Hi Friends! Today we talked about Addams Family Values! Technically this was our Thanksgiving episode (since, you know, Pugsley dresses like a turkey at one point), but close enough! Tell us what you thought. Because Gomez grew up in Mexico.About 66. It’s subtly laid in that she is also American she’s the daughter of immigrants. “The choices of music she plays and food. “It’s not hammered over the head, but there are moments,” says Milar. When the Addams come to visit for Parents’ Weekend, Wednesday’s younger brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) sucks on a tamarind candy. In the first episode of Wednesday, a mournful rendition of La Llorona plays on the gramophone in Wednesday’s dorm room as she clacks away on her typewriter. And obviously Jenna was Latina, but also she was the best actress, by far, for the role.” We wanted to make sure we didn’t leave any stone unturned. Milar says that while they considered many actors for the lead role, they always hoped to cast a Latina actor. “Any time that I have an opportunity to represent my community, I want that to be seen.” “Wednesday is technically a Latina character, and that’s never been represented,” Ortega said in a behind-the-scenes video.
It’s a little subversive, but also pointing out that it’s also kind of bullsh-t.”
“The Charles Addams cartoons were a reaction to the ‘50s America: the white picket fence and the house. “In some form, the Addams were always disruptors in a normal world,” says Gough. The concept of celebrating those rejected by society sprang directly from Charles Addams’ cartoons. When Wednesday was in development, the idea of “outcasts” versus “normies” came even before that of critiquing colonialism. In the Netflix show, Wednesday’s newfound psychic visions introduce us to one of Gomez’s ancestors from Mexico, Goody Addams, who started a secret society to “protect outcasts from harm and bigotry.” Milar and Gough decided to finally make this explicit after years of being implied. To their neighbors, they’re creepy and they’re kooky, they sound funny, they dress oddly, they eat strange foods: they’re a perfect allegory for immigrant families. No matter the time period in which they’re portrayed, members of the Addams family have always been viewed as outsiders.
