Summary
When watching athriller series likeYouor a creepy slasher movie, sometimes plot holes are unavoidable. to tell a complete story and make sure that all the pieces fit together, some little mistakes can slip by. Fans can usually overlook these as long as the TV show or film is entertaining enough.
But then there are plot hole that are surprising because they seem easy enough to explain. When watchingWednesday
season 1 onNetflix, fans found a few moments that don’t make a lot of sense. Although these didn’t take away anyone’s enjoyment of the popular and successful first season,there is one main thingWednesdayseason 2 can do to make sure there aren’t any glaring plot holesin the new episodes.
What Wednesday Plot Holes Have Fans Noticed?
Fans realized there are someWednesdayseason 1 plot holes aboutWednesday Addams’s fun and eerie boarding school Nevermoreand some of the main characters and they discussed these in aRedditthread. Redditor @Necessary_Ad_1232 asked:
“Why are there no other teachers ever shown in Nevermore ? This seems a bit weird.”
While this plot hole isn’t serious and doesn’t ruin the main plot ofWednesdayseason 1, it does seem strange not to see at least a few more teachers.Wednesdayseason 2 should have more cliquesand should also do a better job of showing Wednesday in a few different classes. This will flesh out her life at the boarding school instead of just focusing on one mean teacher.
Several fans also are confused aboutMarilyn Thornhill/Laurel Gates (Christina Ricci) andJoseph Crackstone’s actions inWednesdayseason 1.A Redditor wrote:
“I find the fact that Crackstone not instantly burning Thornhill for using magic and branding her as a witch unfaithful to how devoted he was to his mission.”
Since Crackstone is shown to be so powerful, it does seem odd that he wouldn’t punish Thornhill. Of course, that would ruin Thornhill’s presence as a villain in the first season of the Netflix show, so it makes sense that this was ignored. But it’s a fair point to bring up. If Crackstone and Gates are really supposed to be evil and terrifying, every part of their story should be logical.
Fans are also convinced that there is aplot hole aboutthe important character Sherrif Donovan Galpin(Jamie McShane) and his wife. Redditor @spettinatadentro thinks that Galpin should know Hyde Monstersince it’s part of his family history. The fan wrote:
“Also in episode 3, one would think that the sheriff would recognize in the monster pictures the same type of Hyde his wife was. Do we believe he had no idea what she looked like when she transformed? I find that quite incredible .”
Finally, Redditor @Willing_Ad4911 noticed thatthe mystery that has been set up forWednesdayseason 2might have a plot hole. Although technology-related plot holes are common in thriller or horror movies/TV shows because it can be challenging to work around them, they are still frustrating for fans. The Redditor wrote:
“How is Wednesday getting texts from her anonymous stalker on her new phone that Xavier just gave her??”
How Can Wednesday Season 2 Avoid Plot Holes?
It’s possible forWednesdayseason 2 to avoid plot holes byproviding aclever explanation for Wednesday Addams’s stalker. If the stalker’s identity is too obvious or they make any mistakes that Wednesday should be able to figure out easily, then that will be disappointing.
At the end ofWednesdayseason 1, episode 8, “A Murder of Woes,” Nevermore Academy shuts down for a little while and Wednesday heads back home. While she’s sitting in the car, she gets a text from someone who has been spying on her.Wednesdayseason 2 will likely pick up right where the first season left off, or there could be a small time jump. But either way, the character will look into what’s been going on, and there will have to be a reasonable explanation in the second season finale. As long asseason 2 includes more horror movie momentsas promised by Jenna Ortega and the resolution of the mystery makes sense, then viewers will be pleased.
What should fans know about Wednesday season 1?
Wednesdayseason 2 can also avoid plot holes byshowing more teachers at Nevermore Academy and making sure that any new villains act logically. As long as these things can be achieved, fans will be happy to revisit the entertaining, dark, and creepy world of Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams.
