Best Way to Do Wednesday Addams Justice? Make Her a Villain (Finally)
Okay, maybe not Wanda Maximoff-in-Multiverse-of-Madness kind of villain, but you get it.
Despite Wednesday 's global triumph on Netflix, many Addams Family fans are still underwhelmed by how the first season of Tim Burton's adaptation treated the gothic enfant terrible.
There are many things people still can't get over, from Wednesday's mellowing by the end of the season to that questionable love triangle.
However, hopes are still high for the upcoming second season. With Jenna Ortega now being an executive producer of the show, many fans hope that she will live up to her title of love triangle hater and ditch it in the sequel.
But that is not the only thing people are hoping for.
First things first. Who is Wednesday Addams? It would be a stretch to call her a protagonist in the traditional sense of the word.
This girl is no heroine; if anything, she was the perfect embodiment of an anti-hero, not horrible enough to despise, but just edgy enough to adore.
Well, the Netflix adaptation certainly had to tone down some of the more bizarre treats that she had, apparently in an effort to make her less morally questionable.
With the success of the first season ensuring that season 2 will get the attention it deserves, fans think it's time for bolder choices.
"Personally I think [being an anti-hero] would be fitting of the character as well as make for a more intriguing season 2. There have been many anti-hero shows lately, but I think with both the character of Wednesday and Jenna's acting it could be one of the most promising cases for it," Redditor bwoahful___ noted.
We know that even villains can be fan favorites these days, so a darker path is still possible for Netflix's Wednesday, especially if Ortega — a well-known fan of horror — is up for it.
After season 1 almost made her a classic heroine in a shining armor, some villainy is just what the doctor ordered, fans believe.
The second season of Wednesday has been greenlit by Netlfix, but the premiere date is yet to be scheduled.
