Agree, its hard to top Christina as Wednesday but def looking forward to seeing this especially with Wednesday as the focus.
And Tim Burton always creates a visual feast.
same. looks good and from the trailer alone the visuals already look fantastic
well xtina was from an era were actors actually have talent and beauty.
yeap 90s cast set the standard how we love the addams family, dunno about gomez and morticia new cast they look like from a parody show 😅
He is a particularly good choice for directing this series. Also, I love how the actor playing Gomez looks like he came out of one of the original comic strip. It's great that they didn't go the route of finding a Raul Julia look a like. As great as he was in the part, he didn't really look like the original.
I have to say I do love Melissa Hunter in the Adult Wednesday Adams shorts! But that said, yes I'm very much looking forward to this....
I love that Christina is supportive of Jenna and praises her rather than being jealous/competitive of someone taking on one of her most well-known roles. That says something very good about Christina as a person.
I agree, although even a jealous person/competitive person wouldn’t show it as much when they set the bar quite high(jealousy/unhealthy competitiveness shows when you are surpassed or about to).
To be fair, she's probably fully aware of the situation. Everyone loves her Wednesday best of all, and she's got nothing to prove. There's plenty to share with the next generation, and she wants Jenna to be successful too. The best that's going to happen is Jenna manages to tie in popularity as the character. A solid century from now, when people are watching "old movies" and such, and they come across the original show, the movies we know, the cartoons and such, and this show...they're going to prefer the movies, hands down. It's just too hard to top any of those actors portrayals. They nailed everything about the cores of the characters from the original show, AND they managed to add a dark flair that blended seemlessly into it all. They're dark and a bit warped, but they've very clearly "good" people. The only ones who would ever fear being around them are those who get hung up on the superficiality of appearance. The fact is, so long as you don't screw with them, they won't do a damned thing to you. And even if you do, they don't really act disproportionately to whatever it was.
It's actually really subtle, because of how eccentric they are, the audience often has the same idea of them that the "normies" in the story do. It's just that the audience identifies the Addams' as the protagonists, and enjoys seeing their antics, so they're amused instead of frightened (and, it's just a movie, so they know they're safe).
Why would she be jealous? She's not the right age to play this version of Wednesday, so it's not like Ortega was cast _over her._
She has to be diplomatic... but everyone knows, Ricci's version cannot be topped.
It’s called diplomacy
Christina Ricci is seriously underrated. She should have won an Oscar by now and the fact that she has never been really considered is a crime.
She is a talented actress, but Hollywood is for profit. Most of the roles are given not on acting skill alone, but to whom can bring in the most money. I agree, she should have been an Oscar winner by now. Hopefully the right role comes along and she is recognized for it and her achievements.
@@Dank951 I agree of course… she was really good in Monster but all eyes went to Charlize Theron (who was of course worthy to win)
. She is very talented but Hollywood is evil.
Monster in 2003, she was phenomenal.
Oscar's are social credit scores for industry insiders. They are not awarded based on talent.
I just watched "Wednesday" and Jenna was excellent in the role, even her eye stairs and glances were perfect. What a talent!
She is amazing!
She didn't blink on camera.
Wednesday
Jones & Guzman - 2/10
Story - 5/10
Special effects - 5/10
Jenna - 10/10
She is the perfect person to play an older Wednesday
She has stairs for her eyes? Are they steep? Shouldn’t she have an escalator or an elevator for her eyes? It is a modern world we live in after all; a Hollywood star shouldn’t have to rely on old fashioned stairs for their eyes anymore. And where are her eyes going that they need stairs anyways? Seems odd to me. But I do like the idea of detachable eyes that can go somewhere on their own; kind of like how Thing is a disembodied hand.
😂
I fully agree Christina absolutely killed it in the original films. I'd love to see what Jenna does.
She made that character iconic for a whole generation of people, but Ricci wasn’t the first. I’m interested to see what the new Wednesday brings to the character.
Christina did an amazing job. Those are tough shoes to fill but I'm excited to see the new show.
