"Nothing Else Matters'' was covered by a cello quartet called Apocalyptica, who actually started out playing Metallica covers. You may have heard some of their more recent collaborations with mainstream artists.
Ajax the gorgon didn’t ask Enid to the dance because it was one of those dances where the girls ask the guys. Technically Enid didn’t ask Ajax. The other girl asked Ajax, and he probably said yes bc Enid didn’t ask.
"You rang" is one of Lurch's iconic lines from the 60s TV show. I love this cover of Nothing Else Matters. It's a beautiful song in its own right, but this version in particular is FANTASTIC.
Don't wanna sound like a dick, I think the dance-scene is great (and Jenna Ortegas performance in general in this show), but being as old as I am, I think the hype about that scene is pretty funny. It's basically how a lot of the girls danced back in the 80s/90s in indi/goth/underground clubs. Again, no disrespect, she nailed it, and I would have never imagined back than that a Cramps-Song would ever make it into such a TV-Show. It's just strange when something that was "normal" in my time causes such a hype now.
@Mr TV Eye I agree. These types of dances were being done at the prom in the mid 90s. But they gave this kid free rein to create her own choreography and she blended just the right balance of each style to make it work. I guess the part I'm most impressed with is she seized an opportunity and nailed it. Not a lot of today's young people would have pulled it off on their own.
@Metzwerg74 that's my point. She did pretty good for someone in a generation of everything old is lame. I saw each of these styles at my highschool dances in the 90s.
According to Jenna Ortega herself, she put together the whole dance the day before the where scheduled to shoot the scene. She said, in an interview, that she had been so busy in the weeks leading up to it doing "cello and fencing" that she never got around to it.
'that guy was evil and they dedicated an entire town to him' - Stalingrad, Columbia/Columbus, Edison, Puerto Cortés, Sutter, Ferney-Voltaire, Ettelbruck, Bismark, Napoleon/Bonaparte, Stonewall, a lot of the time being a good person is a matter of audience and even then it may not matter
What is more impressive than having a straight face for some of it, is the more impressive face that she made a point to not blink during any scenes and her tenacity is impressive. I found out after like the 3rd episode and I paid attention for the remaining episodes and i counted like maybe 10-15 blanks for the remaining episodes....once you notice it it's hard to miss. Her and the Siren ( I can't remember her name) she also doesn't blink in many scenes.
What more impressive is she doesn't even blink when the red paint is running over her eyes. I'd like to think they cg'd that effect but knowing jenna it was probably real.
@@DocDarkness it was kind of weird to be honest, and you're right, even with things near her eyes she doesn't blink much. I saw the short (youtube short) showing her talking about and and the remaining epi's I paid attention and only counted I think 20 blinks. Bianca didn't blink much either, but she also didn't look conscious or focused on it, but Jenna made one hell of an effort.
@@Daremo6969 she did an interview in Brazil where the crowd challenged her to go as long as she could without blinking, she accepted the challenge and lasted close to 2 min, to the point her eyes were watering and started tearing.
As mentioned below, the reason why Ajax didn't ask Enid to the dance was because this dance was a "girl ask boy" dance. Xavier did not ask Wednesday he stood there and hinted till she asked him and then after they had there little fall out Bianca asked him and Enid was mad at Ajax for standing her up so she did not ask him and we don't know if the other girl Ajax showed up with at the dance asked Ajax before or after Enid and Lucas decided to go together. Also if you remember Weems telling Thornehill that when she attended this very same dance when she was younger that the guy she asked to the dance had already been asked by Morticia.
I felt like there was at least one good throwback in every episode (other than the first one which was just crammed with them) to something from the IP. that fans would recognize. In the second episode, it was the *snap snap*.
@@Aeonova Episode 4 had about a second of Wednesday's dance from the OG series during the dance in that episode. Apparently Jenna used a lot more of it, but they cut it out.
Charred wood (aka charcoal) is mostly carbon, it hardly rots if at all. It’s one of the most resilient materials out there when it comes to longevity, though I don’t know about charcoal above ground since I am an archaeologist specialising in prehistory.
