Wednesday 1x04 "Woe What a Night" Reaction

[@evilwelshman]

When Wednesday commented that she wished she cared a little more about what people think, my takeaway from that scene is that Wednesday knows she _should_ and is _supposed to_ care about people's feelings more, yet finds herself being built differently in that regard. As such, looking out for people's emotions and feelings doesn't come naturally to her and they are thus something she struggles to notice. Which is a challenge faced by some people with neurodivergent traits that results in them having difficulty fitting in with others.

I love the fact that Principal Weems had a thing for Gomez when she was in school.

[@ThomasCorp]

It seems like everyone was laser focused on Wednesday’s dress and dance in this episode. Me, my primary concern upon seeing this episode was, “Did this show just kill Eugene!?!? THAT’S NOT RIGHT, SHOW!!!”

[@the_nikster1]

me too! which is why I immediately watched the next episode because I *had* to know whether he was ok or not. this show is great with cliffhangers.

[@magus104]

And heres me thinking "thank god I hate this actor so much"

That dance was classic especially considering Jenna choreographed it herself. Wednesday’s disappointment when it wasn’t real blood but paint when everyone else was screaming was hilarious! Great episode!

[@emanymton713]

None of the vampires should have been freaking out though…

[@AubreySciFi]

@@emanymton713 The Vampires were freaking out because it Wasn't blood! Hehe.

[@DavidMacDowellBlue]

The more I think on it, the more I think the Werewolves, Sirens and Gorgons are in some way pure metaphors for issues we begin to confront in puberty. Will we become valued members of a pack? Can we control our bodies? How can we be sure of how people really feel about us? Or how we feel about them? I am hoping the vampires somehow figure into all this for season 2.

[@JameZayer]

Parasitic nature of a vampire relationship, using a person for what they bring to the table instead of valuing them as a person. Like using a person for their blood to sustain a vampire, you can "use" a person for their connections, status or namesake.

[@scottboswell6406]

I can't say How Much I appreciate the eye roll over the "Frankenstein/Frankenstein's Monster" self correction! LOL!! So here's the episode that launched a thousand tik toks! It;s funny how much the real thing reminds me of what I used to see in Goth nightclubs in the 90's!

[@ronweber1402]

She watched a lot of old videos of Soiuxie Soiux who was a major 90's goth queen.

[@Juke5763]

Your Wednesday and His Dark Materials reactions truly motivate me to breathe

[@openquin1]

Does anyone else just "like" the video at the start in case you forget at the end?

[@skyscreamstudios]

Yes. And I have never had a reason to take it back.

[@nikolinaurevic8613]

​@@skyscreamstudios me too

[@YoRocky89]

Kudos to Jenna Ortega for coming up with that dance on her own while battling covid!

[@thomasstevens2746]

Jenna Ortega is amazing

[@Isaac_99]

That dance though, iconic 💃🏻

[@HellfireComms]

It's super easy to miss, but pay attention to who Wednesday bumps into before she has her vision. It's a very important clue.

[@joecrammond6221]

loving your reactions to this series, it is so brilliant, Jenna Ortega plays the part perfectly, the way she delievers her lines, the fact she choreographed the dance scene herself and even performed it whilst suffering from Covid, your reaction to Eugene was great, what a cliffhanger

[@regent2125]

The dance was just iconic! 😍

[@kellifranklin9872]

Eugene is one of my favorite characters on the show. He’s such a sweetheart!

[@TheMoonRover]

Honestly, I was expecting Wednesday would get there in time, try to defend Eugene, and the monster would leave (it saved her before).

[@blackpowder99]

Happy New Year 🥂❤️ I loved the Wednesday series far better than I thought I would (Jenna was born for this role) I've been a fan of the Adams Family for a very long time.

[@derekfnord]

100% agree about the school dance thing. In my four years of high school, I missed one formal because I was supposed to go with the girl I was seeing, and that relationship fell apart a few days before the dance, and I went to two with dates and it was pretty stressful and awkward both times. Finally, my senior year, I went with my best friend, and she and I both had a blast. 🙂

[@michaelgonzalez6295]

16:17 Not a Carrie moment for Wednesday. More evocative of a Blade (1998) moment for her, when the sprinkler system sprays blood on everyone at the rave and most everyone is revealed to be a vampire.

