Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams delivers some of the best lines. These include her sickest burns and a poor outlook on life in general.
Ortega’s performance has been excellent from dialogue delivery to her expression-less stance. It’s no denying that no one can outsmart this young girl when it comes to burns. Unimpressed by almost everyone and everything, Wednesday’s impeccable quotes have left a mark on fans.
Let’s check out some of her best quotes from the series:
“It’s amateurs like you who give kidnapping a bad name!”
When Wednesday is kidnapped by the nightshades, the secret society at Nevermore, they tie her up and held her captive in the school’s underground library.
Wednesday however seems to be in complete control of the situation. She is not interested in joining the gang. As she is more than capable of handling things on her own, she unties herself and tops off the scene with this quote.
“The most interesting plants grow in the shade.”
Turns out Wednesday is not the only one parting wisdom. Ms. Thornhill, the normie, has some stark take on things too, especially Wednesday’s personality.
Wednesday is alone at the start of the series as she believes that she is inherently very different from everyone else. Ms. Thronhill’s quote seems to resonate well with her situation.
As the series progresses, Wednesday eventually realizes the importance of her peers.
“I don’t believe in heaven or hell, but I do believe in revenge!”
Wednesday Addams is straightforward about one thing. No one can cross her or those she holds close. If someone does, they will be facing serious consequences.
“Sometimes I act like I don’t care if people like me…”
Wait for it.
Wednesday Addams has given the impression that she doesn’t care what others think of her. So deep down, does she care? Not really.
To finish her quote “Deep down, I secretly enjoy it.’
She enjoys how people condemn her character. She enjoys the insults!
“Thing, if you can hear me … if you die, I will kill you.”
Okay, Wednesday has a heart after all. Throughout the series, she has journeyed from being a cold angry teen to a loyal friend. Of the many she has nurtured her relationship with, Thing takes the win.
When Thing is gravely injured and seems to have given up, Wednesday shows love by saying this line, which on the surface is cruel but is close to the nicest thing she has ever said to someone she cares about.
“For someone who claims to have no friends you certainly go out of your way to protect them.”
Principal Weems, the character we all couldn’t figure out whose side is on, wins our respect as she departs from the series.
This quote from Weems highlights a common trait both Wednesday and Weems share, “loyalty.”
The show is full of apt quotes that will make you appreciate the dialogue. Tell us which quote you admired the most from Netflix’s Wednesday.
