So I just finished Wednesday...finally.
Only took me all afternoon yesterday and this morning. I really had my doubts going in. I'm not a Tim Burton fan in the slightest. Some of his movies were better than others, but most were boring, to say the least. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was the most god-awful crap I've ever watched. I was terrified he would "Burton-ify" The Addams Family. Thankfully, he did not.
The show itself is really good. It kept me guessing right until the end. There was some terms that were a little too childish. "Wolf out" just sounds like "throw up." As far as casting goes, I liked almost everyone. All of the kids were great. Most of the adults. Even Uncle Fester. Armisen almost successfully resurrected Jackie Coogan's Fester. Much respect. Lurch was...not important and certainly not tall enough. But again, not important. Morticia and Gomez? I'm not sure if it was a casting disaster or a writing disaster. Perhaps both.
There's nothing to hate about this iteration of Gomez, but he lacks what Raul Julia and John Astin brought to Gomez. Burning desire for his wife, family and life. Gomez is like a child on a sugar high. That was missing from this version. The affection towards Morticia felt forced and though he was exceedingly kind and loving, he was totally not the same Gomez.
I'm not going to sugar coat Morticia. It felt like I was watching someone cosplay versus act. Carolyn Jones portrayed Morticia as kind, loving, sensitive. Angelica Huston portrayed her as a mystery and a force to be reckoned with. Catherine Zeta Jones was just dry. Her dialogue was most of the problem. It was missing that flair and dark vocabulary. Even the animated versions had that.
Lastly, I will say that this version contained the best Pugsley and Wednesday. Pugsley has always lacked. This one was a lot more lovable. I'm sure everyone has the preferences between Ortega and Ricci's Wednesdays. Most of us grew up on the 90s Addams Family movies. I see Ortega's version as a more "fleshed out" version of the character. We see more of her skills and intelligence than we did in the original movies. We even see a little nod to Lisa Loring's Wednesday dance from the original show in the Rave'n dance scene.
In conclusion, Wednesday may be one of Burton's best, in my opinion. I eagerly await season two.
(And I swear to god if something happens to Thing again, I will lose it)

WILHELMINA RIVERS (jenna ortegal fc) the odds are in your favor! Please report to your nearest Capitol Agent to be prepped for the 74th Annual Hunger Games!
OOC
Alias/Age/Pronouns/Timezones: lexi/23/she/her/est Triggers: [REDACTED] If you had to describe your muse as a canon Hunger Games character, or mix, who would you compare them to and why? Sorry that i have TBOSAS but i have Lucy Gray brainrot currently!!! but!!! i think wilhelmina is a direct product of her district!! so like i think you could lump katniss in too!! she’s not a fighter, she’s a survivor kind of vibe. District 12 is famously the runts of the districts so i think she’s just spent most of her life wondering where her next meal was coming from, keeping her head down around peacekeepers, the skills she has are because of her living situations, yktv!
BASICS
JENNA ORTEGA, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER The 74th Annual Hunger Games are upon us and here comes WILHELMINA “WILLIE” RIVERS! A DISTRICT 12 TRIBUTE. Word around The Capitol is that they’re RESOURCEFUL AND FOCUSED but can also be PESSIMISTIC AND SELFISH. According to sources, they’re NINETEEN and were once described as THE SMELL OF MORNING DEW, RUNNING BAREFOOT IN THE MEADOW, AND DISAPPEARING INTO DARK ALLEYWAYS. What a character! As always, may the odds be ever in their favor!
BIO
Wilhelmina Rivers was never meant to be born. It was a question that was often asked about District 12. “If life was so bad there, why were there still children to be reaped?” She was the fourth child to be born to Rosetta and Wilhelm Rivers. A couple that cared and loved for each other, but never knew if their next meal would be a hearty stew or a singular piece of bread. The Rivers first child, Cedar, was deeply wanted. Hardship always festered in unimaginable ways and what better joy was there than a child? Wilhelm would always bring stolen goods home after long nights in the coal mines, making sure that Rosetta was getting an ounce of nutrients for their child. Then came Caspian. Then Cress. Then there was Wilhelm’s injury. Working in the mines was no easy feat and he often came home with injuries that Rosetta would have to tend to, best she could. Medicine was never her strong suit, but they couldn’t afford an actual medic. Infection set in and two weeks before Wilhelmina’s arrival, Wilhelm died from his injuries.
