Wednesday Netflix (Spoilers allowed)

Also her family upbringing has twisted her sense of what things are harmful vs pleasurable…though only to a point.

Weds has a fascination with death, but we see she does not want people close to her to die. She delights in some level of torture, but does differentiate between “fun torture” and “punishment torture”.

Probably the most disturbing thing about weds is her clear lack of moral boundaries in pursuit of her goal. She is willing to maim, even kill others to protect her brother from bullying. She is willing to torture Tyler to get at the truth. Yet she is not a psychopath that has zero empathy, it maybe blunted but we can tell she does care about others in her own twisted way. So she at some level understands what she is doing to people…but still does it anyway.

She's an Addams. She's a reflection of our fascination with macabre, dark humor. It's kind of hard to build a psychological profile around that.

Yeah. The way the Addams franchise has evolved, all you can say is its a celebration of being well off the societal path while still being, at least in a fashion, functional.
