In the Addams Family series Wednesday is younger than Pugsley. In the first movies they were almost the same age. In the new animated movies she was a bit older. In the new series she is a lot older. Her age keeps on changing.
I like that she's the older protective big sister now. It fits her character better. The whole only I can torture my brother things works in this case.
It seems that they go to the same school. Nancy Reagan High School. If she's 15, she's probably a sophomore. Pugsley could definitely be the same age or within a year either side, he just doesn't have as dominant a personality as Wednesday. Question is why weren't they sent to Nevermore in the first place? "They've been looking for any excuse to send me here." is all we really get.
@Josh Freeman I had the same question, my head Canon figured that Wednesday refused because she didn't want to follow in her mother's foot steps ... that does not answer why pugsley doesn't go though
Well, they can also made Wednesday bi, I don't see a problem with that, but there's pretty much nothing romantic going on between the two of them and I hope that doesn't get pushed into it somehow. That would be like suddenly having a relationship with Eugene.
I like how in the netflix show, even though shes in a love triangle, she doesnt immediately go goo goo for one of them. She just basically goes "but why though" for most of the time it comes up
In the 1964 TV show, Pugsley was the oldest sibling. (Pugsley being 8 years and on Wednesday being 6 years old.) But after that, in The Addams Family (1991; Pugsley is 8, Wednesday is 10) and also in Addams Family Values (1993; Pugsley is 10, Wednesday is 12)) Wednesday became the older sibling in all future versions of The Addams Family. 🤓
I just binge watched this series and could not help to keep comparing it to the original TV show from the 60's that I watched all the time. It never crossed my mind to compare it to the movies from the 90s. I enjoyed it greatly nonetheless.
Sooooo...we're just gonna say Raul Julia looks racially ambiguous and leave it at that, and not touch on how he too was Puerto Rican and set the bar for Gomez being the "Latin lover" character that we know Gomez to be? And how the creator of the comic had that idea for Gomez in mind...okay. 🤔🤷🏿♀️
Yeah, I don’t get this video at all. Raul Julia was not ambiguous at all…he was one of the greatest Latinx actors of all time and hands down the most famous Puerto Rican actor until Lin Manuel-Miranda came along.
I notice that quite a bit over the last couple of years. So much to say about representation and 'firsts' when all it has been done before and really isn't much of anything new.
Right I thought about this earlier cause someone said something about Guzman not being as romantic as Julia although I enjoyed both their portrayal of gomez .
I think we always knew Wednesday is the older sibling. In the 1993 Addam's family, when Debbie talks to her and Pugsley about Pubert she says something along understanding that they would want it to be just them to again. Wednesday say her iconic "or less".
yeah i think in the 90's movies wednesday was older, in the xlassic black and white tv series puggsly was, and to my knowlesge eveey other iteration has left it ambiguous
There were always suggestions in previous versions that the grandmother was a witch, the question was which parent the grandmother was related to. There was even a joke about it in the musical. But there was rarely a doubt they were Latin.
The grandma is Morticia's mom. There was a scene in The Addams Family when Morticia took Fester to the grave to remind him of his family ancestors, and showed him the statues of 'Mama and Papa Addams', assumingly they were the late parents of Fester and Gomez. Additionally, if the grandma was the paternal mom, she couldn't had been kicked out with Gomez and his family when Fester, the oldest son and heir, was manipulated to kick his younger brother's family out. The grandma, if she was Fester and Gomez's mom, would have had some rights as much as the heir, to save Gomez's family from being kicked out.
I absolutely love the series . Hope they get picked up for another season . Congratulations to everyone involved they all did an excellent job. Loved it all .
Personally, I think the biggest difference is that Wednesday is a different person. For fun, Lisa Loring played with dynamite blasting caps in her bedroom, Christina Ricci put her brother in a homemade electric chair and flipped the switch,....Jenna writes morbid detective novels...?
@DaveNF2G I guess I can except this is a more mature Wednesday, but Ricci gave me the impression that Wednesday would mature into psychopathic serial killer... I guess in a way that happened also.
Honestly, I’m a bit surprised that there was virtually no controversy about the decision to cast a Latina actress in a role that was originally played by white actresses, but I’m glad that there was no controversy because Jenna Ortega really did a fantastic job in her portrayal as Wednesday Adams. She shouldn’t have to experience any online hate or overtly racists comments in her casting like so many other actresses of color like Halle Bailey, Zendaya, or Rachel Zegler had to go through unfortunately.
