Hello! I had a bunch of audio problems with this video. I tried to fix it as best I could, but apologies in advance if it sounds off in some parts ! Since Jenna will be an executive producer for S2, are you hoping they do anything differently?? I think she’s getting rid of the love triangle which I am ALL for

I still am disgusted by how they made Wednesday “hate” her mother or be mad at her for just existing, and also when her parents show affection to each other. The Addams Family was supposed to be the opposite of the common American family portrait on media, a family that actually loves each other and feels comfortable with each other.

Wednesday considering Legally Blonde as a 'horror' movie because Elle is a girly girl is just totally unrealistic. In reality she would've relate to Elle so much because they are both viewed as the 'weird' ones and are ostracized. Honestly I think it makes more sense to her to view Bambi as a horror movie because of its cutesy stuff and the only part she likes is when Bambi's mom was killed. Also Wednesday being the only goth kid at that school is so unrealistic. There has to be a bunch of Alt fashion kids in there somewhere.

There were only a few problems I had with this show. 1. Wednesday does not need a love interest. 2. Wednesday love her family and would love for them to be accused of murder. 3. Wednesday would love that the one boy she was somewhat interested in was a psycho murdering monster and would be even impressed that he was able to fool her. 4. Pugsley would never be bullied, he is just as crazy as his sister. 5. Not enough of the family dynamic as I wanted. I love the Adam's Family movies.

I really hope that Season 2 will do away with the unnecessary love triangle. Even Jenna has stated that Wednesday doesn't even need a love interest, she's awesome just as she is.

giving wednesday random mommy issues when a huge point of the addams family has always been emphasizing the bond she has with morticia and how close they are is. so dumb? and completely unnecessary???

Tyler and Xavier are interested in Wednesday because she’s pretty and “not like other girls.”

Even though the show has its issues, Jenna isn't one of them. She is a perfect fit for Wednesday, and really shines.

Love how Wednesday is supposed to be the smart girl in the story but she accuses literally everyone until she finally gets the culprit

I don't think Enid's point was to be funny, if anything she nailed the cringy teenage girl thing she had going on and how that contrasts with Wednesday who's gloomy and effortlessly funny because of her deadpan delivery. But yeah, I can see how Enid's writing needs to be improved, they definitely could've done her better.

Goth doesn't mean evil, the Addams family aren't evil murderers, that's not the darkness they seek, they revel in the beauty of tragedy, the beauty of willing sacrifice, of pain and sorrow. It's about seeing the beauty of death and blood and weaponry, of poisons and bondage and melodrama, its about EMBRACING the positives of life THROUGH the negative! The show should clarify this and be consistent about it, yes Wednesday murdering pugsley is a joke as old as they are, but it's about helping pugsley find out the mystery and majesty of death. It's about subversion, that's what goths are, that's what the addams family stands for, light through darkness like the moon. Wednesday has always been the most deadpan family member and her characterization may act as such but she's not a bitch, Wednesday was never a needless bitch to everyone, she only fucked with people who challenged her, and mostly respects although without extreme empathy, the average humans feelings and priorities. Wednesday was never the girl in this show, which is why I can't stand it. Tim Burton just completely missed the point of Addams family in favor of his typical exact flavor of filmmaking, so disappointing. Yes the show is about her feelings but it's done so cringely from what I've seen

It's the Tim Burton effects nobody ever notices his characters are basic as hell

What I don't like is that Wednesday is too much of an "I'm not like other girls" girl came to life... Like her only defining feature is not being the same as everyone else, existing in a fantasy where no other goth/punk/emo/alternative dressing people exist.

