One Missing Addams Family Member Netflix's Wednesday Chose to Ignore
Remember the mustachioed baby from The Addams Family Values?
As the name of Netflix 's hit show Wednesday suggests, Wednesday Addams, her experiences and personal growth are its primary focus, leaving the rest of the Addams family in supporting roles.
Still, longtime Addams fans enjoyed seeing Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, and Lurch during their occasional school visits and were pleasantly surprised to meet Uncle Fester in Episode 7, when he helped the niece move forward with her supernatural investigation
With the show officially renewed for Season 2, there may be other nostalgic family members that have yet to make an appearance. For example, fans still haven't met Cousin Itt and Grandmama. But there is another canon character who will likely never appear on the fan-favorite show. It is Wednesday's youngest brother, Pubert Addams.
Although Pubert played a significant role in The Addams Family Values, he is often forgotten by viewers. The third child of Gomez and Morticia, Pubert was an important member of the family. He was a spitting image of his parents, with a sophisticated mustache and extremely pale skin.
According to the 1993 movie, Wednesday and Pugsley weren't exactly happy when their younger brother was born, thinking he could replace either of them, and from time to time tried to murder the baby using various methods such as the guillotine.
But being a true Addams, Pubert survived all attempts and even saved the family in the end by electrocuting Uncle Fester's gold-digging wife, a black widow who tried to kill the entire Addams clan for the inheritance.
For some reason, Pubert never appeared in another Addams project. There was only a brief mention of him in The Addams Family Reunion when Wednesday said that Pugsley had eaten their baby brother. Of course, she may have been embellishing reality. But maybe the Addams siblings really did get rid of their brother. The new Netflix show seems to have no intention of exploring this topic.
If Pubert was with the family, he would already be a schoolboy and would definitely accompany the family when they took Wednesday to Nevermore Academy or came for Parents' Day. So it is highly unlikely that the character will ever show up on Wednesday. However, his absence could be explained by another hilarious, gruesome tale of Wednesday or her family.
