That's what I try to do. If you focused more on the story and characterizations over the constant complaints and need to force views on others no one would care. I don't care who's black, white, gay...as long as the characters look how they are supposed to look and do what they are supposed to do. I have more complaints about how the Addams's are characterized than I do which actor is what color. But if they complain about racism, it's hides the fact the show is a pretty weak show and keeps people talking about it in spite of its many flaws cause...racism! when they can't let a show speak for itself, that's when you see these claims come out.
Definitely agree with everything you said. I just binged it Saturday night and though I liked it, I kind of was hoping for something a little more. The whole Harry Potter thing was a little much for me. It was Harry Potter meets Scooby Doo meets Monster High. Not necessarily bad just...I dunno...not really my cup of tea. I do prefer when it's a fish out of water scenario with her in the normal school.
I definitely have to do a little more research on the comics maybe but I found a lot of the Addams's actions really out of character. For example, the parents punishing her by taking her to boarding school over the piranha incident when I feel like they would be praising her for her creativity and things. Gomez acting all remorseful and stuff over that death when their whole identity is death and all that. I dunno. Again, maybe I missed stuff or something but...The characterizations in this sense just felt off for me.
I'm also not a big mystery fan. I'm boring that way I guess. Not a fan of 100 red herrings and trying to figure out who's guilty of what. I hate fake mis directions and stuff. The characters I liked turn out to be bad and the characters that creeped me out turned out to be good. Maybe that's a message judging a book by its cover but it was a little much for me.
Loved Morticia, loved Fester, Thing DID steal the show. Wednesday was good and all the other characters were cool. I'm interested to see what a season 2 does.
I wasn't happy with all the forced woke stuff; it was so unnecessary. I had no issues with the casting; everyone was great. I think my annoyances came when they felt the need to add stuff into the conversation. Wednesday says a line like 'are you MANSPLAINING' something to me? it was obnoxious. Or how all the good guys were the women and all the bad guys ended up being the men. The one guy I actually routed for and liked turned out to be the villain while the one with the creepy rapey eyes was the 'better choice'. shrouded in mystery until the end...it was really weird. And how it was supposed to be all the girls that asked the boys to the dance...unless it was a Sadie Hawkins or something it just came off weird. I'm not saying women can't ask guys out but mix it up so it doesn't come off so obvious you're trying to make a point about genderism. The boys came off very feminized in order to boost up the strong female characters.
I'm not saying it completely ruined the show for me, it was just something I was noticing as the series went on. This probably could have been a 6 episode series instead of 8.
I think around a 6 or 7. I was pleasantly surprised by it. I was so happy they chose some little references without doing full on recreations of scenes. They had some of their own funny moments that will stick with me and I liked the overall plot of trying to fill the old man's shoes.
That's what I took it as
Was very sad to hear this today. I loved Clarence on Walker and am actually re-watching the show the last few weeks. This was my show as a teenager. This was hit close :(
I haven't watched it in context last night. A part of me thinks it was very staged by Kanye so I don't know how impactful it really was. I WANT to like Tim and watch IRL for background noise but it's always so over the place and some of the views are just so obnoxious. but hey, I am sure this controversy has taken the fuel out of the Tim/Adam high school drama that happened over the weekend...convenient.
Yep. the dog was super adorable. I loved this whole idea that they all thought he was a menace, but the people loved him on social media and he becomes this breakout start and a means for the royal family to connect to their people. I wish they had fleshed this out more than having the generic 'villain exposes innocent commoner' trope. But it's a Hallmark movie so it's not going to be that thought out sometimes.
One of my favorite moments was the Corgi race; that was super cute.
I can agree. I enjoyed Falcon and Winter Soldier...would have preferred a stronger villain but whatever. I can't believe we're still in Phase 4...I think they just need to end the whole Phase thing anyway to be honest. But I was pleasantly surprised at this special. It was cute and funny. I even had to download that opening 'Christmas' song, it was too epic not too.
I enjoyed it very much but there was a part of me, based off the advertising, that thought it was going to be a little more spoofy of the Star Wars Holiday special. I don't quite know what I was expecting but I enjoyed it regardless.
