Why I don't like "Wednesday" the new Netflix series

Now, I was really hoping to not have anything negative to say about the new Wednesday series because I absolutely love The Addams Family and I love Tim Burton (bonus points if the music is by Danny Elfman which 98% of the time it is) but there were many problems I had with the series and I'm just going to talk about why.

1: They ruined Wednesday's relationship with her mother

I don't know about in the comics but in the original show, and the two movies (we do NOT count the abomination of those animated movies that came out recently) but Wednesday was always close with her mother, they complimented each other, and she looked up to Morticia and wanted to be like her. BUT FOR SOME REASON in the show Wednesday all of a sudden, hates (or at least it's shown that way) Morticia and says things like "I am nothing like you" "I don't want to be like you" even down to not having a romantic side like her mother using the same nicknames (like in the movie with the nerd) and I get that she's a teenager, but like that was a big part of her character imo.

2: The parents are godawfully annoying

They probably did this for the very reason that the show is called Wednesday and it's probably trying to get us to see through Wednesday's p.o.v so she'd find them annoying but like, their love being so sweet and genuine was one of the best parts in the show that was more for the older kids and adults to enjoy, and Wednesday ONLY SHOWED THAT IN THEIR FLASHBACK.

3: The show took away what The Addams were all about

The Addams were like outcasts to the "Normies" as the show likes to call them. And having Wednesday go to a school where she "fits in" because she really wasn't and outcast to the outcasts no matter what the show tries to trick you, but if she went to a "Normies" school instead of being expelled like in the first episode she could have been the Wednesday that the real Addams Family fans know and love.

4: The didn't even add one of the best characters from the movies

Joel (if I am getting that right) was such a cute addition to the movie, the dynamic that he had with Wednesday because they were such opposites were the highlights to the movie. He was a nerdy kid that liked to be alone, and she just liked to be alone. But I was pretty disappointed that they didn't choose to add him in and instead had the Coffee shop boy and Painter as love interests (I'm not going to include Wolfgirl since she isn't cannon to liking Wednesday, and she's too fucking annoying for me to handle)

5: Our classic Wednesday & Pugsley duo

I mean like how could you separate these two? and IK that Wolfgirl could be a (possible) substitute for the absence of Pugsley, but it is very disappointing to not see the duo back at it creeping out other kids and even plotting things against their friends/family but that was definitely a lose

6: They really shouldn't have had Wednesday go to a Walmart version of Monster High

One of the things that made The Addams Family THE ADDAMS FAMILY was the fact that they were just a family, like others but they were just different. Which is why the lyrics were

"They're creepy and they're kooky Mysterious and spooky They're all together ooky The Addams family

Their house is a museum When people come to see 'em They really are a screaming The Addams family"

And I KNOW that this is just a different adaptation but how can you call it The Addams Family when you basically have her like EVERY OTHER CHARACTER SHE INTERACTS WITH. it just ruined that part, and she should have never been expelled for that piranha incident.

7: I'm not completely on board with the supernatural aspects

Actually, for this one I'm not really talking about her visions (don't get me wrong that whole aspect was definitely weird at first but I'm talking about Wolfgirl, Siren, Duce, Telekinesis boy, and maybe even painter boy (who I'm pretty sure is just like the nerd but anyways). Because The Addams WEREN'T ABOUT THAT they were about creeping other people out and I get that they had other friends like cousin IT and the kid WHAT but those were just tiny aspects, and they were rarely part of the movies and mostly there for parties. It just makes no sense for there to be a bunch of outcasts for THE ADDAMS FAMILY

Aside from those major things the more problems I have are with the other characters that she interacts with, mostly Wolfgirl that one really annoyed me Siren was more of a disagreement Wednesday had at the beginning but then got along with afterwards and she was pretty interesting.