[@Cau_No]

She mentions "They couldn't spring real pig's blood". That's a clear reference to Carrie at the prom. It's doubtful the vampire's party at Blade used the same type of blood …

[@Neurodivergent-j1f]

So who in the show is trying to ice skate uphill?

[@ronweber1402]

I think it's smushing the two together using the sprinkler system like in Blade and then the pig's blood reference from Carrie.

[@TheBrookelynChick]

Can I just say the fit is giving Alicent vibes in this video? Queen (consort). 👑

[@angieeigna5228]

How do you manage to avoid spoilers? Like for example 'the dancing scene' was all over KZbin and Tiktok. And yet, you seemed to have no idea (which is awesome)

[@kurtsnyder4752]

Wednesday sure got ready FAST.😅

[@Paul-D-Hoff]

Right in the first show, they show with a vision who the monster is.

[@flaggerify]

What signals has Wednesday been giving Tyler? These boys are deluded.

[@W0NK042]

The other bonus of going with a friend, to such things (or any social thing), is that you can sit & people watch/make up "life stories" for those you observe. 😈

[@richardyoung3462]

It's interesting, the monster has a distinctive feature, that clearly points to "who" it is. But most of these reactions seem to miss that. It is a very fun watch though!

[@Vince_Steele]

It's not the ducks you have to look out for. It's all the red herrings.

[@TheGoodLad89]

Another fun reaction Jess. Do you get much hassle from Netflix, for copyrighted material?

[@to0muchtoan]

Your reaction was so fun! Eugene needs to be protected at all costs.

[@jai07070]

Lol, red herring remarks on all the other reaction videos I've watched! Enjoy following you on this ride!

[@philipturner9087]

The look on her face when she’s trying to ask him to go the dance

[@saiyasha848]

Yeah, I'm so amazed that Xavier is selfabsorbed enough to read _anything_ but trying to hold back vomit from that.

[@thomasstevens2746]

So happy your enjoying the show

[@Nebulametal]

That Wednesday dance iconic

[@shep4life]

Love this show! Love your reactions!

[@HoopleHeadUSA]

Thing is my favorite after Wednesday and Enid. 4th Eugene.

[@geoffmason7215]

I ignored the red herring and still guessed wrong hope you do better than me

[@willparks3429]

RIP Eugene

[@forestcatkay14]

Not sure if you caught the phone call the sheriff was having. An abandoned house is having lights come on. Thanks to catching that the next episode I was on to who the murderer was. The foot bitten from the leg but toes surgically removed. Does that mean the monster kills in its form then afterwards cuts the body or is the monster biting and killing and someone else is doing the cutting? Now, Eugene was wearing several layers and a thick coat so he could still be alive, yes some flesh cut, but the clothing may have taken the brunt of it. The love triangle- yeah that only exist in the boys minds. Wednesday is not needing that, it is good she’s getting some romance but she’s still high school student homework and friends are enough drama as it is even more so when there is a killer on the loose. Add in that both boys clearly have daddy issues. One’s dad wont talk about the mother and the other has a dad who is famous and most likely doesn’t talk to his son. I do think Tyler should’ve apologized to Xavier for the mural especially as the normies are showing they are more the villains than the outcasts. Yes it was foolish kid stuff but if you want to show you arent a bad person you have to face your actions and Tyler clearly hasn’t done that. I do hope Wednesday doesn’t end up with either boy because neither are good for her. The kid from the summer camp was a better match for her. Maybe Xavier might be a match, but I have a feeling we will have to see him develop some more. Tyler eh that scene of him saying Wednesday is sending signals when it is clear she hasn’t just doesn’t feel right. And he is almost too good to be true.

[@ronweber1402]

I totally think her and Enid will be together by the end of it.

[@ronweber1402]

I love Wednesday but I friggen adore Enid. She is priceless.

[@philipturner9087]

What signals? Is indifference a signal? At least Xavier get’s contempt and aggression.

