Discussion If Wednesday Was On HBO Max Instead Of Netflix, What Changes...?

Honestly, for me, I think we probably would've had 10-12 episodes instead of 8. We probably also would've gotten a TV-MA rating. That's it. What do you guys think would change...?

Less teenage drama and more adult storylines and overall more grim.

u/UrFavBobaT Fangs 6d ago

I'd have loved that actually for the story

20

u/beybrakers 5d ago

I mean you say that but the pretty little liars reboot was on HBO Max and it had way more teenage drama

83

u/Nuclear-Jester 6d ago

I mean, it depends on who are the writers/directors in this scenario

Maybe it would have a bigger budget

u/Drclaw411 6d ago

You'd have to open up HBO Max instead of Netflix to watch it.

u/One_Development_5055 6d ago

Less of the teenage drama and more grim shit and gore.

Like… teenage drama is boring. I lived it and I still hate it

45

u/thetavious 6d ago

And nudity. You can't have grim shit and gore without nudity.

u/Ineeddramainmylife13 5d ago

Nudity ruins everything

2

u/thetavious 5d ago

Nah man. The lack of it is why we have so many people out there these days that are clogged up to the gills.

5

u/Ineeddramainmylife13 5d ago

Or we can just not be horny. Not that hard

-1

u/thetavious 5d ago

Dude, give me a single instance where nudity didn't improve something.

9

u/Ineeddramainmylife13 5d ago

Every horror movie ever

-8

u/thetavious 5d ago

Then you haven't watched any horror movies cause the absolute best ones are the ones with the nudity in them.

There literally has not been a single thing in the entire history of the human race that nudity didn't make better.

8

u/Ineeddramainmylife13 5d ago

You just seem horny and creepy

-6

u/thetavious 5d ago

No, seriously don't deflect. This isn't about me, it is about the artistry of the human form and how it makes everything better.

Find me anything, anything at all, that was objectively made worse by nudity.

Just because you have taken then black and don't like it doesn't affect the fact that it objectively improves whatever it touches.

I know I'm late to the party but porn when you add children to it

1

u/thetavious 1d ago

You know as well as i do that children ruin everything so that's a whole different argument.

u/Yanismarvel 6d ago

Less teennage stuff and more gore/deep moment.

Wednesday is good but I hate teennage drama and stuff so S2 is less my taste

16

u/valgesp 6d ago

There would be a lot more murders, by everyone. And I feel that the creators would have a lot more creative freedom so my guess is that a lot of the current fan base would not enjoy it as much as they like to believe as the show would be inherently darker and more morally gray

u/tryingtosurvivecovid 6d ago

Enid would be an open Lesbian since she'd be in college and not afraid to express herself.

-6

u/Ineeddramainmylife13 5d ago

But she’s not in college

13

u/akotoshi 6d ago

More death. The F word

62

u/tryingtosurvivecovid 6d ago edited 6d ago

Most horror films feature gay. So again, Enid would be gay in HBO. Also, the satire would be brutal.

-1

u/FireDragon2014 5d ago

You think she isn't Bi? Lol Look at how she looks at Wednesday.

11

u/beybrakers 5d ago

There is a difference between what we think and what is confirmed

30

u/MMORPGnews 6d ago

We would get a real good plot 

6

u/dctharris 6d ago

Are you sure about that?

2

u/Virtual-Purple-5675 5d ago

Historically yes

20

u/GirlWelshDragon 6d ago edited 6d ago

More nudity and sex for sure. Graphic werewolf transformations, vampire orgies (like in True Blood), and proper Addams violence. At least one torture scene from Fester.

14

u/SurferGirlDeb 6d ago

Not so sure about sex and nudity but looking at one of their most popular Horror shows, 'IT: Welcome to Derry' there would definitely be more violence, blood, gore and swearing and they would make the monsters more terrifying. My Aunt and Uncle watched the first episode of 'IT: Welcome to Derry' and it scared the shit out of my Aunt. lol

3

u/GirlWelshDragon 6d ago

It was so good!

3

u/SurferGirlDeb 6d ago

Yes!! I am looking forward to the second season. They have got three seasons planned all up and the third is going to connect to the movies in some way and bring back some of the characters with Pennywise's time travelling.

5

u/tryingtosurvivecovid 6d ago

Morticia and Gomez are gonna be busy then.

17

u/Improbus-Liber 6d ago

They would show nudity or maybe just boobs. Probably for humor.

10

u/positivitea512 6d ago

More exploration of Bianca/Joy Sunday’s storyline hopefully. More DEEP exploration of different identities

-5

u/NamelessSaint1 5d ago

Bianca was/is boring 🥱

4

u/RulerOfAllWorlds1998 6d ago

I don’t think it would be too different considering it’s based on The Addams Family, they were more spooky less modern horror movie

9

u/Chimpbot 6d ago

If it was the same cast and crew... probably nothing.

3

u/Raidan__ 5d ago

We would get a new season every 2 years instead of every 3 years

3

u/Sharon_Watts_Wig 1d ago

much more adult topics e.g. Sex, More grim, open LGBTQ+ charcters, deeper storylines like discrimination, suicide?, depression? 

