Netflix has another show to add to their list of massive list of worldwide successes with Wednesday, the Addams Family spinoff from Tim Burton.

Wednesday definitely raises some questions though. Like why is Wednesday the only non-normal person at a school full of monsters? Why does she simultaneously love horrible stuff while actively trying to stop horrible stuff from happening? Why does the guy who hates magic use so much magic? Why is Goody Addams named Addams?!

To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Wednesday.

    "Young kid like trend. Young Kid watch show. Producer guy get money." Sums up Netflix' overall content strategy beautifully.

    Show would have made more sense if Wednesdays cheery roommate was the detective and Wednesday was just along for the ride and her doing bad sht inadvertently solved the crime.
  • I remember watching Wednesday getting healed by the ghosts and thinking: "Yep, this is going to be the "barely an inconvenience" bit of the pitch meeting"

    Gomez’s powers always seemed to be superhuman luck. Makes tons of money without even trying, gets in and out of life threatening situations without a scratch, landed Morticia, and his daughter is the biggest success on Netflix since Squid Game.
  • @upland77
    Jenna Ortega recently pointed out these inconsistencies with her character in a podcast, and a producer got really mad at her for "trashing" the show's writers 😂
  • "Monsters aren't supposed to kill people" "...well..." I died
  • @carlrood4457
    The main joke of The Addams Family is that they never realized how unusual they were, so they wouldn't consider themselves outcasts.

    "Young kid use tiktok, young kid like trends, young kid watch show." Confirmed- Ryan has hidden microphones inside these studio exec conference rooms. There's no other explanation.
  • @Runsofourlives
    It's wild to think that this whole thing happened because two screenwriters collided in a hotel hallway and accidentally mixed up their pitches. Because of that moment Velma wound up as a sassy misanthrope making fun of everyone at her school and Wednesday went around solving supernatural mysteries. smh
  • @mysticmarbles
    "She must be a pretty good detective." "Yeah she had a vision about it and then the killers admitted to it." "Well that seems like cheating." LMAO got 'em. Best part.
  • @mrclaydawg92
    Wednesday's love interests personalities are that they're romantically interested in Wednesday when she gives them absolutely no reason to be
  • @TestAcct46
    Jenna Ortega has said in interviews that she was aware that Wednesday's character was inconsistently written and even tried to change some of the dialogue herself, though she was overruled by the showrunners.
  • @thedonphylix
    Writer Guy and Producer Guy being so happy and chanting "Money" takes the absolute cake for me.
  • @UTeewb
    I love how during the boat race one team literally tried to decapitate another team and no one batted an eye. And then in a later episode half the school is horrified at the idea of interrogating an accused murderer.
  • @KingOfMadCows
    "If her powers are secret, how do they know to let her in?" Her parents went to the school so she has the secondary power of nepotism.
  • Watching a pitch meeting instead of the product being pitched is TIGHT! 😁
  • @Vastad
    Producer Guy: "People are tight!" Writer Guy: "Some are, yeah sure." This broke me 😂
