My Unpopular Opinion On Wednesday Season 2:

Regarding Wednesday, the biggest problem is that the series has no consistency whatsoever.

In the first season, the group was super angry about Wednesday torturing Tyler, but in the second season everyone is happy that the principal dies? Like, what? Another point, Tyler is incredibly tiresome, just like Thornhill he should have been taken out of the picture already, he's not complex, he's just an antagonist character with a sad past, he never did anything good, he never felt guilty for what he did, season 2 was basically the plot of the first, just in a different way... Agnes is a filler character, with the objective of making people stop shipping the gay couple, in the same way that was done in Supernatural putting Amara to have "something" with Dean, they say that the series is about female friendship, but then Netflix releases the novel of season 1 and there it is explicit that she likes Enid, more than friendship, that's what LGBTs are for, for them to make money...

At the end of season 1 Tyler goes after Wednesday to kill her and he himself says: Thornhill said you were dead...

Tyler hated her, even without Following the master's orders, he wanted to see her dead.

And out of nowhere in season 2, he has an obsession with her? Where did that come from? Notice that I said obsession, not love. I watched the movie Obsession 2026, and Tyler is basically Bear with a monster inside him. In the same way that Tyler and Wednesday, Bear/Tyler doesn't love Nikki/Wednesday, they love the idea, the version they created of these women in their heads, which were created to fill the void they feel. They don't respect the autonomy or right to choose of these women because, for them, they are not human beings, they are dolls, objects that have to satisfy their desires.

Anyone with a minimally functioning brain watching season 1 can see that Wednesday's partner would be Xavier, but due to the actor's controversies, he left. However, since the writers of this series are misogynistic, they prefer to pair Wednesday with a boy who only sees her as an object to fill the void inside him rather than her being happy alone or with the girl who sacrificed her own humanity to ensure Wednesday's survival.

Yes, their writing is quite misogynistic, because when Tyler suffers, it's shown on screen for minutes, but when Wednesday suffers, it's downplayed. The first boy Wednesday opened up to romantically, the one she gave a chance to, was her first kiss. Why isn't this trauma explored? Wednesday is dehumanized as a woman, as a victim, and as a person. She's seen only as a doll without feelings that can be tossed from one side to the other.

And the series itself implies that Tyler is already of legal age, which makes everything worse, because why would an 18/19-year-old guy be after a 16-year-old girl?

The Addams Family was created as a critique of the white, traditional, Christian American family. They are the opposite of a traditional family, but they love and respect each other. In the movies, the Addams are canonical serial killers, and look at the way Gomez treated Morticia? Because it's part of the critique and satire, the women of that time suffered domestic violence, and Gomez, being the opposite, does the opposite, he treats his wife like a queen and she treats him like a king. Honestly, they are destroying what the Addams Family represents with this "romance" story, in quotes, between Tyler and Wednesday leaves me quite disappointed. Like, I watched the movies and I was inspired by Gomez's chivalry and I thought: when I have a woman, I will love her that way, I will honor her...

Besides, these writers seem to have problems, they seem like they didn't produce their own series, they even said that Tyler was the thing Wednesday came to love the most in season 2, ignoring Enid and the Addams Family that Wednesday was fighting to protect, her friends.

In my opinion, they didn't want to create an Addams Family series, they wanted to create a supernatural series and gave it the name Addams to get an audience.

They even lied saying that the Addams Family doesn't have its own lore, when they do, if you don't want to use it, okay?

But don't be a liar.

And the arguments of this fandom are worse, they distort absolutely everything that's in the series, taking everything literally to validate their ship. Sometimes I watch a movie and it's very expository and I feel uncomfortable, because it's practically looking the viewer in the face and calling them stupid.

But seeing these fandoms, I realize it's necessary, society is getting dumber, people don't know how to interpret anything anymore, people don't want to think anymore, they don't want to develop critical thinking, the number of people I've seen saying: "Oh, but the writers confirmed this, it doesn't matter, okay?" Because that's not what was shown in the series. In public relations, you learn that if you wanted to convey a message and people understood it differently, it's because something went wrong in your communication.

Communication, people, the text interpretation that we learn in school is also for this.

There's a phrase I really like that says: society became digital before it became literate. Which is true.

It's incredible the dark places that heterosexual, white, and cisgender people need to go to in order to create a "forbidden" romance since they are in a position of privilege.

"Oh, but it's dark romance."

I don't like dark romance, but dark romance is when you do bad things to ensure the well-being of your partner, or someone with trauma who lives a healthy relationship with someone, or two traumatized people who take care of each other and even with their problems manage to live a healthy relationship, etc.

From the moment there is aggression between partners, it is already an abusive relationship.

"But the Addams Family tortures each other"

Yes, because they are sadomasochistic and there is a key word "consent." If I slap my girlfriend in , I would be committing assault, but if she and I have a conversation about fetishes and BDSM and she authorizes it, I can have sexual relations with her and slap her because there is consent.

I think it's very shameless of Hunter (Tyler's actor) when he was asked what he thinks of the things Tyler did for Wednesday and he says it's roleplay, something Addams-like? He clearly doesn't know the Addams Family, and he doesn't have an argument. Is this the kind of message he sends to his teenage fans? A 30-year-old man?

I saw people talking about the fact that he's gay, people, he's still a man, okay?

We need more actors like Penn Bradley who influence their audience positively and openly talk about what their character is like, and don't justify their actions with trauma.

We can understand a character and their traumas and not excuse their actions.

When a male character is bad, he's complex, but when it's a female character, she's a slut, a whore, a prostitute, a bitch.

People love Tyler and hate his mother, who is just as traumatized.

It's worth remembering that Tyler was already a bad person before the events of season 1, since he bullied others. The Tyler of season 1 is nothing more than a social mask that Tyler used, hiding the anger and frustration inside him... in season 2 he is who he truly is.

Just a little rant.

Sorry for the long text.

I heard some people commenting that the entire series had to be rewritten because of Percy's departure. And if that's true, it only proves my theory that Xavier was Wednesday's official love interest, not Tyler, the classic love triangle, where the girl is with a boy, kisses him, then discovers he was the villain and ends up with the second option. If the series had to be completely rewritten, Xavier would be Wednesday's love interest and would have an important role in the season's plot. There would still be options, they could hire another actor to play Xavier, or create another love interest, or leave Wednesday alone... It's almost comical that a series about outcasts, which we know is a metaphor for marginalized people in society, like the X-Men for example, doesn't have any LGBT characters? I've seen people using arguments about Yoko and Divina or Eugene's mothers, even though they barely appear in the series? Why can a heterosexual character get a lot of screen time, but LGBT people, why do LGBT people have to be sidelined? Even Bridgerton, which is a series set in the 1800s, has a sapphic couple as protagonists, and a series set in the present day can't have one? Then I remember that it was a series written by two old white men, probably heterosexual and probably cisgender. I did some research on reviews from some websites and most of them were saying that it was time to leave this ex-boyfriend thing behind and focus on Enid's friendship and Wednesday, for example.

Besides the fact that the series said it would focus more on horror in season 2, etc., the only thing different for me was the gore. Even the dialogues still sound childish. If we take away the blood and violence, it's practically a Disney Channel series (especially with the questionable CGI). And that body swap, for God's sake, it seems like they don't know the audience they want to reach. As a teenager, watching season 2 was torture, but I had to watch it to form an opinion.

The idea was good, the Addams as anti-heroes, however... Season 2 seems to have been written haphazardly.

I can feel bad for Tyler, but I can't excuse his wrongdoings... other people aren't to blame for his trauma...
