Elder Millenial here, I think you’re going to see more defensive posting like this because to us this is an obvious, if you put it most charitably, homage to The Addams Family, but if they don’t make inclusions like Morticia’s eyelighting or a random Thing cameo it’s gonna look like hack joke theft. Which is pretty natural at this stage.
It goes: Young person desiring to be funny obtains media from before they were born, probably is one in ten thousand in their age bracket to have seen it ever at all, repeats clever stuff, old people call it out and look old and grumbly.

I’m trying to be charitable over here, man 😅
Yeah no I get it. But I think if they don’t signal the reference at all then it’s just trying to be sneaky, lol.
