Wednesday (TV series)

#1

Post by Heroine of the Dragon » Mon Dec 12, 2022 5:39 am

Have you watched this series yet?
What has been your favourite episode?

Wednesday is expelled from her school after dumping live piranhas into the school's pool in retaliation for the boys' water polo team bullying her brother Pugsley. This leads her parents, Gomez and Morticia Addams, to enroll her at their high school alma mater, Nevermore Academy in the town of Jericho, Vermont, a private school for monstrous outcasts. Wednesday's cold, emotionless personality and her defiant nature make it difficult for her to connect with her schoolmates and cause her to run afoul of the school's principal. However, she discovers she has inherited her mother's psychic abilities which allow her to solve a local murder mystery.

Happiest faerie of VGF.

Wait, since when did Morticia have psychic abilities?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^...I mean, Morticia leads the séance in the first movie. Clearly she's cultivating her oogedy-boogedy extra-sensory biz, and even if she's more lucky than right in this instance, it still feels like more than a coincidence that Fester shows up. I don't know----------maybe I need to watch it over again.

What's your definition of 'psychic ability'? Doesn't it count even if someone is more of a Miss Cleo than a Jean Grey?

Seance stuff seems more in line with spiritual powers. Think Alakazam and Gengar, kinda I guess.

So your argument is that Morticia isn't really a psychic----------she's more like Alakazam.

...one of us is silly, and I think it might be you.

Haha, I mean more like Gengar, but, like, not a ghost. Hm...that analogy didn't work as well as I thought.

I know it looks cute but that one episode of Addams Family I ordered in scholastic was way better. It was a canned series featuring seniors of the bothers sisters.

This is just "Archie Mysteries" + "Addams Family". I mean why bother? Why drag this out? Why oh why I ask....

I'm about 4 episodes in. I don't know if it's for me yet. Feels a little Teen Nick to me and not in the nostalgic way.

Just give me Danny Devito again.

I'm not remembering Danny Devito ever being in Addam's Family.

Wednesday is an alright show elevated by a good performance by Jenna Ortega.

Hollywood makes nonsense even more worst then a children book. Keep that in mind. Directed by Tim Burton..

The mother of the Addams family is a witch ( she often quotes that term ). However at the same time she seems to be some sorta spider-creature like the boy in "Billy and Mandy", who cousin and father is that way. Again she is a Witch.





In fact Gomez is in fact like his brother a Scientist and continues this effort in "Attack of the KillerTomatoes" Parts 1-4 and the animated tv series.



Dr. GangGreen = Gomez....

Mortisha = Witch = not his wife anymore and or passed away in this series ( since in film we do not use the D word ).

I really don't understand having to explain this, but The Witches & Attack of the Killer Tomatoes are not in the same continuity as The Addams Family.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

If these actors was still around it would be so awesome. In fact since we have a Wednesday/Puglies senior and Jr. ( Addams Family special ) .

Honestly Wednesday and her Anime girl hair is meh

Many actors reprise their roles, literally playing the same parts over and over again.

In the 1980's and 1990's ( even today ) you never hear about divorce in films. Becuase
it is taboo then and is still taboo now. So in films we usually show off such people
as undisirables. Usually writes them out as being dead.

For the Movie "Witches" the point that Mortisha was a "bewitching beauty" and in fact
defended "Witches" many times in the "Addams Family" series, only in this film she
literally plays a "Witch" and comes out as a "Witch" front and center while still
under the diguise of what she truly is. "The Witches" is a movie you must see.
She is now a leader of a feminist type phalantrapist that involves many women
seeking "power".

In "Killer Tomatoes" series Gomez was always doing experiments and playing with electricity.
If not he was literally playing with his brother in all kinds of hazardoues types of situations.
"Killer Tomatoes" writes him in as Dr. Ganggreen who uses the press to manipulate people in
terms of popularity and world domination. If not to fund his Tomatoe experiments. Beyond business
clearly as any retired man with a small business he also wants an "ideal woman", which is stressed
in the series ( including the Animation ). His official mofit was to take over the world via force
using the tomatoes but as the series progresses he settles for less.

Between Mortisha and Gomez they reflect what people do during the later years of their marriage.
It is like ex-military officers making a business out of the military, or a submissive Traditionalist
woman hiding behind the viel of feminism via her small business funded by her boyfriends ( random
guys ) and or husband. In fact if you check out some of the scenes when they show images of "young
ganggreen it is often Gomez photo/still being used ( as with former President Pins ). He is a man
of his generation via the times ( 1980's ).

Gomez rocking scary "Haunted Mansion", hav his over-sexed, man-made, girlfriend with him. Doing his thing
Mortisha on her feminist working woman brainwashing scam artist parade can do it. Mortisha is practically running a Madame CJ Walker sweatshop dedicated
to hunting down "little boys" ( especially men ). Abducting milky boys to have there smooth bodies while
hiding behind their makeup ( literally worlds greatest makeup job ).

As actors they reprise that role in the timeline. Why is it in both series they seem to have past
lives and clearly dictate that but they do not have any past or current lovers alongside them?
Why are they both "single" in the respective series.
