Ricci’s performance as Thornhill was no exception.
Samantha Graves ( Collider) called Ricci “a brilliant actress” and thought her villain arc in the show is the “best part” about “Wednesday.” She wrote: “Ricci exceeds well at playing intense and wacky characters (Misty Quigley anyone?), so to see her step into a similar role here is brilliant, and she does it masterfully.” She continued: “Perhaps what made the twist and ultimate reveal work so well is how good Ricci is at building her characters and her own magnetic charm that makes everyone she plays have a likability about them. Ricci shows she can play the sweet and sour just as well as the other and again proves she is an accomplished actress. Then, Ricci has the time of her life playing the villainous and vicious Laurel. As Marilyn, Ricci is colorful and quirky and shines in contrast to the darkness and dinginess of Nevermore. Ricci excels in what is essentially a dual role. Laurel is eventually successful in her endeavor, killing Gwendoline Christie‘s Principal Weems in the process, but is later defeated by Wednesday and Enid. It was Laurel who manipulated Tyler ( Hunter Doohan) into killing his victims, which was part of her scheme to revive Joseph and get rid of all outcasts. Ricci’s Marilyn was revealed to be Laurel Gates, a descendant of Joseph Crackstone. By the season finale, Ricci was a core part of the show’s runaway success. But as the series went on, it became clear that the show, which was directed in part by Tim Burton, was intent on putting Ricci’s acting talents to good use. At first, it seemed like Marilyn would be a neat little cameo-like role for Ricci that would satisfy fans of the original movies. Ricci plays Marilyn Thornhill - Nevermore Academy’s science teacher and Wednesday’s dorm mother. The comedy series sees Wednesday enrolling at Nevermore Academy. Instead, that role went to Jenna Ortega, who is re-defining the character, now age 16, with her uber-popular performance. Three decades later, she returned to the world of “The Addams Family” in Netflix’s “Wednesday “- but not as Wednesday Addams. Ricci reprised the role in 1993’s “Addams Family Values,” where she solidified her take on the character, who was 12-13 years old in the movies, as the defining one. Christina Ricci came to fame at just 10 years of age when she took on the role of Wednesday Addams in 1991’s “The Addams Family.” She gave the character a deadpan aura and the actress is still best-known for this sardonic wit.
