Strong Left
Primary
The series champions marginalized 'outcasts' and explicitly condemns historical and contemporary bigotry against them, aligning with themes of social justice and inclusion.
The series demonstrates significant DEI through its intentional casting of lead roles with minority actors, solidifying a non-white identity for characters often portrayed as generically white. The narrative further reinforces DEI themes by explicitly critiquing traditional societal intolerance, positioning 'normies' and historical persecutors as antagonists against a diverse group of outcasts.
Secondary
The Addams Family characters, including Wednesday, Gomez, and Pugsley, were canonically established as white in prior adaptations and source material. In 'Wednesday' (2022), these characters are portrayed by Latino actors, shifting their on-screen racial presentation from white to Latino, which constitutes a race swap.
The show 'Wednesday' does not explicitly portray any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes in its first season. While some interpretations of characters exist among fans, the series itself does not present or explore queer identities or relationships as part of its narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The series features established Addams Family characters such as Wednesday, Gomez, Morticia, and Pugsley, all of whom retain their canonical genders from previous adaptations and source material. New characters introduced for the show are original creations and not gender-swapped versions of existing legacy characters.
