As fun as Wednesday’s show was, these two were just the quintessence of the roles

Their competition wasn’t that fierce, Luis Guzman is a great actor, especially when being comical, but he very much is NOT Gomez Addams. But no matter who it was, I doubt they’d be able to beat Raul Julia or Anjelica Huston.

I’d love Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder to take it on.

Only if Johnny plays Morticia and Winona plays Gomez

Overused characters who don’t have a lot of range, it would basically be watching Depp and Ryder in a romance together with some funny dialogue.

Gomez and Morticia require a style of acting that calls back to early romance movies and is overplayed and over-the-top while remaining classical and debonaire and oozing with romance. I can’t see that chemistry with Depp and Ryder.

It also doesn’t hurt that Anjelica is always illuminated like she’s from another movie altogether (credit to CinemaTherapy). The director turned the glamor factor up to 11 in every scene without breaking anything. It’s impossible to follow that.

Raul, somehow, manages to be a complete ham yet relatable, lovable, and most importantly, believable.

The scene in the addams family where the light that falls across her eyes is already on her mark so when she steps into place the light just falls into place kills me every time

The legendary John Astin and Carolyn Jones might like a word!

That show was just weird as hell to watch growing up, along with The Munsters and to a lesser extent Bewitched.

To be fair, their movie portrayals were amazing too.

I feel like these two have always been Gomez and Morticia. Even the series was just a pale imitation.

Its a pretty cool way that we all think of Gomez as Raul Julia. But this was OG Gomez

Benicio maybe, he is a tad too subdued in all of his performances, but maybe he could muster some energy for the role. Javier Bardem, while one of our greats, is a hard pass, mainly due to his energy only being able to hit a max of like level 2 or 3 out of ten in anything I’ve seen him in. (Now here come the downvotes) Diego Luna is a no, I’ve only ever seen him in Andor and Rogue one, and he showed 0 charisma in those, so I can’t see it for him. Efren Ramirez, fuck you, Pedro is never to be Gomez.

Really? I’d have to vote Guzmsn over Raul. Don’t get me wrong I love Raul and he was my og Gomez. But Guzman just had a better craziness I feel. That being said I watched them years apart, and Guzman had a few wildly amazing roles that might be swaying me.

The writing was so exemplary. And it’s one of those deals where the sequel is actually better than the first eg Gremlins, Shrek, Bad Boys

I’m a Gomez at heart but more of a Fester in the looks department.

The key to Gomez energy is his sincerity. You might not be able to draw a Morticia (because she’s probably already got a Gomez) but a Fester with sincerity who aims with his heart rather than his eyes/dick has a good chance of finding true love.

According to the first movie, Fester was more of a ladies man than Gomez, or at least that’s what Gomez thought.

Money solves that part. In rare cases charisma pulls you out, but that’s much harder to achieve.