14:36 It's more of a friendship than a love interest I suppose, but I would say Eugene is in the running too, she cared so much for him and stayed with him once in a while in the Hospital, even though most of that may be from guilt I still think there could be something there.
Pugsley could be the same age as Wednesday and being sent to another school seems quite reasonable. Wednesday caused herself to be transferred from another school where Pugsley would be able to fit in better at while being the same age. Girls do have their growth spurt a bit sooner than boys irl. Bo being taller and the same age isn't an issue. Barely an inconvenience, to coin a phrase.
Raul Julia was Puertorican. his portrayal was absolutely iconic and nailed so many aspects of the background making Gomez feel as if he could have been Boricua. Wednesday didn't break any new ground and fail to screenrant for trying to pretend it did.
Interesting evolution of Thing. On the '60s TV series, unless both characters shared a scene, Thing was acted by Ted "Lurch" Cassidy. Due to the more primitive special effects and lack of green screen, Thing was generally able to appear as the Thing in a Box in a variety of conveniently placed boxes around the set. Convenient for Thing, that is, though often uncomfortable and cramped for the exceptionally tall Cassidy.
Uncle Fester is also Hispanic, since Fred Armisen is half Venezuelan. Fred's mother was born in San Fernando de Apure, and his father was Korean and German.
@@CT-uv8os You do realize the patriarch is called "Gomez", and the cartoon Gomez looked more like the actor in Wednesday, than any previous iteration? The name Gomez was first used in the TV show.

@@KasumiRINA I don't think that's the case, but I did know some people in college who used European ancestry to apply to graduate degree programs as "Hispanic". The problem is also that their are plenty of rich people from Mexico, Central and South America, who are totally white European ancestry. The upper class of most Latin American countries are "Castilians", or ethnically white Spaniards, with no indigenous ancestry. Many Latin American "Castilians" even speak with the Spanish “Ceceo” lisp, to differentiate themselves from the lower classes. Then again, there are parts of the United States, where speaking English with any Spanish accent, is cause for discrimination, no matter the skin tone.
@@PlugInRides I mean the terminology usage:, football here is when you kick a ball with your foot, and Hispanic means someone with Spanish ancestry... but in USA "Hispanic" means Latin Americans. We used the word mestizos to refer to people of mixed Native American descent but "latinos" works too (and probably better, less dated)... it's the word Hispanic that is confusing because Hispania is Spain, not Mexico or Colombia. Another thing that confuses us is that "Caucasian" and "black" are synonymous in Eastern Europe, while Americans use the word "Caucasian" to mean "white"... Like, Armenians are from Caucasus and are considered black here. Not because of skin color (which is tan, not black), but the hair, eyes, and general hairiness compared to Nordic or Central European peoples... but it's the other way around, calling someone with British or German ancestry "Caucasian" is what brings cultural shock. Oh and there's a weirder thing in Europe where some don't consider people from Italy white... I've heard people say that "Italians are basically gypsies", and yeah, I personally can't tell apart Romanians, Romani or Sicilians apart. *shrugs* But generally, there isn't a collective "white people" in Europe same way it is in USA... A light skinned Swede would not consider themselves closer to a light skinned Polish person than to someone dark-skinned from Sweden... Identity is less about skin color, and more around language, ethno-cultural boundaries, and religion, or at least political nationality... any American would be a Yankee, regardless if they're 86% Irish Catholic from dixieland. But then we don't consider family of a Spaniard and French woman mixed race or something, as the cultural segregation history here is very different (not less bad, skull measuring and all, just... not the same, YMMV if having to track generations to discriminate people is worse than just using Family Guy skin color swatch lol).

Striving to be courteous is never a bad thing - however most of the Hispanic and Latin community have pretty soundly rejected the non-Spanish word “latinx” - and as the word was invented in an effort to make a nongendered version of Latino and Latina, saying “latinax” is the height of irony 😂.
@@thesuperiorhobgoblin9048 Depends, in english I'd probably say latina or latin person. In dutch I'd probably say latino person (translated). In my experience our word for 'Latin' _(Latijns)_ is commonly mistaken for the 'Latin' language _(Latijn)._
I adore Raul Julia but Guzman knocked us out of the park. I love Jenna Ortega as Wednesday. She brought a depth to this and her own emphasis. I'm definitely there for season 2.