Honestly the whole show I was just frustrated how people would constantly say to Wednesday “YOU KNOW IF YOU KEEP BEING MEAN NO ONE WILL WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU, YOU BAD FRIEND” like... that’s the whole point. she didn’t want to be friends with you, so she was purposely mean and didn’t hold back. just because you were nice to her doesn’t make you friends.

i think enid's character has a LOT of potential but im not sure i trust these show writers to recognize that. i think there would be something very interesting about portraying her insecurities better - because when you think about it, this girl (who has some nasty mommy issues, has one hell of a coward as a father, is afraid of rejection, in more than one occasion is shown going through rage outbursts, and uses gossip to get in people's head, like she did with lucas) could very much be a deep well of anger hiding behind a happy sunshine live laugh love front and thats so interesting?? i think they show that sometimes, but definitely dont delve into it. anyways, the writing with this show pisses me off we could have had it all

As an Addams family movies aficionado, the worst parts of the show for me were the dynamics between Wednesday and her family, especially her mom, the portrayal of Pugsley and how cringe Gomez was. I always got the notion that movie Wednesday loved and admired her parents and their very affectionate relationship, to the point where her and Glicker mimicked their expressions and demonstrations of love during that camp breakout scene. Regarding Pugsley, he wasn’t a wimp that needed his sister’s constant protection. If anything, I’ve always considered Pugsley the more dangerous one because he seems so innocent and cute but he does sinister things, like remove a stop sign that leads to major accidents and possible death, all with an adorable and proud smile on his face. Now to the most heinous crime committed by this show: the cringe I felt every time Gomez was on the screen *shudder*. In a show that took itself a bit too seriously, Gomez was protrayed like such a goofy simp with absolutely no charm and I just couldn’t stand it. The connection between him and Morticia felt more like a puppy following its master with its tongue out rather than mutual adoration and love. I get they were trying for something different but they ruined what was my favorite part of what made the Addams family so iconic: the genuine love and devotion within a family unit while accepting each other’s qualities, flaws and kookiness.

the hugging thing bothered me a lot too. Enid is supposed to be such an amazing friend yet she’s always trying push Wednesday’s boundaries. i feel like they should’ve have added Enid hugging Wednesday at the end before Wednesday gave permission. just to show that Enid had grown to respect Wednesday’s boundaries. it was just weird to me, i think physical touch boundaries isn’t something people should compromise on

I was honestly kind of hoping Enid wouldn't wolf out for a while or ever. It didn't feel earned, it just came out of nowhere. Maybe she could be more of an outcast from the werewolves, or find out that there's more to pleasing her mother. Maybe she'll find someone that accepts her.

Bianca was my favorite character. Of course she came off as mean at the very start, but then you see her struggling with herself and things out of her control, and the best part is that later on she shows that she's willing to work towards good things, and she has morals. The actress chosen was also beautiful.

I didnt mind Wednesday opening up to people, i hated that she had to become okay with hugs/contact. There are plenty of folks who dont like hugs/contact and have healthy relationships.

Tyler was annoying for pursuing Wednesday when she didn't reciprocated. He kept trying to make her the bad guy for "giving him mixed signals" which she never did. She's supposed to be "taking advantage of him" by asking him to help her, or being friendly, but I just interpreted it as that; asking a friend for help. And she only goes on a date with him after he says that she's giving him mixed messages. He might have tried to gain her trust and feelings just to make her less suspicious of him, or because he wanted to break her heart, but I think they tried to make it seem like Wednesday needed to learn a lesson for ignoring his feelings, but he was just gaslighting and guilting her into reciprocating the whole time.

It’s so funny how no one gets Tyler’s character right. “He’s simply evil”… his whole lore is based on the Jekyll and Hyde which explores the human duality. Aside from Wednesday, he’s the most interesting character for me.

Thank you!!! Justice for Bianca’s storyline & fashion lol

A good story for Enid would be that she could only transform into stressful situations for her or excessive anger (much tougher scenarios than in the first season), a matter that due to her cheerful personality would make her uncomfortable but would help her learn to accept all her emotions beyond of being "good" or "bad" creating another contrast with Wednesday who prefers not to feel. Sorry, it's not my first language.

Wednesday wouldn't need to come for Pugsley's revenge or rescue, Pugsley is just as crazy as her.