14:35 tbh i always wrote the lack of reaction to Thing off as people just assuming they were seeing things. or like that a mouse looked like a hand for a second or whatever. i mean, brains are weird. also, people will ignore a lot of crazy shit simply so they won't have to get involved with whatever's going on.
I believe Ajax didn't ask Enid to the dance because it was a Sadie Hawkins style dance where the girls ask the guys. So, he didn't have a say in taking Enid.
Vicky ….. I’m old enough to remember the original Addams family…. Used to watch it on tv … then in 1991 .. and now .. Jenna and Tim .. exceeds expectations on what the Addams family is … Tim an Jenna stay true to the Addams tradition, but adding their own mix … this Wednesday is so Intriguing … it’s very well written !!! And the acting is top notch
Nothing like this. In 1 in the series Addams like gloomy, while in films they live this. And in 2 series, a very teenage girl, like Riverdale, which is definitely not the style of the Addams family.
29:40 "She did her hair so quickly" Not really but it's a good illusion. She just redid her braids starting a little higher and tucked them together. It's my standard style and takes 5 minutes tops.
As much I enjoy Toby Maguire aka Bully Maguire dancing his own way, To me, Jenna Ortega is once again so awesome every time as Wednesday Addams becoming one of my favorite tv shows from Netflix, I very much did enjoyed her very own unique dancing sequence in the show, Cool, fantastic reaction as always VKunia.
"Then why did he ask another girl?" she asked... "Then why did he ask another girl?" she asked again... "Then why did he ask another girl?" she asked a third time... If you look again you don't see any boy actually ask a girl to the dance... It seems to me that it must be something similar to a Sadie Hawkins dance where the girls do the asking. I love Wednesday's dancing and her line about the mace... the Medieval kind... Happy New Year! Cheers!
the cover of nothing else matters is done by apocalyptica, and they've been doing chello covers of metallica songs for years and years. and obviously, they've gotten fairly good at it.
@@darth-imperius Sure, that’s the implication from Wednesday about herself and her uncle. However, since she’s currently 15 in the show, my dirty mind interpreted that differently originally. 🤷♂️
If you've seen any interviews with Jenna Ortega and Emma Meyers you'll see that isn't beyond imagination. Both of them have said that in a perfect world Wednesday and Enid would be a couple. Jenna Ortega is not "out," but is a big proponent of LGBTQ+ rights and has often referred to Gwendoline Christy as her "wife" and other such endearments. I won't speculate as to her orientation, but if she were on the LGBTQ spectrum I would not be shocked. Or she could simply be a modern open minded woman who likes to shock people with her non-judgmental humor on the subject.
I don't know why I was so nervous that you were not going to continue this series. You have said multiple times that it's binge-able and addicting. I'm glad I binged it before and am having a fun time re-watching it with you. Oh, and before Wednesday tasted the fake blood and said "They couldn't even spring for real pig's blood", I was certain that they had hooked the fire sprinkler system up to a sewage wastewater septic tank truck and it was going to be poo-water. Urk.
I think the copyright owners should pay you. I watched your re view of a previous episode, was intrigued so went and found it and then binged it. I find Wednesday to be charismatic and quirky in her own way. She is not the standard teenager; she is more interesting than others.
Do people actually do highly choreographed dances in clubs? Maybe I've not been to the right ones, definitely never seen anything remotely choreographed in a club
@@Drax514 They had to choreograph it to be able to film it properly. But I suppose the dance itself shouldn't even look choreographed, and IMO it doesn't do so. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to look like "natural" dancing to a song. But yes, if people would start to copy it step by step, move by move in a club, that would be pretty cringe.
You know somethin, the place that they filmed it looks like cape cod to me very similar though NGL! If you haven't been to Boston, you probably would cause Cape cod's pretty nice there I will say that for sure!
I don't think it's specifically mentioned in the episode, but I think the dance was where the girls ask the guys, not the other way around. So, I think the guy Enid was into went with another girl because she asked and Enid didn't. He likley figured he blew his chance with her. Just a thought.
Jenna is 5' 1 while Gwendoline Christie is 6' 3 ... Seeing what the Monster looks like.. Huh. LOL The Rave'N is like a Sadie Hawkin's Dance. So, another girl asked him, and Enid didn't ask him.
