Did they pull off a "Freaky Wednesday" in Wednesday Season 2? Fans' reactions, explored

We all know that Wednesday's monochrome color palette is an identifiable aspect of her personality. And in complete contrast to her, we have our sweet and compassionate werewolf Enid, whose flamboyant color palette is synonymous with her identity. So what happens when both of these unlikely besties' bodies get swapped in Wednesday Season 2?

Firstly, here's a quick context (or recap) as to why this mischance even took place. In the "Woe Thyself" episode of Wednesday Season 2. Despite the curfew, Wednesday breaks rules and heads to the Nevermore graveyard to find the whereabouts of Tyler. She goes to the gravestone of fellow Raven, Rosaline Rotwood, and attempts to locate him.

In the meantime, Enid is freaking out as a curfew rule has been placed on the students. If anyone from the dorm breaks the rule, the whole dorm shall not be allowed to attend the gala. Enid, who has been preparing her dance for quite some time, does not want that to go to waste. So, an enraged Enid goes to find Wednesday to bring her back.

However, since Wednesday's ritual gets disturbed by Enid, both of them face its grave consequences as their bodies get swapped. Enid in Wednesday's body is yelping in shock, and Wednesday in Enid's body is burning in frustration. This hilarious scene is undoubtedly one of the core highlights in Wednesday Season 2.

Fans, without doubt, are overwhelmed with shock, excitement, and praise about the scene. Some people have even drawn parallels with popular films such as Freaky Friday, which also explores this classic trope. Here's a humorous exchange of comments found on Reddit, under a post by r/Wednesday, which is titled "The Body Swap Is Definitely Happening 👀"

Under the post, a redditor named x/SciFiFilmMachine wrote a comment saying:

"Freaky Friday but it's actually Freaky Wednesday. 🙃"

To which, another user, named as x/Spicyspices05 replied:

"Actually Wednesday’s middle name is Friday"

There were also more hilarious takes on the scene in Wednesday Season 2. Some of them are regarding Wednesday's interaction with Bruno. Wednesday (as Enid), during the body-swapping moment, finds out the truth about Bruno's infidelity towards Enid. When she finds out about that, 'Wednesday' dumps Bruno. A user on Twitter, named @eleosrtega highlighted this scene by stating:

About its visual language too, people have pointed out an important detail. When both of them are standing next to each other, the colorful light that passes through Enid's window falls on Enid's body.

A person on Twitter named @SabrinaTwyla marked this cinematography detail and has analyzed its deeper significance and meaning in Wednesday Season 2, as the tweet reads:

Apart from the comments about the scene, a heap of praise kept pouring in regarding the performances of Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers in this body-swapping scene. Here is a compilation of comments by Redditors who have penned words of appreciation for both the stars in Wednesday Season 2.

Under the post made by r/Wednesday, a user named x/skylerharrington lauded the actors' range and prowess and even considered Episode 6 to be the best one in Wednesday Season 2, by mentioning:

"This episode just proved how versatile and amazing actresses both of them are and the ranges they can go We are all so accustomed to seeing them playing polar opposites, but by swapping and BECOMING their OWN polar opposite was amazing! Weird but amazing I wasn't a fan of the body swap theory but I think this played out waaay better than I could've ever anticipated. Hands down, best episode in my opinion from this season"

On a similar note, x/WesternWind73 felt that this scene has the true potential to grab an Emmy, as the comment goes:

"That was definitely Emmy award worthy. It must've been so fun for them to take on the other actor's character. Truly a spectacular display of acting craft."

Another user, x/RealJenniferKeller noted the actors' brilliance in their craft, as they successfully incorporated each other's body language and speech techniques, by stating:

"Beautifully said!

I was blown away by how they adapted each other mannerisms and patterns of speech.

One of my favorite episodes of season 2 and overall from the show so far."

Alongside, some have even mentioned the fact that this could be the moment for Emma Myers, whose wish to play Wednesday came true. The actor had initially auditioned for her role, so in this scene, Myers could finally channel her inner Wednesday Addams!

As a redditor named x/Reverse_London wrote under the post, mentioning:

"Interesting tidbit, Emma Myers mentioned in an interview how she originally auditioned for the part of Wednesday Addams.

Guess she finally got the part. Kinda."