All I would like to add is that the idea of making Crackstone a wizard is not as stupid as you might think. Because it makes him a grade-a hypocrite! Like saying ‘Rules for thee but not for mee’.

the show did the OG Addams family so dirty😭😭😭

I feel that I might've been the only person who wasn’t necessarily against the idea of the love triangle in Wednesday; in fact, I was actually quite fond of the idea. The Addams Family is all about parody, and I was ready to see that similar satirical lens taken to teen drama tropes. Plus, it wouldn’t be the first time Wednesday had a love interest: my man Joel Glicker, token Jewish serial killer fanboy, and his relationship with Wednesday in the Addams Family Values movie was very entertaining. The difference is that not only did Joel have a character, but he lends himself well the comedy of the movie. Joel and Wednesday’s relationship was a parody of summer camp romance plotlines and that concept to delivered a very charming and silly dynamic that had its own open ending as well. I think that’s part of the problem with Wednesday; it takes itself and the tropes it’s engaging with too seriously. The Addams are such a memorable and fun cast of characters because they are intrinsically absurd in their concept: a parody/inversion of the ideal suburban family who thinks everyone around them is weird while they're actually the weird ones. When you remove that silly subversive aspect from them, you remove their core. How fun would this series have been is it (no pun intended) lightened up a bit? If everything wasn’t played so straight, but instead these tropes were used effectively for parody? For example, here’s a suggestion to no in particular that I came up with. What if Wednesday’s interest in Tyler was because she was using him in her teenage rebellion phase? Wednesday doesn’t want to end up like her parents, so maybe she uses her relationship with Tyler as means of rejecting that. In reflection of the girls who date bad boys to get back at their parents’ trope, the comedic subversion is hooking up with Tyler and his boring good boy act and it falls apart because Tyler is actually the exact type of guy that'd fit in with the Addams, an outcast who revels in the joy of making the world just a little worse than where they left it. Maybe her disgust at Tyler killing people isn’t the act per say, but the fact that he’s now boring to her because he likes killing people and he’s just like other boys now, ugh. Like that’s kind of funny, it ties into Wednesday’s teenage angst in regards to her family, and it shows she’s not actually ready for a romance if she perceives it so childishly while keeping the betrayal element intact. Xavier, in comparison, would be the obvious choice for “Addams family candidate”; a tortured artist of a childhood friend who engages in slightly creepy gestures of love like painting her image in his worn-out art shed. He even has psychic abilities like the Addams women do in this show! And it’d work because in the eyes of the audience Xavier clearly supposed to be the Veronica to Tyler's Betty in the beginning (though this is inverted later on) but to Wednesday it would be flipped because Tyler would be the outsider and the "unsafe option" and Xavier wouldn’t be. It's so weird that Xavier and Tyler aren't really foils of one another when that is a staple in love triangle plots. I feel like if you swapped their roles, they wouldn't have very different dialogue. Why don’t you make that contrast more pronounced? It doesn't help that they're not very visually distinguishable from one another like Enid and Wednesday are. Hell, Tyler’s more of a foil to Enid that his actual competition, which is probably why people are more inclined to see Enid as a romantic option for Wednesday than the boys she's actually supposed to have romantic chemistry with. It's kind of unfortunate. Like regardless of how one feels about love triangles, I think we could've had something fun. Anyway, sorry for this super long comment lol. I care a lot about Addams family as you can tell.

What would be REALLY cool, is that they wrote Wednesday as asexual! It would make sense for her character.

The one thing that has always bugged me about the whole piranha scene is that it is so very wrong. Contrary to Hollywood movies, piranhas don't even like humans who they perceive as predators and do not even like human flesh. They would only eat human flesh if there was no other option. They like plants, mollusks, worms and insects. On occasion they may ambush a small animal like capybara or a snake. So, the piranhas in the opening sequence would not have gone after the swimmers. Not only because they do no like human flesh but because the chlorine in the pool would have killed them within minutes. They would not have been able to mount an attack because the chlorine would enter their gills and put them in a stupor as the chlorine poisons their blood. I would have thought Wednesday, with her intelligence and blood lust, would know this.

