You’re all failing to consider that Thing may be an animated Hand of Glory with formidable powers and a sexy bod.

Wikipedia posted:

A Hand of Glory is the dried and pickled hand of a hanged man, often specified as being the left (Latin: sinister) hand, or, if the person was hanged for murder, the hand that "did the deed."

For fucks sake... The Addamses are known to dabble in witchcraft that may or may not actually work, not being loving psychic superheroes. Their appeal comes with how they interact with the normal world, sending her to some gothic wizard academy completely shits on this concept, you might as well have it take place with aliens on the moon. And if she encountered a serial killer, they would be invited as an honored guest for family dinner and have their behavior encouraged, not be hunted down to be brought to justice.

Yeah the plot sounds... not good. Hoping it's just a lovely description or something, as yeah it does seem to completely miss the point of what make the Addamses the Addamses.

Everyone loves a fish out of water story.

Every time a character is baffled by absolutely normal things, it's the best part of the story it's in.

Goku driving cars, Thor eating at a diner, ET eating M&Ms, Harry Potter making GBS threads on the floor, it always loving rules.

And the Addams Family is a perfect, infinite fish out of water story.

American media seems to just want to retell the same handful of stories with a different coat of paint, probably because modern marketers are squares who don't consume coke anymore.

To me is sounds like they just take a few scripts that have been optioned and then throw them at a bunch of ghost writers to mash them all together. So you have scripts for an indie comic book movie, a teen rom-com/coming of age story, a murder mystery, and have to make them all fit into a 10mil budget movie that speaks to the 15-26 year old demographic and it needs to be released by next summer.

The Addams Family were the weird family on the block who embraced their weirdness, whereas the Munsters were weird and just happily oblivious to it.

May Thing massage your throat and never let go.
May Kitty Kat the lion lick you and find she likes the taste a lot.
May Morticia's man eating plant Cleopatra 'meat' you when it's due for feeding.
May you assist Grandmama in knife throwing practice (as a target).
May you walk away from a blunderbuss wielding Fester ("Shoot 'em in the back!").
May Cousin Itt drop down the chimney and cover you with soot.
May Gomez thrash in a swordfight so completely you never get up.
May Wednesday Addams cover you with spiders.
May Pugsley test his disintegrator gun on you.
May Lurch pick you up bodily and escort you to the door. :frogout:

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
The Addams Family is the 1%.

They're so god-damned rich and powerful that they amuse themselves with the most bizarre forms of entertainment AND have decided to live among the common people to perpetually be amused at their shocked and mocked existences in the face of their strange lives.

I follow Rob Zombie on social and he posts a lot of shots of the new Munsters show he is working on. I have no hope for it because I don't think there is a market for it, but it looks like they're having fun at least.
