    As for the subtitles, if you prefer them, keep them. Having them in the edit also has the secondary benefit of us knowing the dialogue without you having to include the audio in certain scenes, which can help you avoid copyright

      I got used to subtitles quite young since my mother is deaf in one year. Although I don't need them per se, I find that having them makes it easier to branch out in to film types that might initially turn me off, like foreign language, different accents, or genres like horror where I don't want loud audio. I feel that I'm better as a person now in that I can understand accents that I needed help with a few decades ago.
      Besides, no one is getting any younger. Better to get used to subtitles when it's your choice than when it isn't.

    • @aneetlyfe3844
      @aneetlyfe3844 Год назад

      The issue with subtitles is that it causes the reactor to miss way too much. Solo reactors shouldn’t use subtitles. Period. You can see them reading the damn subtitles. Plus, the current reactor here has the new reactor syndrome that I just can’t stand, aka looking everywhere but at the damn tv… phones or looking at themselves in their camera. Ugh. So for new reactors as well subtitles I’ll just add even more issues for them to follow the plot and then inevitable cringe follows of the classic “tv says something clearly and concisely” reactor less than 30 secs later asks a question that the show literally just answered and then the best “says exactly the opposite the show just told them and use that as fact for the following episodes”

  • @tamarasmith9060
    @tamarasmith9060 Год назад +23

    They said there were 4 main kinds, not 4 only, so yeah the Addams family are human but freaks & geeks (like in the circus sense). Remember the teens with no faces in the background, & Wednesday is in the psychic category, a seer specifically. The original 60s show did establish that her mom & Grandma Addams both are sensitive to spirits & often held seances in order to connect with them fully. So this version takes it a bit further & says they don't have to necessarily hold a seance, I guess depending on the person's natural talent level & how much a spirit is trying to reach them.

    • @peterlewis2178
      @peterlewis2178 Год назад +4

      I don't know. I mean, at least in this rendition, Wednesday has a sadistic side, but I don't see her as really evil at all. I get the impression that a lot of her most sadistic lines aren't exactly honest, but are more so a mask that she puts on to shield herself from the world. She's still very human, and clearly has a moral compass, even if it's a bit more lax than most people's. But, I mean, the whole show she's seeking justice and trying to prevent herself from causing something terrible from happening. If she was truly sadistic, I think she would have reveled in that instead of fought against it.

    • @magicl4088
      @magicl4088 Год назад +2

      I think the joker is far more merciless and sadistic than Wednesday, we are literally comparing a weird goth girl with a fable for dark and morbid stuff with a sociopathic serial killer who likes to kill in creative ways that he finds the most funny

    @markharris1125 Год назад +14

    Ha, I spent most of the first episode wondering why you weren't mentioning Gwendoline! I have a special thing for her since I've seen her on stage twice and you always get a little thrill when a face you've seen with your own eyes pops up on TV. She was the reason I started watching.
    I kind of vaguely remembered the Addams family TV show from when I was little, but didn't know too much about it. But I have seen five now and it's a really fun show with an incredible lead. Came for Gwendoline, stayed for Jenna.

  • @LeeCarlson
    @LeeCarlson Год назад +5

    Enid told Wednesday that Fangs, Furs, Scales, and Stoners were the four major groups. We have seen students with no faces (whom I assume are Changelings or Shapeshifters) and Rowan appeared to be telekinetic, while Xander is able to bring his drawings to life, and both Rowan's mother and Xander's father are Seers (like Wednesday and Morticia) so there are lots of other "Outcasts" at Nevermore.

    With the blinking in the scene at the therapist's office there are three explanations that come to mind. One, it was filmed early in the production before the director fell in love with her not blinking during takes. Two, Wednesday knows it is an odd trait that she does not want the therapist to analyze. Three, Jena had dry eyes that day and couldn't help blinking. Personally I lean towards option One.

    • @peterlewis2178
      @peterlewis2178 Год назад +8

      Or Wednesday was just uncomfortable with the situation, and was blinking more because of that

    • @Garryck-1

    @peterlewis2178 Год назад +5

    13:24 I'll say this as if I haven't seen any more of the show than this, so as to be completely spoiler free, but I actually think it could actually be really nice if Wednesday did end up falling in love and being with someone. A lot of modern media has this focus on emphasizing female independence at the expense of romance, which I find can actually be pretty toxic. Being in a romantic relationship doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your independence, and I feel like Wednesday would be a perfect character to explore that, for her to come to that realization that she can have emotions and be in relationships without losing her self-sufficiency.

  • @spamfilter32
    @spamfilter32 4 месяца назад

    @12:15 To Wednesday, relationships are transactional, so her saving him, being repaid by him saving her fits in with her sense of how the world should work. "I do something for you, and you do something for me." This will be how she interacts with everyone throughout the show. When ever she asks someone for to do something for her or to do her a favor, it is always either preceded or followed by her doing something for them.

    The Fangs, Furs Scales and Stoners are a representation of standard "cliques" you find in regular high schools: jocks, cheerleaders and so on. As Rowan said and I agree, people like Wednesday, Rowan, Xavier, Principal Weems, Eugene and so on are the outcasts even amongst "outcasts". They do not conform to the larger more established cliques. It is never said in the series what they are, but I would like to call them Gifted as they all to have seem to have distinct powers or unusual interests: telekinesis, telepathy, animating artwork, shapeshifting and so on.

    @cmlemmus494 Год назад +1

    I prefer having subtitles. Also, I prefer the clip/ pause format. Two reasons: first, pausing frequently and commenting reduces the chance of copyright claims which will increase your output. Second, if you comment on things as they happen we see your thought process, how things change, and have context. If all you do is summarize at the end you might as well watch off-camera and just post reviews.
    @12:30 "Usually coming of age dramas ... involve romance in some way." -- That's only true in the past few decades. Traditional COA (or bildungsroman in literary terms) is more about losing childhood innocence, discovering your place in the world, making moral choices, and deciding on a life path. Think Treasure Island, Little Women, or The Outsiders. Making COA about romance is a post-Twilight phenomenon.

Wednesday seems to have several related to having visions, such as, seeing past or future events by touching someone or object reading when touch an object.
    > Dexter (2006) was a series about a serial killer that killed serial killers. A bad guy that kills bad guys.
    > You should keep subtitles on. So when you talk over the video we can at least read what is being said. Also, sometimes what is said isn't always clear. There is one word in this series that even when listening for it I swear it sounds like a different word.
    > The Addams Family (2019) is the only movie I haven't seen and it's CGI animated. In this movie I was told Wednesday has telepathy and is the first incarnation of her with a special ability.

    I like and prefer subtitles. In older shows they enunciated and had to practically shout their lines so that the boom mics could pick them up. Now actors can mumble their lines....and some times with accents or background sound/music it's hard to hear, so 99% of the time I'll use subtitles. Some times I even have CC on for youtube videos. But since most CC on RUclips have terrible accuracy, I have the off 50% of the time.
