Jenna Ortega ❤
Christina Ricci made the character iconic but Jenna Ortega did a good job with her version as well
It seems like a worst version to me but she did do a good job no doubt
Jenna Ortega is the best version I think.
I think Jenna Ortega has the iconic looks even Christina Ricci👗🖤
Jenna was aight …. No one can touch Christina Ricci
Jenna ortega just looks bored and wtf is that bangs. Christina ricci looks eery and mysterious.
Christina Ricci was brilliant in the role of Wednesday love her ❤❤❤❤😊
Christina Ricci is an ICON!!!
Seems like Wednesday Addams is one of the greatest characters to have ever come to life onscreen.
agree
Yeah, no...
@@MediaBuster yeah yes
@@sumaiyaewing Yeah hell no
@@MediaBuster yeah hell yes
Christina Ricci is the best!
Christina Ricci will always be my favorite Wednesday, but i love Jenna Ortega's work in the new series.
I pick Lisa Loring over Ricci any day.

Agreed
@@sixfoursoul2538 you pick wrong
Christina Ricci was the Best!!
Christina Ricci will ALWAYS be Wednesday Addams...but Jenna Ortega just gave this new generation their version of Wednesday!
Christina ricci was born for this role
You're so right 💀👍🏻
I like Christina Ricci character better not to say that Ortega did bad but l feel Christina Ricci gravitated the character more
Christina Ricci made the wednesday character so iconic! Her portrayal is much more sarcastic and dark and funny ❤
I grew up with Christina’s Wednesday but it’s cool to see other variations of her. Jenna was incredible as Wednesday 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Luis Guzman portrayed the best kind of father…and Wednesday affirms that beautifully.
I enjoyed the tv show Wednesday jenna Ortega did a good job making the character her own
*Christina Ricci is the best and my forever Wednesday Addams 🖤* she did Wednesday so naturally(back to when there were no acting coaches like now) and i think that’s brilliant
Aubrey Plaza would be PERFECT for an older Wednesday adaptation
I was thinking the same thing
I agree
heavens I can see this lol
Haha good idea. She would nail the awkwardness for sure. 🙂
Fun fact: Christina Ricci played Marilyn Thornhill (aka Laurel Gates) in Wednesday
Cannot get better than Christina Ricci
It was refreshing to see that they built the show squarely around Wednesday, I always liked her best of the entire Addams family clan, she has always reminded me of how I was in high school, so I can really relate to the biting wit and gloomy attitude. I hope that they continue the show.
I think they will. I mean, so many people have watched the series. And in the end she writes on the paper "The end?". Think that kinda opens for a second season. 🙂
I actually learned a lot from this video! Very cool. 🤘🏼
Happy that Melissa Hunter gets recognized here. Adult Wednesday was Genius. The Copyright owners really should have worked with her.
I think the fact that they canceled her rather than working with her proves that they were only after cash she couldn't pay them enough for the rights Netflix could,, and it really is sad because Melissa Hunter looked more like the character. Jenna Ortega will grow up to be a beautiful woman but her face shape is all wrong for Wednesday and no amount of makeup can alter your jaw
CHRISTINA IS THE GREATEST!!!
Yes
Truly
Ricci was next level 🔥
Yes Jenna did good as well
Christina Ricci and Jenna Ortega are my fav Wednesday
I love the Christina Ricci's version 💖