Wasn't Lisa Loring the original?
Jenna for one looks to old for the part and she doesn't have the right look , horrible casting .
@@manchesterexplorer8519 she's supposed to be in high school 😆
Christina's Wednesday was such an influential character for me as a kid.
Same! I related so much to that character.
this is why she should play our "from the future" Wednesday, plus both now and future wednesday's communications with each other should provide us with some golden scenes
That's how I feel about Winona Ryder as Lydia in Beetlejuice. 🖤
@@saranagle73 oh definitely another pivotal character in my life! Actresses that have dark hair and eyes in general do the goth vibe so effortlessly. Having those characteristics myself it's like anyone with dark hair and dark eyes was born to be perfectly weird.
1:17, Harry Potter-isms...
One of my favorite lines by Christina, as Wednesday was, "Are your Girlscout Cookies, made with real Girlscouts?" It was perfectly delivered.
It's ARE THEY MADE FROM REAL GIRLSCOUTS? (One of my faves too)
😂
I think they referenced that when she said she eats girl scouts for breakfast in the show lol
@@d.ani.6882 this is true, now that i've seen the show
@@d.ani.6882 thing is though... The OP of this comment said BY CHRISTINA... and the line is as I stated above. If they meant from the SHOW then you're right but.. if that's true, why'd they say BY CHRISTINA....?
Raul Julia was a legend. His version of Gomez was unforgettable.
It feels very close to a dark Salvador Dali in visual style.
I agree the current one sucks!
@@JPEBeard the current one looks like the original in the comic
@@Scheherasad you're right, that's the reason why he played Gomez.
I loved John Astin in the original series with his fun -loving maniacal glee. Raul was great also, but in a different way.
Tbh when I heard Jenna Ortega was taking over the role, I didn’t question it. It just made sense to me. But of course, I grew up on Christina Ricci’s Wednesday so she’ll always have a place in my heart.
neither did i, she slays every role she does PURRR
I am not the least bit worried about the casting...great cast! What worries me is the writing and directing. I worry about the wholesomeness and message of acceptance being lost under the guidance of Burton.
@@subliminalblip7400 Honestly, I think this series will be fine under Burton’s direction. I always used to wonder why he didn’t do either of the original movies. Regardless, this is more his lane anyway.
They do look vaguely similar. I could see a young Ricci growing up to look more like Ortega.
@@sneakykamon Barry Sonnenfeld did a great job, I don't think Tim could have done it better.
I don't think the entire cast of Adam's Family and Adam's family Values could ever be topped. It was perfectly casted (R.I.P. Raul Julia) and performed including Christina's Wednesday and the amazing Anjelica Houston. It will be a favorite that will live on for all time. That being said I am curious to how this version plays out, it looks like Jenna had a lot of fun with the role. I mean who wouldn't! It'll be on my ever growing watch list.
Hi Jaden, speaking of your ever growing watch list, I find myself watching so many trailers on RUclips but I never remember to watch them or look for them when they eventually come out! Any advice?
@@maryconsolatakeneema937 LOL i know what you mean. Honestly not sure other then to make a private playlist you can refer back to when you "can't remember" or are looking for something you haven't seen to watch. If its something i really really want to watch as soon as i can i usually remember, but i think this kind of playlist probably will be the easiest to refer back to.
Edit: On a side note, if its something already streaming on any streaming platform you have, add it to your watchlist there right away so you don't forget. I usually do this right away too which helps a lot.
lol same, i have to watch the classic to recover from the latest trailer 🤣
Me it sounds very boring
Christopher Lloyd for me was always the stand out star. I would go as far as saying he's the stand out in almost every film I've seen him in
Jenna did an outstanding job as Wednesday. Obviously the original will never be replaced but it's refreshing to see a new era of the Adams Family. I personally love Jenna's performance alot. Never compare the old generation with the new one, it's unfair. They both are great but in different ways.
