Tim Burton's original stuff: pretty great.
Tim Burton's take on someone else's stuff: meh. The exceptions being the Michael Keaton Batman movies.
A white person in a sombrero is racist, but a black pilgrim is….
The only decent casting is zeta Jones as morticia and even then she’s about a decade too old to play a tweens mother. Guzman as fat Gomez is well, disappointing to say the least when we had Raul Julia as the suave Gomez of the 90s. Armisen just screams pedo in everything he does but the white face isn’t racist…
Yea. I just assume the worst now
What is this reddit?
It's almost as if you have to know whether someone's a shill playing both sides, or if he honestly believes what he writes.
So what "shilling" do these two quotes expose?
Hee haw, when using their arguments I use their definitions. I do enjoy the obsession though, since you seem endeared to the term white, how many Iranian pilgrims were there?
In this exact same thread I called Gomez Euro-spainard not “white”, almost like I don’t use the word unless it’s in direct reference to another’s use of it. Then again your retarded sperging is about what I expected.
Start at 1:50 -
Comedy Sketch that more than accurately predicted woke media in the 90s

I think Luiz Guzman was a pretty good choice. He looks accurate to the original comic.
But that's about as far as I can take my comment with this. I haven't had netflix since the pedo thing.
Maybe in round shape, but aesthetically Guzman is as far from a pale euro-spainard as it gets. The overly curly hair alone is as far from the straw hair of the comics and pencil mustache that was iconic

Intentional emasculation. We went from suave yet goofy Raul Julia to fat butt of jokes Guzman
I don't think Guzman's a bad match for Gomez in Charles Addams' original cartoons.

Guzman looks horrendous
In what insanity are you on? Julia and Astin are nearly identical aesthetically

It's continuing the long tradition of comedies with a fat goofball who inexplicably has a hot wife, going back to at least The Honeymooners:
A Jim Belushi tv series too. He had a nice wife in that.
For me to do that, I'd have had to watch the trailer.
They live through a lot of things nobody should.
Second film has a scene the entire family is about to get a makeshift electric chair but they manage to avoid it at the last moment for reasons however it probably wouldn't have done anything to them in the first place. The whole thing is a murder attempt by Fester's new wife so she can then claim his life insurance because the Addams family is extremely rich, which was a plot point in the first film, too. The wife, literally known as a black widow serial killer, already tried to kill Fester several times earlier in the film including blowing up the entire house Fester was sitting in with a bomb she gives him wrapped up as a present. Fester being Fester even manages to figure out the present is a bomb after shaking it, listening to it, and trying to guess what has been wrapped up. And the fact it is a bomb doesn't actually concern him because he still walks out the smouldering ruin after it explodes with little more than dirt and destroyed clothes to show for what just happened.
The rest of the family are similarly impervious to damage and invariably voice their jealousy of the others when they get to be the ones strung up on a torture rack while also using the moment to reminisce about honeymoons or other romantic endeavours.
I was originally going to look up a scene of the house being destroyed and stumbled across the whole film it would seem. Anyone who hasn't seen this it's worth a watch, about 85-90 minutes long in total.

As for the attempts:

The electric chairs - This whole scene is worth watching because hilariously the entire family are on her side as she's monologuing

Such a good film that didn't hold back on how absurd everything was.
Well I know what I'm watching tomorrow. Wonder what else that channel may have uploaded 👀
Kinda iffy, they are alive enough to have kids and family but also somewhere on the ghoul scale
As, a fan of the original show, I enjoyed it. I saw it as a tribute to the show. There's lot of corny humor and there wasn't any wokeness that I could discern. It's about Herman and Lily meeting, but it doesn't follow the particulars of the original canon about their past. It was really a reboot. It wasn't the most amazing thing ever, but I liked it. It was obvious that Rob Zombie liked the original source material. I recommend it if you like the show.
