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.

Wednesday, Velma, Sabrina, SheHulk, Kung Fu, etc.... All horrible pandering messes poorly co-opting prior art for the sole purpose of producing profit
I was excited for and watched them all hopefully only to be quickly disappointed.
And this norm in productions has lead to far more damage than people realize, it's not a minor issue.
When a group has been under represented and then all significant representation does so in a manner than Justifiably generates disdain/contempt/conflict or reinforces negative stereotypes (intentionally or not) while claiming to be doing the opposite, it will result in nothing but systemic harm and hardship for that group.
Not all representation is Good representation and when there are extant issues with group representation it behooves members and collectives of that group to ensure what representation they do obtain is utilized to it's fullest - anything else undermines demands on outsiders to take any efforts to provide otherwise.

You managed to point out a lot more issues with this show, than anyone else, and in a super funny way.
she's a human with no magical powers, and no, she's not a psychopath, she tried to stop a monster, was interested in boys, and did show some feelings.... she just dresses goth, which is not the same as vampires or werewolves.
All the gorgeous Jenna Ortega in the world couldn't save this show from completely missing the point of the original.
