Wednesday Addams May Finally Show Emotion in Season 2 – And Fans Are Ready
For months,viewers have passionately requested a significant shift in Jenna Ortega’s portrayal of Wednesday Addams: a display of genuine emotion. It appears Netflix is listening, and the upcoming episodes of Wednesday may finally deliver the emotional depth fans crave.The first season deliberately established Wednesday as emotionally stoic, famously declaring she would never cry again after the loss of her pet scorpion, Nero. This created a compelling character, but also left many wanting to see a crack in her carefully constructed facade. Now, season two is building anticipation around a potentially devastating event – the possible death of Wednesday’s best friend, Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers).
The Demand for Vulnerability
Social media is buzzing with speculation and desire for a powerful emotional moment. Here’s what fans are hoping to see:
A complete emotional breakdown: Many want Ortega to portray Wednesday ”entirely losing it,” breaking down and revealing her inner feelings.
Visible defeat: Viewers are eager to witness Wednesday displaying vulnerability, with a look of defeat and a raw outpouring of emotion.
Proof of deep connection: Ultimately, fans want to see Wednesday’s affection for Enid demonstrably expressed through her reaction to a potential loss.
One frustrated fan on X (formerly Twitter) articulated the sentiment, noting that Wednesday has only shown significant emotion once before.This highlights the rarity – and thus potential impact – of such a moment.
The Body-Swap Theory & Official Denials
A behind-the-scenes image showing a character resembling Wednesday looking visibly distressed fueled further speculation. However, this sparked a popular theory: a body-swap storyline between Wednesday and Enid.
Both Ortega and Myers addressed the rumors at a recent press conference.Ortega firmly dismissed the idea, stating a body-swap “would be a crime” and “wouldn’t go down well.” Myers echoed this sentiment, expressing her preference for continuing to play Enid.
Consequently, fans are now hoping the intriguing image depicts a genuine emotional response from Wednesday herself. Many believe a body-swap would detract from the emotional weight of the situation. They want to see Wednesday genuinely grieve, demonstrating the depth of her care for Enid.
What to Expect from Season 2
The final four episodes of Wednesday season two arrive on September 3rd, nearly two years after the show’s initial success. While The Independent‘s review described the season as “frightfully formulaic,” the potential for a significant emotional arc for Wednesday remains a major draw.
Ultimately, the question isn’t just if Wednesday will show emotion, but how* Ortega will deliver that pivotal moment. You can expect a season that tests the boundaries of Wednesday’s character and potentially unlocks a new layer of depth for this iconic figure.
