Reply to comment by Chris22533 in ‘Wednesday’ review: Jenna Ortega makes a delightful anti-heroine in Netflix’s Addams Family spinoff. by Comic_Book_Reader

There are many versions of the Adams Family, but as far as I’m aware the “only” version that portrays Gomez as “handsome and suave” were the two movies from the 90s.

In all other versions, they were always meant to be “creepy-looking”, which probably works best with the overall aesthetic about this family being a bunch of frightening weirdos transplanted into a modern setting.
