“For the record, I don’t believe I’m better than everyone else. Just that I’m better than you.”

From: Wednesday

Genre: Television

Who said it?: Wednesday Addams

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the Netflix supernatural comedy/mystery show, Wednesday. Developed by Tim Burton and based on the Addams Family franchise of comics, movies and television shows, this new TV show follows Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega) transfers to Nevermore Academy, a school for monsters and outcasts. While at the school, Wednesday discovers she has psychic powers and must try to solve a couple of mysteries all the while trying to navigate the weird social structure of the school itself.

The quote comes from the episode “Woe is the Loneliest Number“. Wednesday joins a boat race in the hopes of putting Nevermore Academy’s queen bee, Bianca Barclay (played by Joy Sunday), in her place. Before they start the race, Bianca tries to insult Wednesday regarding her place in the school’s hierarchy. Wednesday rebuffs the insult and references Bianca’s insecurities towards Wednesday by delivering the quote.

Geek wisdom: There are always going to be people who are going to be better than you at some things. The good thing is the opposite is also true: you are going to be better at other things than these same people.

Most of my childhood (and adult life) was spent doing a lot of geeky stuff: watching TV, playing video games and going to the movies. To some, it may have been a waste of time. Well, to me, it has made me what I am today... a geeky adult. I actually write for a couple of blogs, namely: geekwisdom.wordpress.com 3rdworldgeeks.com gamemoir.com Please check them out!
