same. looks good and from the trailer alone the visuals already look fantastic

well xtina was from an era were actors actually have talent and beauty.

yeap 90s cast set the standard how we love the addams family, dunno about gomez and morticia new cast they look like from a parody show 😅

He is a particularly good choice for directing this series. Also, I love how the actor playing Gomez looks like he came out of one of the original comic strip. It's great that they didn't go the route of finding a Raul Julia look a like. As great as he was in the part, he didn't really look like the original.

I have to say I do love Melissa Hunter in the Adult Wednesday Adams shorts! But that said, yes I'm very much looking forward to this....

I agree, although even a jealous person/competitive person wouldn’t show it as much when they set the bar quite high(jealousy/unhealthy competitiveness shows when you are surpassed or about to).

To be fair, she's probably fully aware of the situation. Everyone loves her Wednesday best of all, and she's got nothing to prove. There's plenty to share with the next generation, and she wants Jenna to be successful too. The best that's going to happen is Jenna manages to tie in popularity as the character. A solid century from now, when people are watching "old movies" and such, and they come across the original show, the movies we know, the cartoons and such, and this show...they're going to prefer the movies, hands down. It's just too hard to top any of those actors portrayals. They nailed everything about the cores of the characters from the original show, AND they managed to add a dark flair that blended seemlessly into it all. They're dark and a bit warped, but they've very clearly "good" people. The only ones who would ever fear being around them are those who get hung up on the superficiality of appearance. The fact is, so long as you don't screw with them, they won't do a damned thing to you. And even if you do, they don't really act disproportionately to whatever it was. It's actually really subtle, because of how eccentric they are, the audience often has the same idea of them that the "normies" in the story do. It's just that the audience identifies the Addams' as the protagonists, and enjoys seeing their antics, so they're amused instead of frightened (and, it's just a movie, so they know they're safe).

Why would she be jealous? She's not the right age to play this version of Wednesday, so it's not like Ortega was cast _over her._

She has to be diplomatic... but everyone knows, Ricci's version cannot be topped.

It’s called diplomacy

She is a talented actress, but Hollywood is for profit. Most of the roles are given not on acting skill alone, but to whom can bring in the most money. I agree, she should have been an Oscar winner by now. Hopefully the right role comes along and she is recognized for it and her achievements.

@@Dank951 I agree of course… she was really good in Monster but all eyes went to Charlize Theron (who was of course worthy to win)

. She is very talented but Hollywood is evil.

Monster in 2003, she was phenomenal.

Oscar's are social credit scores for industry insiders. They are not awarded based on talent.

She is amazing!

She didn't blink on camera.

Wednesday Jones & Guzman - 2/10 Story - 5/10 Special effects - 5/10 Jenna - 10/10

She is the perfect person to play an older Wednesday

She has stairs for her eyes? Are they steep? Shouldn’t she have an escalator or an elevator for her eyes? It is a modern world we live in after all; a Hollywood star shouldn’t have to rely on old fashioned stairs for their eyes anymore. And where are her eyes going that they need stairs anyways? Seems odd to me. But I do like the idea of detachable eyes that can go somewhere on their own; kind of like how Thing is a disembodied hand. 😂

She made that character iconic for a whole generation of people, but Ricci wasn’t the first. I’m interested to see what the new Wednesday brings to the character.

Christina did an amazing job. Those are tough shoes to fill but I'm excited to see the new show.

Wasn't Lisa Loring the original?

Jenna for one looks to old for the part and she doesn't have the right look , horrible casting .

@@manchesterexplorer8519 she's supposed to be in high school 😆

Same! I related so much to that character.

this is why she should play our "from the future" Wednesday, plus both now and future wednesday's communications with each other should provide us with some golden scenes

That's how I feel about Winona Ryder as Lydia in Beetlejuice. 🖤

@@saranagle73 oh definitely another pivotal character in my life! Actresses that have dark hair and eyes in general do the goth vibe so effortlessly. Having those characteristics myself it's like anyone with dark hair and dark eyes was born to be perfectly weird.

1:17, Harry Potter-isms...