I am so so happy this video was made. These were EXACTLY my thoughts when the show came out. I felt like I was actually going crazy because I thought the show was average!! I did enjoy the watch, but the characters needed soooo much work (except Wednesday lol)

Can we PLEASE talk about how beautiful and amazing the blue/teal? dress that Bianca is wearing??? WOW the actress looks absolutely amazing!! I haven’t watched the show, I’m not a of modernized takes on classics that don’t need the addition to their franchises so I don’t know the actresses name BUT- she’s absolutely GORGEOUS. The stylist team snapped with her😍😍

aside from the characters i just found the entire setting of Wednesday to be boring. it’s supposed to be a school for outcasts but wednesday doesn’t even fit in there, we have enough supernatural school narratives, it’d be so much more fun story wise and visually. one of my favorite scenes is the opening where she dumps the piranhas in the pool. the contrast between her and her environment is so nice and it would’ve been fun to see her fight this old colonizer but also needing to deal with the “regular” people around her

No talks about Bianca! She ep underrated and I love her

Finally someone who said it. Its also so clear how it was a cashgrab, people don’t know but studios will closely watch each other to see what they bring out. Wednesday was a reply on a monsterhigh remake by a different studio. They just placed the Adems Family in there so the story would have some love to stand on. And its so clear to see, it couldve been any other character doing the exact same things.

The way Wednesday’s like for torture and gore and murder is ignored after the first episode never made sense to me

Finally someone who speaks sense! I am an Addams Family and Tim Burton fan and I was so disappointed by this show. It was like it had no idea what it wanted to be.

Wednesday being romantically involved with someone like Tyler or Xavier just doesn’t make sense. They’re clearly trying to do the cliché trope of the emotionless falling for the emotional, if that makes sense. it just doesn’t work for / with Wednesday b/c of who her character is as a person.

I really wanted more of the Nevermore students. That Yoko girl looked so interesting.

Why is it always the case that in every teenage love triangle the two main boys have collectively less charisma and personality than a piecie of dry bread. And at the end of the day it turns out that the heroine has more chemistry with one of her female friends lmao

i wish bianca and wednesday were a more popular ship because I feel like they have more chemistry and a more interesting dynamic than enid and wednesday

I felt the opposite. I thought Tyler with his mom issues, going to therapy yet still being traumatized as a Hyde, his dad, he was the interesting character. Where Xavier came off as a huge incel. Both of them did at times, "Why aren't you acknowledging my feelings for you?!?". Tyler admitting he enjoyed killing, I am hoping this is a true Jekyll / Hyde scenario for Tyler. Where Xavier, I hope he fades into the background. Weems was the best, loved every scene she's in, and they really screwed up killing her off. Making a character with a body count (or cover them up) lends to having the character die at the end of the story, like the mayor, but the character on paper and the actor portraying them can become 2 different people, much like Snape.

Tyler was only fun when he showed his true self. I like him as the psychotic killer who doesn't care about anyone. If used properly, this could be used as a mirror to what Wednesday could become if she doesn't open up, but I doubt this show can handle that kind of maturity.

She didn't solve either of the mysteries. The murder of Garet was just unvailed by her mother and the Crackstone case was unvailed after she had falsely imprisone someone and there was no one left as a suspect. She kinda failed both cases.

I think instead of a love triangle they shouldve had tyler be a friend that wednesday comes to trust who turns out to be the monster, and have xavier pursue her like he does and have wednesday continously reject him because i felt like he treated wednesday more like a fantasy of this not like other girls character he had in his head, rather than as her own person and this wouldve been an interesting thing for wednesday to have deal with. I dont think that the writers wrote xavier like that on purpose but if they had it wouldve been better because then over the course of the season we couldve have growth from xavier giving him an interesting storyline and comedic moments where wednesday repeatedly brutally rejects him with a stone cold face or set traps for him when he tries to approach her room or other places she hangs out. It also gives him a reason to be there so he can help wednesday solve the mystery without having a love triangle that wednesday addams would never participate in.

