これまた無慈悲なConfirmationが・・・（爆ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ
Wednesday Addams is a fictional character from the Addams Family multimedia franchise created by American cartoonist Charles Addams. She is typically portrayed as a morbid and emotionally reserved child that is fascinated by the macabre, often identified by her pale skin and black pigtails.
Wednesday has been portrayed by several actresses in various films and television series, including Lisa Loring in the television series The Addams Family (1964–1966) and in the television film Halloween with the New Addams Family (1977); Christina Ricci in the feature films The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993); Nicole Fugere in the direct-to-video film Addams Family Reunion (1998) and in the television series The New Addams Family (1998–1999); and Jenna Ortega in the streaming television series Wednesday (2022).
Origin
Addams Family members were unnamed in The New Yorker cartoons that first appeared in 1938. When the characters were adapted for the 1964 television series, Charles Addams named Wednesday based on the Monday's Child nursery rhyme line: "Wednesday's child is full of woe". Actress and poet Joan Blake, an acquaintance of Charles Addams, offered the idea for the name.[1] Wednesday is the sister of Pugsley Addams and the only daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams. Earlier adaptations depict her as the younger sibling, while later adaptations depict Wednesday as the elder Addams child.
Appearance and personality
Wednesday Addams is a typically young girl (in the original series, she is about six, in the two original movies and animated movies, she is 13, and in the Netflix series named for her, she is 15, though later turns 16, and is 18 in the Addams Family musical) who is obsessed with death and is described as very brilliant, with a penchant for doing odd scientific experiments. Wednesday does most of her experiments on her brother Pugsley Addams for "fun" or for punishment. Wednesday has been shown to care for Pugsley, but is often hostile towards him, and has tried to kill Pugsley many times. She enjoys raising spiders and researching the Bermuda Triangle. She has a tendency to startle people due to her gothic personality.
Wednesday's most notable features are her pale skin and long, dark braided pigtails (which, in the 1990's animated series, nobody else is allowed to touch, and it's implied Wednesday will get very violent if anyone else does grab them). She seldom shows her emotions and is generally bitter, often sporting a stare forward with blank, emotionless eyes, and seldom changes her expression. Wednesday usually wears a black dress with a white collar, black stockings, and black shoes. In the Netflix series, it's mentioned that Wednesday's allergic to any color other than black, white, or grey; claiming that she breaks into hives if she gets in contact with any other colors.
In the 1960s series, she is sweet-natured and serves as a foil to the weirdness of her parents and brother; although her favorite hobby is raising spiders, she is also a ballerina. Wednesday's favorite toy is her Marie Antoinette doll, which her brother guillotines (at her request). She is stated to be six years old in the television series pilot episode. In one episode, she is shown to have several other headless dolls as well. She also paints pictures (including a picture of trees with human heads) and writes a poem dedicated to her favorite pet spider, Homer. Wednesday is deceptively strong; she is able to bring her father down with a judo hold, however most adaptations of her do not portray her in this manner.
Wednesday has a close kinship with the family's giant butler Lurch in all portrayals, and in the Netflix series, she also seems to be closer with her Uncle Fester, even giving a genuine smile when she sees him. In the TV series, her middle name is "Friday",[2] and in the Netflix series named after her, she retains this middle name, and it is because she was born on Friday the 13th. In the Spanish version, her name is Miércoles (Wednesday in Spanish); in Latin America she is Merlina; in the Brazilian version she is Wandinha (“little Wanda” in Portuguese); in France, her name is Mercredi (Wednesday in French) and in Italy her name is Mercoledì (Wednesday in Italian).
In the 1991 film, she is depicted in a darker fashion. She shows sadistic tendencies and a dark personality and is revealed to have a deep interest in the Bermuda Triangle (which has remained an integral part of her interests throughout the adaptations) and an admiration for an ancestor (Great Aunt Calpurnia Addams) who was burned as a witch in 1706. In the 1993 sequel, she was even darker: she buried a live cat, tried to guillotine her baby brother Pubert, set fire to Camp Chippewa, and (possibly) scared fellow camper Joel to death.
In the animated series and Canadian TV series The New Addams Family from the 1990s, Wednesday retains her appearance and her taste for darkness and torture; she is portrayed as having her parents' consent to tie Pugsley to a chair and torture him with a branding iron and ice pick.
In The Addams Family Broadway musical, Wednesday is 18 years old and has short hair rather than the long braids in her other appearances. Her darkness and sociopathic traits have been toned down, and she is in love with (and revealed to be engaged to) Lucas Beineke. In the musical, Wednesday is older than Pugsley.
In the parody web series Adult Wednesday Addams, Wednesday, as played by Melissa Hunter, recovers her dark, sociopathic and sadistic nature (although as in the originals any actual horrific acts are only implied and may or may not occur off-camera) and her long braids, connecting with the events and the depiction of the movies and the original cartoons. This Wednesday deals with being an adult after moving out of her family home.[3] The web series gained media attention with the third episode of Season 2 in which Wednesday punished a pair of catcallers.[4] While this behavior gained attention from early fans, The Tee & Charles Addams Foundation, copyright owners of The Addams Family, flagged the series for copyright violation resulting in the series being temporarily pulled from YouTube,[5] however as of 2016 the series has been reinstated.
In the 2019 animated version of the same title, Wednesday retains her emotionless nature and sadistic tendencies, trying to bury Pugsley and tormenting a bully at school, and it is stated that her birthday was on a Tuesday. However, despite her gothic strangeness, she's also bored with her macabre and sheltered life, wanting to see the world despite Morticia's objections. This leads to her befriending Parker Needler and the two taking on several of each other's traits, with Wednesday at one point wearing colorful clothes, though ultimately deciding she likes dressing in darker colors more; in the 2021 sequel, she is revealed to love science experiments as well, unlike the earlier adaptations where she simply enjoys doing experiments on Pugsley. She also often feels disconnected from the rest of her family for her differences, later realizing that being different is "the most Addams-y thing to be" and growing to love her differences, and has a pet squid named Socrates. Her braided pigtails end in nooses in the first film, and weights in the second.
In the Netflix series Wednesday, Wednesday is the titular character and is interested in being a detective. She has an interest in writing novels, specifically gothic mysteries. She tries to publish her works, but they are seen as far too shocking and macabre to publish. Other than writing, some of Wednesday's other hobbies are cello playing and fencing. Wednesday could also speak German. She generally retains her interest in scary things, and her mostly emotionless nature, but opens up during the course of the series: having a best friend, the colorful werewolf Enid; having a love interest; showing her care for her brother more explicitly; and her powers have shifted from the original super strength to psychic abilities, being able to see important things of a person's past or future through touch, and these visions typically are negative, which causes her to generally estrange herself from everyone else, thinking she cannot trust them, though she does learn to trust. Her mother, who has similar abilities, tells Wednesday that their psychic visions are presented based on their own attitudes, and that Wednesday's visions tend to be darker and more negative, compared to Morticia's visions being happier.
