Wednesday Addams, Unveiling The Insightful Origins Of This Curious, Eye-Opening Franchise
In a world of eccentric tales and extravagant gothic characters, not many characters are as known or as iconic as Wednesday Addams. People always know of her but not how this spooky and witty girl came to be, and how the young girl became a huge part one of the most popular franchises today. What inspired the creation of this show? Who managed to capture this interesting individual? Let’s journey through the minds of the creators of Wednesday and how they created such a wonderful franchise.
The Ghoulish Beginnings of Wednesday Addams
After Wednesday had become a breakout hit with it’s combination of gothic quirks, morbid humour, and spooky mystery we wanted to take a deep dive into how this series came out of the woodworks and blossomed into the show we know and love today.
When the show was first announced, the excitement behind it was clear from everyone who had loved this character as a child. The series, directed by Tim Burton, took a modern take on the popular character Wednesday Addams and placed her in a new, unfamiliar environment of the school Nevermore. We can say we were more than excited to see how Tim Burton was going to use his skills of directing the whimsical movies he has in the past and transitioning them to the TV screen.
Why this Show Works Well in the Modern Era
Wednesday has become a significant icon of rebellious and nonconformist youth through her rule breaking and sleuthing way throughout the show. This young girl has shown many viewers to not change for others and to stick to what makes people thereselves. By being a smart, sarcastic and unique individual (with some great dance moves) she has shown teenagers and young adults that being who you want to be is not something you should have to be apologetic about.
Another reason why the show is currently one of the best shows out there and works so well in the current times is the fact it leans into so many popular genres that people are currently looking for. Mystery and comedy are a hard combination to come by and to also execute well. Wedensday absolutely hit the nail on the head for this through a great balance of the two, with a mix of the supernatural intertwined of course.
Jenna Ortega’s great execution of this character has definitely made this show an unmissable option, she manages to use her acting chops to help hold up these genres and carry them over the line. Her confident use of straight-faced sarcasm throughout the show makes her unforgettable in this position.
In Conclusion
The Wednesday franchise is currently thriving, especially with the new season of Wednesday releasing on Netflix early next year. Now, we see manufacturing of all kinds of products that resemble our weird and loveable family members.
As Wednesday became a household name, the franchise expanded even further. Largely in the nightwear industry, there were socks, pyjamas, and slippers that were released and became such popular products that many families had some form of Wednesday Addams product in there home. To this day, Misirli uses the Wednesday license to its full potential with its own range of socks and nightwear in general.
