Summary
While there were plenty of memorable moments inWednesdayseason 1,the hitNetflixseries had one particular scene that went viral. Fans watched it countless times on social media, did their own version on TikTok, and wanted to hear about Jenna Ortega’s filming experience. It was no doubt a moment that put the show on the map and made people want to watch it.
AlthoughWednesdayseason 2 should build on one friendshipandhave a fun reveal for Wednesday’s stalker,the second season also needs a viral moment that will be even better and more exciting than the first one. Since this scene had a lot to do with the show’s success, it’s a great idea to try to create another attention-grabbing moment.
What Viral Moment Should Wednesday Season 2 Have?
The dance scene inWednesdayseason 1 became a viral hit and helped make the showpopular online.Wednesday danced to the song “Goo Goo Mucks” by The Cramps at the Nevermore school dancein episode 4, “Woe What a Night.” It was a shock to see the character dance, especially since no one thought she would even attend the dance in the first place. Along withensuring there are more scary monstersand fleshing out Nevermore Academy,Wednesdayseason 2 needs to top the viral dance scene with something even more fun and unforgettable.
While fans likely want to see Jenna Ortega perform another dance, that would be too obvious. Instead,Wednesday should sing in one scene, which would create another viral moment. If she picked a catchy song that is as eerie as “Goo Goo Mucks,” there’s no doubt that viewers would talk about this scene for a long time, too.
As it turns out, Ortega has sung while acting before, making this possible. In an interview withWired.com, Ortega was humble about her abilities. When asked if she can sing, she said:
“Poorly. I’ve sang for jobs before in the past and I’m happy to but I would never want to make a career out of it. I would love to be a musical composer.”
If Wednesday sang in a season 2 scene, it would prove thatshe has another hidden talent that no one knew about.Even thoughWednesdayis a great show, it’s hard to imagine a regular scene going viral like Wednesday’s dance scene. Fans could share the scene on social media and sing it on TikTok. There would even be the opportunity to create a mash-up of Wednesday’s season 1 “Goo Goo Muck” dance scene and the season 2 scene, which would give the show even more staying power online.
WhileWednesdayseason 2 will have an interesting mystery, Wednesday’s viral song moment could happen halfway through the season. It would be a fun, lighthearted break. The character could sing in her dorm room when she doesn’t think anyone is there, or there could be a talent show. This would be a cool way tointegrate the different cliques at the schooland then other characters could show off their own skills and abilities.
Wednesday’s singing could also be integrated into the stalker storyline as she could sing as a distraction. Her stalker would be completely focused on her while Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers), Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday), or another beloved character would work on a plan to take them down once and for all. This would be funny, fast-paced, and compelling.
What Did Jenna Ortega Say About The Wednesday Season 1 Viral Moment?
Jenna Ortega has been asked about her viral dance scene in many interviews since everyone wants to hear more about it. She impressed fans and critics with her creativity and dedication. In an interview withVulturethat she came up with the dance herself and she had some nerves around this moment. She said:
“I actually felt really insecure about this. I choreographed that myself and I think it’s very obvious that I’m not a dancer or choreographer.”
Ortega shared that whilean idea was floated that there would be a flash mob, she knew Wednesday wouldn’t participate. After all, this is a character who is a loner and a rebel. It was the right call to decide that her character would dance in such a strange and memorable way. According toToday.com, Ortega said in a 2022 appearance onThe Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallonthat people told her the dance sequence would be a big hit. She said:
“Netflix, they were telling me, ‘Jenna, this is going to be a thing on TikTok. I figured they’re excited, they were getting hyped up, but they were right!”
