Jenna Ortega attacked her own Netflix series Wednesday quite a few times in recent months. She made it clear in a new interview that she’s not going to stop there.
The Netflix series Wednesday broke records last year and became a pop culture phenomenon. Jenna Ortega portrayed the Addams daughter with reserve and dark humour, hitting a goth nerve the world didn’t even know she possessed.
A sideshow of the Wednesday boom: Jenna Ortega shot criticism arrows in the direction of the directing and writing team behind the series with bizarre regularity. She was almost always right. For example, Ortega felt that her character was misunderstood and criticised the inappropriate love story in the series. She also addressed problems behind the scenes. According to a new interview, the Wednesday team can expect more objections from Jenna Ortega in season 2.
“Just keep going”: Jenna Ortega won’t be slowed down
The Hollywood Reporter regularly hosts roundtable discussions between actors:and actresses. In the current so-called roundtable, Jenna Ortega was a guest and her statements about Wednesday the elephant in the room. However, the conversation first came to Devery Jacobs, who plays one of the main roles in Reservation Dogs. Jacobs was given a position in the show’s Writers Room and is even directing in season 3. Would those doors have opened because Jacobs had voiced her opinion on the development of the series? Jacobs replied in the affirmative, saying she was probably one of those “annoying actresses” who always had comments.
The elephant in the room grew to mammoth size. I wonder what Jenna Ortega, master of remarks, has to contribute to this conversation? Whether everyone present was holding their breath at that moment, we don’t know. But we do know what Jenna Ortega said, and the sentence packs a punch:
“And if anyone makes you feel like you’re being annoying about it, you just move on. “
Jenna Ortega has a lot more clout in Wednesday season 2
Jenna Ortega has certainly been criticised for her criticism. She became a meme during the demonstrations for the writers’ strike. But this statement above shows: she so doesn’t care. In season 2 of the Netflix hit, it is already known that Jenna Ortega will be a producer. Criticising Wednesday is now practically part of her job description and that can only have a positive effect on the quality.
