Wednesday Pitch Meeting

Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Wednesday!

Netflix has another show to add to their list of massive list of worldwide successes with Wednesday, the Addams Family spinoff from Tim Burton.

Wednesday definitely raises some questions though. Like why is Wednesday the only non-normal person at a school full of monsters? Why does she simultaneously love horrible stuff while actively trying to stop horrible stuff from happening? Why does the guy who hates magic use so much magic? Why is Goody Addams named Addams?!

To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Wednesday.

"What are their personalities like?"
"PASS"
I love pitch meeting so much

"Young kid like trend. Young Kid watch show. Producer guy get money."
Sums up Netflix' overall content strategy beautifully.

[doctortrouserpants]

"No-one's gonna notice, it's just the core concept of the show." This is just beautiful

[kaliss]

Show would have made more sense if Wednesdays cheery roommate was the detective and Wednesday was just along for the ride and her doing bad sht inadvertently solved the crime.

"What are their personalities?"
"Pass."
Painfully accurate.

[Nicoandthepage]

"So what are their personalities like?"
"Pass."
Got me dead
💀

Jenna Ortega recently pointed out these inconsistencies with her character in a podcast, and a producer got really mad at her for "trashing" the show's writers 😂

It's wild to think that this whole thing happened because two screenwriters collided in a hotel hallway and accidentally mixed up their pitches. Because of that moment Velma wound up as a sassy misanthrope making fun of everyone at her school and Wednesday went around solving supernatural mysteries. smh

"And what are their personalities like?"
"Pass... "
Love this

[bertbrekfust]

I remember watching Wednesday getting healed by the ghosts and thinking: "Yep, this is going to be the "barely an inconvenience" bit of the pitch meeting"

[TickerSymbolYOU]

"Monsters aren't supposed to kill people"
"...well..."
I died

Jenna Ortega has said in interviews that she was aware that Wednesday's character was inconsistently written and even tried to change some of the dialogue herself, though she was overruled by the showrunners.

Gomez’s powers always seemed to be superhuman luck. Makes tons of money without even trying, gets in and out of life threatening situations without a scratch, landed Morticia, and his daughter is the biggest success on Netflix since Squid Game.

"If her powers are secret, how do they know to let her in?"

Her parents went to the school so she has the secondary power of nepotism.

[mysticmarbles]

"She must be a pretty good detective."
"Yeah she had a vision about it and then the killers admitted to it."
"Well that seems like cheating."

LMAO got 'em. Best part.

Writer Guy and Producer Guy being so happy and chanting "Money" takes the absolute cake for me.

[JonathonFyck]

“If her powers are secret how’d they know to let her in?”

Because she has another power called being the main character of the show

[izanblancoqureshy]

Is it just me or have they progressively gotten way meaner to each other 😭

[akaartgenerator]

Watching a pitch meeting instead of the product
being pitched is TIGHT! 😁

[Vastad]

Producer Guy: "People are tight!"
Writer Guy: "Some are, yeah sure."

This broke me 😂
