He had an amazing run but you also have to consider the time he had that run in. All 80s and early 90s stuff and that culture would absolutely not fly today.

Sister services to the forum will have longer downtime. There's still ongoing service-level attacks which are causing intermittent errors and general slowness.

Ethan Klein should play Fester, he already seems quite committed to this role lol
Hila can play Cousin It, they could finally reveal what's underneath all that hair and scare the shit out of everyone when her face pops out

Not sure what you are talking about, Ed Wood feels perfectly timely with today's culture.
Yeah, it basically had a "these freaks and weirdos that everyone fears are actually a-ok" vibe to it and it had a main character (Bill Murray's character) trying to troon out long before the concept was even widely known. The only thing that might not line up with today's brand of Wokeness is the fact that Ed Wood was a crossdresser, not a troon, and today's woke audience would definitely want him to be a troon.
Ok, one movie out of his filmography. Wood wasn't even gay though, he just liked wearing women's clothing. I'm sure the deviants today would still call him a nazi.

Which is ironic since the man fought actual Nazis in real life and wore women's underwear while doing it. Today's average degenerate couldn't hold a candle to the badassery that was Ed Wood.
I don't think Wood was trying to troon out at all, he said it multiple times, he just felt more comfortable in angora and womens underwear. Everything else about him was completely "normal" for a male of that time period, except his obsession with making shitty movies. Glen or Glenda could probably be interpreted as either way, but iirc the only person out of Wood's crew who wanted a sex change was Bunny Brecknridge.
I love that show, and I'm surprised anyone else remembers it.
True, but if any show could play to Burton's strengths, it's The Addams Family. I don't see him trying to pull the "Current Year" woke stuff unless he's strong-armed by dangerhair dykes or creepy soy beardos at the studio.
Dark Shadows was campy and seemed like it'd fit Tim Burton but I think the big problem there was that the original show wasn't originally meant to be campy and goofball like The Addams Family was. The Addams Family was intended as a comedy from the get-go.
I actually enjoyed the Dark Shadows movie. I've never seen the show it was based on is probably why.

I've seen a few seasons of the tv show. It was dark and brooding, gothic. The color palette was mostly browns. Everything was quite serious and mysterious, but campy in the sense it had the 70's ascetic hair, clothes, etc. mixed in with this Victorian setting. The film from what I remember was too blue, bright in a way, too fast, a little too sassy, too modern. While the original was in the 60's and 70's, aside from the hair, makeup and clothes, you would have no idea of the date. It was sort of timeless moodiness, slow, atmospheric, mysterious, yet with constant cliffhangers. Really sucks you in. Aside from over the top acting and technically sort of the same characters and premise, they are night and day. If I ignore the fact that the film is supposed to be Dark Shadows, then to me, it's not bad.
I enjoyed the movie because it felt very.. Addams Family-esque in a way which is ironic considering this thread and the content. It was sassy without being overbearing and I generally enjoy Johnny Depp as he has a great range (even if he has been slumming it the past decade). I already really liked the musical selection in that movie but that's neither here nor there. I might check out the actual show when I have time though.
Cant they just leave that IP alone?
Considering everything Tim Burton has done was basically ripping off The Addams Family, may as well just give him the fucking IP already.
