Wednesday's Jenna Ortega & Luis Guzmán Eat Mexican & Puerto Rican Food | Taste Buds | Netflix

[@BrokeredHeart]

I loved Jenna's portrayal of Wednesday, but I'm glad they've given Luis Guzman his moment too, because he was very considerate of how he played Gomez. Raul Julia made him more bold, charismatic, with panache and bravado, while John Astin in the 1960s show made him more like the typical sitcom patriarch that smoked cigars and read the paper while offering good advice and support. To emulate or copy that would have been dated, and he needed to show that Wednesday's start at Nevermore was not her exile or punishment, but their desire to see their daughter succeed. Luiz made him more amorous, but also more of a softie, as he adores his children and obviously this is the first time they'll be separated as a family with Wednesday not under their roof anymore. It shows that Wednesday, despite her cold demeanor and flat affect, was still raised in a loving household by two concerned parents, which made sure that the series still is tethered to the primary concept of the cartoons - that they are a family like any other, just with a very dark and macabre outlook on life. It's also very sweet how supportive he is of Jenna, and keeps saying that she makes him "proud". Also, now I'm hungry for tostadas with guac and refried beans.

[@matimus9533]

Very spot on analysis of all the Gomez iterations and Luis's take on the character. In the prison scene, there were subtle hints of Gomez's dark side underneath that warm exterior, which reminded me a bit of 'Kingpin' (from Daredevil). Luis absolutely nailed the acting here!

[@twentyonetortas5921]

@@matimus9533 is the dark side based on him lying and not being completely honest about Morticia killing Garett?

[@pfftxoxo1502]

I would not say the 1960’s iteration of Gomez was a typical patriarch lmao

[@an6350]

omfg his character is one i wish had more screen time. i mean, he had enough considering it was Wednesday's show.. but i really enjoyed all his scenes. he waas just such a cool member of a dark family since he showed a lot of love too and was really funny. a show called Gomez would be dope actually

[@lurkerrekrul]

I didn't really care for his portrayal of Gomez. I'll admit that my view of the character was influenced by both Aston and Julia, but his version of the character didn't really appeal to me. Both Aston and Julia played the character as confident, mostly easy going, and fun loving. The kind of person you'd like to be friends with because you know he'd be fun to be around. Guzman's Gomez seemed insecure and like he was playing second fiddle to his wife. He's supposed to be the head of a rich, successful family, and I just didn't get that from him.

It’s Hispanic culture. If you can click with someone of Hispanic descent but have a vast age range it’s easy to treat them like family and care for them as if they were. He’s probably put himself as Gomez so intently that he ACTUALLY sees Jenna as his daughter. It can happen

[@Regitron3000]

I'll admit I was a bit skeptical over Luis Guzman's casting as Gomez. But after watching the series I think he did very well. He is so right that Gomez's biggest trait is how loving he is, not just with Morticia but his entire family, and Guzman really brings that out in the series. You really buy how much he loves Wednesday and supports her. Sounds like they had a great time filming the series together and that is always a nice thing to know as a fan. Looking forward to a season 2!

[@ophelias4172]

I grew up with Raul Julia being Gomez and Angelica Huston as Morticia. It made me a bit doubtful because Raul Julia brought a lot class and sophistication to the role and Angelica Huston simply nailed Morticia. I think that Luis Guzman brings back the look of the original comic. He’s also funny so it adds to it. Jenna Ortega was perfectly cast as Wednesday. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Christina Ricci as Wednesday but Jenna Ortega makes Wednesday exactly the kind of teenager Wednesday would turn out to be. Irritable, rebellious but shows a very well hidden caring side and loyalty to those she deems worthy.

[@jamiemiller6156]

I love Luis Guzman, but I feel like him and Catherine Zeta Jones were pretty big misses in casting. To be fair to Guzman, following Raul Julia is an impossible task, but they could have found a better fit.

As a Latina who was born in the US, I related so much to her stories especially the one about Cinderella. The only star I had growing up to look up to was Selena Gomez who I love. So happy to see more of our community being represented especially in such iconic roles 🖤 Edit: Wanted to add a note since comments have been insane- some of you are very thorough in this argument. I obviously know there’s other Latinos/ Hispanics in Hollywood, my point was that in MY pov growing up (I’m in my mid 20s) we didn’t have actresses or princesses playing roles I could look up to. They all either did not look or have any connection to me culturally. Many actors mentioned are true and their work was great but it was never as a main role/ iconic of a role as Jenna has played in my perspective. I obviously know she’s a “light” Latina (again, for arguments sake) but the fact that her work has put in her in such high regard while she does not ignore her roots will do wonders for little girls now. Also, please don’t argue about language either- that’s a part of culture (and of colonialism) not a defining factor of which race/ethnicity you are from. And saying that anyone who was born in America is “less than” others of their country who weren’t is disrespectful to their parents, grandparents, etc. who had to move to this country for one reason or another. Let’s all be kind and respect that everyone lives their life differently with differing degrees of connection to their roots 🤍

For all those who don’t understand the casting of Luiz, first of all, the ORIGINAL comic of the Addams Family portrayed Gomez as a short, plump Latino man.. and Tim Burton based his characters for this series on the original comic. The ones he used to read as a kid, and partly on the original black and white TV series. The reason we aren’t used to seeing somebody like him playing Gomez is because Gomez has always been portrayed as a tall, fit and darker figure, Raul Julia did a fantastic job in the 90’s films, but that was his own adaptation, not based off the original character, the very first Gomez ever written, Luiz’s Gomez is based off that one. I personally think he did a great job. Quit hating on him.
