WEDNESDAY Netflix | Review

[@TheCrimsonRevenger]

It's strangely heartwarming to see Thorias give a happy review.

[@rehac001]

Well Wednesday did not make Thorias consider lobotomy via soup spoon, after the cosmic horrors that are batwomen and she hulk I think any decent to incredible show would make him happy.

[@TwistedReality13]

Thorias isn't a hate tuber IMO. He will give a shiw fair due if it's any good. He doesn't just shit on stuff to shit on it. I think thats why I like his commentary sometimes over say Nerdrotic or Disparu.

[@The_Mighty_Fiction]

Is your left arm tingling too?

[@videofox]

I just imagine the Addams paid off the mutilated kid's parents to *not* press charges, which also works to explain how Gomez beat his own murder charge.

[@mlmii1933]

I thought that was the implication as well.

[@teongreen5254]

It was stated in the series that they probably payed a lot of money to silence them.

[@JesseGolo]

I think Gomez beat his murder charge by claiming self-defense.

[@J.E.R.O.M.E.]

Whatever happened to the depiction of the happy, friendly, extroverted Addams Family? They were weird, but they didn't think so. THAT'S what made their interactions with the general public hilarious. They ARE friendly af. They AREN'T stone faced and melancholy all the time. That's been proven to work! And they're definitely not vindictive (maybe Uncle Fester). They wouldn't even think you're being an asshole to them. They would just think you were...odd.

[@darrengordon-hill]

During one Halloween, bank robbers used their house to hide. Gomez mistook them for "trick or treaters", saw their bag full of cash.... and gave them more cash.. Comedy!! Now it's a show for "resting bitch face" and "Ursula"...

[@J.E.R.O.M.E.]

@@darrengordon-hill Drawers FULL of money 🤣🤣. I've yet to reach that point in life.

[@wardenunknown]

I also dislike how Wednesday and Pugsley's relationship shifted towards generic sibling dynamics of hating each other but liking each other. Cause it was shown that them torturing each other is how they express love, plus they like getting hurt since it's fun for them. Pugsley thinks Wednesday is a great sister because of all the elaborate death traps she makes just for him

[@J.E.R.O.M.E.]

@@wardenunknown Agreed. And the time where she "ran away". He kept her safe like a big brother should. I mean, under his bed, but still. We've seen better days.

[@wardenunknown]

@@J.E.R.O.M.E. heck we don't even need to go that far, in the old 90's cartoon series Pugsley wanted to turn Wednesday into a dog so that she'll spend a night miserable in a pound as a way to thank her for all the torture she puts him through. At the end of the episode Wednesday says she doesn't need to be repayed as just seeing her brother happy is reward enough, the episode then ends with her transforming into various animals to stomp on him

[@Nightman221k]

I can’t get over how the first episode made Wednesday so drainingly Not Like Other Girls. She complains about her normal high school and gets expelled. She’s annoyed about it even though she hated that school. She bemoans having to go to a school literally tailor made for the Addams family and she’s bitchy about it. The school bends over backwards to accommodate her and gives her a special black uniform and her roommate tries to be welcoming. She’s still being a snob. It’s like “okay, look, we get it you’re special and goffick, Enoby Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way, but what the hell DO you want?”

[@mayam.3240]

Yep, exactly this did spoil a lot for me at the start. At that point WA didn't feel like WA, but just like any random annoying constantly pissed off "not like the other girls" teenage female. It feels like they may have taken this as the starting point to build her up from there... and that's what they did. She becomes likeable while still keeping her "weirdness". I seen many people misstaking her for a Mary Sue, but I kinda disagree.. Not just that she is getting her ass handed to her a couple of times because she's overconfident and just not as smart or strong as she thinks she is...But those things where is good at.. like some fighting, fencing, mechanic skills... they all make somewhat sense when knowing the previous movies.

[@CyGea]

​@@mayam.3240 She is an Addams...and it is not out of character for an Addams to be super-rich, over-educated, musically talented, good at fencing/fighting, speak EVERY language, and weirdly draw people into their orbit.

