When I see people recalling Tyler's crimes it makes me laugh. Yes, Tyler killed people. And ? Do you think that makes it impossible to have redemption ? Something tells me this kind of person isn't used to enemies-to-lovers romances in fiction. And then, people forget the whole context around why Tyler committed these murders, namely that he was forced by a psychopath who awakened the Hyde in him, also amounting to a monstrous 2nd personality that she enslaved to let him do what she wanted. We are more of a victim than a master killer and/or manipulation. Yes, because many still like to convince themselves that Tyler never loved Wednesday. People love to forget to think. Literally, it's easy to understand that Tyler has no idea that Wednesday was his mistress' target when he met her. Many Wylers understood this long before the Tyler actor's statements. Between his attitude and the fact that he tried to help her leave town, it seems obvious. And then, without forgetting all the times or during the show, Tyler looks at Wednesday completely in love when she is not looking. Who would he pretend to be for? The spectator? Wednesday isn't the kind of show that requires deep thought, it's pretty standard. So I worry about people who don't understand Tyler's character. Including one of my own friends who is however... very good in her way of thinking about many very complex things. So, wtf ? Also, why do people act like Wednesday could never forgive Tyler ? He has very extenuating circumstances, not to mention that she likes to protect the underdog and that Tyler is the ultimate outcast, even among outcasts. Yes, he tried to kill people she loves, but ultimately they are alive. And again, there are extenuating circumstances. Why couldn't she actually forgive again? I doubt she has such a special attachment to Tyler's other victims that she would never forgive him. It's stupid. She didn't care about these people. And once again, the real killer in the story isn't even Tyler. Tyler was basically just a puppet. Let the antis Wyler and Typer Galpin go fuck themselves frankly.

WEDNESDAY ADDAMS x TYLER GALPIN | Wednesday 1.06 “Quid Pro Woe” — wyler screencaps (part 2 of ∞)

[illyrian-jedi]

I'm back, sharing my unasked for opinions

Wednesday Edition: Part 1

• As much as I love Xavier, who is a better fit for Wednesday than the manipulative psychopath killer, Tyler Galphin? Imo, Xavier is too nice for Wednesday, he won't embrace the darker sides of Wednesday like Tyler did.

• Do I think Wednesday will completely forgive Tyler for manipulating her? No. But I also think she's going to need him in season 2 and he will be in control of the Hyde enough for her to trust him again.

• I don't think he did anything out of a want to actually hurt Wednesday, and I think she will realize that. Tyler was very clearly groomed and manipulated and was in no control of the Hyde. I hope we get to see the effects mentally and emotionally that Thornhill had on Tyler, and I hope that means we see him rely on Wednesday because he knows she is the only one he can trust

• Not necessarily an opinion, but something I found funny... If my man Xavier didn't want Wednesday to think he was the Hyde, maybe stop drawing it and showing up when it attacks. You kinda set yourself up for that one buddy. And yes, Wednesday could have trusted him, but she trusted Tyler and we saw where that ended sooo love him, but my guy maybe dial it back on the creepy if you want to get her to trust that you're not the monster.

• Uncle Fester >>>

Anyways, this concludes today's rant of unasked for opinions. Part 2 coming soon!

[nighttimeebony]

Complaining about the love triangle in Wednesday, and complaining about Xavier and Tyler's (but mostly Xavier's) existence as characters. Spoilers and bitching below the cut.

I just don’t understand how two characters with actual superpowers managed to be so boring and unoriginal. Especially Xavier, who was already established as having a connection with Wednesday from their childhood. And considering his superpowers, they could have made it so that his personality compliments his superpowers, like we see with other characters.

Bianca is a siren, so she’s charismatic, confident, and ruthless. It makes sense that the school’s queen bee is a siren. Enid is a werewolf, so her personality is exactly like that of an energetic puppy; she’s friendly, sociable, but she’s also got more than a bit of a temper when provoked.