Honestly the show isn’t silly and weird enough for me to get invested in, it’s just doesn’t have the vibes of the adam’s family that I fell in love with (also it’s too straight lol)

Why wouldn’t they have sent her to nevermore from the start? Why doesn’t pugsly also go?

How cute would it have been though if Wednesday’s “acceptable” form of affection (instead of hugs) became her mother’s little air-kisses? No full-contact, as that seemed like such a jump, but an acknowledgement of intimacy and an acceptance of her mother’s traits which she had previous rebelled against

this show was exactly like the first burton alice in wonderland..bland, unimaginative, with cardboard characters and a finally that makes you go : "does this dude know the source material? wtf is that fight?"

Addressing your point at 45:07- I think Enid rejected her mom’s offers for the camps because she wants to release her wolf on her own terms, instead of her family forcing her to do it when she’s not emotionally ready.

Enids mother offering her "conversion camp" because of her struggle to finally transform was so weird to me 😭 i didnt think it was wildly offensive or something just that the phraising was a lil odd

honestly, in the old adaptations of the Addams family Wednesday was still young, now she's a teenager, so it makes sense for her to get more in touch with emotions like every teenager does. The love triangle was not necessary but she is able to feel love and friendship and hurt, just at a different capacity than others. Its not like her family has a history of no emotion and no love so it does makes sense that she has the slightest amount of it looking at a standpoint that she's a teen now going through very different things.

The main problem is that the bad guy is extremely obvious from chapter one.

Before I watch fully I'd just like to say I've had the same thoughts I feel like the show was kinda bland (specifically Wednesday herself) they sucked the joy out her character from the other iterations and uninspired I can't wait to see ur thoughts on the show

I watched one episode and felt like I was watching Monster High.

Something I hated is that they litteraly killed people and torture people. This show has a contradicting moral thing going on and made no sense

When I watched the series, I didn’t think (and still don’t think) that she was mad because her dad killed someone, she was mad because they didn’t tell her. And even when they did, it wasn’t the full story. At least that’s what I got from the series, but I could be totally wrong tho

One problem with Enid's character has to do with how conversion therapy works in real life compared to how it works in the show. In real life, conversion therapy is a screwed up thing that doesn't work and traumatizes the children involved. In the show, it actually makes sense(assuming that the methods used are not traumatic and do work). It's closer to that of medical intervention rather than discrimination. In essence, they compared her disability to queerness, which is not accurate(And very queerphobic, but that's a whole other conversation). You did bring this up, but I just wanted to talk about it a little more.

I wish Bianca had also been goth/alt. It would have been an interesting foil for Wednesday to have to contend with her outcast status being based on something a little less superficial than ‘she wears black and likes creepy things’.

I wish Bianca’s eyes were more of a normal, beautiful brown shade that still stands out without looking abnormal. She’s a fav character of mine other than Wednesday so I’m hoping next season they flush her out even better and add more dynamics to her character.

the only thing that makes me watch the season 2 is the fact jenna is gonna direct it

I did not care for Enid at all and felt Wednesday had a more interesting dynamic with Bianca. But the white girl is considered more “marketable” .

wednesday makes my blood boil like a soup pot in hell because i dont think either timmy, netflix or someone in the writers room understood the source material at all

I LOVED Tyler. I feel the ending should've been more open-ended, making him a mixed character, because i would LOVE for that to be explored. And his romantic/sexual(???) abuse from Thornhill was completely overlooked, and really heartbreaking. He had the awkward charm of a teenager, but was upbeat enough so Wednesday and him kind of fit strangely together. Even though i agree with Jenna saying Wednesday shouldn't have love interests at all, Xavier was SO BLAND of a character to the point his writing infuriated me. The onscreen chemistry is nonexistent, and I am kinda appalled that he forgave Wednesday after she attempted to brutally torture him. It's some real Y/N shit. My admiration of him might also be because we both have daddy issues lol.

