Here Are All The Reasons Why We Love Wednesday Addams

The Addams Family is iconic, no doubt. Made up of some fascinating and spooky characters, every family member has their own thing. But when it comes to Wednesday Addams, she has probably gained the biggest cult status of them all, and that’s just because she is so naturally the coolest misfit ever seen on screen. Her general disdain for the world is something even Daria Morgendorffer would envy, her comebacks are razor-sharp, she rocks that black frock, and she’s only 10 years old. Here are all the reasons Wednesday Addams is so irresistibly iconic.

She’ll Never Be Fake

True, Wednesday is not the most affectionate person in the world, and her iciness can create a bit of a wall. But imagine the moment where she actually cracks a smile. You know you’re in her trusted circle if that ever happens! She’s the kind of girl that will never be insincere. She was taught, or (even taught herself) to say only say whatever is on her mind. Sure, that’s not always great, but at least she’s honest.

She’s Independent

Ok, so Wednesday has a cute little love interest from camp, neurotic little Joel Glicker, but she isn’t exactly chasing him around. She’s just off living her best life and if Joel is in, then he’s in.

She’s Scary

Wednesday often gets overlooked because people perceive her as “just a little girl,” but this 10-year-old packs a punch and has a tongue that will cut you into ribbons. Since it’s not easy being a little girl in a world she doesn’t fit into, she has a whole lot of strength to survive. This explains her cunning ability to not only keep herself safe but also scare you away. That deathly glare in pigtails will put you back in your place in a split second.
