#w*dnesday show

[missbiddle]

Gonna say it. Coz ppl are still saying it.

I'm fucking sick of sapphics saying Warrior Nun/Avatrice is crumbs. Like what the fuck what the fuck. What do you fucking WANT

Or saying the only reason to watch the show is for the Avatrice crumbs like fuck off

[fatherramiro]

this is not an uncommon opinion but the netflix most twitter account (aka the queer culture one) is horrifying and i despise it

[kuiinncedes]

:P

[killerboyratzmp3]

why r the bullies and/or people maintaining the status quo in these netflix shows black like 50% of the time...... it's getting ridiculous lol

simply INCANDESCENT with rage over the way w*dnesday is so soullessly profitable.

FIRST: the way Wednesday herself has been scrubbed of all personality to be an edgy audience insert. Far be it from me to shame people for their enjoyment of a Mary Sue but do it to your original character at least. Don’t make an audience insert and hold it up as the same character as you had before.

SECOND: the way both girls in the show (and correct me if I am wrong, but there are ONLY two girls plus a hated mother character) are both Manic Pixie Dream girls but to different aesthetic extremes. With all the lack of agency that entails. I doubt Wednesday is the one moving the plot if she’s being (narratively) treated like that. And she’s the goddamn main character.

THIRD: the uncomfortable pauses after Wednesday says something just barely abnormal that you can just TELL are there for audience laughter. The absence of the laugh track was a choice but it wasn’t a choice that gives me less to criticize. At least if you were blatantly hateful you wouldn’t fool people like this.

FOURTH: the uncomfortable and clearly performative wokeness. ‘Don’t make the character talk like they’re getting a good grade in therapy’ absolutely applies here. The way you are dropping these buzzwords and then making them mean NOTHING is sooo bad.

FIFTH: you really went for the ‘hated mother figure’ trope? IN THIS MEDIA??? Where the original joke was that the Addams were the healthy family compared to the normies?? That’s cheap. That’s low. That’s distressingly Freudian.

SIXTH: I’ve heard Gomez is arrested on no evidence. There’s a way you can write it so that the cops taking the Latino man to jail on no evidence is anti cop but I’m going to take a guess based on what I know of Tim burton and say that’s not what happened.

SEVENTH: congratulations Tim burton for sucking it up and putting one (1) black character in there. Next actually write him a non-racist plot line.

EIGHTH: the way this show has been out for what a month? and is already six tiktok trends really says something about marketability in the age of social media. shows have learned how to bank on their fandoms and now how to manufacture a fandom. This is a show for the influencers and nostalgia to sell and Netflix to reap the benefit of.

NINTH: I doubt there has ever been a clearer case of commodification of a subculture. The way goth is used as a set dressing in this show is almost as sad as the way character names are used as a set dressing.

I had to check if I was mutuals with someone before posting this anyways fuck w*nclair

[avaloniaofficial]

it never occurred to me up until this year that you can just like Lie To People about watching shit and they wont care. like idc about any of those shitty netflix originals or whatever but yeah ive seen it. its ok. anyway next topic

[bunnys-beetlejuice-blog]

my two cents that no one asked for and dont tag this i dont need discorse in my life: its pretty fucking rich that b*rton can come out and say that black people dont fit his aesthetic and that he doesnt believe in """forced diversity""" ie, having people of color in his works, and then a that w*dnesday show drops and ya'll are all over it. goth is all inclusive, it's a subculture about appreciating music and fashion, and you dont have to be lily white skinned to be goth. and tbh im a bit frustrated seeing so many people talk about this show and making content when b*rton has made it clear there is not room in his "creative vision" for people that don't look exactly like him.

w*dnesday frustrates me bc when i see which songs are on the soundtrack i'm like "ooo! hell yeah!" but then i remember which show it is

[numbaoneflaya]

tumblr rly pushin it rn giving me ads and recced posts for that w*dnesday show as if i wont taint the bloodline with decay when i bite them to death

[matrilinear]

n*tflix's w*dnesday is fueling my soreana muse but replies/introductions will have to wait until i'm finished with this uni assignment (fun fact: the show was mostly filmed in my home country 😉)

[weareallkenough]

Literally every time I think the new W*dnesday show can't get worse I hear something new and terrible about it

[table-top-horror]

Deciding not to watch the last 2 episodes of W*dnesday cuz I was fed up with the show but forgetting Fred Armisen is fester 😔😔😔

[weepingwitch]

did you know ! it's possible to be the first people to show up for a 7am ash w*dnesday service and have to wait outside the doors until they open

[magpiesbones]

i want to see an essay length takedown of every goddamn part of w*s essay but I would have to do that myself and I am not going to watch That Goddamn Show because I am not falling for the trap of hate watching and also that would be fucking. agonizing. I couldn’t take twenty minutes of it why do I think I can take over two hours.

Today in the America.n Gods tag I discovered that some of the ships for this show are not what I expected! Some intrigue me, some I could probably live without, and others just have me really really sincerely concerned that people legitimately do not realize what they’re shipping and ... might wanna read the novel before they become too invested in the idea.