I didn't entirely like the whole Monster Killer reveal, and how predictable it was or that whole grooming scenario but that whole storyline was more for the plot than anything.

but there are things I did like about the show:

Walmart Duce and Wolfgirls relationship (weather romance or not the puppy love is cute)

I like when they make Wednesday, Wednesday like how she enjoys digging up graves, or doesn't cry, or show affection

I did like the Coffee Shop kid and honestly, I think he needs help from Wednesday. He was after all groomed by that teacher (when I tell you I gaged watched that scene, I mean it) and she did use his mother against him and controlled him until he gave in which is really sad and I want Wednesday to help him

I did like painterboy too, he became pretty stiff afterwards but if they give him more development that'll be nice to see him interact with Wednesday (she seems to care for him at some extent to jump infront of the arrow for him)

I like Siren girl and the Mayors son, I want to see more interactions from them

THAT MORTICIA AND GOMEZ FLASHBACK IS EVERYTHING TO ME IK THAT WHOLE STORY WAS SO FREAKING PREDICTABLE BUT DAMN THE FACT THAT HE GOT ARRESTED FOR HER MADE MY HEART SKIP A BEAT

I did like the sheriff, IK he was an asshole to the Addams at first, but I liked when they finally made amends

Coffee shop kid and Wednesday's first date was pretty cute, but it would be 1000000000000x better with summercamp nerd

Me: Some of us, and I’m not naming names, make the fandom a pretty toxic place by shitting on other people and not coexisting with other ships.

Wyler/Weyler: Is it me?

Me: No.

Wenclair: Is it me?

Me: Well it’s not Wyler/Weyler.

[the-oddest-inkling]

I am not completely against Wenclair as a ship per say, but I find them being best friends more meaningful. Just let friends be friends. Not everything has to be gay.

wenclair can’t happen, i’ve learned since watching the fallout that i can’t handle jenna ortega kissing women

Weems: For our new anti-terror-safety class, you will defuse a fake bomb as a partner exercise. You have to be in sync on this.

Wednesday: Why would anyone want to defuse a bomb?

Enid: Focus, Wednesday. I think I got this. On the count of three, we will each cut our grey wires. One, two-

Wednesday: Wait, wait, wait. Grey wire? I only have green, red and yellow.

Enid: That’s weird. I have light grey, medium grey and dark grey.

Wednesday: Enid, are you colour blind?

Enid: Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.

Wednesday: Is that the reason you are dressed like that?

Enid: What do you mean? We are dressed the same.

Wednesday: Enid, my dear, my heart, my soul, my love. Don’t you ever say such a mean thing to me ever again. That was totally uncalled for.

Weems, glaring at her students: You answered your career path seriously, right?

[All the students' heads bowed, trying not look her in the eye]

Weems: I'll check it right here.

Weems: [pulls out Kent's, Career choice: High School Student] See, I know it! This is what I'm talking about! I begging you, take this seriously!

Weems: [pulls out Eugene's, Career choice: be science adventurer] Which one?!

Weems: [pulls out Xavier's, Career choice: be Wednesday's husband] Try be realistic here!

Weems: [pulls out Ajax', Career choice: don't want to be a doctor] Then don't write anything down!

Weems: [pulls out Yoko's, Career choice: have Harem of Girls] Gross! Pervert! Why will you write that down!?

Weems: [pulls out Divina's, Career choice: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯] Huh?!

Weems: [pulls out Bianca's, Career choice: get a beloved mother] Get therepy, not a new mom!

Weems: [pulls out Enid's, Career choice: be Wednesday's mistress] Why not just marry her?!

Weems: [pulls out Wednesday's, Career choice: become successful author][flip over the desk] Make a joke!

Hello,fandom blogger.In front of you is a character who is blonde.You must talk about them without reducing them down to their hair color or referencing it in a way that's not actually applicable to them.You have 5 minutes before the Saw Trap goes off

Why do people forget that Tyler took Wednesday on that "romantic" horror film date in the crypt to distract her while Thornhill ransacked her room and stabbed Thing.

Everything he did was to manipulate her into a false sense of safety so their outcast hating bigot asses could complete their plan.

Tyler was shown to hate outcasts before Thornhill even entered the picture. The nice guy act was a ruse.

How very romantic.

Merry Christmas.

Unpopular opinion: I don't like the new Wednesday series despite me being very excited when I first heard about it, and I despise the fandom of it already

[sissytobitch10seconds]

So has anyone else had the realization that wenclair doesn’t work/feels awkward when written because Enid is literally just Wednesday’s opposite? Poor girl doesn’t have a personality outside of being everything Wednesday doesn’t like.

Wednesday: In the end, my boyfriend became my arch enemy, my arch enemy became my best friend, and my best friend became my girlfriend. But, alas, that's high school.
