Historical brilliance aside, it's also great character growth for Wednesday. She'd spent the entire movie in open defiance of society, but finally learned that playing along can offer a better chance to strike. Don't even get me started on the irony that it ends with her first legitimate smile.

[@Russelshackleford]

Holy shit, you’re right about her legitimate smile. I’ve watched this movie so many times and never picked up on that. This movie really is top tier.

[@astrangerhere]

Of course that smile only happens when she has a lit match in her hand in front of a girl who's soaked in gasoline, but that's Wednesday..

[@briapryor1709]

[@girlwiththeartfolder1854]

Alot of people think this movie was just about a weird family, but no...this movie went further. It revealed actual facts about how society will often try to cover up the reality of things, force people into line or ridicule anyone they deem out of place. The whole idea of the Addams family is not how strange they are, but how we probably feel compared to the larger groups of society who believe they are the shining example, when in reality they are just as bad. For example: Debbie appears all pure and innocent, but in reality she's a psychopath. The camp leaders believe they are setting a great example to all young people, but really they are completely disrespecting kids they see do not fit into their category, not to mention trying to forcefully convert them. This movie is deeper then it seems.

[@francoiscoupal7057]

That's why in a nutsheel the Addams Familly is such a good story and character. They have so many good values hidden beneath a deliberate and misdirecting demeanor. Satire et it's finest in my opinion. Black humor and cynic humor is also favs of mine, so there.

[@Marisanrisa]

You can see how terrible the camp leaders are if you see who’re the pilgrims and who’re the Natives. The natives are mostly played by the imperfect kids; ones with large glasses, one who’s in a wheel chair, one with a cast around his neck, Wednesday,etc. Basically any person who’s not ideal or “perfect” to most’s mind, aka the camp leaders.

[@fidulario]

I find that line ironic since many Europeans of that time period had little to no schooling and girls weren't even allowed to attend school. Also, the minimal schooling that boys got was usually limited to "read the bible" and "Xenophobia 101". Native Americans, tho, taught all of their children about their heritage, about respect, about the balance of nature, and about why everything was shaped and colored the way it was

[@JESantaMaria]

I didn't see the Wampanoag attacking the Narragansett Nation... so no oppressors were attacking in the skit. You should learn more and stop throwing the word "oppressors" around so lightly. The Pilgrims were welcomed by the Wampanoag and considered family. The Narragansetts were trying to steal their land, demand taxes, and oppress the Wampanoag because the Narragansetts had a god-complex (for not being affected by an endemic that wiped out the Wampanoag. Very cowardly, rather than challenge the Wampanoag when they were at their full strength the Narragansetts came after them when the Wampanoag were decimated, broken-hearted, and grieving something like a 90% death rate of the ENTIRE NATION!. www.nps.gov/rowi/learn/historyculture/wampanoag.htm#:~:text=With%20the%20Wampanoag%20nation%20weakened%2C%20the%20Narragansett%20tried,support%20in%20defending%20their%20land%20from%20the%20Narragansett.

It says you’re glad the snobs got their karma and their just desserts. Their script was very white-supremacist and racist. Sometimes I wish I could do to my younger sister what Wednesday did to Amanda every time she acts in a snob-like manner. I don’t mind that my sister likes fine things and enjoying upper class life, but it’s not okay to act like a snob and spurn your own family for not sharing your values.