Have to agree. Can't compare across generations like that effectively. This was amazing, though. I mean... 'that dance', LOL! Absolutely stunning. The... the 'dramatic pauses' made it what it was - you were literally hanging on the edge of your seat to see what element was brought out next... and it was just crushing when it ended. Eh, and don't get me started on the cello. Moved you at your soul level.
The original? Oh right...Lisa Loring from 1964.
Actually you can. Wednesday in the original series was a pretty thin character. They didn't do much with her. It was the 90s movies that went back to the original comic strip, pulled ideas and then re-invented the character. If I had a Criticism of both the 90s movies and the current Wednesday, its how Lurch has been forgotten and relegated to the side. Lurch was what made the original TV who pop!. You ask any old generation what they love about the original TV show, Lurch is usually the answer. Tim should have brought back the original Lurch for a couple of episodes or even for the pilot (as Wednesday is settling in). It would have been a great contrast to Wednesday.
@@TheJTcreate yeah, really good point about Lurch. When I was in sixth grade and growing into my (back then) stick frame, kids said I walked like Lurch, and with an unnaturally deep voice, the monnicker stuck for a long, long, long time.
I fancy jenna so hard now after watching Wednesday
I’m excited to see how Jenna takes on Wednesday’s role but Christina’s version will always have a special place in ma heart 🫶
What really sets Christina Ricci’s Wednesday apart is her flat affect and the menacing way she delivers her dialog.
nb: this is the one context where it actually should be "affect".
@@peterrose5373 Thanks, edited.
Her face too.
Mm hmm, the new girl's too dry. Lines don't come across...
@@greenonions5296 i say Jenna's eyes are full of emotions, it's like when extrovert try to be introvert but their eyes speaks for themselves which is why I also couldn't take her seriously as Wednesday
Christina will be one of the teachers in Wednesday new academy. I'm taking bets here
I had the same thought
Considering they're keeping her character a secret I think she's more than a teacher. I'm wondering if they're going to pull a marvel. And it turns out Christina Ricci is a grown Wednesday from another multiverse.
@@shaunaddams2163 She just said she doesnt play Wednesday. Marvel is lame asf!
Or the principal ❤️😁
Or the bad guy
Christina was soo good at her role. 😍Her character will always be loved and cherished.
Not dissing Zeta-Jones, I think Tim Burton should've cast Christina back as Morticia. Makes perfect sense.
Both are iconic. That's when you know they're both amazing actresses. Each interpret one character differently and you still end up loving both versions. You see the same with Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix with the Joker.
Christina Ricci was definitely one of the best parts of the original movies. She had some of the best lines and delivered them with a completely deadpan expression. So funny. So much fun
Christina Ricci's Wednesday is the best, hands down. But in fairness, it was the writing that made that character what it was.
Yup! Kudos to those writers...they will be missed.
i think we will see Christina Ricci's Wednesday as older Wednesday via crystal ball
To me it's the deadpan delivery of Ricci that made this so iconic, she literally seems completely emotionaless and dead inside.
Perhaps this new girl is going to be awesome too, but I can totally imagine this girl smiling and laughing, where with Ricci's Wednesday she really sold that dead inside vibe.
Also she radiated that disgust so perfectly, you literally felt it was a chore for her to socailly interact and that she just (barely) tolerated people.
@@brabbelbeest You've summed it up perfectly.
@@brabbelbeest I genuinely feel like the new Wednesday has already smiled more than Christina's Wednesday and it was only a trailer, that was the only thing that killed it for me but I'll give it a watch and see, but your spot on.
This show is freaking awesome. I was 4 in 1991. I grew up with Christina's Wednesday. Jenna did a great job and Catherine did a great job too.
I just finished watching the 8 episodes of Wednesday and I'm VERY impressed! I absolutely LOVED it!!!!! I need more
Best thing Netflix has released in so long I love it
I love that she passed the torch gracefully and I can’t wait to see what she’s doing in this series
Let's be real, Wednesday was always the most interesting character in the Adam family. I think this show is going to be pretty good.
She got it from her momma.
