So I decided to do a re watch in B&W. I enjoyed it, didn't miss the colour. Got me thinking since Original series was in B&W then maybe this will work.

Some areas I found had more detail visible, Added to the spooky areas, Specific things not visible like the Purple/Green smoke, but I enjoyed it, I do recommend trying it.

Look, I get it. I do. I get that she’s a teen going through a massive life change, and her "wolfing out" is a metaphor for puberty.

But I found Enid just as annoying watching Season 2 as I did last year. ​

The way the show handles her relationships is wild, and the double standards are glaring. ​ She ghosts Ajax for an entire summer, actively dodges him back at school and he has to be the one to track her down just to officially break up. ​

She essentially cheats on and leaves Ajax for Bruno, and then has the nerve to get upset at Bruno for hiding things. But not that long before was flirting shamelessly with him right in front of Ajax. ​ By the end of the season, Ajax goes to Enid acting like he needs to apologize for being distant as if Enid didn't ghost him, cheat on him, and force him to initiate the breakup.

If Ajax pulled that stunt, he would have rightfully been treated like public enemy number one. Instead, Enid gets framed as the victim? ​Come on. A huge emotional driving point of the season is Wednesday desperately trying to keep Enid from dying, meaning we're supposed to care about her. But honestly? I just felt annoyed every time she was on screen. ​

​As much as I disliked S2 overall, I will give credit where it's due. What I do like is that they actually gave Ajax a personality outside of Enid. I felt like Ajax only served as Enid's love interest in season one. Whearas in the new season, he had more to do. In Season 1, he did not go on their date, accidentally stoning himself and then didn't explain himself, and left Enid to dig for answers in episode 4. But in Season 2, he actually made a genuine effort to communicate and talk things through. Which honestly just highlights what a massive hypocrite Enid is.

​She was (rightfully) hurt when Ajax avoided her and didn't explain himself... but she gets a pass for doing the exact same thing to him all summer. ​

She was hurt when Bruno hid things from her... but she gets a pass for cheating on Ajax with him. ​Did anyone else find her completely insufferable this season, or is it just me?

I really love this whole episode, but this scene is one of my favorites. The way he looked at her, as she was walking down the staircase. The way him calling her beautiful made her speechless and shy. The slow progression, of Wednesday falling in love with Tyler, is something so special to see. I love them so much. 😭❤️‍🩹

Last year, Season 2 was a huge miss for me. I found the first half to be very boring, and although the second half was a bit easier to enjoy, the whole season was ultimately a letdown. Which sucks to say because I love season one.

But I’m a firm believer in second chances, so I wanted to give it some time, revisit the show, and see how I felt. I was hoping maybe I wasn't in the right mood. Maybe because I was obsessing over Wicked at the time because of the first film and was eagerly waiting for part 2, maybe I was too deep into my new obsession to get into Wednesday season 2. Maybe I needed to wait longer to get through my Wicked excitement to chill & get into season 2.
​

A few days ago, I binged Season 1 (took me about 3 days), and I still love it. It’s simple, has so much charm, and completely reminded me why I fell in love with the show in the first place and why I go back to rewatch it. ​

As soon as I finished Season 1 today, I jumped right back into Season 2 and unfortunately, my thoughts haven't reallly changed. I got super bored and stopped right as episode 3 started. I want to love it so badly, but I just don't.

​My main issues? The coloring feels way too clean. Its odd to look at sometimes and out of place. The season feels way too patched with numerous characters, to the point where Wednesday often feels like a side character in her own show. ​Yes, in Season 1 you followed Bianca, Enid, Ajax, Weems, Xavier, Tyler, and a few others, but it never felt overwhelming and you got to get to know each character while reminding you who the show is about.

Confession: I actually avoided the show when it first came out in late 2022 because the dance scene was everywhere, I wanted the hype to die down before giving it a shot. And even when I gave it a shot in late December just to give in to my curiosity it was still everywhere.

But when I finally did watch it, I fell completely in love with the charm and the story.) ​Sadly, none of the elements I loved in Season 1 seem to be in Season 2. I’m still going to ride it out and hope it clicks for me bit by bit, but so far, it's a no-go. But I want to love it. I don't wanna join in on the hate because its popular to dog on it. There were moments I liked & I found the Freaky Friday vibe episode to be very entertaining. But other than one episode and a few moments that I remember, I don't have anything good to say.

But I did win that contest thingy and got a free t-shirt, stickers & an acceptance to Nevermore. Those were fun to have & I still have them. ​

If you enjoy Season 2, that's totally fine! We should have open discussions and respect each other's opinions. I honestly wish I loved it. I totally envy the Season 2 fans right now but I'm really struggling to find the will to continue.

Weyler will always give me the biggest buzz.

I watched season 1 when it was initially released in 2022, and I absolutely loved it. I loved the chatacters, the storyline, the development, and even the romance.

By the time season 2 got released though, I felt as if the quality really.. declined. I couldn’t really see Tim Burton’s vision anymore. I only watched the first two episodes of season 2 and I simply couldn’t bear to watch any more.

Season 2 felt so influenced. It was as if the writers just ignored everything from season 1’s storyline and simply focused on what the fans are looking for. Every scene felt as if it were fan service and the creators simply want edits to be made of these scenes. What made season 1 iconic was that every scene had such beautiful gothic authenticity. Season 2 had none of that.

Another thing that bothers me a lot is the ship between Wednesday and Tyler. I obviously haven’t watched the second season but I’ve seen the scenes of all the terrible things he does to Wednesday and her family. I am afraid that the fans see this as “dark romance”, whereas it is simply abuse. Dark romance is the kind of romance that Gomez and Morticia have, which isn’t abuse.

I don’t think that I am looking for any ships for Wednesday, but if I had to pick, I would pick Enid for her. Since Enid truly understands what kind of a person Wednesday is, and also gets along with the rest of the Addams family, I think she would make the ideal love interest for Wednesday.

So I was doing some investigating on the ashford studios set (no character shipping over here) and I noticed that google earth there’s 3 pictures in the last 4 years one being in 2022 and the other 2 being Apr 24th and 29th 5 days apart makes me think that they were trying to hide it they didn’t update it in 4 years but take another picture 5 days after I know this has to do with s3 I’m gonna keep investigating