[@the_nikster1]

I'm with you Jess; I hate that trope of the pining "loser" character who is a "nice person" but "nobody would ever be romantically attracted to them". ick. throw the whole trope in the garbage. #justiceforEugene

[@kevinlowe4953]

Why do the reactors I totally love keep sleeping on my favorite shows.... you finally brought your beautiful self here... ABOUT TIME MY QUEEN JOINED HER FOOT SOLDIERS... LOVE YOU.... FOREVER BEAUTIFUL

[@saiyasha848]

"You keep giving me these signals" This sentence by Tyler has always made me so angry, i mean, _What Signals?_ The Ice cold stare? The monote pragmatism? What about that screamed "Hey lets go out" to you??????

[@ThePharaz]

Maybe I'm wrong but it sounds like your pronouncing Xavier like Ex-Za-vi-er when in English X is typically only pronounced like Ex when hyphenated like X-ray (your way would be like pronouncing Knock like Ka-Nock. It should I believe be pronounced Za-vi-er. Sorry, for being a Nazi about it but I've heard not just you but a few reactors doing the same and it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

[@englishmidnight]

Ha, Jess you just hit on a clue, also again, Lucifer get on it.

[@josemartinez-lx6fh]

You just like Eugene because he has a big smoker and handles it like a pro

[@romacm4757]

Wednesday is amazing... Please reaction to "Alice in the Borderland" too

[@jonathanalemar4747]

Yayyyyyyy

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

So Jess finally got to watch THAT SCENE. I watched Wednesday during the weekend of Thanksgiving and that scene was copied endlessly on TikTok. Jenna choreographed that dance by watching goth folks dancing in night clubs during the 80s. It's perfect. That's how I'd imagine Wednesday would dance like. I'm not the biggest fan of Wednesday having any romantic entanglements. I'm not on Team Tyler or Team Xavier. IRL, Jenna and the actor who portrays Xavier are very good friends and are making another movie together. But I prefer Wednesday just being left alone. I saw no real chemistry with either one of those boys. Wednesday is popular by not wanting to be popular. That, and she's hilariously morbid and a psychopath. There was different directors for this series. Tim Burton directed most but not all. You'll feel some fragmentation at the end. But overall, I enjoyed this series and hope we get a Season 2. I enjoyed this series more than Stranger Things 4 because I'm already familiar with the characters and Wednesday has always been my favorite Addams. She's such a cool character by not trying hard to act cool. I'm in love with Jenna's portrayal as Wednesday. I actually think she's superior to Ricci's. Re-watch the 90s movies and it hasn't aged well. Now in terms of beauty, look up Lisa Loring. She's too old now but back in her 20s and 30s, she was dynamite. She grew up to be beautiful and I hope she makes a small cameo in S2. Jenna nailed that dance move that Lisa Loring turned into a meme.

[@wikidclownchris]

As someone who was born in the 90’s Ricci will in my eyes be the best Wednesday. It would be cool if they did manage to get Lisa Loring for a cameo next season and if they get all 3 to be in a scene together I really liked this show and binged it all at once so now I’m just reliving it by watching multiple reactions.

[@sitting_nut]

check out kamila valieva's ice skating version of dance, she did it within weeks of episode.

[@cheriacole7114]

Hi! Thanks for the reaction. I wish that they wouldn't have let the Nevermore students have a reaction to the paint. In my opinion a bunch of supernatural kids would've just thought it was part of the experience.

[@bleaman33]

Not in a creepy way but them nails look like some great back scratching/tickling nails lol.

[@piercemchugh4509]

whoever gets the 666th upvote just want you to know I was so close. 665.

[@moondog3056]

Everyone went gaga over her dance. It was nothing special. With or without it, this was a good episode

[@philipturner9087]

Eugene will get ignored until he’s well off in his 30’s then the girls his age that ignored him to play with the bad boys will suddenly realise they are running out of time for a hubby and kids. One will baby trap him, claim it’s love. The first child may even be his any others will be from one or several of her loves she’s cheating on him with.

[@NutJob3118]

🇺🇲💯💯💯🇺🇸 nail on the head. Both his mother's told him so.