I haven't seen anyone catch this in Wednesday's dance. A little over halfway through, there is a long shot and she is doing exactly the same moves as little Wednesday did when dancing with Lurch in the 1960's series. It's a very short shot but if you catch it the moves are unmistakable.
Did you miss (x-men) Dark Phoenix or New Mutants? "Logan" is only an alternate universe 'ending' of x-men, among other possible future apocalypse scenarios that were in the comics. There's also the (x-men) tv series "Legion" and "The Gifted".
Yes, guys-- especially young guys-- even the very very smart ones-- are denser than a metric bus-load of osmium bricks when it comes to being flirted at.
I'll believe it when I see an actual live recording of her playing fucking Vivaldis Winter. She may have taken lessons but that was almost definitely not her playing. The other two things are more plausible.
Wednesday is just so unique and interesting, it's hard not to pine after her. Two good-looking guys being interested in her is not surprising at all. If you only judged her based on her outward appearance, it might be surprising, but she's a total bad-ass when you get to know her. Impossible to not be attracted by that.
Fun facts Gwendoline Christie who plays Principal Weems if 6 foot 3 inches tall Christina Ricci, who plays Thornbill played Wednesday Addams in 2 live action movies in the early 90s Durin Wednesday's dance in episode 4, Wednesday does The Droop, a dance Lisa Loring did in The Addams Family tv show back in the 60s Wednesday NEVER blinks, not even once
In a future episode, when Wednesday feels uncomfortable (asking someone something) she blinks like 5 times. So, when she feels uncomfortable, she blinks
I feel good for Enid because she is having the best day of her whole career she is literally having a boyfriend and he is now have a best whole career ❤❤🎉
Great reactions and predictions (such as the "Carrie" prediction)! I am really enjoying these reactions! Also, many people have dissected the dance and found easter eggs and callbacks to other versions of Wednesday. It is part of what makes the dance iconic! Holy moley, that dance, though! If you had Enid on one shoulder and Wednesday on the other telling you what to do, which one would win? Looking forward to the next one!
16:43 Yes, Nothing Else Matters... performed by Finnish metal cello quartet Apocalyptica 🤘 Official music vid: ruclips.net/video/mjvGjUovxPU/видео.html
I feel the one misstep the show made was around Wednesday's motivation around investigating the prophecy/vision about her destroying Nevermore Academy. Rather than it because she sees it as a "wrong" type of evil (which feels somewhat arbitrary), I feel it would've made much more sense if Wednesday was trying to stop it purely in objection to it being a prophecy/vision in the first place - i.e. if she is going to destroy Nevermore Academy, she is going to do it on her terms and not because of someone else's prophecy/vision. 😁😁
Wednesday is many things, but she'd not really a bully though. Bullies target underdogs. Wednesday is protective of underdogs (like her brother, Eugene, and Enid). Bullies manipulate people to feel powerful. Wednesday manipulates people to get the information she needs to save the school (she literally calls it "my biggest nightmare" to be the cause of the school and students getting destroyed). Bullies humiliate people to look cool and powerful themselves. Wednesday humiliates people as revenge for them mistreating underdogs. Some people think that with socially unacceptable behaviour, motivation doesn't matter, but I think it does.
5:30 "she has great skin". The show is consistently using type of face smoothing filter not dissimilar to a snapchat filter to create the aesthetic of the show. I noticed it right away and I just can't unsee it. I think it's fine and the show looks good. Probably is a bit overused though.
I love the message of a black man (of all people) as mayor celebrating a pilgrim in the same way the US celebrates slavemasters in real life. Nice touch! Her rendition of Winter as the statue burns was absolutely perfect! 👍

She was so creeped out by Thing in ep1, now she finds him cute. Thing just keeps winning hearts.
Thing just steals everyone's hearts. It's almost like he's just a hand or something. Wednesday keeps those hearts in a box under her bed.

Paint it Black cello and this dance have become the standouts.
The Girl Scout reference is a throwback to the movie when the girl scout tries to sell cookies to Wednesday.
