Replacing Christina Ricci as Wednesday is impossible and Jenna Ortega looks like a cheap replacement. These were also comments on the new Netflix series. The modern take on the story of a teenage member of the Addams Family has created a lot of discussions before it even hit the screens. But as it turns out after the first reviews, the series is doing unexpectedly well. It is now available on the platform. It was symbolically premiered on Wednesday 23 November, which is called Wednesday in English.
Jenna Ortega is very pretty on Wednesday
Actress Jenna Ortega (20) has stirred up a lot of emotions since he was cast as Wednesday. A lot of people have had a problem with her looks, including that she’s too cute and confident for a dark girl. But who saw the actress Cristina Ricci (42), who played the same character at age eleven in his subsequent roles, knows that if he were to play the teenage Wednesday, he would surely have the same problem as his successor.
Intention directed by Tim Burton (64) was from the very beginning to distinguish Wednesday from what we know from the movies. As Jenna Ortega said in an interview for Interviewhave tried countless hairstyles before choosing the right one: “We tried everything we could because it was important to Tim that it look different than before. Tiny, tiny braids and super long, thick braids. We also tried strands of gray hair. Then the fringe: at first it was short, high fashion like in Fargo, just psychopathic, but Tim didn’t like it very much. So he said we’ll move her” the actress described having a difficult time choosing a wig.
After watching the series, most people’s responses are positive and most agree that Jenna’s role is perfect. After all, on the portal too ČSFD the series is in the red and had a great 86% the day it premiered. Rather, there’s a problem with the whole wizarding world setting.
Short and stocky Gomez Addams
Another point of contention of the cast was actor Luis Guzman (66) as Gomez Addams. People have had a problem with it from the beginning and many have blamed it on Netflix. Here, however, Tim Burton was a faithful copy of the original comic image, which depicted him as a small, stocky, unattractive man of Spanish ancestry. On the other hand charming and elegant Raul Julia (†54), which starred him in two feature films, was his visual opposite. However, there was such a passion between this charismatic actor and the representative of Morticia that for many this image will remain unsurpassed, and it’s not surprising.
Catherine Zeta-Jones as the always elegant Morticia
The new Morticia Addams is actress Catherine Zeta-Jones (53), whose appearance is not from Angelica Houston (71) once again so diametrically different and that’s probably why, at least here, there weren’t any major clashes between the fans. The only thing that sounded was regret that I didn’t get the role Eve Green (42) but all the speculation about her was just a Burton fan’s idea, as was the casting Johnny Depp (59).
The cute Pugsley Addams
The least treated member of the Addams family by far was Pugsley, who also had the least space. The creators recently admitted that it’s possible that individual members could each get their own series or at least the series, so we may see more Isaac Ordonez actors in the future. So far, though, his portrayal of the youngest member of the family is definitely cuter than Jimmy Workman (42).
The problem with the whole new casting series wednesday it is a comparison with The Addams Family from 1991, because obviously that is the only correct and irreplaceable interpretation. So it’s a bit strange that if we bothered to look at the reviews on this 1990s film, we’d find that even then there were a lot of disgruntled reviewers who didn’t like the remake because they thought it was a “cheap copy” of The Family Addams from 1964. It probably doesn’t make sense to mention that the prototype was a black and white cartoon by Charles Addams, which had been published in the New Yorker since 1938. But as they say, the music was better and the grass was greener in the our youth…
