I just know Wednesday s2 is gonna blow (and not in a good way lol)

This be the one, see the previous Anon.

S2 is going to be shitty in terms of continuity and bloated cast. I'm sure they'll ✨hyde✨ the big names, but I think Ortega said that it would be more episodic than what it was this time around, that each episode is "like a movie". Which irritates me because that's kind of what S1 was. Each ep had a theme of some sort, leading up to the finale. Its episodes already being cinematic is the treat that makes the show decent.

Someone in Asks asked me about my calling Ortega dumb, but

The Addams Family IS lighthearted. It's comedy. It's satire. The whole point is that it ISN'T too dark, and that its visual joke-violence doesn't turn into gratuitous gore.

(My answers are getting long these days...)

She says it's great to ditch romantic interest, which means no romance for the main character in a teen coming-of-age show. Uhm. Ricci's Wednesday was totally into Joel (and the musical Wednesday had Lucas/that was the central plot point to the musical), and this whole "let's cut out the love/romance/sex!" is just contributing more to Purity Culture and making young adolescents more confused and isolated/afraid to DO anything, even if it's a simple date with no physicality. Remember what I said yesterday? Fucking VIOLENCE is okay, yet SEX is not? *flicks Gizmo on her stupid sunglasses*

I fucking hate that line of thought for anything/everything. Think about it...if we behaved more like bonobos than chimps (because humans behave like goddamn chimpanzees). Chimp conflict includes violence and tearing of limbs. Bonobos settle conflict by having sex.

I need my Make Love Not War pin back, especially now.

Romance for Wednesday was also a central conflict; teen years is when you start to bloom and fuck around. At least it used to be. It was one of the things she was supposed to learn how to navigate, given what her parents said, though she was terrified of becoming her parents (as I stated in my pinned post about Wednesday mimicking Gomez romantically).

They are bringing ALL the elements of that central struggle back for S2 except for Percy White/Xavier. It's going to be fucked, however they write him off.

Wednesday needs more of what we loved from both the TV series and the 90s movies. Does that include cute romance? Yes, yes it does. I suspect they might fill that void with Enjax.

Am I tryna say I want to see more Euphoria in this, no. But something sweet like a sweet coupling/banter, especially during these godawful times, would be nice.

I don't care for gratuitous violence or gore, but yes I do want to see more of the vampires and gorgons. It's real cute that she mentions the fucking vampires when they didn't ask Naomi back (say what you will about her IG post, her April '24 podcast says more about "recently" losing something big and crying about it). Scheduling/"not much progression with Yoko's journey" my ass. Do you know what Naomi was doing this past summer when W2 was filming? Traveling. She was posting a lot of travel stories throughout the time they were all filming.

So yeah. I have little faith in this given the mess with PHW getting kicked. From a writer's perspective, and thinking about M&G's Bible for the show, I would be really pissed if one of my main characters was suddenly gone. Think about that for a second. You have a vision for what your show is like, you have your characters all plotted out, etc. AND the show does amazingly well in its first month ...and then a bunch of little cunts come along and scream (false) RAPE! allegations, uncovering some unsavory comments that no one gave a shit about until the cunts screamed and now your company/boss is telling you that they need to drop the actor/character. Say what?

Beh. While I disagree with Ortega about infusing more horror and shoving the romance aside for Wednesday, I really think the Wenclairs need to look at this again: Ortega is so put off by what y'all did that she is NOT going to reward your shitty behavior by laying any foundations for Wenclair in S2 for S3 (if there IS a S3). And I think she realizes that if Wednesday does have another male love interest that y'all will fuck with him too, so we get NOTHING. 😭

I can't imagine what Millar & Gough think about this and about the Wenclairs who did this and who celebrate it/brag about doing it. These Wenclairs have made the cast (and writers) unhappy because they all get wet for Ortega/Myers. It's fucking grotesque, and it's gone and made the show even more inconsistent than it already is. They — full on adults, not just teens, some of these fucking turds are in their late 20s and 30s — helped ruin the show that they purport to love for selfish fucking parasocial reasons.

Because let's face it...one of the main cast whose arc was meant to be for/towards Wednesday suddenly gone for S2 ruins things. We could have seen more character development of Xavier, and the strife with his father (as well as expanded use of his powers...he is telekinetic like Rowan, he can more inanimate drawings, etc.). Y'all can say you hate Xavier and that he's "creepy" for drawing/painting Wednesday, but that's normal tortured artist behavior. Look at the "creepy" fucking shit you all do with your drawings. Half of you can't draw Enid for shit/she ends up looking more masculine than she is (she is a girly fucking girl, she looks like a pixy/elf).

I wanted to see more telekinesis and visions.

And speaking of visions, what's in store for Wednesday's? I really think that the season should've ended with Wednesday having a vision of Tyler escaping, rather than how it was written/filmed. That would've kept the focus on Wednesday/not Tyler. But that's just me. I hope they keep her visions relevant in S2, and it would be nice if another power did show up. I mean, ABW has 4 LOL But the Seers (Xavier and Rowan) seem to have two powers/features to their status as Seer — visions and telekinesis. So why the Hell isn't Wednesday telekinetic?

I hate this show. 🫠
