Regardless of what they do with Weyler in season 3, Wednesday’s relationship with Enid will continue to be her most impactful and meaningful one. I care more about that than about if Wenclair ever becomes romantic. There’s really no comparing the level of devotion and care between Wednesday and Enid with Wednesday and Tyler. (Even platonically) That’s why some people resort to “why can’t girls be friends?” It’s because they know that based on what is on screen, one relationship stands out as the emotional heart of the show and the catalyst for Wednesday’s positive growth.

why is weyler becoming so popular on the main Wednesday sub??? Now I'm seeing ppl say Wednesday still loves Tyler

[spoonstra]

I'm just gonna put this out there, but I genuinely do not care if the writers say that Wednesday and Enid's relationship is a sisterhood. These are two men; they don't know what they're talking about because they've never experienced sisterhood, and they can never experience it. And so far, while Jenna and Emma emphasize friendship between Wednesday and Enid, they have never called it a sisterhood, and they both have actual sisters. I also have a sister, and my relationship with her is not at all reflected in how Wednesday and Enid interact

Why did they gigachad Enid's werewolf design ts is hilarious

[spoonstra]

Please please please give us Feral Enid in season 3. It would be such a missed opportunity if they don't

[spoonstra]

We have Enid proving her devotion to Wednesday left and right and yet some ppl still want to obsess over Tyler looking vaguely conflicted as she was being murdered. Tyler was ultimately okay with Wednesday dying so long as it served him (saving his mother and being free), meanwhile Enid chooses to sacrifice her humanity, future, and live out her greatest fear to save Wednesday.

What a weird to choice to have part two focus so much on the Night-Galpin family while simultaneously sidelining Tyler. He's not even interesting anymore because they're just writing him as a constant victim. He had capability for independent thought now and yet he was still completely passive and lacking in agency. It’s boring. I'm also just so over Hydes too, I really hope they don't make the Hyde camp with Capri a big focus of s3. It’s actually so disappointing that they gave that plotline to Capri because I just can't get excited about a Hyde community. They should have had her join Wednesday to search for Enid, or even go off independently to do so in her own. I really hope the Hyde pack thing was just a delicate way of writing Tyler out of the story. (I'm going to be wrong but whatever)

I can't wait to see what ppl come up with to defend Weyler now.

[spoonstra]

rip to the omega Enid truthers out there

[spoonstra]

first thoughts after finishing part 2 is that I’m more excited for season 3 than I enjoyed season 2.

[spoonstra]

how i feel knowing jaeseulgi are in fact romantic, fulfilled all the kdrama tropes, and ended on a hopeful note

[spoonstra]

I think the reason I can’t ship Weyler is because it will never live up to the peak that was Villaneve. They’re everything that people want Weyler to be.

[spoonstra]

I want that one scene where Tyler is at the hospital dressed in scrubs waving menacingly at someone to be with Enid, but I know it’s going to be with Wednesday. But just imagine it, Enid is leaving Wednesday’s room after visiting her and she sees Tyler wave at her which freaks her out and then he disappears. It would be so peak.

[spoonstra]

Watching people say that Wednesday was so impacted about seeing Tyler chained up in episode 2 and that her monologue where she insults him was because she was heartbroken is genuinely hilarious. She was apathetic towards him at best, and the only reason she snapped like that is because he provoked her by threatening Enid. You know, the person she actually cares about. Any feelings Wednesday has left for Tyler are negative and not conducive to sympathy for him. Even Jenna has said this.

[spoonstra]

Here are my predictions for part 2 of Wednesday s2:

I am a firm believer in the body swap theory. It's happening. I hate that it's happening. I was so looking forward to Wenclair divorce 2.0 and Wednesday crashing out 😞

We wiil NOT be getting some angsty scene with Enid in mortal danger (so disappointing, I wanted this so bad).

I think Wednesday will change Enid's fate pretty early on, and instead an Addams will be in danger (half of the addams gravestone, Lady Gaga's character (I presume) saying that there will be a price to pay. )

The actor for Pugsley also said he had a scene where he was going shock someone to life but it was cut for budget reasons. He mentioned something about prosthetics, idk if Enid's werewolf form uses that so idk if that was her. Either way, if they cut a scene like that b/c of budget there goes my hope that they would have Enid die in ep 7 and they'd replace her heart with Slurp's clockwork heart to bring her back at the end of the season. It was an extremely unlikely thing to happen (like actually impossible and the logistics of it really wouldn't have made sense) but it would have been SO cool.

They're going to give Tyler a redemption arc somehow, and it's probably going to be badly executed. Nothing against Tyler, but in general, redemption arcs are written terribly (Zuko is a rare exception). Especially since they have so little time to properly develop it in 4 episodes. They'll probably go the route in which Hyde and Tyler are different, and that he's not in control of it. It's so boring and overdone, but whatever. I think I've accepted that there will never be an adaptation of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde where they actually get the duality of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde right.

Spoiler Alert: It's not dual personalities or dual psychological identities; it's about the complexity of human morality. Mr. Hyde was a separate social identity from Dr. Jekyll, but Jekyll is Hyde. He had full memories of the actions Mr. Hyde took, and he did so intentionally. Dr. Jekyll was a man with (unspecified) suppressed urges that weren't socially acceptable, and he wanted to indulge in them without tarnishing his good reputation. Mr. Hyde was a mask that he hid behind (🤯), and he was mostly in control of his transformations. When Dr. Jekyll unintentionally transforms into Mr. Hyde, it's a metaphor for his temptations consuming him as he continues to indulge. He created a negative behavior pattern that turned into an addiction. That loss of control of Mr. Hyde just represented a loss of control over his morality.

Impressive analysis. It's also unrelated to the narrow, specific claim I was initially making. I was not denying that the scene showed photos of the Galpin family or that the show wants viewers to think about Tyler's backstory. I made no references to the scene's impact on the audience. I was purely arguing about Wednesday's motivations. You're shifting away from Wednesday's diegetic motivation to the show's extradiegetic framing of the scene. I was correcting a misread of character motivation; you are talking about a thematic interpretation. These are entirely different levels of analysis. The only thing in your post that actually addresses my original post is: "Also Wednesday did previously say that she was looking for the person who k*lled sheriff Galpin and his partner. So she was not only investigating for Enid." This does not debunk my claim at all. Wednesday is quite literally actively looking for the person who killed Galpin, that is true. The reason she's pursuing that is because she believes it's connected to her vision of Enid's death. You're right about the action, but you're missing the motivational layer, which is what I was addressing to begin with. Wednesday isn't emotionally invested in Galpin's death; she's emotionally invested in Enid's safety.

Also:

Didn't they teach in university what the appeal to authority fallacy is?

I can’t believe I just saw someone say that they thought it seemed like during the bad moon rising sequence in episode 3, Wednesday was doing her investigation for Tyler in order to find his father’s killer. Insane levels of bias and delusion. It’s not like the show had her state multiple times that she’s doing it for Enid. Totally not.