[@mayam.3240]

@@CyGea That's exactly what I meant for mary sue argument people keep bringing up. Considering she's an addams a lot of these skills make sense. And her seing still fail sometimes proves that point.👍

PERPETUAL MISERY

[@darrengordon-hill]

@@mayam.3240 Because when is (now)? Pretty much since the movies. "Embrace your inner freak/normal = bad". When I was a kid, TAF were "normal", not "weird and proud"

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

Enid was an impossible character... I have no idea how they made her a thing. Shes the bubbley, cheerful, gossipy, typical annoying AF high school girl... Except shes not annoying, shes actually incredibly likable. Those thing should be impossible to combine, theyre mutually exclusive concepts. Its like adding fire to gasoline and somehow come out with cotton candy, it makes no sense... But somehow they made it make sense anyway. I have no idea how that works.

[@icepicjoey]

Awesome analogy, you described Enid perfectly.

[@duelmonitor]

If you've seen Adult Wednesday Addams then you know that Wednesday could be a great character. I really liked Wednesday too. Great show. A bit teen oriented at times but it's still great. Thanks for the review! I haven't seen the whole season yet so I'm glad it doesn't go downhill like other shows.

[@piotrskodowski7544]

Well considering she us a teen here some teen orientation is in order :).

[@piotrskodowski7544]

Adult Wensday us great indeed:)

[@duelmonitor]

@@piotrskodowski7544 That's fair ;-)

[@GrayskullPrime]

The opening didn't bother me. I didn't associate it with school shootings. I was more put off with how out of character the rest of the family was. Pugsley was weak. Gomez delivered all his lines in the same monotone voice. No charisma at all. The flashback of him and Morticia... They should've been loving the attempted murder! Not screaming for it to stop.

[@Chino56751]

Someone doing terrible things ( murder, hostage taking, terrorism ), or lesser bad things ( stealing, grand theft auto ) due to mental health problems is one thing, but its easy to forget those things are still wrong and whoever did them still needs to face consequences. Some might want to lash out at society overall and blame it for why they did what they did, but ultimately, everyone is responsible for their own actions

[@AgentMoray]

Nah it will be ok.

[@a.nonymouse]

One of Thorias's best reviews THUS FAR. A masterclass for all of us just starting out with our own channels on HOW TO GET IT DONE. Long may he reign.

[@paulbond96]

Fun fact The choreography dancing scene was entirely created by Jenna Ortega. Before the series was recorded she spent several hours studying goth punk videos on the topic and then she developed the moves we see in the series. The casting of Jenna Ortega was by far the best decision regarding this very good show

[@icepicjoey]

She also learned the cello for this, all those scenes were all her work.

[@Popeye-the-trailer-Man]

I heard about what does actress did anyway she deserve an Emmy just for that I hope she gets better roles than this one and what characters are respect continuity I hope she keeps her head up for those rolls and don't compromise her self integrity we need more people like this peace.

[@georgesmith6218]

3:00 I'm pretty sure wendy's mother implied she threatened and\or bribed everyone to avoid attempted murder charges.

[@CyGea]

Luis Guzmán's Gomez just didn't have Gomez's "mad-genius" & charisma. Something both John Astin and Raul Julia brought to their portrayals of Gomez. Luis is a good actor, but he was nowhere near right for Gomez. Gomez talking to Wednesday, like he does with Tish, was creepy in the wrong way. And Gomez's "sword-fight," let's just say...I've never seen Gomez without a smile on his face, when he has a sword in his hand. NERFED.

[@alexkogan9755]

What about Tim Curry? Not personally an Addams aficionado but I liked his performance quite a lot.

[@KLunzX51]

This show felt more Monster High than Addams Family. Wednesday stayed fairly close to the original character. Overall, it's definitely worth watching, not something is rewatch on a whim, but if someone else wants to see it, I wouldn't say no.