With Wilhelm gone and an infant on her hip, hopelessness set in for Rosetta. Her boys, her beautiful young darling boys, had no choice but to work. Cedar was already reaping age and had been helping out as he could, but the younger boys had to follow in his footsteps quickly if they wanted a roof over their heads or food in their bellies. As Wilhelmina grew, she was never babied, as one would expect from the baby in the bunch. She was looked at with disdain by her elder brothers, as if she was a cockroach encroaching in their space for simply existing. There was nothing special about her. She wasn’t born a man so her hobbies were limited to sewing, baking, or medicine — none of which she was particularly skilled at. Food was a scarcity in the home, most of which were given to the boys to power them through the day or their mother, so Wilhelmina wasn’t particularly strong.
Her days were spent in the meadow, picking various flowers to bring home to Rosetta or lying in the field, pretending like her life wasn’t a life in District 12. When she’d close her eyes, she could picture herself in The Capitol, wearing the finest silks and eating feasts every night. Some days she would be in a Career district, volunteering herself for the games, and bringing glory to her district. She wished for a bigger life than the one she was dealt. Was it her karma for her ancestors before her? Was it luck of the draw? Everyday she would use her freetime to sit in the meadow, until one day, she met someone. She was older, no more than sixty. Her face adorned with age; creases loving the corners of her eyes and the indents of her forehead. Burning ember for hair, beginning to fade away. Marelann. Wilhelmina never knew her grandparents, it was a rare sight to be able to see anyone grow old in the Seam. Most would die of starvation, illness, or murder before they could see their later years. She tended to Wilhelmina, who she affectionately began calling Willie, as if she were her own offspring. She could sense the spirit in Wilhelmina, a girl who wasn’t able to think about a simpler life. Marelann taught the young girl about herbs and what plants were safe to consume. She was like a compass, guiding Willie towards a life she didn’t know.
Soon, she was able to forage plants she spotted. It was never a satisfying meal, but it kept the growling in her stomach at bay. Marelann went first, her body no longer able to handle the harsh district. Mama came down with the illness soon after. Wilhelmina was far from a medic, but she was able to forage and the following spring, she began her garden. The boys would bring in broths, bread, and medicine whenever they could afford it. It was the first time Willie felt like she and the boys were related to one another, to at least come together for Rosetta.
Willie was no great beauty. Her hair was always cut in a haphazard fashion, never one to prioritize a decent haircut. Her eyes were dull and sunken in from years of malnutrition. Her fingernails were always dirty underneath from being arms deep in soil. But, she had an advantage. She was a single woman, no man in the Seam would want her unless it was for love. Peacekeepers could be charmed, though. A night with her in exchange for medical supplies or better food.
Wilhelmina Rivers. Maybe she was too hopeful, but Willie didn’t think she would ever be reaped. It was all left up to fate. Her brothers should have been reaped before her, their names were in it more than hers combined. She felt her breath hitch, looking around to see if she could make some kind of escape. Pointless. Her hands clawed at her dress, a hand me down from her mother’s closet that was far too bulky against her body. She looked more like a potato sack than a young woman. Willie knew what that meant for her. She was a dead girl walking. She would be almost useless in the games. She just hoped to stay alive for as long as her body let her.

Who knew SCREAM VI would be my favorite installment of this slasher franchise in a very long time? Despite the much talked about absence of Neve Campbell, the film actually seems all the better without her presence included. Underdeveloped characters from 2022’s SCREAM actually get arcs that flesh them out in ways that we actually like and root for them. The New York City locale could have been used a bit more, but it’s a great change of scenery from your standard suburban Woodsboro. We have a Ghostface character who takes no prisoners, managing to be brutal and unrelenting to the point where you actually fear him or her (or them). And for a two-hour movie, it felt shorter than some of the other installments. Radio Silence did a great job directing this movie, actually bringing tons of tension and suspense to the point where I actually feared for some of these characters. And the younger cast feel more confident and actually get things to do, especially Melissa Barrera who actually gets to play a lead character that I wouldn’t mind being the center of this newer trilogy. I also thought the returns of Courteney Cox and Hayden Panettiere were fun additions. Despite some plot holes and an annoying tendency to play it too safe with protecting characters - a more brutal Ghostface should have had a higher body count - I think SCREAM VI is the best installment since the first one. Or at least, it’s on par with SCREAM 2, which this film clearly pays a great homage to. Since this movie made a lot of money, we’re clearly getting another one. Hopefully SCREAM VII continues the upward momentum and takes more risks.