Nah tish
Nah its more woke trash with cringe lines
Apart from that SJW crap. She's my spirit animal
@@konicironman8191 Boom. I like that dark shite in it though. She's dark like me.
I’m glad they included Christina she’s the Wednesday I grew up with Christina is a great actress. Jenna Ortega killed it ❤️
cristina did it like no other. the timing, the cadence of speech, the facial expressions--or lack of. it was perfection
No-one will top Christina Ricci as Wednesday but still really looking forward to this 🙌🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥
this is why she should come and back and play our older Wednesday "from the future"
The way Christina can switch up the mood like 0:42 is what I love about her portrayal of Wednesday. The voice.
Always loved the way she delivered the lines, especially the bit with the girl scout from the first movie:
ruclips.net/video/_zCO4j4MrxE/видео.html
Christina’s thanksgiving camp scene is iconic 🪶
Christina and Jenna both did an excellent job portraying Wednesday Addams. The only other thing that I've seen Jenna in was The Little Rascals Save the Day. I hadn't realized she was in so many movies and TV shows. She's really good.
Looks like fun. Catherine Zeta-Jones is SO lucky! Imagine if she had to go through what Angelica Hustin went through. She talks about it somewhat. It was apparently like a metal-version of a corset to constantly maintain the exact look and ensure the skintight dresses features. She could never actually see either, using an old Hollywood type of lightening the eye. She loved everything about Morticia but some of the physical attributes of the dress and lighting were difficult. It made it difficult to know if her blocking was right on too. Plus she couldn't sit down with the metal corset on.
Jenna is going to kill it as Wednesday! I'm so looking forward to this.
I suppose she's not going to kill cousin It
@@Alexagrigorieff christina ricci is gonna be uncle fester :)
@@brayanisrael9175 in you're dreams
Of course Ricci's Wednesday is and always will be iconic, but I thought Jenna killed it! The glances. The looks. The eye movements. No blinking. Those smirks she gets. That dance sequence. Really good stuff. Overall, I enjoyed the first season. Took a minute to get used to her and all the new actors playing the iconic roles, but I think everyone did a great job. Especially when they settled into their roles. And it was good to see Ricci get a chance to play across from Jenna. Looking forward to see where they take this character in the future.
Christina is so beautiful! And she was a natural playing Wednesday. Jenna Ortega´s performance as Wednesday is not disappointing!!
I cannot describe how much I'm looking forward to this series.
There was a series of Webisodes of a series called "Adult Wednesday Addams".
The actress was phenomenal, and the scripts were hilarious, but of course, as she was unlicensed, she was given a cease and desist order.
Pity, the series was REALLY working, and now that we see Wednesday spun off in her own series I can understand why they shut her down, but I've always said the producers need to STOP shutting down the fan films, and start mining them for both ideas and talent.
Seriously,
RUclips is a goldmine of unofficial audition tapes that the producers are NOT exploiting to their continued detriment.
I have a complete collection of the Adult Wednesday Addams series, and in my opinion it's a legitimate part of my complete Addams Family DVD collection.
My set wouldn't be as [nearly] complete without it.
I say nearly because I'm missing a late 70's Addams Family variety show that had Butch Patrick taking over the role of Pugsley.
If anyone knows where i could find a copy of that.......
Adult Wednesday Addams is sooo slept on! The actress who played her later came up with a comedy called Wolfgirl, which was also pretty entertaining, but it seems like none of the studios wanted it 😔
Studios in general have become more and more negative towards fan projects in recent years. They feel as if somehow the fan films will hurt the license versus keeping it alive. Disney and CBS are bad about that regarding Star Wars and Star Trek as they shut down pretty much all fan films once new official projects were being worked on, especially in the case of Star Trek.
@@alucard624 It's mostly because of what I pointed out, they don't understand the material, to the studios it's just another money project, to the Fans it's an institution with a history.
Cross the fans, show no respect for the source material and you will fail.
Thunderbirds.
A wildly popular series in 1965.