Xavier can make his artwork come to life, but he also has prophetic dreams, so he’s… mopey and emotionless. He’s not even creepy.

Since we know that he and Wednesday met when they were children, he could have been creepy and macabre like her and the rest of her family. If Xavier was allowed to be creepy or even remotely weird, he would have made for a nice contrast to the other characters’ friendliness while also giving Wednesday something familiar to help her navigate an unfamiliar environment.

Xavier also could have been one of the reasons why Wednesday would actually want to stay at Nevermore aside from the murder mystery she feels compelled to solve. While Wednesday does grow to love and appreciate characters like Enid and Eugene, at the start, Wednesday and Enid have basically nothing in common, and Enid seems to just get on her nerves more than anything else.

If you went the creepy, kooky and altogether ooky route with Xavier’s personality, Enid could then be the friend that gets Wednesday out of her comfort zone, while Xavier could be the friend that she just feels naturally comfortable with. She’d have someone that she could trade banter and dark jokes with, the only person that isn’t immediately put-off by her, the first person she meets outside of her family that would just get her. Then the romance between them would actually make sense.

And they could have done this!

One of Wednesday’s first real smiles of the series is when Xavier reminds her of the day they met at the funeral. But no. Xavier had to spend the rest of the season being weirdly infatuated with Wednesday, despite him having no reason to be, and also playing into the “nice guy” trope when Wednesday doesn’t return his feelings.

The show never even attempts to make you care about either Xavier or Tyler. Sure, Tyler has dead mom syndrome, but Tyler never expresses how he actually feels about it. He never reminisces on any fond memories he might have had of his mother or anything he knows about her, a fact that is especially weird in a show that uses family to develop its characters.

Wednesday is a character basically defined by the family she’s apart of, and in the show she is desperate to get out from her parents’ shadow (a weird choice, but at least a choice was made). But more than that, it’s established that she readily protects people from bullies because of the way her brother was bullied at school. While she states that she wants nothing more than to escape her parents’ shadow, it’s also shown that she inherited a lot of her interests and values from her parents, and that she would not be the person she is without them.

Enid’s biggest insecurity is the fact that she hasn’t “wolfed out” yet like the rest of her siblings, and that it has estranged her from her family and made her a source of disappointment for her mother.

Bianca’s whole character conflict is the fact that her mother is a cult leader that uses her siren abilities to manipulate her followers, and she’s trying to make Bianca follow in her footsteps, which Bianca fiercely rebels against.

But Xavier? We know literally nothing about his family, his past, or if he even has a life outside of Wednesday. Like, the only story from his past is the story of how he met Wednesday. We later learn that he and Bianca used to date, but why? We never learn the reason why they got together, but we know the reason they broke up: Xavier dumped her because he thought she was using her Siren powers on him (which she wasn’t). Great, so the only thing we learn from that is that Xavier is a racist dick and that Bianca, apparently, has no taste in men, considering that she spends a frustratingly long amount of time trying to get back together with him.

The reveal of this relationship only brings up more questions than it actually answers. Why did they get together? What did Bianca ever see in Xavier? Why did Xavier get into a relationship with her in the first place if the reason he broke up with her was because he thought she was manipulating him? But also, what evidence did he have to come to this conclusion in the first place? Especially if we know that Bianca wasn’t manipulating him?? Which, if we’re following that line of thought, what did Xavier even like about Bianca? All we ever learn about their relationship is one line of dialogue from Bianca, where she says that they were “good together”, but were they? How? It just doesn’t make any sense, and it’s really stupid.

The more I think about Xavier as a character, the angrier he makes me, because he really was just so unnecessary. The only use he has is to set up a love triangle and be an alternative suspect in Wednesday’s investigation. Basically, he only exists to get framed and make Wednesday feel vaguely guilty about inadvertently arresting the wrong person.

[hitchell-mope]

Stay away from your son sheriff.