[@horseradishpower9947]

This didn't exactly feel like it was an Addams Family show, but it was enjoyable enough story. And I agree, Jenna Ortega was brilliant as Wednesday. Perfect casting. And I was enjoying the soundtrack, it was a really good sound palette.

[@trueblaze84]

To be fair, one of the ideas behind the Tim Burton Adams Family movie was that they were basically so rich they could literally murder someone and get away scot free. So the series opening with Wednesday actually trying to murder someone and not facing any real consequences does fit with his original premise for the characters.

[@featherguardian6023]

I will Say This,Tim Burton does Feel like his Coming Back to His Roots and this is Way Better than those Animated Monstrosity Films.

[@notacompleteidiot...1285]

1:40 Could piranhas even survive being dumped in a chlorinated pool? 🤔

[@Driger1792]

I think in the case of Tyler's raw deal, they showed us through the police station that he adopted the evil role. Remember how he explains at first he had black outs and couldn't remember anything? But as time went by, he started to remember everything he did as a Hyde. And rather than fight it, he grew to love that part of himself. Just like in the older Jekyll and Hyde books and movie adaptations. I think they wanted to show the tragedy of him turning into the villain because had he had a better support group of caring adults to nurture him, he could've gone a different way. At least that's my take.

[@JubeiSenpai]

The awful CGI wolf thing had me laughing that I could not continue the show

[@horseradishpower9947]

The CGI wasn't the best... I suspect they didn't really have the budget for it, and I don't know how you could have that fight scene done on a practical effects level.

[@Belial1125]

I mean to be fair that level of violence is pretty much cannon for her throughout most settings.

[@jonasthemovie]

The problem with the pool scene is not the attempted murder, but the crossing from terror to horror. The scene would have been more Addams if we never saw the blood or result.

[@Charlie_Azrael]

I don't understand the casting of Gomez. Luiz is a great actor, but he doesn't have the suavity that you need for the role. I'd seen some people calling for Johnny Depp, and I've seen pictures of him where he looks the part, but I'd rather Antonio Banderas.

[@johnrob3215]

The Wednesday and Enid friendship reminded me of Elphaba and Glinda, the good witch in the stage production, wicked. They’re the twist around the story and have Dorothy go off to college and her roommate is Glenda, the good witch and although they’re polar opposites and have a rough start to the end up becoming great friends in this production, the wizard is the bad guy.

[@rastifan7863]

The attempted murder is hilarious because it will show on Wednesday's resume and people will know she failed. That is her concern and completely in line with her character. Playing it safe with her will be a mistake. Wednesday sees the world through a dark lens. They better not make it purple in season 2.

[@guyjperson]

Well, between an angry reviewer giving this a good review and the amount of times I've been forced to see the Wednesday Dance in recent days, I've been convinced to check this out.

[@lensylver7002]

I don't mind Pugsley getting bullied> The thing is, I thought he's going to say "hi sis" (with smiling face). for what I remember, they love being tortured. Instead Pugsley is like a normal kid. Also Wednesday really Love her mother and even wants to be her, but here well if you watch it.. I don't know alot change.

[@TundraCrow]

Could be the mental and personality alteration that comes with growing into a teenager and wanting to become her own thing. Though Pugsley I will agree I felt would have enjoyed the experience and would have been bummed out that it wasn't even more cramped and filled with rats with rabies.

[@Mark-Bretlach]

[@cheeseburgersuperior1874]

though the acting is good especially wednesday, but the adams should not be affect by this and thinks of it being "normal" to them. pugsley being being bullied doesn't make sense, to him that's playing. wednesday should have not problems in school at all, she's like the person that you can never tease because it would amusing to her. if done in a proper adam's family setting, the piranha thing wouldn't be consider an attempted murder but rarther her helping the team improving their swimming skills and a thank you return for being friendly towards pugsley.

