It is the great tragedy of Debbie that she never realized that the Addams would've adored every one of her psychopathic tendencies. She earned her spot in their graveyard. She just did the one thing the Addams could never tolerate. Betrayal of family. The Addams genuinely love each other, and Debbie only loves herself. Her murderous tendencies aren't the problem, it's her selfishness.

[@geeebuttersnap2433]

Her selfishness also would have been accepted by the adams family, they are not a normal family. She would have been a good addition to them if she just admitted it to them. But she didn’t really love fester, that’s where they would have kicked her to the curb.

[@krapicon376]

Fun Fact - Pubert was the original name that Charles Addams wanted to name Pugsley when he was tasked to name the characters for the TV series. But in the 1960's it was too crude for television to have a child named that, so it was rejected by the producers and Pubert became Pugsley. So, to honor that late Charles Addams in Addams Family Values they name the new Addams baby Pubert.

[@andreabruson5558]

another fun fact: we all know and love the fact that Thing is a hand but in the comics it wasn't like that, it's being created for the tv show. in the comics it was a half human figure, always standing hidden in the back of the scene and never had any line or relevance in the stories.

[@adamcollazo8228]

Ricci's Wednesday (11-13 years old) is much older than Lisa Loring's Wednesday (6-8 years old) which allowed her to be colder and more sarcastic. It's not really a fair comparison. Jenna Ortega's Wednesday is even older (15-16 years old) and she's even darker than Ricci's Wednesday and borderline sadistic in a comedic way of course.

[@SectionNyne]

From what I understand, Ricci's Wednesday was more of a return to the original Wednesday from the comic strip. Lisa Loring was too young to be able to pull off the darker Wednesday of the comic so they changed her into a more normal, wholesome character. When it came time to do the movie, they tried to get Wednesday back to her roots and with Ricci's brilliant acting, they succeeded beyond all expectations.

Overthinking the Addams Family: If "normal" sibling rivalry includes actually trying to murder each other, what could Gomez have said or done that actually drove Fester away in the first movie?

[@Nicamon]

Didn't he explain it was because he went after both Flora&Flauna even if he didn't love them(and they were presumably into Fester originally)?

[@houseofaction]

@@Nicamon it was explained that gomez was jealous of fester's sucess with women, so he wooed the twins away from fester

[@houseofaction]

gomez was jealous of festers suceess with women so he wooed flora and fauna away from fester which angered fester

I will always treasure this movie just for Wednesday roasting Gary's script: "Your work is puerile and under-dramatized. You lack any sense of structure, character, and the Aristotelian unities."

[@sasamichan]

this is the last one in this canon with this cast . All the other Addams Family films both the older and Newer will show the characters with a different cast. there is a 70s movie and 2 2020 films and one more from the 90s with a new cast

How many people never realized that the annoying blonde girl at camp is the same girl that tried to sell Wednesday the girl scout cookies in the first movie.

If you want more (and in my opinion the best) Addams Family, I recommend looking for the 1960s TV-series "The Addams Family" - many of the jokes in the first movie, and the general concept, even their theme song, was derived from that series. There's also a cartoon series by the same name, which is worth checking out - since cartoons can get away with far more outrageous stunts and over-the-top craziness than you can do in live action, even with CGI.

The origin of the concept was actually a series of cartoons in the _New Yorker_ magazine created by Charles Addams. The characters in the cartoon didn't have names, so when it was adapted for television the studio worked with Addams to come up with names for them all. I think it's a testament to everyone involved in the films that the Addamses therein are markedly different from the TV versions, yet are still clearly the characters from Addams' original work.

Joan Cusack tho...

Joel (Wednesday's boy toy) was played by David Krumholtz who's been in a ton of stuff.

Perhaps most recognizably, Bernard the Elf in the Santa Clause movies!
