Why Wednesday Season 2 Doesn’t Need Another Dance Scene
Season 1’s Viral Moment Cannot Be Repeated
Part of the reason season 1’s dance scene became so popular is that it was such an unexpected moment.Wednesday’s dark and serious nature made her seem like the kind of individual who would not choose to dance under any circumstances, and yet, when she did, her bizarre moves felt perfectly aligned with her character.Another dance scene inWednesdayseason 2would lose the authenticity and surprise factorthat made the season 1 scene work so well.
Since season 2 is focusing more on horror than romantic drama, perhaps one of the new horror elements could rival season 1’s dance scene.
It was a rare moment for the character in season 1, but another dance scene would likely feel contrived.Wednesdayis notThe Umbrella Academy, where it worked tonally and with the characters' personalities to have an intricate dance sequence during every season. Season 2 needs to replace the dance by featuring something that can still be memorable and entertaining, and further explore the eccentricities ofthe Addams family member.
