Reddit Reacts To Tim Burton Announcement and It’s Hilarious

In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past day or so, let us fill you in, would you? Streaming giant Netflix has announced they are working on a Wednesday Addams series, helmed by no other than Tim Burton. Predictably, the internet had a few things to say about the legendary director going to the Addams family franchise in 2021. Our favorite snippets came from the one and only front page of the internet. Ladies and gents, welcome to Reddit Reacts To Tim Burton Announcement!

Wednesday and Ricci Love

There’s a lot of love for both Wednesday Addams as a character, and Christina Ricci as an actress. You cannot do a Reddit Reacts to Tim Burton’s Announcement article without highlighting all the love they are both getting. So, here we go:

Dashed hopes from us all…

Relatability comes through…

Ah, yes, don’t we all…

As a huge fan of Ricci myself, I love that the actress is getting some recognition. Though I also think it’s good for another person to take up the mantle. Speaking of recurring themes and people, though…

Helena Bonham-Comment

“Reddit Reacts to Tim Burton” in any way, shape or form was bound to feature mainstay collaborators. Johnny Depp came second only to Helena Bonham-Carter (to whom Burton was, of course, married). The internet’s home page had a few chucles with that one, and some genuine comments, too.

Helena’s one-woman show, I’d actually watch it…

The fountain of youth…?

At least some positivity….

As for me, I love HBC. She’s fantastic. It is a bit of a meme to have her associated with Burton all the time, but they’re both great at what they do. That won’t stop the cynics, though.

Cynicism on how Reddit Reacts To Tim Burton? Say It Isn’t So!

Some directorial advice…

Some doubts about the context…

And the evergreen…

I mean, the username alone is worth the embed, I think.

Overall, I’m super happy to see Burton working on a new project. Tonally, it’s a good match. I’m not crazy about the synopsys, but I’ll give both Burton and Netflix the benefit of the doubt.
