So Wednesday Adams, Girl Detective is a thing now?
I've only seen parts a few eps as DH is watching, but I'll probably end up watching later. Even though, I baffled at how creepy child/teen Wednesday has become a thing.
It occurred to that it's almost more fanon that canon at this point. The original strips don't really lend themselves to that and the first adaption in the TV show was everything the movies aren't. From what I've seen, it's basically the only sitcom of that time period where the parents are actually competent without being a walking cliche, the parents actually like each other and family isn't all about "what will the neighbors think."
I guess it just annoys me how the newer versions took a warm, happy family and made them just another goth cliche.
I mean this ep is one of my favorites and it's pretty much the opposite of Wednesday-as-creepy-child-trope.
