“Wednesday is already a teenager, we have never seen her like this and we have not seen her so much on the screen”Ortega tells it in the official Netflix statement. Your sarcastic and sassy comments don’t have to sound so charming when they come from someone who probably should know more than a 10-year-old girl.. It’s a balancing act, because we didn’t want her to sound like another teenager, but we didn’t want her to be too ignorant either. Whenever we saw Wednesday, she was the star of a joke, the funniest one, she’s always right, and I think that’s what people love about her. But in this series, every scene is Wednesday. There’s an opportunity to give her a little more dimension and she becomes a more real person, which I don’t think we’ve ever seen before. “.