I guess the Tyler thing is because he murdered a bunch of people, but you're totally right. Tyler did deserve better, and hopefully he will get better treatment next season. Honestly, I didn't like Wednesday with either of them, there were too many instances of them accusing Wednesday of leading them on and expecting things from her and it got very tedious. Next love interest should be better in personality

[@NyctophileXIII]

You're worried about the legal technicalities during the series setup in a dark humor comedy? The notion that a schoolgirl can just up and find two gallon bags full of piranhas (a freshwater fish) out of nowhere between classes to dump into the school pool (so treated that it would kill freshwater fish) gets no comment at all, but when the show specifically tells us "that boy's family was going to file for attempted murder charges" you get all up in arms? I saw nothing whatsoever to suggest that the Tyler/Hyde had any possibility of being "rehabilitated." I don't feel anyone in the show would have reason to take the nearly suicidal risks required to even test the theory that he could be. The lore given about how and why Hydes do what they do pretty much suggests the opposite. That lore also divorces real mental difficulties from this fictional monster. It's not the show's problem if that's uncomfortable for you. And nothing ever suggests Tyler is the "scum of the earth." In fact, while Wednesday thinks Xavier is the Hyde, she almost goes out of her way to get him confess under peaceful means. It's not assumed, and nobody is trying to kill or even deter him before it's known as a fact. I couldn't agree more about your reviews of She-Hulk and Batwoman, but this just sounds like outrage for the sake of outrage. Or controversy clickbait. Unfortunate that you're putting that sort of thing out there, especially when you give proper praise to the rest of the show.

[@bupbup777]

Tylor from Wednesday's perspective congested that after being in a fog of being controlled and manipulated that he started becoming more aware of his actions, and he started to like them. Then implying that he does it voluntarily. That and the fact that he has directly and indirectly was on a killing spree had him tied up, arrested and going wherever the law was Taking him. To many people on both sides of the fence were hurt. So I can see him at least at first getting imprisoned. Side note, my guess, if I had to Regarding why Wednesday was able have the attempted murder charges dropped by tje kids parents is that Wednesday's parents likely bribed the parents with a lump sum of cash. It has been done before in past Addams family movies and perhaps shows.

The motivation of Wednesday is clear as she mentions. Nobody trtures my brother but me. This however brings me to the character of Pugsley being adapted to modern ideology. The original Pugley would dish out as much as he would receive. A school bully would be his favourite thing to scare off by packing a monster lunch and some creative counter measures. However somewhere along the line he seems to have lost those skills and became just a victim. Modern times I guess.

Great video Thorias! I just finished the show and liked it immensely. I agree about Tyler: guy was a victim and they did him dirty. I hope the writers fix that in season 2 as Laurel was the real baddie. I was a little taken aback by the beginning of the show too as it didn't feel like Wednesday Addams but oh boy things got better later. I also agree that Inid was a stroke of genius. For "Better Call Saul" fans: people not believing Wendesday about her theories kind of reminded me of Chuck's "I'm not crazy" monologue/ rant lol.

[@corneliusdobeneck4081]

About characters that are not what the movie tries to make us believe: I call this "corrupted perception"! Usually twisted morals, double-standards and "social-status" are used to pull this of. For example: I just watched "Jumper" again and I had totally forgotten that the main character, played by Hayden Christiansen, is an utterly selfish professional criminal who leaves the only person who ever helped him, helpless in a war zone. The movie however tries to make us believe that he is some bullied little kid that became a sleek, smart, nice guy living his live, rescuing his great love from peril while actually he most likely causes dozens of Jumper to be killed. Wendnesday however is always portrayed as "evil" but when it comes to the other guy we have - double-standard again. It's a real nusience in modern cinema.