Honestly I would had prefered if they had used Cristina Ricci again as Wednesday, even with no CGI as shes aging gorgeusly! I have no prob with Jenna Ortega, I think she's a great actress and Im sure a bright future is ahead for her, she really deserves it, but Cristina Ricci is the unique Wednesday for me❤️🔥
If we talk about romantic interests for Wednesday, I would still go with Joel. There is almost nothing special about him and he has as much trouble fitting in as Wednesday. At the end of the Movie we can even see Wednesday admitting that she has romantic feelings for him, just in- well... her way.
The way you explained it. The new series does not sound very comical. So I might be interested if I had Netflix. Will not loose any sleep if I never see the series though!!
They could be the same age and she would still be extremely protective of him. As the father of twins, I can assure you that they are extremely protective of each other.
In common American usage, "Latin" is almost synonymous with Hispanic. When is the last time you heard someone of French or Romanian ancestry, being called "Latin", despite both having Latin derived languages? The term "Latin", comes not from anything to do with ancient Europe, but is short for "Latin American". Technically, Brazilians are Latin American, but people from Spain, Portugal and Italy are not "Latin", since they don't come from countries in Latin America.
That's probably why most people nowadays use latino when the origin is LatAm vs latin for Latin in general (including european countries/languages/etc).
Jenna's portrayal of Wednesday is actually the most ethnically accurate version of her. Wednesday is of Latin decent in every version of the family. I dig it. 😎
This list contained way too much cringe identity politics. I didn't care that she was Spanish, but why do you feel the need to celebrate "diversity" and use the super cringe term "Latinx" which no Latino would use because it goes against the rules of their language. Then you celebrate the possibly Wednesday and the Wolf Girl could be a couple. Do you really feel the need to push "the message" when and where it is not needed or desired?
I wonder about this Casting. Gomez in the 90’s was tall dark and handsome. Now that he’s brown you go in a completely different direction. Why? There’s tall dark and handsome brown men too.
thanks to this... I was really thinking about what's the difference between Christina Ricci's Wednesday and Jenna Ortega's Wednesday. All I know is that even though Christina Ricci's Wednesday is perfect to the young version, it won't be a good Wednesday for the Netflix version.
Difference in the generations too. The 60's fit their era, and 90's and so forth. As 90's is more simple and yet extraordinary this one seems to have to produce layers. Besides these days it's about ourselves not families, right? I could be considerably wrong
I don't like the love triangle at all. It's weird. I'd love a book version of this to know what Wednesday was actually thinking during these things as it's not really confirmed how she really felt.
I enjoyed the show but I don't buy that anyone likes Wednesday at all, especially romantically. She's an absolute jerk to everyone around her. Some of them even get seriously physically injured directly because of her. It's a stretch that anyone wouldn't hate her let alone actually like her.
I really wish you people would just stop acting like you know what a Hispanic person should look like. Hispanic countries’ populations are Spanish influenced. There white and brown Spaniards. So, a blonde- or brown-haired Mexican, Colombian or Puerto Rican would not be unheard of. Also, to say that Raul Julia’s ethnicity is ambiguous is just ignorant. First, as a Hispanic, he definitely looks Spanish, so a black-haired, brown-haired or blonde-haired Gomez would’ve been appropriate. You should just stop speaking about race. It makes you all look like bigots.
This all makes me appreciate what an amazing job Christina Ricci did at 10. She understood the character so well and hit a home run for child acting.
Her Pocahontas scene gives me life to this day. Talk about commitment in acting!
It’s why Tim Burton called her to be included in this series !

Is it weird I like the Enid-Wednesday relationship development way more than the two boys "competing" for Wednesday's affection?
Not weird at all! Many would agree.
They should have been together and Gomez and Morticia would be supportive parents you know they would
What development? Literally no romance between them.
Yea. Next season no romance that shy if they cannot even write it well was crying in cringe
Enid reminded me of a puppy that wanted her head scratched. She was perfect for the role.
Raúl Juliá was also puerto rican 🤷♂️😂
This list contained way too much cringe identity politics. I didn't care that she was Spanish, but why do you feel the need to celebrate "diversity" and use the super cringe term "Latinx" which no Latino would use because it goes against the rules of their language. Then you celebrate the possibly Wednesday and the Wolf Girl could be a couple. Do you really feel the need to push "the message" when and where it is not needed or desired?
