Ortega’s Wednesday is the most openly narcissistic of the portrayals, veering far from borderline status directly into the headlights of sociopathic indulgence. She appears in the Netflix series to endorse and champion a new generation with a harsher take.
The gold standard, however, is Christina Ricci’s embodiment in the Barry Sonnenfeld films. The kookiest reimagining may be Melissa Hunter, who played her in the sadly underseen YouTube series Adult Wednesday Addams. Chloë Grace Moretz, who voiced the character in the animated The Addams Family films, is the ookiest. The Wednesday Addams character was originated for series TV by Lisa Loring, who remains the spookiest. Named for the day of woe, she sees things in black and white, with an emphasis on black, and looks like a living black-and-white Instagram filter. Socially awkward by design, Wednesday is a teenager, snarky, snide, and unyielding in judgements, and Wednesday is a coming-of-age story. Ortega brings extreme confidence, committed to make Wednesday stand out in the midst of an overriding desire to be ignored. The internal logic is tested on a few fronts. This should put her in solid with Wednesday, but the crack remains. Yet, this person uses the supernatural, invoking both dark magic and Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. One character is very un-monstrous, from a family of anti-outcasts who burned them at the stake as witches in the 1600s. Usually we see the storyline through the entire family, but this time it's all about Wednesday and we love that.There are holes, of course, nothing stitched together like an old corpse would be complete without them. The series is a "horror comedy," and like the Addams Family always does, it's sure to fully embrace the importance of family values.
Wednesday Addams is the perfect character that captures dark and mysterious, yet also still an essence of naive youth and curiosity. She is being played by Jenna Ortega, with Luís Guzman as Gomez Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, and it even has the most popular Wednesday Addams Christina Ricci making an appearance. It's quickly gaining popularity even before it's release, and of course it is-Wednesday is a bada$s. It follows Wednesday Addams around and is simply called Wednesday.
The series comes out this fall and is directed by Tim Burton. Spooky season is right around the corner and those getting a head start at getting in the spooky mood are doing so by gearing up for the release of the newest series on Netflix about the infamous dark-souled little girl from The Addams' Family, Wednesday Addams.