Jenna Ortega is fine in the current version, but Christina Ricci will forever be the best !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Christina Ricci ❤ She's just too much ❤
It's always Christina Ricci the best. ✨😍
Christina Ricci was my favorite
My favorite is the 60's addams family tv show,the 90's movies and of course the newest one
THANK YOU for mentioning the Broadway Wednesday!! So many just leave her out of these lists!
Ricci and Ortega are both Amazing! I can't wait to get a season 2 from Ortega.
I grew up in the 90s with Cristina Ricci as Wednesday. I could never see anyone one else as Wednesday until Jenna Ortega came along. She really knocked it out of the park. Cherry on top was Ricci playing Marilyn Thornhill.
My favorite is the live action version of Wednesday. As in the Netflix original series. I just can’t wait for season two!
Because I'm a 90s baby, I never knew of any Wednesdays before Christina Ricci. Her and Jenna Ortega are my favorite Wednesdays
I agree those are mine too.
Same, but that dance the original Wednesday did is iconic and adorable
Totally agree!
Maybe you should watch all these versions to know for sure. :P
I’m 1994 and never knew much about Christina Ricci. I suspect a 1999 baby will relate more with Jenna
Tbh I think Jenna played Wednesday best she looked so good!
Yeah she played it the best 8:40

U guys have to watch The addams family values i think Christina Ricci was amazing there and her sarcasm as Wednesday was brilliant

Can I just say....I know it's a modern world and the other characters of Wednesday are older. But honestly. Jenna Ortega's Wednesday is....MINDBLOWING. The not blinking, the face, the posture, everything is spot. on. What a frickin legend at 20 years old.
Bro, Jenna Ortega just exploded with the goth look. Her expressions and voice tone just carry everything out perfectly, and her personality in 2022 only fit her vibe even more. This show on Netflix is the ONLY thing that could ever get me to love the Addams family and it probably will be the only thing that ever got me to.
Until they cancel it because of money
Simp
@the_empath_etc They did not cancel the show- that was just season 1 and I am pretty positive that they are gonna be making a season 2 because they left us on a cliff-hanger so..
Jenna did a great job with the character of Wednesday.
Finally people are looking at the whole history of The Addams Family, There's just so many outside of Christina and Jenna's version and Hopefully many get rewatched. The New Addams Family series is on youtube people really should check it out, as to the original Addams Family. Unsure if any of the cartoons are around but the musical would be the hardest to find. If I was Netflix or Amazon I'd get all the versions streaming. Think 80+ years of the Addams Family.
Nah, Christian Ricci is the best.
After Jennifer (new one)
Definitely Ricci!
@@ICONICISLA Christina Ricci’s acting skills was more natural and she def nailed Wednesday role. She was brilliant and yeah Jenna did a great job too but sorry Christina is already an icon. New artists now including Jenna had their acting coaches. Try to watch The Addams Family Values and u’ll see what we meant
Yes
Yes
I loved the non deadly games they had before Netflix series. In the series there was a fear of death that didn’t seem to be so Addams family like. I missed that quirk.
Christina ricci felt natural . Jenna kinda feels like an character
Btw she did a good job though
Lets all not forget just HOW GREAT CHRISTOPHER LLOYD’S PERFORMANCE WAS AS UNCLE FESTER!!!!!
I was born in 1990 and I will always love Christina Ricci ♥️. 80's and 90's movies were the best 9f all time!
i agree and this new wednesday is poop
Yes
@@ANGRYTRUMP2024 no
@@shellbell6190 yes the 90s wednesday blows this fugly weird looking ortega away!
I like the 60’s version, portrayed by Lisa Loring - cute and disturbing. She had a duality that the others lack.
well, you cant make a 17 year old cute and disturbing, maybe like a hunted doll or something, but I think that he has a natural evolution
Don't they all have that duality? Or what's so special about Lisa's duality? Which versions have you seen btw, besides the one with Lisa in it?
@@Readysetgo2007 The later versions were older - pre-teens or teens - and, IMO, lacking in girlish charm.
Yes! She had a sort of innocence about her, like Oh yeah this is just how my family/ world is, like it was just natural, and it even had us as the audience convinced as well even though we’d sometimes see the contrast when “outsiders” would occasionally meet them and freak out a little, haha
@@CheshireCesare Yes, the “Wednesday Shuffle” dance she taught Lurch was cute - and contemporary. She had acquired tastes from both of the worlds she inhabited but was too naive to realize her family would be viewed as eccentric by outsiders.
Lisa, Christina and Jenna are my favorite Wednesday's.
Those are the only Wednesday's in my book
My favorite Wednesdays also
These are all great shows/News comics. The Addams are always great :)
NO ONE could ever replace Lisa Loring. She was simply adorable and a little creepy at the same time. RIP Lisa.
This is a great show 👍🏽

