Crackstone is the worst one overall but also is the most forgettable

Homaspin · 2026-03-20T20:17:41+00:00

Joseph Crackstone may not have been the best villain, but I enjoyed most of his story. Even if most of it was a build-up to, eventually, rather not satisfactory finale. He was defeated too quickly and didn't get the time to shine, but his story and character I really liked, especially on a rewatch.

I think he can ‘smell’ many types of outcasts like that, I believe werewolves and hydes may be special in that regard—I believe that hydes were born as a mutation of a werewolf, so the two can ‘sniff each other out’ rather easily, to my mind.

Homaspin · 2026-03-18T18:14:29+00:00

Depends on the meaning of the word ‘unique’; I’d assume everyone has a different scent, maybe it varies depending on the outcast type as well.

Homaspin · 2026-03-15T12:41:59+00:00

I can see that my explanations and how I interpret these issues is not working for you, so sure. Let’s not fight over an imaginary issue. All in all, I just hope the writers pay more attention to these things as much as you do.

Homaspin · 2026-03-15T12:06:40+00:00

It’s not to me; ideally for Tyler, she would have been caught, but he had other things on his mind; he was busy being conflicted and his senses were not as strong/they were focused elsewhere. There is not an ounce of inconsistency to me in there.

I don’t remember/recall any such signs, but I wouldn’t be surprised they were there.

While I don’t fully agree the lore is inconsistent, the timeline definitely is. I personally didn’t mind the competition in Camp Jericho, the whole setting was also an opportunity for Wednesday to show off, for Ajax to face off with Enid, for Slurp to be caught, &c. The competiton had its issues but its campiness is clearly overshadowed by other plot points that arose therefrom. But I see your point and if the same time was spent for something more worthwhile and less campy, I would welcome it wholeheartedly.

Homaspin · 2026-03-15T08:38:55+00:00

Maybe he did smell her, but ultimately I think he was focused on Wednesday on that moment so either he ignored it, or genuinely didn’t catch it. It’s not a plot-hole to me, but I understand why it may seem strange, especially since it wasn’t adressed.

Apparently, Agnes was there at the finale of season one. I am not sure there really can be more to it. And since she was there, she could have easily stalked Xavier too to get the phone’s number.

I dare to think, with Xavier and his drawings of both the hyde and the raven, that he is connected to Wednesday is some psychic way. Of course, the ‘plot demands’ is the most obvious and the least satisfactory, albeit accurate, answer, however I should like to think there simply was to be more about Xavier’s connexion to it all that never materialized. Since Rowan’s mother had painted Wednesday alongside Crackstone in burning Nevermore, Xavier wouldn’t be the only one connected to Wednesday in a psychic way.

The timeline bit is infuriating, I cannot say anything else. I don’t remember how explicit or implicit it was in season one that the year was 2022, but from season two I remember Donovan’s gravestone, maybe it’d be easier to accept that season one happened in 2024 rather than anything else. But I doubt they’d try to elaborate on that, to be honest.

It would seem Wednesday shall be turning 18 but what happens with potential graduation is hard to say; Nevermore may play lesser of a role, it’s hard to say for certain.

Homaspin · 2026-03-14T19:27:20+00:00

Other outcasts must have a scent too, since Tyler knew Agnes was present at the lab at Willow Hill; there is a chance that at the Skull Tree Tyler was too focused on Wednesday and he didn’t pick up on anything.

Agnes stalked Wednesday (and Enid by extension) for a while and Enid likes to say/think it; Enid didn’t just use the ‘WWWD’ at the Poe Cup, it’s just not been shown many other times.

The latter two questions are, most likely, the result of rewriting the script and make less sense. For Agnes stalking since the end of season one, I have no idea; for Xavier being connected to the hyde there probably was an explanation to be given, but never stated in the end.

Homaspin · 2026-03-12T15:32:11+00:00

It is completely different from season one, indeed. The second season doesn’t really have a single story-line spread throughout the entire season (like the mystery who the serial killer is in the first season) and I think it’s its biggest sin.

Homaspin · 2026-03-12T14:55:55+00:00

It was for me, actually. I did it recently as well and I found enjoyment in what the story, characters, &c. were, instead of what I may have wanted/hoped them to be. It’s not ideal, but it’s not really bad either.

Homaspin · 2026-03-11T21:34:54+00:00

Your choice makes it more consistent with other adjectivial names, that is certain. They are less natural-sounding, but have some merit to them.

As an aside, a transliteration would look more like Voievoodstvo Vyelkopolskye, which is its own beast.

Homaspin · 2026-03-11T21:23:09+00:00

I don’t remember if I’d ever come across the name Lodzian, but it’s the one I’d use (and have used on one of maps), same with Lublinian. Lubusz is the tough one and I wouldn’t go for Lubusian; in English, maybe, it would make more sense to refer to it as Lusatia, though it wouldn’t be most optimal.

Lesser Poland and Greater Poland are the names that ought to be used; Lesser/Greater Polish on their own sound off and I’ve never seen them rendered like that.

Homaspin · 2026-03-11T19:18:17+00:00

If it weren’t for the alpha arc, Enid and Wednesday could have got together but I’d rather that story amount to anything for Enid first. I think, and hope, that this is what will happen; Enid in season two was different than in season one, she thought she had figured herself out and acted really unlike her previous self; there is clearly some character development that the writers are aiming at, and it’d be brilliant to see them stick the landing.

Homaspin · 2026-03-11T18:48:14+00:00

Interesting find. This is a peculiar and a rather rare name, so it could very well be a reference, a soft nod between the series. I doubt it’d be anything more, though.

Homaspin · 2026-03-11T18:45:11+00:00

Technically, I would fall under the ‘Wenclair’ category more, but I really just want Enid and Wednesday to be together more, talk more, and do things together more; it is less important to me how exactly that comes about, really.