It's ARE THEY MADE FROM REAL GIRLSCOUTS? (One of my faves too)

😂

I think they referenced that when she said she eats girl scouts for breakfast in the show lol

@@d.ani.6882 this is true, now that i've seen the show

@@d.ani.6882 thing is though... The OP of this comment said BY CHRISTINA... and the line is as I stated above. If they meant from the SHOW then you're right but.. if that's true, why'd they say BY CHRISTINA....?

It feels very close to a dark Salvador Dali in visual style.

I agree the current one sucks!

@@JPEBeard the current one looks like the original in the comic

@@Scheherasad you're right, that's the reason why he played Gomez.

I loved John Astin in the original series with his fun -loving maniacal glee. Raul was great also, but in a different way.

Hi Jaden, speaking of your ever growing watch list, I find myself watching so many trailers on KZfaq but I never remember to watch them or look for them when they eventually come out! Any advice?

@@maryconsolatakeneema937 LOL i know what you mean. Honestly not sure other then to make a private playlist you can refer back to when you "can't remember" or are looking for something you haven't seen to watch. If its something i really really want to watch as soon as i can i usually remember, but i think this kind of playlist probably will be the easiest to refer back to. Edit: On a side note, if its something already streaming on any streaming platform you have, add it to your watchlist there right away so you don't forget. I usually do this right away too which helps a lot.

lol same, i have to watch the classic to recover from the latest trailer 🤣

Me it sounds very boring

Christopher Lloyd for me was always the stand out star. I would go as far as saying he's the stand out in almost every film I've seen him in

neither did i, she slays every role she does PURRR

I am not the least bit worried about the casting...great cast! What worries me is the writing and directing. I worry about the wholesomeness and message of acceptance being lost under the guidance of Burton.

@@subliminalblip7400 Honestly, I think this series will be fine under Burton’s direction. I always used to wonder why he didn’t do either of the original movies. Regardless, this is more his lane anyway.

They do look vaguely similar. I could see a young Ricci growing up to look more like Ortega.

@@sneakykamon Barry Sonnenfeld did a great job, I don't think Tim could have done it better.

Have to agree. Can't compare across generations like that effectively. This was amazing, though. I mean... 'that dance', LOL! Absolutely stunning. The... the 'dramatic pauses' made it what it was - you were literally hanging on the edge of your seat to see what element was brought out next... and it was just crushing when it ended. Eh, and don't get me started on the cello. Moved you at your soul level.

The original? Oh right...Lisa Loring from 1964.

Actually you can. Wednesday in the original series was a pretty thin character. They didn't do much with her. It was the 90s movies that went back to the original comic strip, pulled ideas and then re-invented the character. If I had a Criticism of both the 90s movies and the current Wednesday, its how Lurch has been forgotten and relegated to the side. Lurch was what made the original TV who pop!. You ask any old generation what they love about the original TV show, Lurch is usually the answer. Tim should have brought back the original Lurch for a couple of episodes or even for the pilot (as Wednesday is settling in). It would have been a great contrast to Wednesday.

@@TheJTcreate yeah, really good point about Lurch. When I was in sixth grade and growing into my (back then) stick frame, kids said I walked like Lurch, and with an unnaturally deep voice, the monnicker stuck for a long, long, long time.

I fancy jenna so hard now after watching Wednesday

nb: this is the one context where it actually should be "affect".

@@peterrose5373 Thanks, edited.

Her face too.

Mm hmm, the new girl's too dry. Lines don't come across...

@@greenonions5296 i say Jenna's eyes are full of emotions, it's like when extrovert try to be introvert but their eyes speaks for themselves which is why I also couldn't take her seriously as Wednesday

I had the same thought

Considering they're keeping her character a secret I think she's more than a teacher. I'm wondering if they're going to pull a marvel. And it turns out Christina Ricci is a grown Wednesday from another multiverse.

@@shaunaddams2163 She just said she doesnt play Wednesday. Marvel is lame asf!

Or the principal ❤️😁

Or the bad guy

Not dissing Zeta-Jones, I think Tim Burton should've cast Christina back as Morticia. Makes perfect sense.

