Wednesday’s Powers Make Even Less Sense After Season 2’s Big Mystery

Netflix has caused quite a splash by reintroducing the beloved Addams Family, and viewers can’t get enough of it. The series Wednesday offers a fresh perspective, primarily centering around the family’s daughter, the main character. While the rest of the family makes occasional appearances for comic relief, it is Wednesday’s fixation on solving mysteries that propels the narrative. This has been consistent across both seasons so far, and the approach seems to be effective. The first season of Wednesday unveiled that the young character had at last tapped into her powers-a family tradition. However, as we delve deeper into these powers, more questions arise in the second season, emphasizing the familial bonds it cultivates.

In the first season, Wednesday Addams eagerly embraced her visions, utilizing them as a tool to uncover the answers she so urgently needed. This approach can be characteristic of Wednesday, seizing opportunities with fervor and attempting to manipulate them. However, during Season 2 Part 1, it became evident that this method might have been misguided, as her powers started to backlash, resulting in black tears and various complications. It appears that to comprehend her power conflicts, Wednesday may need to turn to her family, leaving us all puzzled about what’s to come.

Family Dynamics

As Wednesday delves deeper into understanding her abilities, it becomes increasingly evident that they are closely linked to the Addams Family’s lineage. These psychic powers can be traced back to Goody Addams, a significant figure from Season 1. Interestingly, Morticia Addams, being a psychic herself, has shown exceptional knowledge about these matters. However, since their powers stem from different sources, Morticia is unable to instruct Wednesday directly. According to Morticia, she represents the Dove while Wednesday embodies the Raven.

It might be surprising to some that Morticia appears to possess knowledge about the Addams Family’s unique abilities, given her marriage into the family. After all, her connection to these powers is through her union with an Addams, not by bloodline.

The Mystery of Ophelia

In Season 2, some questions were purposefully sparked, with a few touching on personal matters. For instance, what became of Morticia’s sibling, Ophelia? During a private conversation, it is revealed that Morticia’s missing sister could have been an ideal mentor for Wednesday, as she too was a Raven.

Essentially, Season 2 is further emphasizing the enigmatic aspect of the Addams Family’s family ties. Given their unconventional nature, it wouldn’t be surprising if they weren’t hesitant about close relatives kissing. Yet, they appear to be a family that discusses such topics openly. Even if they don’t, Grandmama’s acerbic attitude towards Morticia and her proximity to Wednesday might lead her to make some cutting remarks in passing.

It’s possible that the second part of “Wednesday” Season 2, airing on Netflix this coming Wednesday, September 3, might shed light on these questions and concerns. Alternatively, it could further muddle things; only time will reveal the answer!