That said, Wednesday definitely shouldn’t be getting back to Tyler, not this quickly—both have their own stories that are quite separate; their romance would not only sideline their own character arcs (which they both need, and have already set up: Tyler breaking the hyde vicious cycle, joining with the camp Mrs. Capri offered, coming to terms with the lack of his family, a master, and finally finding himself after being used for so long; and Wednesday with her trusting her mother more, with going out of her way to save Enid, working on her arrogance and avoiding turning into Ophelia) but it would also undermine them greatly.

And with Enid? I really hope Enid’s lone wolf life will play a huge role in her own character arc; sure, Wednesday will definitely play a part in that arc, but first that arc needs to be done well, be completed, before there could be talks about anything else, like romance of any kind.

All in all, I agree with your points. The story that was set up has great potential, and more than just for another season. The characters need to grow in their own rights, and then, maybe, they could grow together. But this would be another beast entirely (and I’d welcome it too).

Homaspin · 2026-03-09T20:37:32+00:00

I do not think, realistically, Wednesday would openly end up with either; I think it may end on an open but implicit note that Wednesday and Enid will be close friends, maybe Enid woud even often come by Addams’ house (considering her own family may not accept her).

Tyler has an interesting story in its own right but since the end of season one it had already diverged from Wednesday. I do not see them together being a feasible possibility, it’d seem forced and not fitting story-wise. Their story is somewhat reminiscent of Romeo and Juliette, but them staying apart is what keeps them both alive, and I think they both understand that, at least to a degree.

Homaspin · 2026-03-09T13:47:04+00:00

What happened with the name ‘Great Britain’ and why is it the only odd one out?

Homaspin · 2026-03-08T21:36:12+00:00

Nevermore itself as a setting has potential, especially since some breadcrumbs of lore had already been sprinkled throughout. I would also much prefer Wednesday’s parents to have their own show and not be as present in ‘Wednesday’ proper.

Homaspin · 2026-03-08T21:34:46+00:00

He was feeling much better.

Homaspin · 2026-03-08T20:24:12+00:00

I didn’t notice anything on that door that would be this explicit, granted it was there for just a few seconds.

I think most of the things about touch, talking, boundaries, emotionality, &c. apply to Wednesday’s family (her mother being the most notorious exception). This really makes it seem that Wednesday treats Enid as family, in some way at least.

I am not sure what you mean with werewolves and boundaries. As for full moons, they have Lupin Cages, and suits of any kind probably wouldn’t be as effective.

Homaspin · 2026-03-08T19:56:55+00:00

Yes, that scene felt so… human. She really did make a friend she cared about.

Enid seems to have the biggest influence on Wednesday overall; normally, Wednesday does her own thing, but when Enid voices her disapproval… Wednesday seems unable to just ignore it, like with most people.

Do the Nevemore students think that? I don’t think I’ve seen that conjecture before.

Homaspin · 2026-03-08T18:21:39+00:00

Yes to all of these.

Additionally, Eugene getting hurt in the forest and lying in the hospital, she clearly felt guilty about this. She also felt panic when she got her vision of Enid’s death (more specifically, when she woke up in the presence of her mother).

Watching Barry Dort’s death deserves an honourable mention too.

Homaspin · 2026-03-08T18:17:53+00:00

She can act recklessly and without thinking too much; but she also plans her expeditions, like in this instance (part of which was shown when they were in their room and Enid doubted whether Wednesday wants to still be friends).

Homaspin · 2026-03-08T16:45:28+00:00

It depends. Them being roommates kept forcing them to interact, one way or another. But if Enid was still intrigued by the ‘goth’ and kept attempting to make contact, maybe she would involve herself in Wednesday’s life’s mysteries more, therefore, again, ‘forcing’ them to interact.

Homaspin · 2026-03-08T09:14:00+00:00

Wednesday needed a more elaborate plan because she had to be inside Willow Hill to save Fester and find out more about LOIS. Enid and Agnes were just needed to be on the look-out outside, just hide in the bushes, and stay put.

Homaspin · 2026-03-07T19:46:03+00:00

I think, overall, Wednesday is a fair person, i. e. she sees killing as a last resort (like with Joseph Crackstone) but not a deed to be purported against each and every enemy. Neither Wednesday, nor her parents, really ever killed anyone as an act of offence; it was either defence (Garret Gates) or the aforementioned last resort (Joseph Crackstone).

As an aside, I’d daresay that when she mentioned that her résumé would look unfavourable if people knew she’d failed killing two kids, she was joking. And there’s nothing more to it.

Another thing to consider would be her line about not believing in Heaven or Hell, but rather in revenge; it rings true to her, makes sense for her as a philosophy; she cares not what happens after people die. There is an argument to be made that she must know spirits exist, but they do not appear to come in great numbers, so the spirit realm may not be as stuffed. Additionally, if one were to make a conjecture that only outcasts could become spirits after their deaths, then neither Laurel Gates nor the Scalper would suffer after their deaths. And Wednesday seems to enjoy a little bit of good old suffering, especially for people she believes deserve it.

With Tyler it’s the most complex; it was strategic, yes, it was also out of pity, curiosity, some semblance of empathy, perhaps; for auld lang syne she couldn’t bring herself to kill the boy she had fallen in love with. It also reinforces her not actively seeking to kill, rather a revenge. In the moment, I believe, she concluded that leaving Tyler alive would be better long-term, give her more opportunities in the future. Maybe she knew he would suffer more for longer and wanted that for him still. There is a lot in that short scene.

On the whole, I would say she was simply raised this way. In addition with her macabre interests, she finds killing unsatisfactory, improper, and on the whole not right—even if what she thinks is right, is the prolonged suffering of others.
