So I watched Wednesday...again. Content Warning.
This week, I watched Wednesday, Season Two Part Two on Netflix and I have more notes than I did when I first watched Wednesday on Netflix in 2022. Someone told me to watch The Vanity Fair interview on YouTube because my theory corresponds with something Jenna Ortega had said in the interview.