[painofhumanity]

Tyler & Sheriff Galpin are the depressing alternate version of Stiles & Sheriff Stilinski.

Both (obviously) have a small town/county sheriff as a single parent to a son who tends to get into trouble. Both have a dead wife/mother who had some kind of mental illness that was related to her death. Both fathers struggle with missing their wife, seeing her in their son, and using drinking to cope. . .

And here's where the two paths diverge:

Sheriff Galpin avoids spending any kind of significant, quality time with his son. He sees his son struggling, and does literally nothing to help him (reminder that Tyler is in therapy by court order, not because his dad cares about his mental health). He refuses to talk about his wife, even when his son begs to talk about her. He refuses to go to therapy with Tyler. He doesn't really seem to care that his son has no friends, no life outside of school and work. When Tyler starts making friends, all he can do is tell Tyler to stay away from them, without bothering to get to know them. He hardly sees his son is struggling, and what he does notice, he actively ignores. The only real fatherly thing he does is try to protect Tyler from getting arrested, but even then, he's not actually helping Tyler, or talking to him about anything important. He literally spends more time talking to the Nevermore kids (whom he hates), than his own son. Yells at Tyler for bullshit reasons, says things like "I'm paying for therapy, I deserve to know what you're talking about" and "Don't be talking bad about me". Actively, repeatedly, ignores the signs of Tyler being a Hyde like his mom.

Sheriff Stilinski goes out of his way to spend time with Stiles. He's still working? He takes Stiles on a ride-along, picks them up dinner, and they sit in the cruiser and talk, or Stiles brings food and they eat together in his office. He tries to go to the lacrosse games when he can, even though he knows Stiles rarely plays. He always tries to talk to Stiles when he's upset about something, even if Stiles only gives him half-truths. Stilinski asks about school, about Stiles' friends, about girls. Even though Malia is odd, he makes an effort to get to know her, too, because she's important to his son. He talks about missing his wife with his son. He actively tries to avoid taking anger/frustration out on Stiles--"Maybe I just don't wanna feel any worse by yelling at my own son." Literally makes a list of all the things Stiles is doing that remind him of Claudia's FTD symptoms, and talks to his nurse bestie about the signs, and immediately gets Stiles help.

Writing Patterns

Tagged by the amazing @onlyelaine, you amazing writer you. Thanks for the tag!!!

Rules: list the last lines of the last 10 fics you've posted to see if there is a pattern.

10. The Chain on Our Doors Because Tyler Galpin was sure of one thing: as long as he was alive, he was never going to get past the devastation that was Wednesday Addams. 

9. If We Don't Stop Wanting in the Long Dark When she kisses him again, it does indeed feel like a new season unfurling in her dark little soul, his soul curled next to hers, next to hers to stay.

8. Today We Feast Her pack was already right here.

7. All The Punches I'd Throw in the Name of Someone I Don't Even Know “And if you’re so intent on arson, maybe a small fire? There is a certain shed that belongs to a Xavier Thorpe…”

6. The Blessing Later, he would dump the rest of his coffee and whiskey, greeting the frosty dawn with a sober mind and a hope that burned in his chest like a good, clean fire.

5. The Difference Between Love and Danger “Tomorrow, we have to go back to see my mother.”

4. Pros and Cons He felt his lips curl into an unbidden grin, and he thought to himself how she truly might be the death of him, this dark, strong wisp of a woman.

3. The Mistletoe Solution “Come on, Tyler. It’s about time you took me home.” 

2. We Have Always Shared a Language “Hate it for you, but looks like you’re stuck with me, cockroach.”

We're All Monsters “Let’s go finish this.”

Just realized that I have exactly ten Wednesday fanfics and I don't think I have a single pattern. Just pure chaos, yeehaw!!

I'm always frustrated when people think Tyler Galpin is a bad guy.

