People Aren’t Too Happy About How Oscar Isaac’s Character Looks In ‘The Addams Family’ Trailer

On Tuesday, MGM released the first trailer for its upcoming animated adaptation of The Addams Family, which was originally a classic television series and, later, two theatrical films starring Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston. The latest incarnation of the property stars Oscar Isaac and Charlize Theron as Gomez and Morticia Addams, the leaders of the sweetly dark and morbid Addams family. However, it seems that many of Isaac’s fans online aren’t too keen on his character’s look in the film. Why Obviously, because Isaac is hot.

Aside from the actor’s dance routine in Ex Machina, short clips of him smilingly, being suave or both populate the annals of Giphy’s legion of Oscar Isaac GIFs. To deny the good looks of the man who brought Poe Dameron to life in the latest Star Wars trilogy to life would be to deny oneself, really. Even so, it seems that many of the most prominent reactions to The Addams Family‘s first trailer were to highlight the fact that, by using only Isaac’s voice for the character of Gomez Addams, fans were being robbed blindly.

To be honest, Isaac’s fans do have a point. As many of them pointed out, his look in 2011’s Sucker Punch was practically a dead-ringer for a young Gomez:

And they still went with THIS for his debut as Gomez Addams

Otherwise, their complaints were pretty much the same (and justifiably so). Besides, if you’re going to sexualize Elastigirl in Incredibles 2…

I wish the new Addams Family movie was live action just so we could SEE Oscar Isaac as Gomez Addams. pic.twitter.com/ZNmMRxjMQK

If Oscar Isaac and Charlize Theron truly love us and want us to be happy they will do every junket and red carpet in full Addams cosplay and they will never leave each other's sides ever the entire time

casting oscar isaac as gomez and then not making it live action was one thing but ffs the least they could’ve done was make him a hot cartoon https://t.co/xoC2OCyRsq

#AddamsFamily looks cute but not great. I'm sure I'll be very in the mood for it come October. BUT. You don't cast OSCAR ISAAC as Gomez, then make him just the VOICE of Gomez, then make that Gomez UGLY. I don't care if it's Charles Addams inspired!https://t.co/Xy1vWcCAOw