John Frakes of Star Trek directed a movie reboot in 2004, it bombed.
Why?
Even though Director Frakes represented himself as a fan of the series, he didn't give the Fans Thunderbirds.
He gave them "Spy Kids" instead.
7 of the 8 members of the Tracy family, AND their chief scientist engineer were sidelined for 99% of the film to focus on the youngest member of the family, teaming up with two other teens and assisted for far too short a time by Lady Penelope, and Parker.
The Tech which was the biggest draw of the series originally was on screen for only moments.
It was ALL there, EVERYTHING the fans wanted, BUT Frakes, who claimed fandom DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT MADE THE SERIES SO POPULAR IN THE FIRST PLACE.
And so... He blew it.
Flash Forward 11 years to 2015, and the rebooted series "Thunderbirds Are GO".
The Tech is updated, ALL the major characters are there, Homages are made to the original series [spot the orange juicer] and the scripts are full of action and suspense, just like the original.
One relatively passive and dated female character from the original series is removed, and replaced with a more up-to-date- version who is PART OF THE TEAM, Not overshadowing, or replacing the team and you have a very successful series [The original ran for two seasons, the reboot for THREE].
Again, ALL the elements were there INCLUDING involvement from the creative staff of the original series AND a cameo episode starring the voice of the ORIGINAL lady Penelope, Sylvia Anderson.
Result, HIT SHOW.
Compare for YOURSELF the three versions of the series and you can CLEARLY see the recipe for success for ANY fan based show, and it can all be summed up in a couple of words, RESEARCH, and RESPECT.
There is absolutely NO reason for these fan driven franchises to fail.
They FAIL because of the arrogance, and ignorance of people who THINK they know better than the people who MADE the show successful in the first place.
Melissa Hunter. Absolutely brilliant.
Adult Wednesday Addams was so good!
I feel for the woman who played adult Wednesday with some RUclips videos. She was brilliant. Was sad that she got shut down. She’d be awesome with a Netflix show.
She is 37 now. Makes sense why they can't cast her as a young Wednesday.
@John Bryer i was talking about Adult Wednesday. The actress is 37 now. The Netflix one is a teenager.
@John Bryer It's also said that some men do become adults mentally at some point.
@John Bryer Oh that's alright, I'll explain then. You were saying that you heard women don't become mentally adult before the age of 25 years old.
I don't know where you heard that, but on a psychological and neurological standpoint, girls mature faster than boys.
Scientifically speaking, it's been proven that their amygdala and pre-frontal cortex are more developed than those of boys. Most parents can also tell you, if they've had both boys and girls, that little girls become adults, and are interested in being treated as adults quite quickly compared to little boys.
My comment was a joke, using your own comment as a basis.
If girls become mature at 25, I was saying that then, most boys never become mature at all, ever. But it's been heard that some do.
Of course, the reality is that although women mature more quickly if we measure maturity by normal standards of responsibility, critical thinking, autonomy, and things like that, there are probably as many adult men and women who are mature and immature. It's just that women tend to get there faster than men.
@John Bryer Haha, ok got it. As you say it is sometimes hard to get jokes online, especially sarcasm! Since the tone is generally missing from online text, many things are misinterpreted.
I am personally sure some people would say what you said without joking though! Well, that's that.
Have a very nice weekend, and may your online wanderings grant you what you seek in them, however small it may be.
Small things are sometimes the most significant ones!
i'd love to see a movie made for Christina Ricci as all grown up in the future Wednesday
Just wanted to say that I enjoyed this video. Great format, clean presentation, not too much fluff. It was a pleasure to watch and listen to.
Love Christina Ricci and Tim Burton. Really looking forward to it.
I really liked the trailer. I'm a fan of Catherine Zeta Jones and Christina as Wednesday was incredible! I'm looking forward to seeing this
One huge difference, Ricci was 11yrs old in the 1st movie, Jenna is 20 in "Wednesday". I know it is meant to be an older Wednesday but the chill of an evil 11yr old just clinched it.