Honestly I was a little bummed that she would be staying in a school away from her family. We know she cares about her family obviously, but it would’ve been so nice if her first willingness to give someone a hug would’ve been puglsy or gomez. Maybe not mortica if they want them to have a more gradual build up to it since Wednesday has that animosity towards her but I’d just like her to interact with them more. The 90’s movies didn’t really go TOO in depth with their relationships to each other so considering how well written Wednesday herself is, I hope we see more of her feelings with her dad & pugsly next season

Apparently this was true for the original as well, but Wednesday being a mary-sue, good at everything with no weaknesses and guys salivating over her, was just annoying to me. Her lack of caring for others opinions can be a weakness in some moments, but it's largely depicted as a strength, because it’s good not to be brought down by other peoples negative opinions about you. You can't have one weakness that's also kind of an admirable strength to the teens that watch your show and expect that to make your character relatable and interesting.

I am absolutely adoring these long character and plot indepth look videos!!

When I first watched Wednesday I initially thought it's obviously made for kids. Youknow just your typical disneychannel/ nickelodeon kind of quirky jokes where you just stare with a blank face. (I thought: the only thing missing now are soundbites of people laughing and clapping) I honestly considered not to continue but I did anyway and I'm pleasantly surprised it didn't turn out to be a kids show, thanks to Jenna. If it wasn't for her, it would've been and it probably would've been unwatchable.

One of my favorite movies is Persepolis, an autobiographical animated film. In it, a girl from Iran has to go to Europe for college because her family is scared for her life, because she's very outspoken, even to the police. But when she's in Europe, she runs into a similar problem- she's too outspoken for the people there too! I would believe that a goth girl was too much for even an outcast monster school, but the series never really reflects on that.

the statement at the beginning about not having seen the original source material is really interesting considering how important it is in the context of this show

the writing in this show is flawed for sure. the addams family feels distant from each other which isn't really in character for them. even most of the newer characters feel like they don't belong in that world. i do like the show, and i hope jenna being an exec producer will help out in season 2

The show’s visuals were good, but the writing was boring and felt like it didn’t want to commit to parody of shitty teen shows, so it just felt like a reskin of riverdale. :/

I want to know more about Bianca, her family story was interesting

love triangle in Wednesday except its enid and bianca instead of tyler and xavier

I agree, and I really think that the premise was interesting and it along with Wednesday was what kept the viewer watching. So I think if they flesh out the characters more for s2 it could really be great

Enid’s character arc was wrapped up by the end of the first season. I mean, talk about a bad writing choice. They should’ve set up more things about her character so we’d have something to explore in Season 2.

they massacred my addams family and turned it into harry potter

Phenomenal video! I especially agreed with Enid’s “Wolf Out” and how she either should’ve transformed halfway or not at all. Thus solidifying the message that Enid doesn’t need to change and can be a hero, exactly as she is. Less of a spectacle, more logic! I will say, I would have loved more screentime with the families (mainly Addams versus Sinclairs versus Barclays). Imagine if the show had explored different family dynamics and advantageously used the Addams as the most functional family model (i.e. loving, communicative, supportive)-alike the source material-since the beginning? Over the course of the season(s), the Addams would have been juxtaposed with everyone else’s dysfunctional families. Wednesday could’ve learned to better interact with all kinds of people, and characters like Enid and Bianca could’ve been exposed to parents who are accepting and nurturing (as a result of getting to know Wednesday). Wednesday slowlyyyy (like, crawling through spider webs at a snail’s pace slow) learning to connect more with people AND indirectly sharing her iconic support system with everyone else. I think it would’ve been bloody engaging! Overall, still looking forward to S2.