Yup! Kudos to those writers...they will be missed.

i think we will see Christina Ricci's Wednesday as older Wednesday via crystal ball

To me it's the deadpan delivery of Ricci that made this so iconic, she literally seems completely emotionaless and dead inside. Perhaps this new girl is going to be awesome too, but I can totally imagine this girl smiling and laughing, where with Ricci's Wednesday she really sold that dead inside vibe. Also she radiated that disgust so perfectly, you literally felt it was a chore for her to socailly interact and that she just (barely) tolerated people.

@@brabbelbeest You've summed it up perfectly.

@@brabbelbeest I genuinely feel like the new Wednesday has already smiled more than Christina's Wednesday and it was only a trailer, that was the only thing that killed it for me but I'll give it a watch and see, but your spot on.

Best thing Netflix has released in so long I love it

She got it from her momma.

Nah tish

Nah its more woke trash with cringe lines

Apart from that SJW crap. She's my spirit animal

@@konicironman8191 Boom. I like that dark shite in it though. She's dark like me.

this is why she should come and back and play our older Wednesday "from the future"

Always loved the way she delivered the lines, especially the bit with the girl scout from the first movie: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/leBzgpebmbPWqHk.html

Adult Wednesday Addams is sooo slept on! The actress who played her later came up with a comedy called Wolfgirl, which was also pretty entertaining, but it seems like none of the studios wanted it 😔

Studios in general have become more and more negative towards fan projects in recent years. They feel as if somehow the fan films will hurt the license versus keeping it alive. Disney and CBS are bad about that regarding Star Wars and Star Trek as they shut down pretty much all fan films once new official projects were being worked on, especially in the case of Star Trek.

@@alucard624 It's mostly because of what I pointed out, they don't understand the material, to the studios it's just another money project, to the Fans it's an institution with a history. Cross the fans, show no respect for the source material and you will fail. Thunderbirds. A wildly popular series in 1965. John Frakes of Star Trek directed a movie reboot in 2004, it bombed. Why? Even though Director Frakes represented himself as a fan of the series, he didn't give the Fans Thunderbirds. He gave them "Spy Kids" instead. 7 of the 8 members of the Tracy family, AND their chief scientist engineer were sidelined for 99% of the film to focus on the youngest member of the family, teaming up with two other teens and assisted for far too short a time by Lady Penelope, and Parker. The Tech which was the biggest draw of the series originally was on screen for only moments. It was ALL there, EVERYTHING the fans wanted, BUT Frakes, who claimed fandom DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT MADE THE SERIES SO POPULAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. And so... He blew it. Flash Forward 11 years to 2015, and the rebooted series "Thunderbirds Are GO". The Tech is updated, ALL the major characters are there, Homages are made to the original series [spot the orange juicer] and the scripts are full of action and suspense, just like the original. One relatively passive and dated female character from the original series is removed, and replaced with a more up-to-date- version who is PART OF THE TEAM, Not overshadowing, or replacing the team and you have a very successful series [The original ran for two seasons, the reboot for THREE]. Again, ALL the elements were there INCLUDING involvement from the creative staff of the original series AND a cameo episode starring the voice of the ORIGINAL lady Penelope, Sylvia Anderson. Result, HIT SHOW. Compare for YOURSELF the three versions of the series and you can CLEARLY see the recipe for success for ANY fan based show, and it can all be summed up in a couple of words, RESEARCH, and RESPECT. There is absolutely NO reason for these fan driven franchises to fail. They FAIL because of the arrogance, and ignorance of people who THINK they know better than the people who MADE the show successful in the first place.

Melissa Hunter. Absolutely brilliant.

Adult Wednesday Addams was so good!

Respectfully disagree. Jenna's Wednesday was nothing but an angry goth girl with mommy issues. Also she was all bark and no bite the entire show.

Nahhh sorry to say this but have you even watched previous shows or even the original one, it's no near comparison. Jenna isn't the best actress ( watched "you" the series and she also didnt do the best job on her character, she was just very bratty and i cant even remember her parts in the show) I believe there were better but that's just my opinion. Christina played the role 10 times better, the change of character didn't do the new Wednesday any good. It's just lacking in acting and she diverged too much from the original character which is sad cause there's lots of 90s kids who could identify with her, and now it's so dissapointing watching this new series for sure, only watched 1 and 2 eps and I turned it off, the production was not the best either idk nothing really made sense or connected for me sadly.

