I know this is an old comment, but seriously. Someone write this. That's a fantastic plot idea!

haven’t even seen this movie, but I can already tell that the main concept would’ve worked if it was actually done in a lighthearted manner. like maybe the adams family is nominated by their community for some home renovation show to fix up their house. this would sell the idea that there is a generally positive, if misunderstood relationship between the adams family and their community. the community might accept their eccentricities on a surface level, and there’s enough good will there for everyone to agree to try and get a renovation team to come work on the house, but they still look at the house and see a dilapidated mess where the adams family simply sees their home, perfect as it is already. enter the renovation team, which could’ve been a few different characters instead of just one woman. like, maybe they’re an interior designer, a construction dude, and a camera guy, and they’re basically just there to poke fun at the culture that dippy HBO home show hosts play into. if these characters weren’t set up to be seen as evil, but were merely expecting something more normal when they took the job, the movie could honestly take its whole run time just sorting out misconceptions. the renovation team could cycle through misplaced pity for the family having lived like this, then a gung-ho drive to fix things which is largely brushed off, confusion when they are stopped at every turn by the family, more confusion over half the shit they find in the house, intrigue when the family gets the chance to explain what they actually enjoy about living like this, and maybe it stops there. the renovators decide that they clearly aren’t needed here, and while they aren’t sure why this is what the family enjoys, they’re basically okay with letting them be. the pink joke could be reduced to a line, like the interior designer coming into a room, sizing it up, and saying “I’m thinking pink for this space” which gets her weird looks from the family. and this could also tie into the “their house is a museum” line, because a crew of normies with cameras are literally coming in and haphazardly learning about the adams family by poking around in their house. and Wednesday’s plot line could’ve been less about her breaking away from her family’s aesthetic expectations, and more about her learning to get along with her peers. like, maybe most girls in Wednesday’s class are judgemental on sight, so Wednesday mostly ignores them, but then she meets a bright happy girl who is actually just nice to her and wants to be her friend. the two hang out, and Wednesday might end up with some brightly colored accessories, which she likes and wears because they were gifts from a genuine friend. she might wear them with a fond chuckle and a head shake, but she doesn’t begrudge the mismatched aesthetic because she has nothing to prove. this could free up the friend to be the one with the parent who is more skeptical when their daughter starts wearing some more gothic accessories gifted to her by Wednesday. but in the interest of keeping it light, this parent might just be legitimately trying to keep up with the perceived, ever shifting definition of what is cool to their teenage daughter... in the lamest way possible. and there’s a lot of flexibility in deciding how far either girl would dip into each other’s aesthetic choices, or who would respond in what ways, but the message would still be that openness and acceptance can look like anyone... but if that’s the common ground that you have with a person, you’ll probably get along just fine, whether you look like a mismatched pair or not. and for Pugsly, I think it would’ve been fine to nix the whole tension between him and Gomez entirely. the whole idea with the adams family is that they understand each other well as unique individuals, function nicely as a family unit because of this, and all the humor comes from setting them up to interact with basic normie culture so as to lampoon the hell out of it. if these two must have a sub plot, make it the two of them trying to collaborate on organizing an adams family reunion in the background of everything. the running gag could be that every time we cut back to them, something appears to be going sideways, but they’re both like “yes, this is perfect” because of that classic adams family “bad is actually good” theme. when it comes to the adams family, truly, they flourish as a sitcom. make situations, have comedy. it can be that simple. and it actually should be... this is a situation where less is more.

That's what always brought people to this franchise because no matter how different they are, they still are friendly neighbors, good parents and have a deep love for family.

Again, Aardman would have been perfect to handle something like this. The comic style fits their zaniness to a tee and NO ONE would have seen it coming, but instead this is...a thing. And worse, they released this around Halloween, making it so that the franchise is forever a Halloween-confined thing when the original movies were released a month afterwards. Also, the *sheer irony* of The Addams Family's first animated movie being the most cookie-cutter, bland thing in the world, completely gentrified by 2019's desperate need to have *weight* to every story in an attempt to copy Pixar's waning attempts at emotional connection is hilarious because the Addams Family can clearly do heart and whatnot, they're just *not designed to.* They're immortal gag machines, goth inspirations, and possible parenting tips. That is it.

The Addams Family has always had a supernatural aspect, explaining why they can survive most things that would kill a regular human. As for them being evil or good is still up to debate. I heard that the original comic and 90's movie Addams were evil but on the more psychopathic side. The 60's, 70's, 1992, and 2019 Addams aren't exactly what you would call evil, just extremely weird but will unintentionally cause harm to another without feeling remorse. I hope this helped explain a few things.

