Wednesday Netflix (Spoilers allowed)

[Paul Farquhar]

Gordons can certainly be dangerous if not properly trained.

They did actually use this joke in the show: "the gorgon's alive".

Wednesday comes from a family of outcasts, yet she isn't known to have any supernatural capabilities when she is sent to Nevermore - she's been having visions, but keeping them secret. If she weren't, would she still be eligible to attend?

Gomez Addams was a Nevermore student, and he doesn't have any supernatural abilities.

It's more likley Nevermore takes students other expensive private schools want nothing to do with.

Is it more cool or less cool that she did the dance scene with Covid? I want to say more cool. I can't dance anyway but I know I couldn't dance when I had Covid.

Fans aren't happy with Jenna Ortega and Netflix after learning she shot iconic 'Wednesday' scene with COVID-19

Should she have been allowed to shoot the scene at all?

It depends on when she knew, which everyone is, probably wisely, being a little vague about.

A lot of huffing and puffing close to other people's faces? Not cool.

If she just thought "I feel like crap, but my test came back negative, so I will just soldier on through?" Arguably cool. (I mean, I still don't want your cold germs on me, Jenna, but I appreciate you not delaying production.)

If she went with the advice provided by the medical professionals, I have no issue with her.

If those professionals gave bad advice, or felt pressured to give bad advice, or gave good advice and were overruled, I have issues with the production team.

I would wonder about the production team, given how abbreviated and rushed the shooting schedule was.

The proposal is that season 2 will bring in more of the Addams wider family, so on that it wouldnt need to be school based at all, especially now that Weems is dead.
They have all but confirmed that Morticia and Goody Addams are ‘witches’ and that a range of supernatural outcasts live in the world, getting them intergrated with a world that doesnt like them Could be spun out into a couple of seasons
I’ve seen one season of Legacies, how did they fit that into the wider Vampire Diaries world?

Well, part of the conceit in Legacies was that there was a good degree more than the vampire/werewolf/witch thing we'd been shown that had been thoroughly (and supernaturally) kicked under the rug at one point.

I would also like to mention that Wednesday and Enid give me serious Elpheba and Glinda vibes.

My wife is trying to get me to watch this one so I might end up doing so (don't usually watch newer shows)

The worldbuilding in this series left me wanting more. It's clear that this is a world in which the supernatural is known and unsurprising, and yet it still seems rare and separated from the world at large - I didn't get the impression that there were Nevermore-equivalent establishments in great profusion anywhere else.

And the distinction between "normie" and "outcast" is a little ill-defined. Wednesday comes from a family of outcasts, yet she isn't known to have any supernatural capabilities when she is sent to Nevermore - she's been having visions, but keeping them secret. If she weren't, would she still be eligible to attend?

But I enjoyed the series a lot. It had plenty of character development and intrigue, and while Wednesday's apparent detachment might seem to make her unapproachable, I could see why others came to like her, and the supporting cast was likeable too - a refreshing change after having previously tried to watch The School of Good And Evil, and given up halfway through due to it lacking even a single character I could like or root for.

I just started watching this. But I actually hope they keep this vague and just cleave to a real world meaning of outcast, and not have it be part of some taxonomy to the universe the show takes place in.

I think one thing that makes it easier to root for a character like wednesday, and why I hope they preserve her detachment and personality, is the comedy. It is ultimately a comedic show and so it is a bit like Black Adder in that respect.

I am just one episode in. We will see how it pans out for me over the season.
