Wednesday, on the other hand, just did exactly what she wanted to do. She mentioned at another point in the series that she likes to dance, so her doing all those weird dance moves, without caring what those around her were doing, actually fits her character pretty well.

The second was the fact none of the Addams felt like the Addams family outside sometimes Wednesday. For example, Gomez and Morticia should have had at least a little chemistry, Pugsley gets tortured for fun but cries from being in a locker, Wednesday never hated her family but despises her mother and threatens to break Thing's fingers. Jenna was perfectly cast, and the rest of the cast was good on paper, just lacked chemistry and writing that was cohesive.

I just didn't particularly like the way Wednesday acted towards Morticia. I get that she's a moody teen and that she doesn't want to be stuck in her mom's shadow (honestly a good source of angst for her character) but sometimes she was just mean. The core of the Addams family is that even though they're all weird, they're an extremely close and loving family. It was always important to show them as being the most well-adjusted family despite the obsession with the macabre. I felt like she hated her mom during some parts and that is just so anti-Addams Family to me. I think that's why I didn't like adult Morticia very much in this. I like Catherine Zeta-Jones, but something about her portrayal of Tish rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it's because I'm obsessed with Carolyn Jones's version and no one else will live up to her 😅 Regardless, I found the show fun, but it felt like an alternate-universe fanfiction of the Addams Family.

Completely agree with this take. My least favorite thing is how female protagonists always have to have love interests. Honestly any gender protagonist. Let's just make them single, maybe aro or ace. To me it's just the laziest form of writing because it takes away from the richness of a character, leading to them only experiencing conflict and growth based on another person. They go from a character with complicated emotions, to a character whose emotions get complicated by another person. And then the show only focuses on that aspect of the character. Plus to keep the romance interesting they usually have to make it toxic af so it doesn't bore an audience. I also think platonic love is such an important dynamic in the human experience, wish it was given the same amount of time beyond catty frenemy or rom com "let's generalize about men" between women.

Honestly, I kinda saw Wednesday as a grey asexual aromantic in the Ricci portrayal. The whole thing of her being more fascinated than attracted to the one person we see her show interest in, and as soon as he implies he'd like something more romantic than the odd kiss in their relationship, she shuts him down completely and tells him she'd never get married, would pity anyone who fell in love with her, and would murder anyone who attempted a romantic relationship with her. Like, she was young, but it still sets a lot more groundwork for an ace spectrum reading than a heterosexual, alloromantic one. That was actually one of the things I did think the show did quite well for the most part. I liked her and Tyler's dynamic partially because it wasn't exactly overwhelming lust and infatuation from her end. She liked him, got along with him and wasn't repulsed by the idea of a relationship with him, but she wasn't exactly enthusiastic about it and it almost seemed like she was more trying out that kinda thing with him out of curiosity and a little bit as a way to punish Xavier for "being the monster" and for pursuing her when she clearly wasn't into him. They could've made a cute non-traditional couple somewhere in between friends and lovers if they'd have gone with him being unaware of what he was Unfortunately, they definitely set the tropey groundwork for a long game Wednesday/Xavier thing and I am sooooo not a fan.

And yet, people keep flocking around her and tolerating her either complete indifference or, in some cases, outright toxicity. The worst example of this has to be Enid coming back to be roommates with Wednesday. That was, IMO, absolutely terrible, like, look at the events up to this point. Enid gets annoyed with Wednesday after the birthday party, gets a glimpse of Wednedsay maybe-sorta apologizing, goes along with it only to find out that it was Wednesday manipulating her into helping her solve the murders, and now putting her in grave danger, and then proceeding to feel no remorse over it. That, extremely justifiably, causes Enid to snap, blow up in Wednesday's face and move out. And we're distinctly shown that Wednesday does actually miss Enid being around. What a wonderful set up for her to actually take a first step, put herself out there and do at least *something* resembling an apology. Like returning that vial she found, which i thought was an obvious set up. It didn't have to be much, just something Enid could see as a sign that Wednesday is trying to do better. Instead, n-n-nope, Enid just comes back and proclaims "we work" on zero basis whatsoever, and the conflict is pushed into the background in an unresolved state. We get no apology or even an acknowledgement from Wednesday that she did something wrong, and Enid seems fine with a high-ass risk of getting manipulated and put in danger all over again.

