Why this is such a wonderful film.
Morticia could forgive Debbie for murdering her parents over them getting her the wrong Barbie doll.
Morticia could forgive Debbie being a black widow serial killer and a greedy, manipulative sociopath.
She could even forgive Debbie trying to kill Fester (meh, the man is practically indestructible, anyway).
But pastels.
Pastels…. what were you thinking, Debbie?
The great tragedy of the movie is Debbie finally found the perfect family for her but was too blind & self-involved to see it. Welcoming, kind, generous, accepting of homicidal tendencies & wealthy. If only she had been capable of loving people, she would have been an Addams to the core.
Poor Debbie.
No, seriously. They didn’t care that she was a serial killer. They didn’t even care that she was trying to kill Fester. (Fester saw it as foreplay anyway, and the man can survive anything.)
Debbie trying to keep Fester away from the rest of the family. That was their only problem.
Otherwise…they were pretty fine with her.
How that movie should have ended:
Addams Family Dinner: Debbie is still trying to kill Fester for his money and slips cyanide into his meal. Fester (again) survives. Morticia points out: “You’ll have to do better next time, Debbie.”
And they *all* laugh, including Debbie.
