thought they were just normies that smoked weed for the first 4 episodes xD
OMG, I JUST GOT THAT😂
YEEEEEEES
WAIT I NEVER CAUGHT THAT OMGG
Omg same💀
Jenna's version of Wednesday feels new and different, as much as Christina Ricci's version is stucked on my head she def killed this teenage Wednesday one
Bruh I didn't expect the likes lmfao thank you though ☠
@@kim5354 I mean, from all the languages in the world you decided to speak based so obviously you would get that many likes 😂
Agreed. And I'm happy that Christina Ricci is so supportive of Jenna's portrayal of Wednesday.
Omg thats so Raven reference had me killed.
from the Addams family, I always get reminded to Rocky and Bullwinkle. Alex, I beg to you, PLEASE watch the old Rocky and Bullwinkle show YOU'LL LOVE IT, it would be great video material!!!
The "Snap Twice" scene hit me with a nostalgia wave. I absolutely loved it.
IT WAS SO ICONIC!
Yessss! I thought NO ONE would notice that!
Where's it from?
wheres it from?
iconic
Alex laughing his ass off with the monster is just great 🤣🤣
Indeed: My first thought after seeing its face was 'Lol, it looks like a gremlin'.
I died when I saw the goofy ass monster too 🤣🤣 like really? Is that the best you’ve got?
@@melaniescribbles My first thought when I saw it’s face was a flashback to Plants vs Zombies
To me it looks like a Beetlejuice throw back. Just lik4 the old lady in the beginning of the 1st episode looked like, large Marge.
As soon as I saw the monster I immediately though plant vs zombies
"ONE OF THESE GROUPS ARE NOT LIKE THE OTHER" I chocked on my own laughter
