Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega)

2. Wednesday (Jenna Ortega)

“Wednesday is one of the best characters in Wednesday and not just because she’s the star of the show. Ortega’s performance as Wednesday was phenomenal, with some declaring it one of the best iterations of the character yet. She paid homage to the original Wednesday while also making her older, more layered, and complex. Wednesday is a truly interesting character and one that is very difficult to predict or figure out. On the one hand, she can be arrogant, condescending, manipulative, selfish, and anti-social. On the other hand, she can be fiercely passionate, brilliant, eccentric, and devoted to justice. Not to mention, she can be quite hilariously deadpan. She is a true gothic heroine who proves that being different doesn’t always mean bad.” read more