There is one case that frustrates me as much as it makes me laugh because there are people saying that it feels like Hanz in Frozen. A stupid twist that makes no sense with the guy's primary personality.

And I say to myself... But is this normal ? The whole principle of Tyler's character is that he seems to have two personalities ! How can people miss this ? Just the name Hyde is a sufficient answer, and to further support the reference, the psychologist herself says that Tyler seems to have two different personalities in his recordings...

So, how can you miss that ?

Also, how can you miss... I don't know, the whole scene explaining Laurel's manipulation of Tyler ?

I mean it's not subtext, we saw with our eyes this woman psychologically manipulate him through the promise of finding information on his mother and physically torture him !

Then, of course it's subtext... But the implication of Laurel's sexual abuse of Tyler is very strong and is one of the least subtle subtexts that I have seen in my life.

Have you seen how this woman touches Tyler ? Who caresses a teenager's hands / arms / face like that ?! Even the principal was fucking uncomfortable when Laurel mistook her for Tyler ! And this crazy thing is called mom ? No, really, no one understood the implication ? Not forgetting that when she tortured him, it was when he was chained completely naked. Naked. Nothing shocks you with all these elements put together ?

There's very nothing subtle about it...

Holy shit, when you rewatch the series with the truth about Tyler in mind, one of the dialogues in Laurel's carnivorous plants classes takes on a whole new meaning. When she explain this :

Personally, the first time I saw the series, I definitely felt the symbolic grooming vibes, but this dialogue was completely reinforcing and it makes me fucking want to cry every time I think about it because my god this woman is awful. The real monster of this story.

Netflix's Wednesday - Review

So the latest attempt at rebooting the Addams Family comes in the form of Netflix's Wednesday. Fresh off of The Sandman's success, the show sported a cast of Jenny Ortega, Gwendoline Christie, Catherine Zeta-Jones and even Christina Ricci (Wednesday from the 90s movies), while also being directed mostly by Tim Burton, music by Danny Elfman, and written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, we'll see how Netflix does with this.

Bear in mind, the Addams Family I am perhaps going to compare this to the most is the 90s movies of Ricci, Raul Julia, Anjelica Hutson and Christopher Lloyd - as well as Burton, but I also will be observing Ortega's portrayal of an older Wednesday similar to Youtube's 'Adult Wednesday Addams' shorts by Melissa Hunter (who later went on to do some writing for Santa Clarita Diet and She-Hulk), whose shorts were sadly cease and desisted - which could've been partly due to production of this very show, but I won't hold that against it.

Spoilers for Season 1 of Wednesday

So I'm going to review based on four key points; Production, Plot, Side Characters, and Wednesday herself, hopefully this way I will be able to express the pros and cons of the full scope of the show.

Production Production of the show was very sound actually; music was good, setting and costuming was also very well-done, showing differences from Wednesday's gothic style, Enid's bright and bubbly, Kinbott's clean whites, there are the theme motifs that you'd expect from a Burton-esque story.

In that same vein though, cgi was an oof at times, particularly for the Hyde, which was too uncanny to see past the Burton-esque bug-eyed claymations, Enid's wolf form was a bit iffy too.

But for the most part, Jericho and Nevermore academy did feel like real places that existed outside the vacuum of Wednesday's presence.

Oh also! Some things were just wrong, particularly the off-comment on Ophelia, Ophelia wasn't driven mad by her family she went mad over her lover, Hamlet. Given how Ricci's Wednesday performed Hamlet at school that's a definite gap.

Plot The plot is probably one of the things I am most on the fence about. For its pluses, it did work towards creating character development for Wednesday, layered into a murder mystery story, layered into a spooky high school scenario. It had some lovely easter eggs primarily playing on Addams family leitmotifs specifically the iconic double snap. There is a balance as well of being gothic but also caught up to current affairs, expanding the world more familiar to the Addamses via the presentation of 'outcasts'. The plot does invite a second series as well, but doesn't try to force it either.