Never did find out if they were made with real girl scouts
Facts, they picked the most impossibly beautiful girl to play Bianca. I assume this must be one of those siren things. Got to be magically beautiful.

It's also neat to see Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) in another movie.
The "Wednesday Dance" will be all the rage in clubs this year 😂
Apparently professional ice skater Kamila Valieva has already used that dance as her routine!

Nono, you simply must go visit Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts. It's basically Pilgrimworld 🤣🤣
Wednesday should have told the tourists that Pilgrims in 1625 did not actually dress in the stereotypical Pilgrim manner.
Also, they didn't burn witches. By that time, the punishment for witchcraft was hanging.
HUGS! Happy New years =)
"Full of Rigor" is the opposite of Rigor Mortis. He was saying that Rigor Mortis hasn't set in yet so she can wait until tomorrow to be cut open.

Just a thought.
I love how Wednesday isn't really dancing with Tyler, she mostly leaves him awkwardly standing there
She is performing the ritual, so that she is eligible.
Jenna Ortega is actually 5'1" so you called it pretty close.
Jenna is 5' 1 while Gwendoline Christie is 6' 3 ... Seeing what the Monster looks like.. Huh. LOL The Rave'N is like a Sadie Hawkin's Dance. So, another girl asked him, and Enid didn't ask him.
I saw an interview recently, and Jenna said she was 4'9.
FYI I almost didn't watch this video because I saw the title and thought it was -just- the dance scene.
Jenna Ortega didn't know how to dance but choreographed the whole scene by herself.
She knew how to dance, but she had never choreographed a dance before.
She danced for several years. First time doing her own thing though. I think she did pretty good.

SeaWorld, Jurassic World (even though it is fictional), and Six Flags over AstroWorld are the only others I can think of right this minute.
I love that you noticed nothing else matters by Metallica.
I can't see that dude as anyone other than Andi Strucker from The Gifted. lol. I can still see his white/blond hair.
i like this purple colour style :)
Wednesday is many things, but she'd not really a bully though. Bullies target underdogs. Wednesday is protective of underdogs (like her brother, Eugene, and Enid). Bullies manipulate people to feel powerful. Wednesday manipulates people to get the information she needs to save the school (she literally calls it "my biggest nightmare" to be the cause of the school and students getting destroyed).
Bullies humiliate people to look cool and powerful themselves. Wednesday humiliates people as revenge for them mistreating underdogs.
Some people think that with socially unacceptable behaviour, motivation doesn't matter, but I think it does.
💗I Love this Show💗
chaga is made of mushrooms but it tastes like coffee.
Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤️
10:43 Lurch call back to OG TV series.
37:00 I think they meant unreliable as in unpredictable. They always come true, but they strike at the worst times.
So much fun! Great job
Greta is even badder than Wednesday. She sent Andrew the pizza.
@12:33 "She's a child."
*Tell that to the vatican.*
@12:52 "That guy was evil!"
*V, you may wanna read a non-USA history book about the pilgrims...*
5:30 "she has great skin". The show is consistently using type of face smoothing filter not dissimilar to a snapchat filter to create the aesthetic of the show. I noticed it right away and I just can't unsee it. I think it's fine and the show looks good. Probably is a bit overused though.
The idea of pilgrims being jocks and bullies is hilarious. 🤣 However, those Santa belt-buckles and knee high pants don’t give them any street-creds.
Shame so many people miss the Uriah Heep reference.
Uriah Heep is the name of a rock band from the late 60s and 70s
Demons & Wizards is my favorite album. 😁
@Jacob Zumbrennen I was particularly fond of the Abominog Album
The stupid buckle shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Crazy but it's true.
She looks like a more attractive Beverly Mitchell. If you don't know who I'm talking about she played on 7th Heaven as Lucy Camden.
I can see it
10:24 Like all guys... He's not psychic.
Physical is a banger, I cast shame upon you.
He didn't ask another girl. Girls asked the guys to The Raven.
I love the message of a black man (of all people) as mayor celebrating a pilgrim in the same way the US celebrates slavemasters in real life. Nice touch!
Her rendition of Winter as the statue burns was absolutely perfect! 👍