Christina Ricci was my childhood crush because of her role in the Adams Family. She's about 12 years older than me. But I can tell by my son's reaction to the new trailer. It runs in the family.
I grew up with Lisa Loring's Wednesday on afternoon reruns, but I loved Christina's Wednesday, she became my favorite. It will be interesting to see Jenna Ortega's take on Wednesday. I also like the Adult Wednesday Addams series on RUclips.
It makes me so happy to see that most everyone is on board with this. I was worried that there would be so much hate and negativity, but I’ve only so far seen pretty positive and optimistic comments! I’m definitely excited to see what this show brings.
Looking forward to this soooo much!
I saw the show and I believe Jenna nailed it! she is now my favorite Wednesday so far. Christina was wonderful, and was a perfect Wednesday, don't get me wrong, and I believe she was the best to play Wednesday at the age she was portrayed in the movies, and I truly loved her performance. That being said, as a teen, Jenna is the one for sure.
Everything Wednesday should be as a teen was perfectly brought out by Jenna in this series. A haunting beauty like her mother, a wit stronger than a bear trap and lightning fast, all with that wonderfully disturbing look and demeanor, as well as being an icon for self-empowerment. I also gotta give kudos for her skills with fencing, and her acting is spot on.
I'm so glad Christina was a part of the new show too, I believe she earned her place there. And to be so supportive of Jenna says a lot about her as a person as well. She will always have a place in my heart as one of my more memorable actresses. I have a feeling that Jenna will too :)
Respectfully disagree. Jenna's Wednesday was nothing but an angry goth girl with mommy issues. Also she was all bark and no bite the entire show.
Nahhh sorry to say this but have you even watched previous shows or even the original one, it's no near comparison. Jenna isn't the best actress ( watched "you" the series and she also didnt do the best job on her character, she was just very bratty and i cant even remember her parts in the show) I believe there were better but that's just my opinion. Christina played the role 10 times better, the change of character didn't do the new Wednesday any good. It's just lacking in acting and she diverged too much from the original character which is sad cause there's lots of 90s kids who could identify with her, and now it's so dissapointing watching this new series for sure, only watched 1 and 2 eps and I turned it off, the production was not the best either idk nothing really made sense or connected for me sadly.
@@bluebutterfly4308 very bratty? when you only watched 1-2 episodes, your statement isn't really a valid one
@abstractperfection8168 I've watched all the show of "You" so maybe that was her character idk ,I didn't like her acting that's all I'm saying ,people have narrow minded point of view of what good acting is lol if you just watched western movies and Netflix shows, just saying 😁😃
@@bluebutterfly4308 you and wednesday are entirely different show, you can't just say all of it is bad just because one show is "bad" to you
Never been so excited for an addams family movie. Tim burton and the addams family franchise is just a perfect match.
It's a series not a movie.
P.S. So happy to hear Catherine Zeta Jones is BACK! #EXCITED!
Jenna takes this character to a whole new level that is Emmy worthy
I had such a crush on Christina Ricci when I was a kid back in the 90s.
the addams family and addams family value is unmatched. the cast was absolutely PERFECT. and christina was the perfect wednesday 🤍
the 90’s were the best ALWAYS. nothing modern can ever top it
Poor person living life in the past is what's wrong with ppl these days the vibe on this movie is amazing
Exactly what I as saying also.. the little girl in Addams family values looks too perfect for the role and her facial expression and the dark energy she had was natural .. this new wednessday doesn’t look dark she looks more of plummy and rosy
@@marymary4005 I agree. Christina Ricci has a natural, unusual look.
have u watched the new wednesday? hahahahahaha Mygod it was so good
For me Jenna Ortega was the most satisfying than Christina. Sometimes Christina looks she's about to laugh
Loving your work Graeme. ❤️
It was awesome! Every episode was fun, interesting and can’t wait for season 2!
Love your posts Graeme! My go to for hollywood updates!
