Since its launch, the new Netflix series Wednesday has received a lot of attention. It is based on Addams Family’s beloved franchise. People are talking about a pool scene that features piranhas being dropped into a pool. The title character of the supernatural comedy horror series is Jenna Ortega. Catherine Zeta Jones stars as Morticia, while Luis Guzman plays Gomez Addams.
The Addams Family franchise was originally a series single-panel cartoons created by Charles Addams and published in The New Yorker in 1930s. With the 1964 television series, featuring John Astin & Carolyn Jones, The Addams family gained wide popularity. It ran for two seasons on ABC.
The Addams Family was adapted into many films over the years, including the 1991 blockbuster movie, starring Anjelica Hston as Morticia, and Raul Julia playing Gomez. There have also been two sequels and animated films. Wednesday’s new Netflix series is a continuation to the original series.
A scene at a well-known swimming pool is one of the highlights of the new series. Pugsley, played by Isaac Ordonez, is being bullied at school and Wednesday begins the series with her revenge. The boys are practicing water polo. She releases two bags stuffed with piranhas in this scene. The scene is absurd and outrageous, but it’s also an excellent example of dark humor that the Addams family is famous for.
Scary Pool Scene That’s Too Exaggerated For Some
We love pools on TV and in movies, but this scene will rekindle any childhood fears. Although the scene was consistent with the Addams family’s style of acting, some feel it was too intense, especially considering that the show targets a wide audience of teens.
Feedback from Redditors
If the whole thing was not so one-sided, I would be okay with it being used for laughter or as a gratifying revenge for a bully. This wouldn’t work if the genders were reversed. Even more so if the victim was a male against a woman. Redditor Deadlocked02 stated that there are very few productions in which a male character beats a female character as revenge for something they did.
“This isn’t funny. Redditor Fum repeated the statement, “The crime of castration cannot be laughed at.”
“The Addams family movie depicts the children getting ready to electrocute Fester, and they don’t give any indication that he would survive. Reddit user BitsAndBobs304 stated that they have always involved extreme violence out-of-place.
Did They Release Piranha into a Swimming Pool?
Snopes is a great place to check this information. It is obvious that the answer is no. We know that the entire scene was CGI, and for several reasons.
Piranhas are a highly predatory fish. They are well-known for their sharp teeth, powerful jaws and ability to rip apart prey. Although they don’t usually attack humans, they can become aggressive towards them if they are threatened or provoked. It would be a mistake to ask any actor to swim with piranhas.
There are many logistical challenges to overcome in order for such a scene to become a reality in real life, in addition to the dangers of swimming with piranhas. Piranhas, for example, are native to South America’s Amazon River basin. Even if it was possible to transport piranhas from their home to filming locations, it would not be easy to keep them in a pool with proper water quality and temperature to ensure their survival.
The Wednesday scene shows a large number piranhas swimming in a small pool. This would be impossible in real life because of their water quality and space requirements. A pool this large would not be capable of supporting enough piranhas to make the scene in the show.

Is The Pool Scene Filmed Where?
Although it may surprise some, the scene in the swimming pool with the piranhas took place in Bucharest, Romania. Bazinul de Inot Dinamo, Universitatea Politehnica’s pool, was used in the series as a substitute for Nancy Reagan High School.
Bazinul De Inot Dinamo is also known as Dinamo Swimming Pool. It has been used in many notable productions. Bazinul de Inot Dinamo was used to film the scene of the swimming pool in Wednesday’s hit Netflix series.
The new Netflix series Wednesday, which is set to air on Wednesday, September 10, 2018, is a welcome addition for the Addams family franchise. It will be a huge hit with viewers of the original series as well as fans of the films and series. This series is full of bizarre and unexpected moments that are so fun to watch.