The powers are unpredictable, and she is warned not to take them too literally, that they could be unreliable narration. Catherine Zeta Jones is hardly in it. Uncle Fester has much more screen time, and the Addams that you see the most with her is Thing, who is is a great sidekick/friend for her. You have occasional buzzwords, like Wednesday saying someone is Mansplaining, but it really feels like it was put there just to get it greenlit. I wasn't spotting The Message in it, which is a relief. The bit at the start, with the piranhas... it was done with the Edith Piaf song "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," which had me wide eyed and laughing. It is even more funny when you see what the lyrics are. I honestly don't understand why Wednesday and Pusgsley are not both attending Nevermore from the get go, but there we are. Jenna Ortega is perfect casting, however. This is the first time I have seen her act, and she is brilliant. She can do deadpan humour really well. Hope this helps you to decide if you want to watch it or not.

[@Noisemarine]

Watching this it felt like Tim Burton and and the producers were having to work really hard to get round the couple of bad woke writers they had to deal with. As the show felt like it really shone when the dialogue was at a minimum. It just came across as really jaring at times when they characters would randomly start pratling on about accepting responsibility for past crimes and the outcast always being persecuted and they would always have to fight for acceptance. All these points were gotten across by the story and character reactions without ever needing to utter a word.

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

I got one look of Gomez and was very worried. Not that anyone could ever fill Raúl Juliás shoes but thats like they didnt even try. Catharina Z looks rally good as Morticia tho, better than I expected. I dont know this girl playing Wednesday but from the trailer she looks like a good fit and from the clips in here she looks really good. The biggest "huh?" I had tho was that she didnt like her parents. Granted its been like 25 years since I watched the show but aside from some Addams style "omg dad dont be a dork" kinda dynamic, I never felt anyone in the family disliked eachother. They were freaks and outcasts to everyone else but not to eachother. Anyway, I came here to decide if I should wath it or not. Im happy to hear it was worth watching cuz I really did want to... I was just afraid they would sh!t all over another one of my childhood favorites so I didnt dare. EDIT: Yea, so I watched it and I have to say. Guzman makes a good job. He still doesnt really fit the look imo but he carries the Gomez persona pretty well, better than I expected. There are a couple of annoying Modern PC crap in here I doubt Wednesday would ever really care about but theyre not preachy about it so its not that bothersome. Otherwise I like it. Ortega is fantastic and kinda morbidly cute which is absolutely spot on. The sets are fantastic, when she tears down the colored window and we get the shot of her and Enid facing eachother was really visually impactful. Also loved all the scenes with Wednesday playing the cello. Very interesting song choises xD

Hearing his fate, I immediately knew Tyler was a white dude and that women probably wrote at least half the series.

Boy, how can you not love smallville

Not gonna lie, I got to halfway through the first episode and Wednesday called a guy a tool of the patriarchy and I turned off. I don’t much care about the first 5 mins but when I hear patriarchy I turn off

Same my younger sister was over and wanted to watch it and she’s your typical zoomer hipster 23 year old and she called it woke and wanted it off lol

[@ApatheticGod0]

@@TheVioletBunny good for her. I used to allow one warning, now I don’t. Teach them the only way they know. Hopefully their analytics will tell them thousands turned off at a specific word

I hate 'psychic flashes' in fiction, or as I call them, 'lazy-ass plot dumps from writers who can't be bothered having their characters actually discover stuff so they get information from MAAAGIIIIC.' There are, of course, few exceptions like 'Minority Report' but mostly, ESP is just a bullshit shortcut.

[@sharpe34]

I didn't mind the first 5 minutes, it was kind of a call back to the old tv show. But the psychic powers crutch was a bit too much of a cheat code to me. Wednesday did good legwork for so much of the show, it was just, a cheat.

I nearly quit in the first 10mins when they turned Pugsley into a whiney crybaby and put Gomez on antidepressants.

Sorry, I just hate it when ensemble IPs are dissected or subverted in order to elevate one character above all others. I didn't like the idea of a solo Snake Eyes movie when they couldn't even make a faithful GIJoe adaption, nor do I like this cultish infatuation with the Wednesday character which has turned her into a vain pop culture deity. Can't help but get Teela-vibes circa Kevin Smith's Masters of the Universe whenever I see clips of this Wednesday show.
