I don’t think you can do much better than Raul Julia, the actor from the 90s movies, so I guess it makes sense to try something different.

They are not “trying something different” so much as being truthful to the original comics.

The same was said about a John Astin. The casting is a little weird, no doubt. Everyone always says “it’s like the New Yorker cartoons”, and sure it is, but I mean Gomez has evolved massively as a character since then.

Shit, just look at how much Wednesday has changed from the cartoons and even the old tv show. They’re basing her off the movies for sure.