However, there are things I struggle to shake off. For one, it doesn't help that this feels far too much like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, another stylistic reboot of a gothic female teen character in a gothic academy uncovering prophecies and having frosty relationships with the Queen Bee's kliq, while also engaging in her own love triangle and fighting a vengeful entity of the past. I do find it odd as well why we necessitated Wednesday to be in a high school setting, since her character had often been presented as emotionally mature and aware, in some cases it does feel like Wednesday was plopped into a monster high school concept to buff up its budget. Much of the murder mystery feels like it has holes in it as well, with characters simply acting oblivious or unhelpful to one another, Wednesday's continued distrust in Xavier for instance rides on the annoying side even when DNA didn't match, and Sheriff Galpin had been suspicious of a monster since episode 1 but chose not to suspect his son who he had worried carried on the genetics of his mother? Tis odd to say the least. Weens and Wednesday had their annoyances too, simply caused by a lack of communication.

The love triangle also felt unnecessary, it was perhaps to try and push the idea that Xavier was the threat to smokescreen Tyler but honestly I'm more disappointed in the Tyler reveal than shocked, because it falls so painfully hard down to cliché, as does much of the high school melodrama. For better or for worse; Bianca, Eugene, Ajax, Xavier and Enid are very cookie-cutter level high school clichés and frankly Xavier is still not a great love interest for Wednesday, let's not forget his actions at the Rave'N. For a story where Wednesday is being sent to an academy of people like her, there is an awfully apparent lack of people like Wednesday anyway, which bodes the need to change high school settings?

I will also note my dislike of the whole concept of 'outcasts vs normies', what made the Addams family good was indeed their counternormative lifestyle but they still existed peacefully among society, in Wednesday it wasn't bad that the main villain was a hypocritical reanimated pilgrim with a magic staff but it did harm the show that every 'normie' character was either dead or complicit to the evil side, thematically it failed in a lot of areas. Also was I the only one who caught on quickly that Thornhill was the enemy? Even before the introduction of Laurel? I mean Laurel is the name for a plant for one and it feels obvious to write Christina Ricci as the new Wednesday's antagonist anyway. The 'outcasts' don't seem too different in physiology either, it may've been a movie thing but the Addams often tended to be indestructible, they drink Cyanide, they can survive a point-blank bomb, they do the electric chair as a child's game, so it is kind of a far cry to 'do you mind ghost ex machina, I have been stabbed to death'. Finally it's probably gonna sound controversial to some but it was not lost on me that that nearly every male character ends up being useless in the climax, only Eugene comes in clutch and it's only to distract, Xavier makes things even more dire, Thing is AWOL, Galpin does shoot his own son but it's an extension of his inaction, and Ajax is just a spectator. I know writers want to try to stress strong female characters but that doesn't mean every male character must be either evil, useless or a cheap shot in it, the goal is supposed to be equality is it not?

Side Characters As a result of the plot issues, the side characters did suffer much. Enid was presented as the polar opposite of Wednesday, which did work in her favour a lot, her half-baked romance with Ajax is perhaps an underdeveloped spot however, underdeveloped also being the key word to use for Bianca and Walker - the mayor's son. Eugene is underbaked too, what could've worked as a good 'innocent cinnabon' character did end up being kept away from much of the series for too long. Tracking back to Enid, of course people immediately ship her with Wednesday, she could've been any kind of character and people would pair her because fandom is how fandom does. If you ship it it's okay but honestly I see it as platonic (reminder that two people of any gender are allowed to be just good friends), I feel like Ajax can be more of a character and it's a bit mean to disregard him too, bright colours doesn't always mean queer coding either but I will give you that 'Lycan conversion camp' did feel like a shoehorn of gay conversion therapy in its dialogue, however I don't think she 'wolfed out' because of Wednesday, they hinted it before she was clued on in Wednesday being in danger.