@@bluebutterfly4308 very bratty? when you only watched 1-2 episodes, your statement isn't really a valid one

@abstractperfection8168 I've watched all the show of "You" so maybe that was her character idk ,I didn't like her acting that's all I'm saying ,people have narrow minded point of view of what good acting is lol if you just watched western movies and Netflix shows, just saying 😁😃

@@bluebutterfly4308 you and wednesday are entirely different show, you can't just say all of it is bad just because one show is "bad" to you

I suppose she's not going to kill cousin It

@@Alexagrigorieff christina ricci is gonna be uncle fester :)

@@brayanisrael9175 in you're dreams

She is 37 now. Makes sense why they can't cast her as a young Wednesday.

@John Bryer i was talking about Adult Wednesday. The actress is 37 now. The Netflix one is a teenager.

@John Bryer It's also said that some men do become adults mentally at some point.

@John Bryer Oh that's alright, I'll explain then. You were saying that you heard women don't become mentally adult before the age of 25 years old. I don't know where you heard that, but on a psychological and neurological standpoint, girls mature faster than boys. Scientifically speaking, it's been proven that their amygdala and pre-frontal cortex are more developed than those of boys. Most parents can also tell you, if they've had both boys and girls, that little girls become adults, and are interested in being treated as adults quite quickly compared to little boys. My comment was a joke, using your own comment as a basis. If girls become mature at 25, I was saying that then, most boys never become mature at all, ever. But it's been heard that some do. Of course, the reality is that although women mature more quickly if we measure maturity by normal standards of responsibility, critical thinking, autonomy, and things like that, there are probably as many adult men and women who are mature and immature. It's just that women tend to get there faster than men.

@John Bryer Haha, ok got it. As you say it is sometimes hard to get jokes online, especially sarcasm! Since the tone is generally missing from online text, many things are misinterpreted. I am personally sure some people would say what you said without joking though! Well, that's that. Have a very nice weekend, and may your online wanderings grant you what you seek in them, however small it may be. Small things are sometimes the most significant ones!

I was hoping she would be the head mistress of Nevermore Academy but it turns out not to be the case so I guess will will have to wait and see.

On IMDb, she's listed as being in all 8 episodes, but character unnamed. ;)

I was going to say that she's too young to play Morticia, but she's actually not. 🤔 But she still doesn't have the svelte look that is required for the character.

@@breadfan_85 she's definitely too short to play morticia though

Eva Green would have made an amazing Morticia.

Poor person living life in the past is what's wrong with ppl these days the vibe on this movie is amazing

Exactly what I as saying also.. the little girl in Addams family values looks too perfect for the role and her facial expression and the dark energy she had was natural .. this new wednessday doesn’t look dark she looks more of plummy and rosy

@@marymary4005 I agree. Christina Ricci has a natural, unusual look.

have u watched the new wednesday? hahahahahaha Mygod it was so good

For me Jenna Ortega was the most satisfying than Christina. Sometimes Christina looks she's about to laugh

It's a series not a movie.

YES. Raul did great. John is a good comic actor and was great on the original series, which was a sitcom. I know it wouldn't be original, but could the Addams and the Munsters meet? Maybe have Marilyn attend the school, too and befriend Wendy, since she would understand Wednesday's family.

W

Mine too!

Jennas Wednesday seems too much of a spoilt brat to me

Ayyyy thi comment aged well :P love you homie

The dance at the Rav'N was awesome.

💯

She did great. You can almost tell Christina has inspiration on this performance. It's like these Wednesday characters are almost twins!! 😂

I agree, Jenna brings a new vibe to the character along with the old

she even smiles in this, which Christina never got to do

Now that I’m sure you’ve seen it, what did you think? I didn’t mind Luis Guzman as Gomez, but I found Morticia to be forgettable.

Shes so damn fine ,this was an awesome Cameo