12:55 that really got me in the heart ❤
Melissa Hunter made my favorite Wednesday Addams. I am still waiting for more seasons.
❤️ her 🙂 "I cant swim" 😂
I'm not sure about this new Wednesday Addams since I haven't watched the series yet. But I swear I see her all over the internet. I'm for sure all about the Wednesday from the '90s. I grew up in the early 2000s and she was part of my childhood. I'm in my 20's. I'm goth now and 90's Wednesday is my icon so far.
Are you gonna watch the series? Btw, what does it mean to be goth? Just curious to know if it's just about clothing style or if it's also about life style.
@@Readysetgo2007 yes
@@Readysetgo2007 Being goth means you listen to goth music. Goth is a music-based subculture. The fashion is based on how the music artists used to dress. Some goths read gothic literature. Being goth also means you have an interest in the darker things in life. You find beauty in darkness. that is the shortest answer I can give you. I highly encourage you to do your own research. Goth has a long history and the subculture has been around since the 80s.
@@Readysetgo2007 There are various types of goth music but I am familiar with trad goth music. Examples of trad goth bands are The Cure, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Bauhaus, etc. In the dance scene in the new series, the girl who plays Wednesday in the new series, she was interviewed and she talks about how her dance moves were influenced by some of the goth bands like Siouxsie and The Banshees. The song playing in the scene is Teenage Goo Goo Muck played by The Cramps. The Cramps IDK if you consider them a goth band but a lot of goths know about them. I like their music.
@@Readysetgo2007 also gothic literature is mostly from the 18th century. Popular works are "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein," "Bram Stoker's Dracula," "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," possibly works by Edgar Allan Poe, and so on.
Christina introduced the best version of Wednesday we love but Jenna improved on that and took it to the next level
Melissa Hunter should be getting credit for coming up with the Wednesday series.
I do hope we get more seasons and maybe even a full Adams family spin off with the same cast
My favorite Wednesday Addams are the 60's Wednesday, Christina Ricci, The one in the Scooby-Doo Movies, The 1990's cartoon version, & Jenny Ortega
RIP Lisa Loring (2/16/1958 -1/28/2023). The original on screen Wednesday.
i didnt know that the addams family have a such long story its been 54 years since the fisrt show, and they are still best
54???
@@the_empath_etc yeah the The Addams Family its 54 years old first record was in 1964
Jenna is my favorite portrayal of Wednesday. Christina Ricci made the character iconic, but Jenna knocked it out of the damn park. She had 8 episodes to kill it and she did in everyone. There’s depth to the character the way we’ve never seen before.
Have you even seen Lisa Loring? she is the real Wednesday.
Ghanta
Jenna is good, but Christina is the BEST
@@shellbell6190 I personally think Jenna is far more memorable that Christina, Christina is not even that Memorable in her current role in this. Jenna will be remembered for years to come and will spawn many sequels that dance alone she did is already etched in pop culture history. christina was good , but nothing that memorable as the years went by..and continuing talking about her is pointless, its the past now.
@@shellbell6190 I agree.
I love them both,though
Christina Ricci and Jenna Ortega are the best Wednesdays.
Wednesday on Netflix 👏👏👏👏👏👏
My favourite Wednesday portrayals are Christina and Jenna! They did such a great job on portraying wednesday!
Jenna’s character is so awesome
Great job on your Adams family video
RIP Lisa Loring ❤️🙏🏾
During the dance scene in the most recent Wednesday series, Jenna Ortega actually had Covid at the time and she had to have medicine in betweeen shots and it was really hard for her to do, as she was tired but she pushed through and made it an amazing scene.
Loved this! I had really only ever seen the tv series from the 60s, so I missed all the other iterations (except maybe the scooby do episode and spinoff)
Great overview of the progression of the character Wednesday through the years. I too marveled at Christina Ricci's portrayal of the role; and find that Jenna Ortega's is that perfect mix which pays homage to earlier characterizations while making the brooding teen her own creation. The Netflix series "Wednesday" is thoroughly enjoyable and shows Ortega to be a true revelation. The end of the first season would portend a continuation of series. High hopes for what a potential Season 2 might bring.
For me, Ricci effortlessly played the role, Jenna “played” the role.
Right people don't understand me what I say that. Ricci made Wednesday seem natural and like the character was just talking. Jenna seemed like she read from a script.
Agree with the first part, disagree with the second.
They both effortlessly played her, but it also required a lot of effort.
Not everyone can be an actor, and no every actor has limitless talent.
@@icynishia1723 which isn’t bad at all
@@the_empath_etc you’re trying to make a point and I respect the effort
I love Christina Ricci version.
Yeah, I like Netflix version of Wednesday Addams. Jenna Ortega did a great job 👍🏻
Christina Ricci very much worth watching in her later roles too. Check out Prozac Nation, Black Snake Moan and of course Monster.
Agreed
Can't forget Buffalo '66.. it's one of her best films and performances..
I would say Christina Ricci sculpted Wednesday's success right now. She is the best and the iconic Wednesday. Christina seems so natural. Whilst Jenna is purely a character. Nevertheless,they both did excellent.

