Thoughts on Wednesday Season 2:
- It felt like Gomez was just. There. Just to be there? They really underutilized him.
- Whoever wrote this show has serious mommy issues because literally every other character has mommy issues from Tyler to Enid to Bianca to Wednesday to Morticia. I’m sure the list will only expand.
- why are we using Bianca like an errand girl?? Stop making her be forced to use her powers when she doesn’t want to. I beg of thee.
- I absolutely HATE that they turned Enid into a literal ghoster and a cheater because she was “too afraid” to hurt Ajax’s feelings by breaking up with him. And when she finally broke up with him (after he had to chase her down and ask her out right about it) she basically told him that she only settled for him because she was insecure? (If I were Ajax, I would’ve rather had the cliche “it’s not you it’s me” because that would’ve hurt a lot fucking less) And she kept saying he “fell for the old her” but the problem is, she never allowed him to meet the “new her” it seems. It seems like she wolfed out and then immediately kicked him to the curb once school ended but just didn’t tell him. She also told him “I just didn’t expect things between me and Bruno to heat up so fast”? Like girl, y’all shouldn’t have been anywhere near a heat source until you ended things with Ajax.
[I’ve seen posts defending her behavior this season because she is a teenage girl who desperately wants to fit in. As someone who has been a teenage girl who was desperate to fit in and also broke up with plenty of guys who were very nice but my feelings about them had changed: I had, and always have had, a hard stance on 1) cheating (you don’t do it) and 2) leading people on (you don’t do it). Like, I wanted Wenclair to happen at some point, but now that they’ve established that Enid has a history of being a cheater, I don’t want them to touch it until they fix it somehow. We DON’T need that type of bi representation especially with the shitty stereotype that bi people are cheaters by nature or that they cheat more than others who aren’t bi. It fucking sucks.
She didn’t want to “hurt his feelings” by breaking up with him, but flirting with another guy in front of him while he still thinks they’re together is somehow better? Who TF wrote Enid’s character this season? I hope it changes real fucking fast because that shit was inexcusable. It would’ve been at least a little better if she had gotten literally any consequences or blow-back from it - but all she got was being mildly uncomfortable when Ajax confronted her. Didn’t really feel like she learned anything from the situation or had any real motivation to grow from it? Idk. Felt weird and icky to me.
In my experience, if you don’t want to break up with someone because it will “hurt their feelings” and you continue to just ghost and cheat as a result, then you never actually cared about hurting the person. You just are afraid of having to look them in the face when you do it.]
- over all it wasn’t bad but fuck man - perhaps the “death of Enid” vision is more so because the Enid I knew and loved fucking died. I hope they fucking revive her.
Side note: I see a lot of reactors saying “But Wednesday’s visions are always right” when anyone in the show brings up that visions are unpredictable. Wednesday has 2 distinct types of visions: 1) visions where she is not present, she is only “seeing” what happened/will happen and 2) visions where she is present and someone talks to her. In my opinion, I think her reliable visions come from the first type of vision. They are factual - not up to interpretation - just snippets of what were/will be. The second type of vision are more unreliable because they rely on Wednesday’s interpretation of them. The vision she has of Enid’s gravestone where Enid tells her it’s “her fault” land in the second type vision category, so it could be completely unreliable for all we know. She could just be afraid of losing Enid because Enid is her first friend and her visions are feeding off of that emotion.
