the modern destruction of gothic cinema #1

personally i think theres nothing worse than some cheap ass modern adaptation of already great movies. i mean look at me, ive come back to tumblr JUST to complain because im so sick of this.

So lets talk about the new wednesday addams. and stay with me - we will go over some points..... (and i dont care that it has been two years-my hate has no timeline)

wednesday

since the 40s comic the addams family was created, there were various films and tv series made and in my opinion the best actress that played wednesday was christina ricci, i mean she just had the perfect facial expressions to make her one little miserable child and i bought it

and hear me out i was excited to hear that there would be a new version, completely focusing on wednesday i mean ive been watching all the media that was ever created of the addams family since i was a child so my expectations were high.

originally wednesday is this emotionally reserved, morbid child that loves the macabre so i fail to understand why they made her some modern 2024 angsty teen?

like i look at her and i see smn that consumed the addams family lore and then decided to change their whole personality and looks just based on the media they consumed, its just playing dress up at this point, "goth" girl meets bootleg monster high.

i mean PLEASE im begging you why cant i have ONE character that doesnt give me the try hard vibes à la: im not like other girls - non-chalant - my lore is too miserable for you to understand - youre not as deep as me. absolutely horrible..

i want some proper weird girl that gets actually misunderstood with quirks and dislikes! am i asking for too much?!

also enough with the kubrik stare.

like you cant just have the kubrik stare throughout the full show in order to make u look more manic i mean, christina ricci always looked either bored, displeased or annoyed and thats what i was expecting, it felt real. who actually f*cking walks around with the kubrik stare? no one.

and (spoiler alert) what the f*ck is up with the visions? where did they come from? after years and years of this character existing - without some supernatural powers- they thought wednesday needed the sight? this is so absurd. and even if she misteriously got these powers, do you really think she wouldnt be able to master them?

storyline

i mean what kind of garbage is that? it feels like a childrens show with teenage drama? was the target audience 10 year olds???? i mean COME ON. the whole thing was a disney-esque storyline with some sprinkles of edgyness. the whole thing was incoherent and dont even get me started on the fillers...

and please - what is this horrible cgi monster it is the goofiest thing ive ever seen

morticia and gomez

yes the show revolves around wednesday but i cant talk about the addams family without mentioning the iconic lovers morticia and gomez....and THE COMPLETE LACK OF CHEMISTRY THEY HAD

and again was the budget nonexistent or why did they do my girl morticia so dirty for the love of god smn give her proper MAKEUP

it just so incredibly disappointing to see that essence of the addams family is just gone, they were supposed to be a dark weird family with their backwards reality and all we got now is a wish version of it

this was a opportunity to make smth great and now its nothing more than a kids show with a tragic teen drama so thank you netflix for another miserarble show. supporting the complete and utter destruction of originality and creativity.
