the Wednesday series is so silly goofy for even IMPLYING that gomez and morticia wouldn't know how to cover up a murder properly, let alone that Wednesday would be unironically scandalised by learning her parents had killed someone. like...do the clowns writing this show actually understand the premise/ethos of The Addams Family? why does this show constantly have them allying with/grovelling at the feet of institutions?? why bother making a show about Wednesday and by extension the Addams family if you're not going to honour their competent oddness and satirical anti-establishment roots? and that's before we even get into the weird ass colourblind racism all throughout this show. I cannot believe there's a scene in this show where morticia addams, a white woman, tells a Black man he has "no idea what it's like not to be believed." I can't believe that the ringleader of the bullies who is bigotedly abusing the "outcasts" is a young Black boy. The antiblackness is insane. like, really? it's so obvious there are next to no poc in significant creative roles on this show which is so fucked considering they not only made Wednesday Latine, but made her ancestory an integral part of the series. I feel like a broken record at this point, but surface level diversity in casting means absolutely nothing so long as the people holding creative control are white. It's just elaborate puppetry, and too many of you fall for it everytime. All this show does is use actors or colour to pay lip-service to the "whitewashing" of history, while the show itself is written and directed almost exclusively by white people. As far as I can tell there is one director of colour, Gandja Monteiro, who directs 2 mid season eps. Every single other person in creative decision making roles is white. It's an absolute JOKE.
#additional cursed thought: would armand on have tiktok??? discuss
Armand definitely has a Tiktok. He films all of his videos with his real eye color and everyone assumes he’s super dedicated to the contact lens aesthetic. He makes one (1) video wearing the Rashid contacts and gets a million comments saying “your eyes are so beautiful, please stop wearing those creepy contacts” and he quits the app for two months.
He also forces Daniel to be in videos with him and Daniel hates it. There’s a raging debate in the comments section every time about if he is Armand’s dad or his boyfriend. There’s a small but loyal faction that are entirely dedicated to thirsting over Daniel and they comment stuff like “well either way I wanna call him daddy.” Armand has 27 different sock puppet accounts that he cyberbullies these people on.
this is so fucking galaxy brained, I’m in awe of your mind. absolutely no notes except that I think I wheezelaughed so hard at it that I woke up all dogs in a twenty kilometer radius of my home.
i'm exhausted because of the constant pain -> i can't sleep because of the constant pain -> i'm tired so more vulnerable to pain -> i'm exhausted because of the constant pain ->
for selfish reasons i hope that it is Daniel still interviewing when it gets to the tvl lestat stuff because that would be my personal Super Bowl. I want him to be bitchy i want him to like not believe anything. He will be like oh ok let me guess, you starting crying uncontrollably. Again
