Fun fact if y’all didn’t notice, Christina Ricci who played Wednesday in the 90s Addam’s Family movies plays the teacher with the red hair and glasses.
@@nobodyimportentl0l301 True, but I was so excited when I heard this show was coming out months ago that I stayed looking at the cast ahead of time 😂 So I already knew Christina was in it and I was super excited. But yeah, if I hadn’t know she was in the show ahead of time, I probably wouldn’t have recognized her either.
Jenna Ortega is killing this role. For the record, she did most of her stunts, she learned to play on cello, learned the fencing and fighting too, and some other things you'll see later. She choreographed a whole scene in episode 4.
About the typewriter. Many authors love using typewriters over a computer because of the feel. It also makes you stay focused because you can't undo mistakes. Makes you think about what your typing very carefully so you don't have to retype the whole page again.
The Addams family may be somewhat out of character, but I've never watched the old movie so it's pretty alright. I'm still kinda mad for getting gay-baited, but that's about it.
@@soroep8234 gay baited? Where? You mean between her and her roommates?, Not to be rude anything, but they were literally just roommates. But I will admit that there was more chemistry between them than any of her boring love interest, it is still made clear that they were not gay baiting whatsoever. They just vibe to better. If they decide to make them gay in the future, that's fine, but they honestly can't see how she was a better love interest for Wednesday at all. In fact, I don't think Wednesday is even interested that much in love to begin with.
@@cloberlobster2276Wednesday is not interested in love I would explain in more detail but it would be spoilers. Even the actor herself said in a interview she wants the next season to be even darker and her character to be more of a anti hero.
Jenna Ortega is the perfect Wednesday. Show was entertaining asf too. It’s definitely getting a 2nd season after breaking Stranger Things’s record. Only complaint I have is get rid of the love interests. Wednesday doesn’t need them and it felt forced. Other than that the show was fire. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more.
@@zerenityzerene4410 It's the role they were given. The actors did a fine job, but the lines they got made them come off as regular parents rather than Addams. They might've needed to enunciate more too though. Not too big of a deal since they were barely relevant in the show. Could've even removed them altogether after the first episode, and had any two other characters do their parts in the past, and it would've worked all the same. Maybe even better.
@@silverstone9836 this one seems to be teen wednesday instead of child wednesday from the addams family we once knew so they probably changed growing up.
I expected it to be a super corny, stereotypical teen series and there were some elements of that but I was so pleasantly surprised! I binged it in one night lol. Stoked you guys are watching 😊
@@Jaykurosakiii didnt mind it only because wednesday is not the stereotypical girl in a love triangle, so its funny watching her disregard their feelings 😂 but also its cute watching her learn to care in her own way. Also the LI’s have a legit reason to not like each other that doesn’t involve wednesday so I appreciate that. Im team tyler all the way tho xavier irks my soui
One of the best things about this series is that Wednesday finally has equals around her. In all the previous portrayals, it was always the Addams against the world, where the kooky family always managed to outweird everyone else. But in this school, everyone is weird, and Wednesday isn't scaring anyone just by being who she is. That makes for a much more interesting dynamic.
@@jeffreybooysen6389 the series is 58 years old, that would make no sense. I'm talking about the *original* original addams family, as in the 1964 TV adaptation
They gave Jenna Ortega a good amount of creative influence in the show, my personal favorite decision she made is that Wednesday does not blink unless she’s very uncomfortable. She blinks maybe an average of twice an episode, otherwise she just stares blankly. There’s a lot of acting done with her eyes.
i love this show, she did such an amazing job and she has to learn how to not blink so much. i’ve already finished the season, i can’t wait for the next season. favorite part in the whole season all i’m gonna say is the dancing part. i like xavier a lot, he’s not weird at all he tries to be nice, and if you noticed the teacher with the glasses she’s the real wednesday from the other one.
When they were filming the show, Jenna didn’t blink in one of the scenes and Tim liked it, so he told her to keep doing that. So you’ll see that Wednesday never blinks, except when she’s caught off guard or uncomfortable
So glad to see y’all react to Wednesday! At first, I wasn’t really sure what to make of this show as the trailers that were shown gave me CW vibes to where it left me on the fence. Once it came out & binged it, I absolutely fell in love with the show to where I wanted more! Plus, Jenna Ortega nails Wednesday’s character so much that it just shows how great an actress she is!