Jenna is a good actress but omg when she said she didn't want to copy Cristina Ricci's Wednesday was so cringe to me. EVERYTHING about this new Wednesday wants to emulate Cristina's. The emotionless, the snark, that is not a 'Wednesday" thing it is a "Cristina's Wednesday" thing specifically. Another thing is that I dont know why so much people ship Wednesday and Enid. They had no chemistry even as friends! I didn:t believe their friendship at all! And now people want them to be a couple?? Like what?

I always interpreted her being upset that her father murdered someone because he lied and didn’t tell her about it, didn’t truth her with the details. I never saw it as she was upset he murdered, it was that he didn’t tell her

Here is a question. If Wednesday inherits her power from her mother, why is Goody Addams her teacher? Wouldn't that mean that the power didn't come from her mother, but from her father's side of the family? Are they implying that Gomez took Morticia's last name or......eew. You see what happens when they don't fully explain things?

While Wednesday Season One had issues, I overall enjoyed it and I’m excited to see Season Two and further the development of Wednesday and the rest of the characters. I respectfully disagree with your opinion about the characters being bland, most of the characters have layers we see over the course of Season One. Writers said Wednesday and Enid hugging was a huge step of emotional journey for Wednesday. They’re opposite but they work, Enid admits she has flaws but they’re part of her. Bianca has depth, how she tries to escape her mother and be her own person. Contrast Bianca’s relationship with her mother and Wednesday’s relationship with Morticia. By the end with the reveal of Tyler added more to his character. Hunter said Tyler was gaslighting Wednesday about “signals” and was manipulating her. That date was so Laurel can steal the diary. I look forward to seeing Tyler’s development now it’s out in the open. I think Xavier is interested in Wednesday because she’s not interested in romance. I don’t think him forgiving her is forced. First time there was a time gap and second time she took an arrow for him. Granted, I think Wednesday and Xavier are better as friends. Like Jenna said, not everyone ends up with their crushes and are better as friends. I didn’t mind the potential romance between Wednesday and Tyler as it made the reveal more impactful and made sense that Tyler was manipulating Wednesday. I didn’t like the love triangle, that was too much. Season One has found it’s feet and established and developed the characters. Season Two can continue to expand on that. Jenna said she and the writers want to focus more on horror aspects and move away from romance while allowing Wednesday to be her own individual, which I’m glad about. Wednesday as a series has great potential and from what Jenna said, they’re going to capitalise on that. Writers have plans for at least four seasons, much to look forward to.

I came across your account for the first time today and I’m in love, it’s so satisfying to see a video essayist who talks about characters and themes so well!! I feel like a lot of videos about shows on KZfaq focus on the plot and never on the characters, their motivations, or how they interact within the story. You’ve got such a skill with analyzing themes and I love the way you broke down the questions for each character-it’s really interesting to look at them from that perspective because it points out what’s missing from their portrayals so clearly. Also, I love how you talk about costume design too-it can really say a lot about the characters and connect thematically to their lives!! I’m totally subbing, and can’t wait to see what you talk about next :)

I think Crackstone's thing was that he wanted power, and the outcasts had more than him, so they wanted him gone. When he comes back, he finally has that power that he wanted, and he wants to continue abusing his power for as long as he's conscious, with the added want for revenge on Goody

omg yesss !! i wished bianca got sm more screen time bc she was one of the characters i was invested in. i’m also looking forward to her story in s2

i think yall forget that this version of wednesday is into violence as a form of justice. never once was she characterized in the show to be interested in hurting innocent people. did she let piranha's into the pool? yea, but bc they bullied her brother, not just bc she felt like it. therefore it makes total sense to me that she would be appalled at her dads murder allegations, bc it seemed like gates was innocent or the fact that she doesnt wanna be the schools downfall. shes not evil

Wednesday hated that her dad would keep the murder secret and just knew he wouldn't just do that for no reason, such things