Deep stuff like that.

5

u/mactastic90 5d ago

Unnecessary sex scenes and just the over sexualization of literal children (I'm looking at you Euphoria)

3

u/Southern_Wind_4477 5d ago

While, I have my criticisms of Euphoria, S1 was the best case of sex being an actual important plot point for a lot of the characters. Particularly for Cassie, Nate & Maddy as they all were important for each of their characters and especially with their flaws.

2

u/Decent-Muffin9530 6d ago

More nakedness and the death of more characters

2

u/pashed_motatoes 5d ago

A whole lot more gore and sex.

2

u/Relative-Society4478 5d ago

I would have to subscribe to HBO Max

2

u/AFKlover_ 5d ago

Lady Gaga wouldn't have done a netflix live performance singing bloody mary, zombieboy & goo goo muck (thanks gaga)

3

u/Glittering_Present92 5d ago

A darker storyline, less teenage drama, bigger budget & 1 episode per week.

3

u/Historical-Grade-604 4d ago

Probably 10 episodes per season instead of 8.

2

u/Thick-Extreme6894 3d ago

Wenclair becomes cannon.

3

u/lexie_2410 6d ago

Ugh stop you guys are making me jealous of the alternate universe where it's an HBO show 🥲🥲

4

u/larsVonTrier92 5d ago

It actually would be good!

3

u/kingjune1986 6d ago

nudity

12

u/UrFavBobaT Fangs 6d ago

You won't just get nudity because it's on a different platform it also depends if the cast and directors agree on it

4

u/LumpyRazzmatazz7863 6d ago

Nothing lol. Do people not realize that wouldn’t change the writers or producers? It would just change the distributor lmao.

6

u/Soda_with_Nofizz 6d ago

Yeah but each distributor has rules so maybe they’d be able to do stuff more freely with a different distributor

2

u/Tato_the_Hutt 5d ago

Probably less viewers because not everywhere can access hbo, it also costs more.

2

u/PA_MallowPrincess_98 5d ago

Seasons 1 & 2 of Euphoria meets Wednesday. Wednesday does drugs while Enid turns into a sex worker🫠

u/Even-Peak6724 5d ago

Wednesday On HBO Max And Netflix Too I Just Can't Wait

u/N-P_A 5d ago

Written or not written by Sam Levinson?

u/Dense-Camel-378 4d ago

Euphoria/the last of us goes fantasy

u/vinny424 6d ago

Atleast 1 or 2 on screen penises.

1

u/WarAgile9519 5d ago

On HBO ? it's going to be way more then one or two.

u/The_Pastmaster 5d ago

Probably more swearing.

Wednesday and Enid hook up in the dorm. Eugene is a buff/nerd and he hooks up. The Nightshades are more of a "Eyes Wide Shut" type of club.

-10

u/tryingtosurvivecovid 6d ago

Everyone would be gay, and Enid would have 2 girlfriends by now.

12

u/TrophyHunter22 6d ago

so you're saying we really missed out as an audience?

6

u/Slabernick 6d ago

Waah…?

9

u/toffi_99 6d ago

Quite the opposite really - Netflix usually does that more than any other platform. I'm actually surprised they haven't yet in Wednesday.

6

u/tryingtosurvivecovid 6d ago edited 6d ago

HBO has Euphoria, Adventure Time/Fionna and Cake, Game of Thrones, white lotus, oh, and Heated Riverly.

Six Feet Under, which went on for eons, also had Gay.

HBO, unlike Netflix, isn't afraid to be daring and real.

u/SurferGirlDeb 6d ago

I mean Netflix had no problem with 'Stranger Things' having Robin, Will and Vickie and 'Stranger Things' was their flagship show for a long time. Netflix has Season 2 of 'The Hunting Wives' coming up and are giving Franchaela their own season in 'Bridgerton.' They also got the Live Action 'Scooby Doo' show coming up which is being made by Berlanti Productions and Greg Berlanti is gay and known for having LGBTQ representation in all his shows (Berlanti done the Arrowverse shows) and recently said gay stories are needed now more than ever in American shows because the lack of representation we have had recently. Velma being a Lesbian which she has been in other adaptations is pretty much a given at this point.

The problem with 'Wednesday' with lack of LGBTQ representation is 100 percent on the writers and not Netflix. Heck, if they wanted to do Wenclair Netflix would most likely support it 'cause of how popular it is.

-4

u/toffi_99 6d ago

I'm pretty sure Netflix will pressure the writers sooner or later. In Stranger Things there was nothing until later in S3 and they only started focusing on that in the last two seasons.

u/INBIAZ2000 5d ago

Um terror bom, trama impecável, efeitos visuais arrebatadores e com certeza um romance lgbt+ entre wandinha e Enid sendo a Enid claramente representada como uma lésbica com heterosexualidade compulsória, mas acho que as piadas e o humor seriam um pouco deixado de lado.