Yeah, I was thinking they were going to bring it back around to the plant teacher setting up the therapist but... they just never addressed it. On that note: what was with the photos in the music box? Some of the photos were of Wednesday, Enid, and Tyler arriving at the house so.... Thornhill took photos of them arriving for... reasons... then immediate hid them in the music box and ran away again so that Tyler could Hulk out and.....? Also what was the point of Tyler showing up occasionally as a Hyde but then not actually trying to kill Wednesday? Was it to scare her? They needed her to resurrect the big bad, but she didn't need to be alive for that. Was Thornhill just really lucky that Wednesday was sent to Nevermore... was she just going to be a regular teacher forever on the off-chance an Addams would show up eventually? And why was Ye Olde Pilgrim Mass Murderer a wizard at the end? Isn't he supposed to hate magic? Why is he magic? Was he secretly an outcast? Why is he murdering them all then?

We've established that the visions are hereditary (passed down from Morticia to Wednesday), but also that Goody Addams - who has no relation to Morticia Frump, is kind of like a spirit guide for the Addams Family women. It's never explicitly stated that Goody taught Morticia about controlling her visions, but it's implied that Morticia and Goody have some extra connection. It would have been more believable and better if they had just made Goody a Frump instead of Addams.

She's more interested in harming others thinking it's a fun game (that's her thing to show she likes you sometimes, i guess). Having her flirt, unless it was a con to get something she wanted, is completely out of character for her. And even if she _did_ do it, that would probably be the last resort type of thing because nothing else works.

Italian here and long time fan! Fun fact about the word barista (8:02): it is the same in masculine and feminine form! All nouns in Italian are gendered and we have no neutral form so all nouns are either f or m which is discernable by the desinence, the most common being -a for feminine and -o for masculine (i.e. brav-a/-o). That being said, some nouns can be ambigender meaning they can be used as they are to mean either f or m depending on linguistic context such as articles. That is the case for some nouns created by adding the suffix -ista to smt, as is the case for bar-ista which would then be used as "la barista" (f) or "il barista" (m) without the noun itself changing desinence. Props for trying though!!

That's insanely accurate, even Jenna stated that Wednesday didn't seem like the type of character to ever be in a love triangle, but it was just arbitrarily thrown in because, hey, it wouldn't be a teen drama without a completely unnecessary love triangle, now, would it?

@@trinaq I went into this show knowing there's gonna be a bad love triangle and the queerbaiting (netflix promoted the show with Wednesgay). So the moments with Wednesday and guy1 and guy2 felt comedic. Especially because she was so unamused by either of them. Also we need to stop calling them love triangles and call them love corners. A triangle is equal in 3 ways, but these... are just a girl stuck between two guys. That's a corner.

@@HotDogTimeMachine385 Precisely, Wednesday should just focus on being her awesome, snarky self, especially since she barely even showed genuine interest in either guy.

Did the Goody Addams thing bother anyone else? Like, Goody was the word puritains used for Mrs, it was short for Goodwife. It is not a name anymore than Mister is a name.

I loved every second of this show, the love interests were unneeded but not terrible, and it was great, definitely need a season 2

I’m taking bets on Morticia being the new headmistress. It would be a stretch to justify it, but I could see the writers wanting to do it.

Honestly, the love triangle was so pointless. I would have been fine with Xaviers being some nice dude who feels grateful to Wednesday and saved her as payback. He wanted to be friends at first but dropped the idea seeing how dry and unbothered she was. And Tyler being the only love interest but later turned villain. So, she remains single and in the 2nd part, we could have explored Xavier's story (of his negligent psychic father) and how his and Wednesday's relationship developed. Cuz I can't see any earthly reason for Xaviers to like Wednesday!!

What I was understanding about the 'attack on Eugine timeline' was that setting the cave on fire happened a little before we saw Thornhill on the dance and the attack itself happened because Wednesday said that Eugine is in trouble and he went to the cave, with Thornhill next to her. Wednesday run after saying that and later we see Thornhill arriving a little after her, but those few moments gave Thornhill time to notify Tyler that Eugine is there and to go deal with him. After all Tyler was on the dance too, he had to find out from Thornhill.

Considering we do have shapeshifters set up in this universe I wonder if the teacher appearing at the dance while she was burning the hideout is just this - she had a shapeshifter show up in her place At least I can totally close my eyes on this slight plot hole because it can be easily covered

The dancing thing might be a reference to the old Addams Family movies that is implied that the family has a tradition of dancing and they all have very... unique styles. So I think that was in character for her. I have some gripes with the series but certainly is in the realm the "enjoyable"

I originally thought thornhill would be the monster because when we first see her she mentions the mud on her boots.
