Without her it wouldn't have been successful and would have felt like a Scooby Doo mystery. Buttttt it also wouldn’t have been as good if she did that performance but the rest wasn’t as fun, tbf, I think they just did the perfect casting with her. had the right story, and Tim Burton in 2022 was the right person to do it. If all just worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt so earned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 I get strong Harry Potter vibes from this except it's got POC and you won't feel gross because you're supporting a poopy creator (I don't know much about Charles Addams but he's not alive so he can't really tarnish his work) so I can see why this has had such broad appeal. Maybe @skillzdadirecta just skip Harry Potter and get into Wednesday instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I've heard good things about Wednesday and loved the Addams family as a kid. Friend of mine spoiled the ending for me but I'll check it out at some point. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe @skillzdadirecta just skip Harry Potter and get into Wednesday instead. I’m through 3 episodes now and to me it’s a kids show. Even when the Harry Potter actors were half the age of this shows actors it didn’t come off as a kids movie. Probably because the adult actors played a bigger role as well as the setting. Oh, and buckets of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I finished this the other night and very much enjoyed it. I can certainly see the "young adult/Harry Potter" vibes in it (themes, setting, etc.), but that doesn't change the fact that it's massively entertaining and fun, IMO. All of the cast was great, but Jenna Ortega really does stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phaseknox Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Easily one of my favorite shows in a while, entertaining and fun with a dark sense of humor. 8 hours ago, Captain Pickle said: I’m through 3 episodes now and to me it’s a kids show.

The few Harry Potter movies that I saw seemed to be aimed at a younger audience than this. I find this show to be aimed at older teens and adults. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first couple of Harry Potter movies (and books) were definitely kids' movies/books, but they also certainly grew darker with each movie/book. Wednesday seems to maintain a pretty consistent level of darkness throughout, which I think moves it at least a little bit away from "kid movie territory".

Mercury33 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Yeah I don’t get Harry Potter or Kids Show vibes from this at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I get why people would go to Harry Potter as an easy comparison point, but for me you’ve gotta narrow that down to like Half-Blood Prince. There’s a darker tone, the kids are older, there’s a mystery and a looming threat, but a lot of it is just these moody horny teens trying to get through the school year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Jenna Ortega is impressing me because with her off the screen, I get bored. She has such a huge screen presence and has the "it" factor for a star imo. She's very pretty and only fuckin 20yrs old. I had to look that up. She potentially has a great career ahead. The show is solid but not great 3 episodes in. Tim Burton is so unique as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week I watched Inside Man instead and, uh.... Not great. It's an acting tour de force, but Jesus does the plot get stupid as hell. Definitely worth it if you're a fan of the actors, as 99% of the show is comprised of scenes of two brilliant actors playing off each other, but it ends up feeling like a waste of time by the end ugh that’s disappointing to hear as I found this post looking for a thread on this because I just finished the first episode and found it super captivating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Meh. Hard to believe because I've seen numerous interviews with her and she is extremely sweet and kind.
