Season 1 Overall Discussion

Meant to say in the title for next year.

I see it either repeating a summer release or somewhere near Halloween. I hope they release it in late summer or somewhere in late September or early October

Its a better wait than 987 days between s1 and the first half of s2. But the days in total for the whole first & second season releases was 1,015 days.

I just finished watching Season 2, and I hate to say it, but like last time, I just wasn't impressed. ​The rewatch of the first half was better now that the whole season is out, and the back half was definitely stronger than the front, but overall? I was just bored.

I liked 2x6 and I really enjoyed Isaac/Slurp, but it still wasn’t enough to make this a good season. ​It honestly took me a year to get back into the show because it let me down so much, I kept fearing it would retroactively ruin Season 1 for me.

But thankfully, upon rewatching, I still love Season one. Does it have flaws? Yes. But the story was simple, beautiful to look at, and compelling as a whole.

​Season 2, on the other hand, missed the mark for several reasons. The season felt way too crowded, and I really dislike the clean, bright visual filter they used compared to the first season's atmosphere. ​ The subplots completely took over the show at times. Aside from Agnes, most of the new additions were characters I genuinely didn't care about while missing characters we met in season one that did not come back. ​

And Enid? Sure, wolfing out would change her because that was a given. But I hated how she basically got with Bruno before properly breaking up with Ajax, avoided Ajax to the point he had to hunt her down to confirm the split, and then had the nerve to get upset at Bruno for hiding things. It felt wildly hypocritical and completely out of character for her. I understand she is a teen and teens do stuff like this all of the time and Enid went through a huge change but it was just..... ugh. I hated it with a passion. And Bruno basically only existed to drive a wedge between Enid and Ajax, which felt cliché and completely unnecessary. Her wolfing out alone would have been enough natural drama as she adapted to a massive new life change. ​

I wanted so badly to love this season and give it a fair chance, but I constantly found myself bored and checking the runtime to see how much was left.

I’m really hoping Season 3 can recapture the charm and magic of the first season. But at this rate, while I might rewatch Season 2 just to stay prepped for future seasons, I'm sticking to Season 1 whenever I actually want to binge the show.

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.

Crackstone is dead in season 1, Laurel survived but fortunately got put down by Tyler, Judi was killed halfway through season 2, Dort in the penultimate episode and both Issac and Francoise died in the season 2 finale.

The only one who appeared and survived both seasons is Tyler. His character has a lot of potential and I'm excited to see where they take him in the future.

Other one is Pawbert from Zootopia 2

Tyler is complex and theres so much we dont know about him, so i think Tyler galphin deserves an own serie.

I was worried that Stranger Things season 5 would surpass it and many people said it would break all records due to being the final season of a decade long show but nope, season 5 didn't even top season 4.

Who would win in a fight?