The Trailer looked freaking awesome, can't wait for this show!
binged this series over 2 days and totally luvd it, jenna was absolutely spot on with her performance to the point where her dead pan expression and non blink stares could give christina wednesday a run for her money, dark without being too dark, funny but more on the satyrical and gallows type humour us english luv than slapstick or poppy humour altho enid did inject some bubblegum moments lol, it all worked really nicely and altho there was quite a few high points that stand out in my mind its gonna be the dance scene that i will remember most, i watched an cast interview shortly after finishing the series and they all named that as the standout scene in their minds
That's awesome! I grew up with the Adams Family movies, I can't wait to see it reborn. Christina Ricci's Wednesday is like Heath Ledgers Joker, I doubt anyone could play the role better but if she's got Ricci's blessing then it cant be too bad.
Jenna was amazing on The Fallout and this new show looks fun!
Adams Family Values is a Thanksgiving Movie for me. Every Thanksgiving during prep I have to watch it just for the Camp Chippewa Musical. Seriously it’s a classic! That being said I’m looking forward to this Netflix reboot.
I fuckin love the series. I nearly died when she danced Cramp's Goo Goo Muck

Everything that Tim Burton does turns to be a masterpiece! I expect nothing but that from Wednesday TV show. Love maestro Tim 😌
the original from the 1960’s will always be my favorite. I used to watch it and play with my dolls, favorite movie/tv series of all time.
Mine too!
This is the first I've heard of this and I am excited. I can't wait to see how this turns out. Though I think Christina would have made a superb Morticia. I hope it's not just a cameo but rather a bigger role.
I was hoping she would be the head mistress of Nevermore Academy but it turns out not to be the case so I guess will will have to wait and see.
On IMDb, she's listed as being in all 8 episodes, but character unnamed. ;)
I was going to say that she's too young to play Morticia, but she's actually not. 🤔
But she still doesn't have the svelte look that is required for the character.
@@breadfan_85 she's definitely too short to play morticia though
Eva Green would have made an amazing Morticia.
Wednesday taking over the thanksgiving play is comedy gold and a classic. Hopefully this new show can come close to that.
Can we talk about the original Wednesday? Because her roasts is badass and I also thought that Ms. Thorn Hill was Emma Stone😂
That brief shot of Gomez makes him look closer to the comics than any other portrayal. It gives him a certain creepiness that tends to be missing from the other versions. And Tim Burton's involvement in the show can't be overlooked.
YES. Raul did great. John is a good comic actor and was great on the original series, which was a sitcom. I know it wouldn't be original, but could the Addams and the Munsters meet? Maybe have Marilyn attend the school, too and befriend Wendy, since she would understand Wednesday's family.
I’m in that weird, in-between, where I saw Christina as Wednesday and grew up watching Jenna grow up. Everything from Casper The Ghost to Stuck in The Middle, I love them both and can’t wait for this collide!
i didnt know it was her until after i watched it. How nice thats she was hiding in the cast list and contributing towards the show. I LOVED IT and they announced season 2 so im so happy
I never expected to enjoy this series so much. At first, I was skeptical with the new generation of Wednesday but when noticing Tim in it, I thought why the hell not ? and didn't disappoint
Super Excited for show
It looked great and I am happy to see Christina back in some way too.
It's refreshing seeing a channel like yours. You always try to highlight positive aspects of events and search to find the best moment in peoples lives and make a video based on them. Good job.
The actor they picked for Gomez is so cartoon perfect lol
Now that its out and I'm 3/4 of the way through the first(?) season, it is truly living up to the hype... on so many levels. Story line, visuals, performances... I mean, 'Paint it Black' on the cello was amazing... and the dancing?! Daaaaaang.
The dance at the Rav'N was awesome.
From the trailer, it seems Jenna is pulling off the role of Wednesday Adams well, but Christina Ricci's Wednesday is still the Best.
Jennas Wednesday seems too much of a spoilt brat to me
Big fan of Adams family, so glad Christina is helping out on this show. Can’t wait to see it.
I love that they cast Christina Ricci in Wednesday too, I didn’t even know till the credits rolled on the first episode because I didn’t recognize her lol.
