This is a weird one.
I was going to pass on this. Actually having super powers, going to wizard school. That really felt like, it was missing the point. As well as latching way too much on the movie depiction, especially the silly thanksgiving scene as pointed out.
but, lots of positive things said here. So, giving it a shot. Not too far in, but yeah, enjoying it more then I expected. Not a fan of the personality. She's just a bitch. I will laugh if someone points it out eventually. "you're not weird, spooky, too good for any of this. you are just a bitch."
The school thing, seems to be done well. I expected bad things. But, the joke is sortof Hogwarts, werewolves/vampires young adult shit IS mainstream these days. So Goth Wednesday among a bunch of Young adult fiction characters is prime for laughs.

She wasn't my favorite character in those. but, I'd say it was more spotty. I hated the Thanksgiving scene. Shes wrong, and just being cruel. It was not a character just being herself, and that creating a clash.
that that character is now virtually identical to the modern woke feminist is certainly funny in its own right. Watched Winx and theres a character that practically says half that shit word for word unironically.

and I got to the part where the Thanksgiving scene comparison is literal. "we were living in peace with nature and the natives, till you mean white man came and murdered all these innocent women for no reason" oh fuck off. This bullshit has been repeated so often, its now the mainstream, and people think its true.

Thanksgiving as we celebrate it is pretty much born from a myth more or less started in the 19th century. There were some celebratory feasts between the Wampanog and the Pilgrims after some conflicts vs. rivals, but that was standard back then. People forget that there was a lot of political machinations back then on the part of the natives - the Wampanog wanted to help leverage the assistance of the Pilgrims in defeating a rival tribe, for example. There was also like 50 years of peace until the head of the Wampanog died and then you had the King Philip War, where tribes like the Mohawk sided with the English vs. the Wampanog and Narragansett.
Did the natives eventually get fucked over by the people coming from Europe? Absolutely. But it is important to remember that early on, most of the tribes mostly entered into alliances of convenience with settlers or to gain an advantage over other rival tribes. Because they're human, and humans are fucking predictable when it comes to power.

fyi, She does get called out a bit for her shit. and she does reflect on the fact she does like people, and is hurt by them leaving. but they all just immediately forgive her and come back, with a few days.
in the end. eh. could be worse could be better.

She says a few SJW things and it's fucking hilarious coming from a sociopath who doesn't blink.
On that topic, the show kept me glued to the screen just to see if the actress would actually blink or smile at any point lol. It's a great performance.

Idk, I think Guzman was perfect.
Sure the bombastic Julia performance is great. But, he's also a bit too dashing.
I'd say Jones was worse as Morticia. too emotionally, and motherly. Huston nailed that otherworldly gothic demeanor.
The flashback/younger versions of both were terrible. IDK what they were thinking. Had the actress never even seen The Addams family? did she even know who she was portraying?

Once a year this pisses me off.
Thanksgiving was invented by Abraham Lincoln during the civil war. If you read his speech, an eloquent and short piece announcing the new holiday Thanksgiving, you'll notice it doesnt have anything to do with Pilgrims or Indians. (some may want to credit the magazine editor Sarah Hale since she suggested the idea to him; fair enough)
The gist of it: is let us thank God for His mercy toward us, even in the midst of this necessary war, and let us pray for the widows and orphans it has created; and let us pray that it ends soon.
This is a matter of historical fact, readily available if you search for it.
The holiday doesnt have anything to do with pilgrims. I am not sure why later efforts to tell a fictionalized story of "the first thanksgiving" somehow caught on as the meaning. Its like if everyone thought Christmas was really about Santa Claus and sat around talking about details of the Santa story every year and never mentioned the birth of Christ.
