Watching The Addams Family 2 (2021) and like, your main climax cannot hinge on the Addamses genuinely fearing death, y'all!!!
They are the ADDAMS FAMILY! At least 2 of them are dead at any given time! Pugsley died for 3 hours just last Tuesday! Fester has 5 necromancers on speed dial and it is unclear if he is dating one of them or one of their undead clients! It is unclear if Morticia is a vampire! Lurch is probably a zombie! Grandmama keeps resurrection tablets next to the Pepto in the medicine cabinet!!
All this is just off the top of my head - this isn't hard! Get it TOGETHER, YOU MINION-ASS ANIMATION STUDIO THIS WHOLE MOVIE WAS WEAK AND YOU ARE WEAK
I WILL SWORDFIGHT YOU AND WEAR A PINSTRIPE SUIT, AND THE UNEDITED FOOTAGE OF THAT FIGHT WILL MAKE FOR A BETTER ADDAMS FAMILY MOVIE THAN THIS SOULLESS SACK OF A FILM
#original#the addams family#like it's not the worst movie I've seen but then I remember the 1991 Addams Family movie and I'm like holy shit#how do you fuck that up that bad#this should not be difficult to do right The Addams Family is interesting even when they're written by someone mediocre#but this was just bad writing that probably got boardroomed to death by the studio#also does anyone else find this animation style really really unpleasant to look at? not quite as bad as The Lorax but almost identical#also the fucking product placement in this sucks so bad. it is not subtle it is not blending#this was just so badly written#the first movie was actually okay. mostly because of the creative animation. but this one didn't even have much of that.#also rip to the voice acting industry. I like most of these actors but there's no reason they had to be in this film#instead of real voice actors#fuckin pugsley at the end of the film going like huh what?? wednesday is gonna do me violence???#like my dude you are pugsley addams read the wiki page ffs#also the fact that they set up this idea that your family is chosen and not by blood was really cool but then#at the end they're like oh no just kidding#blood is most important and we are absolutely wasting what was actually a very cool concept#so many talented people went to school for animation and then had to animate this horse shit#I was having a thoroughly mediocre okay time until the very end there when they really just shat the bed on their theming#which like Jesus Christ can you please just be obviously a bad movie at the start so I don't get invested??#also the entire previous movie was very specifically about Wednesday making a friend and she isn't even mentioned in this movie#why do all the work of establishing an enjoyable canon and then just leave it in the dirt??#and Wednesday is once again the protagonist which is fine but it makes it extra weird that there is no indication#of the arc that the entire previous movie was about. is it cuz it was too gay? or is it just plain incompetence?#maybe it's homophobia. maybe it's maybelline.