Giving Wednesday a 5head is the worst part of this movie.

I like the portrait of the Addams family in the 60s show. They were sick and weird in their own way but they never seek to harm anyone. People were terrified of them because they were so different. They loved each other as a family and welcomed anyone that came to the house, even if they thought THEY were the weird ones. Idk why the new versions keep making them dangerous.

Literally the only time I lost my shit was when Wednesday said "I looooOOOOOOOOOoooove you" to Pugsly 😂 I felt so bad that I laughed so hard in the theatre but god, that was so on brand with the Addams. And that joke could be made in any other Addams family franchise so yeah, it's not it's saving grace. But it was a pretty decent movie, I actually enjoyed the movie a lot. It was a lot of fun to watch visually speaking, even with the ugly ass side characters, it was hell of a lot of fun to see Wednesday shit on the popular girl. The storyline is so cliche I wish it wasn't, but I can sit through it just because I loved watching it visually.

There’s a whole episode where Pugsley liked sports and Boy Scout things. They fed into everything he loved and bought everything he could want for it until he got over it (yeah they had a therapist but they never told him he can’t be different). They still loved and accepted him and then here was morticia freaking out over a clip in Wednesday’s hair. It was really interesting to see your take on it though!

she was referring to past incidents like the she ra reboot. she was just making a general comparison about cartoon reboots in general.

Both plots with the kids could have worked if Gomez & Morticia were ‘concern but supportive’. Like in the 90’s movie scene when she’s reading the book to the baby, she doesn’t agree with it; you can see her concern but she sees how much the baby enjoys it & continues. This was how all renditions of the Adams were, there was even an episode of the ‘newer’ live action show where Pugsly wanted to be a Boy Scout. Gomez was beyond concern but in the end they let the boys have their meeting at their house to try and be supportive. How much funnier would it have been if the parents ‘tried’ to be involved? Morticia showing up to the pta with real finger-sandwiches, someone asking how it always seems to thunder & lightning when she shows up, if pugsly was trying to build something new & Gomez kept messing it up like only a dad can 😆 one of those ‘we love you for trying’ stories. And if you want a feel-good-lesson, than it could have been “the parents that look scary & support their kids aren’t the real monsters, the parents who force their kids to be unhappy & change are”

This is kinda like the Broadway Show. Wednesday ends up falling in love and trys to change the family. All together both would have been good if they never happened.

While I can agree with a lot of your points, Cellspex, I actually had fun watching the movie and couldn't get the theme song out of my head for a week. Heck, Wednesday was probably my favorite of the cast.

The heart of the movie is what is missing. It feels cheap and flashy with little to no heart or substance which is precisely why the live action movies are and will always be classics. The Addams family feel like a realistic family who genuinely love each other and will do whatever it takes to support and encourage each other. 💜

The Addams Family's point has never been that they were the newcomers to any sort of community. They're not. They're old blood (ha!) - the closest thing America has to nobles. The newcomer plot was done by their "siblings", the Munsters. (I wish I remember where I first read that analogy about those two series. Once you realize this point, you can never un-realize it.)

This is what happens when you make an outraged reddit post about "Karens" into a movie

The 90’s Addams Family may not have been perfect, but it certainly had absolutely spot on casting. Their chemistry was amazing.

I feel that the movie was trying to take a more serious tone. That this was a world where people like the Addams Family were still hunted down by “the normal people” with torches and pitchforks. Instead of the usual “weird family exists and people just tolerate them” basic concept that we have become accustomed to in the 60s sitcom, the 80s and 90s cartoons and the 90s live action films. The Addams 2019 takes place in a world where people actively seem to hunt down everything they see as flawed in their societies and to exterminate them. This could be representative to the fact that “social media” was used to ruffle the feathers of the people which lead to the “end of movie attack”. This is a world that mirrors our own apart from the fact that “normal” and “weird” are entirely separate and it is clear that neither was perfect without the other. The “normals” hid all their flaws and the “weirdos” hid themselves into the deepest shadow. The film sets the scene that there is a “norm” and “out-of-the-ordinary” side to society. And how everyone is better off if we all worked together. It strongly shows how our society could’ve been like if we were more focused and obsessed on being “ordinary”. Where being a “furry” or “brony” or anything else along those lines meant that you was actively hunted down. Ours is a world where “weird and normal” exist side by side. And how both are better off together rather than apart. As shown by the end of the film. The “best” society is a “united” society of the strange and the ordinary. And this is what I believe that the film tried to represent. This is “The Addams Family” if they were hunted down by the public world if they revealed themselves when all the other versions are when the Addams Family exists side by side along with the normal world.