She's one of my favorite actresses that I had a crush on when I was a kid. While I was slightly disappointed that Ricci wasn't cast as Morticia - as the role would have been way too meta (and FUN) - I'm glad she gave her seal of approval, though. Can't wait for it to come out.
I adore seeing Catherine Zeta Jones every time she's on screen and it honestly feels like she's so well suited to this role. I'm just as excited to see her play Morticia as I am to see Jenna play Wednesday
I couldn’t wait until this series came out on Netflix and now that it is I absolutely love it. This new version of Wednesday is awesome. I’m attracted to the dark movies and shows so to watch this is right up me alley.
I can confirm....the torch has been passed! Ortega does an AMAZING job in the new series and good god they better do a season two!!
I thought Jenna played the role of the precocious little sister of one of “Jo/Will’s” murder victims in the series “YOU” absolutely stunningly 👌🏼and because of this, I think she’s going to smash playing Wednesday… Can’t wait! 😊
Looks so good. Nice to see Netflix finally maybe doing something great again.
I love how supportive Christina is of Jenna! So awesome to see the torch passed down with pride.
I'm still watching both movies I've actually watched both of them back to back just yesterday, they will always be some of my favorite movies from my childhood.
She’s is a very good character actress and actor. Love her in yellow jackets
I just love Christina in everything she's in. Such an amazing actress, and I can not wait to see Jenna in this new Wednesday show.
Binged the entire season last night...........I was amazed.
Your excitement over seeing this series, in this early video, was fully justified. The darn thing was jaw-dropping; beyond great.
No one can replace Christina: she was/perhaps is the BEST! I hope that the producers will keep Christina in the program: even if she is not portrayed as Wednesday, keep Christina as a component. Please.
Ayyyy thi comment aged well :P love you homie
While I know Ricci's Wednesday will never be topped, I'm more excited on Zeta's approach to Morticia because honestly, I loved every iteration of Morticia Addams so far, even though they are all different.
Now that I’m sure you’ve seen it, what did you think? I didn’t mind Luis Guzman as Gomez, but I found Morticia to be forgettable.
It was fantastic! Can't wait for more!
Look forward to seeing this!
We also have to realize how much younger Ricci was when she played Wednesday and to be that young and nail THAT role, I think she gets just a hair more props for me, but it's hard because I also loved Jenna as her, as well. They're equally great performances, the only thing that sets them apart is the age factor.
Jenna Ortega is already a superstar. Her performance in The Fallout got her an HCA Midseason Award Best Actress nomination. She was fantastic in You. She was fantastic in Scream. She received high recognition for her Jane the Virgin role AND her successful Disney show in which she won a Best Young Actor award. She was great in X and Studio 666. Everybody loves her. I'm her sure her Wednesday performance will be spot on. It's a very similar start to her career to Christina Ricci who is a legend. Christina's had 32 acting nominations and 13 wins including a Best Young Actor Award also and is fantastic in everything, as well.
Very cool video, love it
Fantastic show! It took me a while to figure out who Christina was playing in the show. Lol
I’m very excited they are deff exploring more on the family’s actual Latin background rarely highlighted but Gomez the opitimey of romance and family man and to see Christina Ricci enthusiastically return to some participation of the franchise and mentor a new Wednesday is so exciting
CZJ nails it!! I'm obsessed already!! Morticia Addams is my next best Halloween!! She's an icon!
I watched the entire 1st season yesterday- I just could not stop!
"How many beloved characters and franchises can you destroy?"
Netflix: "yes"
I thought she had a Wednesday with her own flair, but I will say based on the trailer that I think CR's Wednesday cannot be topped when it comes to the 'crazy eyes" like that dark joy Wednesday gets when mayhem errupts at her hands. I think CR just NAILED that look so seeing JO smirking while chaos is going on just sort of fell a tiny bit below, i didn't get that "mad eyes/dark joy" in her eyes. But I still look forward to her portrayal :)
