How Gay is Wednesday's Nevermore Academy? | READUS 101
🕑 Added 2022-12-21 20:05:59 +0000 UTCNevermore Academy, the school for outcasts in The Addams Family Netflix show “Wednesday,” contributes to modern-day mythos created by Addams Family Values by using Wednesday Nevermore Academy and its story to its allegory of being queer in a straight world that doesn’t want you. But in the case of Netflix Wednesday both succeeds and falls short in how Nevermore Academy handles the lgbtq allegory, while failing in how it handles actual representation.

Amazing essay of an enjoyable, yet flawed series. I'm a lifelong fan of The Addams Family and I feel "WEDNESDAY" still has potential. Hopefully, the show runners, producers and writers will improve upon Season 1. La'Ron, looking forward to more engaging videos from you! All my best... :)

For me, it should have been so much more. Everyone felt flat and boring except Wednesday and a bit of Enid. There was too many threads being tackled in this season and interesting queer/monster themes and characters fell by the wayside. Sadly