I wonder if you’ve heard of a new Kdrama called “weak hero class 1”. It’s centred around bullying and quite popular at the moment. I think you guys would really enjoy it!
This show is honestly really great, and is a perfect retooling of the Addams Family canon. This and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (maybe minus the series finale) are great ways of taking existing source material and updating them for modern audiences. Whether or not you're into the romantic elements will vary, but it does excellently at weaving a larger mystery with moments of supernatural intrigue.
I'm such a clown. I saw you upload on Patreon days ago, remembered that the first episode is pretty long, and thought "I'll just wait until they put the edit up on RU-vid" -- 20 seconds in and I'm like "Nah, I wanna see them reacting to this whole thing" and jumped back over to Patreon lol
The actors did an amazing job and Tim burton made the Addams family exactly like the old one except for dark and gritty and I’m here for it, hope y’all like the show 👍🏽
did he? i wasnt much a fan of the characterizations of them no longer being a very accepting and great family, even just 5 min in and it felt like family drama, especially with them being shocked about stuff wednesday does, which i feel goes against who they are even in the original comics
That...that is literally how you are supposed to apply a bandaid.. they arnt just to cover the wound but they hold the cut skin together so it heals faster. Putting it on any other way is as effective as taping a paper towel over it
That’s actually the proper way of putting a band aid on. It helps close the wound better and puts the actual medicinal pad over the deepest part of the wound more accurately.
Fun fact, the teacher who gave Wednesday the flower is Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in the two live-action Addams Family movies from the early 1990s (which also starred Raul Julia as Gomez, Anjelica Huston as Morticia and Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester). Ricci also worked with Tim Burton in Sleepy Hollow (1999)
I know you guys do these watches in advance, but the piranhas most likely are taken directly from their own personal aquarium. The Addams Family has all kinds of fun stuff in their own house, from dynamite to poisons. Probably pet piranhas for Gomez weekly skin peeling.
FINALLY a live action show. with this and the movies i will be a patron again....in jan (unless i have some extra) cause daddy got some shopping to do. but janny brings that 9 percent raise baby!
Wednesday was named after her mother's favorite nursery rhyme, The nursery rhyme is the name of the episode the rhyme means Wednesday is a troublemakers.
Fun fact: Piranhas are indeed scavengers, they only eat things that are dead, they are so much of a scavenger fish that you could be in the middle of feeding frenzy and not be touched at all, you might receive small bites, but not really devastating bleeding bites.
Fish/Aquarium stores can sell and people can own red bellied piranhas in the US, as long as it is not outlawed by the state. Incidentally, Vermont - the state where Wednesday is supposed to be set - it is legal to own one and they're about 20 bucks at least. LOL.
Yes! finally, the show was actually great. I thought you guys wouldn't going react to this type of show but then I remember you guys actually watched she-hulk 😂 and please include lupa-san in the next ep.
This is such a great show!!!! I was so surprised to see you reacting to it but I'm so glad that you are!! I binged this in 1 night, didn't sleep at all! Worked in the morning with super tired eyes but everything was worth it! Hahaha
"Where did she get the piranhas?" dude.... it's the Addams universe... Morticia grows carnivorous plants, Lurch tends a garden of sentient thorns, and they have a reanimated severed hand as a servant/slash/familiar. they probably breed piranhas in their garden pool!
I really enjoyed Wednesday, in my opinion it's actually a pretty good series. My favorite episode is 4 so im very excited that y'all are finally reacting to it!
Roshi - as far as how Morticia reacted to Wednesday's comment about not having a heart, remember that the Addams' tend to react to those kinds of comments from people positively. They basically work the opposite of regular people - they view cheerful, bright things as horrible and dark, brooding things as uplifting. Their attitudes are flipped but their intentions are good. (Also they may be immortal? That was always a running gag in the movies, that they'd be "killed" but come back. Pugsley used to get killed all the time.)
I enjoyed this show so much binged it and finished it in two days. Not gonna lie I think...Thing was my favorite 🤣. Trying to hold on to the bed was f* hilarious.