Goodie roll confused me so much, especially since her mother warned her that she is dangerous, and yet she wasnt. Unless this is a plot twist, where goodie wanted to combine with Wednesday, maybe to try take over her body later on? But dven with that there is no motive for goodie to do that.

no because i REALLY wanted to know more about Bianca, i found her interesting and especially during the family visit episode

Well, if he wrote her letters it would make more sense for the story but if there's no iphone they don't get paid for product placement 😂

I really liked the show and Jenna Ortega was brilliant and I love Enid and Wednesday's friendship was what had me hooked. The hug was a huge development that was so well done in terms of character development but that's just my opinion. I love your videos and I love you've stated your opinion but you weren't a toxic troll. Brilliant work, hunny! ❤

I love your analysis videos, I am doing a-level media studies and while your reviews aren't about the specific case studies they have helped me so much. They have definitely improved my understanding of what I should be considering and how to go about explaining as independent parts and as a part of the larger picture.

I absolutely cannot stand this show. Wednesday took out all of the heart and zaniness of the original Addams Family. She is just a super stuck up and selfish character that never has to deal with the consequences of her actions. The faux motger/daughter teenage drama was just silly. Morticia was never the kind of mother that they portrayed here. Basically everything we have known about this family was thrown out the window to set up this husk of a character. I thought Bianca was a better and more sympathetic protagonist that the title named character. I used to love Tim Burton, sadly now his creative spark is only good for aesthetics. Though there was one really good character and that was Eugene. Maybe they can make a Eugene and Bianca show!

Ok, I need to argue about Enid's arc because I've probably read too much into it and her transformation makes total sense to me to happen when it does. You talked about how she could've had to overcome a huge mental block and that is, TO ME, exactly what happens in the show. Let me point out some things established in the show and show the picture that formed to me: - Enid is on all social medias and knows all the gossip; still not invited to inner circle hangouts nor does anyone try to take her attention away from Wednesday. Clearly she's the most common type of outcast: the one that is trying to be included but just isn't for being "too much"; - Is already lonely, immediately tries to get friend support from someone she barely knows and does not seem to like her; - Greatest fear is to be alone forever; - Goes to a date with a boy on a Blue Moon, gets stood up and destroys a car, surprising even herself; - Finally gets the boy she likes, powers immediately start to act up, and it is implied later this happens regularly when they get more intimate; - Only seen having friend hangouts with A Literal Disembodied Hand, no one questions or cares, for better or worse - Nearly gets killed because of Wednesday, but still wants for her to apologize so she can come back to her room, probably not feeling very welcomed by the friend she's staying at; - Transforms only after having at least one close friend, a steady boyfriend and a somewhat friend (Wednesday), only under a Blood Moon and only in the face of a potentially very dangerous situation; those are also the only ones to touch/comfort her after her transformation. To me her arc is pretty clear. She had major anxiety about not ever being able to transform, and therefore being alone; once those fears started to die down and the moon's influence was strong enough, she finally was able to do it. One of the few arcs that actually develops throughout the entire show and gets resolved in a fairly satisfying manner.

I dislike love triangle like when I started watching it I thought It was just mystery, drama and horror because I feel like Wednesday is not type of person to love

I hated the fact that Wednesday was willing to TORTURE Xavier without having cold hard evidence that he has smth to do with the Hyde. Xavier tried to help her so many times and she wanted to repay him by torturing him? i rlly hope Wednesdays character redeems itself after THAT. tho I'm pretty sure theres nothing she can do to redeem herself after that disaster of a scene. I hope Xavier moves on cuz he's too good for Wednesday

The real reason why we need more of her: Bianca's makeup game is on. point.

I like yo think that Enid wolf's out because 1. She has accepted who she is and 2. Even if Wednesday isn't a great friend, she knows Wednesday cares about her in her own way.

I thought I was alone… it was very bland and overly simplistic. However the aesthetic was on point.

Wednesday doesn't need a love interest, all the love plots feels so forced.