The new show is something the CW would throw up
Am I the only one that got a Nero vibe when she was playing her cello while the statue burned?
She did name her pet scorpion Nero, and it was a very fiddle while Rome burned moment
@@beesknees947 So the myth goes. The history is a bit different. And a cello isn't a fiddle.
🦂
@@philippdaphiladelphia4440 and a fictional town ain't Rome.
That's a water polo team, not a swim team.
The boy who plays Pugsley in Wednesday sort of resembles a young Raul Julia
I wonder about this Casting. Gomez in the 90’s was tall dark and handsome. Now that he’s brown you go in a completely different direction. Why? There’s tall dark and handsome brown men too.
All the previous Gomezes were lithe. This one is chubby and not suave like the previous ones, nor as he was portrayed when the met at the school.
3:20 "kinda charming, if ure twisted enough"
yes, yes I am
IT'S 4 AM and you show the Hyde?!
The events from the first Addams Family movie are canon to the Wednesday series.
thanks to this... I was really thinking about what's the difference between Christina Ricci's Wednesday and Jenna Ortega's Wednesday. All I know is that even though Christina Ricci's Wednesday is perfect to the young version, it won't be a good Wednesday for the Netflix version.
Difference in the generations too. The 60's fit their era, and 90's and so forth. As 90's is more simple and yet extraordinary this one seems to have to produce layers. Besides these days it's about ourselves not families, right?
I could be considerably wrong
1:25 no puglsy didn't get sent to nevermore for not the age but he did not almost commit a crime of murder with piranhas
Number 1 difference is Wednesday grew up. Obviously, she takes after Morticia.
Am I the only one who realizes every episode in Wednesday has the word woe in it?
you forgot the epic dancing scene!!!
I keep getting a picture of Rodimus from the movie Waiting.
"This is a little game we play"
Relationship goals, am i right ? Lmfaooo
how about Lurch?
Too white.
I don't like the love triangle at all. It's weird. I'd love a book version of this to know what Wednesday was actually thinking during these things as it's not really confirmed how she really felt.
I enjoyed the show but I don't buy that anyone likes Wednesday at all, especially romantically. She's an absolute jerk to everyone around her. Some of them even get seriously physically injured directly because of her. It's a stretch that anyone wouldn't hate her let alone actually like her.
BUT ... by the last episodes the whole Nightshade group rallies around her, and the whole school sees she saved them. Re-watch the last episode.
@@philippdaphiladelphia4440 for no actual reason other than the plot needs it to happen. Why would any of them have reason to like her at that point?
@@maxpiemuse9584 Because she save their lives, individually, and collectively?!?
Don't forget to snap twice? Don't tell Thanos that.
Raul Julia was literally Puerto Rican 🙄
Don’t understand why people ship wednesday with enid I don’t even see any chemistry between them. Love her with tyler even If he was the villain.
I wish Lurch would get some lines or at least his classic....uhhhhhh sound. So far...not a peep.
In my opinion i liked the comedy type of thing the other movies had
LoV the new show
Not a swim team, water polo is a sport.
wednesday 1991 will come back
Wednesday on Netflix is scary with her actions the other one is scary n creepy even with just with her words
Christina is scarier
YOU MISSED PUGSLY'S HAIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
"so glad that dude lost a testicle"
Aw hell nah he ain't no dude no more💀
Not a girl either
Testicles don't define what makes "dudes".
Seeing these comparisons I'm definitely for Jenny Ortegas Wednesday Addams
“American history”
No bud that’s world history don’t blame one single country
I really wish you people would just stop acting like you know what a Hispanic person should look like. Hispanic countries’ populations are Spanish influenced. There white and brown Spaniards. So, a blonde- or brown-haired Mexican, Colombian or Puerto Rican would not be unheard of. Also, to say that Raul Julia’s ethnicity is ambiguous is just ignorant. First, as a Hispanic, he definitely looks Spanish, so a black-haired, brown-haired or blonde-haired Gomez would’ve been appropriate. You should just stop speaking about race. It makes you all look like bigots.
Thing is also a big character
Drink challenge: Let’s take a shot every time the narrator say “Wednesday”.
Or awesome.