I only knew the 2019 and this new Jenna's 2022 version, Also ,fun fact , this character's name in My country is "Merlina" (like "Merlin" but with an A) anywho, happy friday Ms mojo and nice video about Wednesday as well. See you soon and happy holiday Season as well , take care and greetings from Colombia.

Wenclair. Love it. Need more.
Rest in peace, Lisa. You'll always be Wednesday❤
Basically she's evolved from side character that's only get few minutes of screentime to the main title of the series.
So basically what I call the Harley Quinn effect where the characters is meant be somewhat of a one off or very minor character that ppl then gravitates towards and becomes their own massive star.
Latinx isn’t a thing. Latino is the correct and gender neutral term. You could have said Hispanic too if the entire Spanish language and culture is too problematic for you.
I really enjoyed the series and Jenna did a fantastic job with the character. My own concern is with Luis Guzman. Although actors who played Gomez were good looking, I'm not wild about him. Maybe he'll grow on me in season two.
If you close your eyes and only hear him say his lines, how you feel about him then? :P
I'm 57 and love the all of them that have been made but the newest one is my favourite
Christina Ricci from the multiverse: Wednesday
Christina Ricci in the Wednesday: The hidden boss
My favourite wednesday is jenna ortegas(no hate to the other ones they were awesome aswell)
Christina Ricci!
Rest in Peace, Lisa Loring, the OG Wednesday
Tim Burton made his goal on creating a beautiful Wednesday with Jenna Ortega. Her actions, dancing moves, facial expressions and vocal differences. They were all iconic and powerful! Matched the expectations of our Wednesday that we are used to.
I’m a big sucker for Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams
Christina Addams and the Charles Addams cartoon in the New Yorker. But Jenna Ortega makes a great job.
Lisa Loring is my favorite Wednesday. She was about more than looking creepy and a dance. And had more than one facial expression.
Wednesday is great. My favorite Wednesday is the Addams Family 2 Movie
i love this video
Wednesday 2022 take it on an another level
The best Wednesdays are Christina Ricci and Adult Wednesday.
buen video haz mas
I prefer the original Wednesday from the original '60s sitcom series of The Addams Family. She was a cute little girl who just happened to like playing with dolls with no heads not a depressed teenager
I FULLY agree I love Jenna and she’s great same for Christina but it’s better when she is unaware that she’s weird
I'm sorry, but a kid liking to play with dolls that don't have heads is not depressing to you?