Principal Weems is perhaps the character who suffered the most from the narrative, it felt like she would be the obstacle for Wednesday out of jealousy towards Morticia, but really she just acts pretty fairly, if not a bit politically. Her then dying in the finale felt like a waste.

The Galpins became a mixed bag in the end, because Sheriff Galpin did feel like a good guy who needed to learn to trust the 'outcasts' more and open up, but in the end he just turned out to be a hypocrite indecisive about whether he's being oblivious towards his son's nature or looking for someone to take the fall for his son's crimes. I've already expressed my disappointment in the Tyler turn, mainly the fact that it ended up just being an act - it did a lot feel like the actor was only told when doing the final episode, because he did feel like a nice kid - I still don't know how he wounded himself but it just felt like a letdown that he was the cliché honeytrap minion who is fully aware of his evils. Thornhill at least had more method in her 'too nice' persona.

Xavier was the grumpy artist who felt more like he expected reward for interacting with Wednesday, and while she did wrongly hound him with accusations he wasn't exactly likable either. Rowan as well was a character who kinda was...well, dumb. The dude sees a picture his mother drew of Wednesday and a guy who clearly looks like a Pilgrim and decides Wednesday is the villain, sure maybe Telekinesis did fuck with his brain but it does mean that the foundation of Wednesday's investigations becomes born out of misinterpretation.

Which leads us to the Addams family themselves and, it's a mixed bag. I know people will say 'people don't think Morticia and Gomez are goals anymore because they're not hot' but honestly, chemistry is important. I've seen Catherine Zeta-Jones in the Zorro films, the chemistry she had with Banderas is far and beyond what she has with Luis Guzmán. I don't think I liked that their relationship with Wednesday had waned either, I understand high school is teenage rebellion phase but again, Wednesday had always been to my experiences very emotionally mature, in Addams Family Values one of the first things she says is 'they had sex' when countering a child's story about a stork bringing babies. Pugsley suffered the most in the short time he was there, suddenly unable to take care of himself and despite being Addams-like, still being conscious enough to be bullied by high school jocks. The Gomez murder plot was weak too, the build up of 'she wouldn't believe it' being just that Morticia killed Gareth Gates (not the singer) in self-defense was also weak I was expecting a lot more. On the plus side, Fester and Thing were great, Fester was only in one episode but was entertaining and frantic, while Thing provided a lightness as both accomplice and wingman to Wednesday, but also having a mostly unseen bond with Enid and experiences with Tyler and Xavier.

Wednesday herself Jenny Ortega, writing aside, was fantastic as Wednesday. Having nailed the cold wide glare, the dry tone and the silver tongued clapbacks, Ortega turned Wednesday into a capable, inquisitive loner but also one with flaws of being uncompassionate, untrusting and having been absorbed by tunnel vision. While Wednesday has these flaws that distances her from others, it also works to develop her on wearing down on these flaws. I do have some annoyance with the mother issues she has, the unpredictable nature of her visions are rather convenient also, but some of the best scenes are also moments where Wednesday is in full expression of her true self, particularly the cello scenes and the dance scene at the Rave'N. Ortega certainly filled the shoes of an iconic role that often kept the show afloat.

Conclusion Overall, Wednesday was a good start as a spinoff, setting the foundations of what the show would be like. I would certainly watch more of Wednesday herself but I would dedicate more time to fleshing out the side characters properly, while also remembering the counter-normalcy roots of the Addams Family's appeal. Remember that Wednesday is not simply a gothier Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and overescalation does not make things more successful, Adult Wednesday Addams thrived on putting Wednesday's character in normal and everyday scenarios such as one night stands, confronting catcalling or having a job interview, people will watch for Wednesday but that doesn't mean effort beyond cliché and the odd wink nudge to the camera should not be put in.

The show is a decent watch, but considering Ortega's performance and the shoes they're filling, there was certainly more we could've gotten out of it.
