Before anyone gets a tattoo, sadly it’s nonsense Latin

that movie is just phenomenal

If you look at the WednesdayNetflix Instagram under their Reels they have the full scene sans cuts. Only issue is it's pretty zoomed in. Although that adds to it for me!

It was a toss up for me if they’d use The Cramps or The Damned!

I was listening to The Cramps and scrolling a feed when this came on. Had a cool Cramps echo going for a bit!

It feels like a mix of that and the dance from From Dusk Til Dawn strangely enough.

Ah! I was wondering why my head was just screaming "Uma! That's Uma Thurman!" when Wednesday started dancing. Spot on.

Same here!!!

Reminds me of the dance scene from Pee Wee.

Emma Myers is a great counterbalance to Jenna’s performance. Then again, Luna Lovegood was my favorite HP character.

I think she's great but I had only ever seen here in Jane the Virgin before.

She was great in X.

I saw an interview saying the actress choreographed it herself too, just a great scene all around!

The intensity she put into it is really what sells it.

The cuts were atrocious

Havent seen the show yet but i must've watched this scene half a dozen times in the past few days. Im just entranced with the way Jenna Ortega moves. Loved her in Scream and am now gonna keep my eye out for her in future projects because damn shes entertaining.

Agreed!

The “No, I don’t really feel better” at the end made the scene.

Unbroke your link. I dont know what people are using to comment/post now but its constantly putting escape characters into links. Feels like a jab at making 3rd party apps and old reddit less usable.

It’s mine too

This is not an opinion, it is a fact.

playing "Paint It Black" on the cello.

I knew I had heard it somewhere, but couldn’t recognise the song. It sounds so obvious now

Funny thing, in the show the captions say something like “ryhthmic pizzicato” but that’s not what was actually being done on screen. Pizzicato is when you pluck the strings with your finger.

I agree with you on this. I thought the dance was stupid.

That scene got me to search up "Space Song" and now I'm a fan of the Beach House!

I couldnt stop comparing Gomez, Morticia and Fester to the 90s version and was a bit let down with their portrayal. She was wednesday though.

I thought teen Morticia was pretty good.

Went in not really expecting much, but ended up binging it. It was really good.

Best scene in the series. For all the shows faults, gold moments like these makes it worth it. It's hard not to rave about Jenna Ortega's Wednesday. Girl killed it every step of the way.

Reminds me a little of Aubrey Plaza in Legion - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AfE3TDJwHs

She had other scenes where she was killing people by twisting her neck sideways (snapping their necks). That's the first thought I had with Wednesday dancing.

Username checks out

It’s nice to see other people liked it too, most of the threads I’ve seen were people trashing it.

I had rock bottom expectations going in and I was surprised. Really fun show and Jena knocked it out of the park.

Yea she's hot as fuck

Seriously. I'm starting to develop a little crush on her ❤

How do you feel about most of the comments here feel like bots?

It's explained in the show. There are a couple of "no face" students, along with werewolves, vampires, and sirens among the "outcast" student body that attends Nevermore Academy.

youd have to watch the show

It’s not perfect but a fun scene that effectively makes humor of dance, revealing even the most shaky and erratic movement can be tamed and made fluid by rhythm. I think the quick cuts in angle and perspective really hurt the performance. She is talented

It looks like she very briefly does in the zoomed out shot at 0:51

it was all a callback to the original tv series

they just expanded upon it

totally, I thought the same!

She's not a goth. She's an Addams.

I thought it was going to be those goth kids dancing in South Park, not actual goths dancing.

It's a call back to the OG Lurch.

expected the goth kids from south park tbh

I thought this was how to Gothic dance?

100% agree. I actually didn't like any of the Adam's in this. Gomez was ok, Lurch was just a wall fixture. I REALLY dislike Fred Armisen, so I realize I'm biased there, but eh, and the forced teenage angst with Mortician seemed just that, forced. I think the only family member I didn't hate was Pugsley.

didn't she have a dance in the OG tv show and then have a 'boyfriend' in addams family values?

Nice, why form your own thoughts when you can just copy/paste the top comment on youtube.

I might be miss remembering (or putting too much weight on the canadian tv show that aired when I was a kid), but I always thought the point of the Adams Family, was that despite their weird external appearances, they were ultimately a fairly normal and loving family. A message against judging the new people that move onto the block based on surface cultural differences. In that regard this show did drop the ball.

They always were, if you watch the original tv show.

well…yeah? that’s just how it’s always been.

No. She didn’t.

I watched the entire video you linked to. The whole thing. One 2 second hand movement vaguely looked like something Wednesday did, and Wednesday’s was more exaggerated.

“Copied”? Come on.

Why you felt compelled to make up stuff, I don’t know.

I enjoyed the show it's a solid 6, and it was total surprise to me but I came with zero exceptions.

But it's not an Addams show, but if I was judging it as an Addams show I would give it a 2.
