‘Wednesday’ Avian Twist Was the Big Reveal No One Asked For

There have been several shocking reveals in Wednesday’s season 2 part 1, but the whole mystery is yet far from being solved.

The new instalment for Tim Burton’s hit show sees Wednesday trying to figure out who is in control of deadly crows that commit horrifying murders, which eventually leads her to unveiling a big secret about Willow Hill Hospital and accidentally unleashing Tyler, who is also the Hyde.

In episode 4, the mysterious figure behind the Avian turns out to be the one that everyone expected to see there the least possible, with Wednesday’s fans having a theory about this having a pretty different outcome.

Who Is the Avian in ‘Wednesday’?

In the second season’s part 1 finale, it’s revealed that the Avian is Judi Spannegel, the seemingly harmless and friendly executive assistant at Willow Hill who is actually the daughter of Augustus Stonehurst.

The latter was a Nevermore professor who spent his entire life trying to figure out how to transport outcasts’ supernatural powers to normies.

As it turns out, Judi shared her father’s obsession with exploiting outcasts, which is why she took over his experiments and imprisoned some outcasts in the Willow Hill asylum, continuing with Stonehurst’s program called LOIS (Longterm Outcast Integration Study).

Apart from that, Judi was also the one to control the crows and force them to commit crimes, killing those who have been trying to investigate the mystery behind LOIS.

‘Wednesday’ Fans Don’t Feel Like Judi Is the Real Avian

Since the character’s on-screen appearance is kinda limited and doesn’t go further than just five minutes or even less, the show’s fans couldn’t quite believe that Judi would be this season’s biggest villain.

Even though she still has a chance to prove herself in the second instalment’s second part, many got disappointed by the fact that the Addams’ loyal and pretty quiet assistant Lurch wasn’t involved in the entire mess.

As some fans speculated, Lurch could have easily joined Thing in the latter’s complaints that he’s treated by the Addams like a soulless servant, especially since Lurch shows up on the screen much more frequently now than in the first season.

“I really thought they were building Lurch's character up for a misdirect of who the Avian was and end the 4 episodes with us theorizing who it could be: with him as the main suspect for the audience”, Redditor Individual_Signal261 ranted.

“This! I am so annoyed that the big bad is a character where I literally spent the entire reveal scene trying to remember who she was”, AnyIndustry3191 agreed.

Wednesday’s season 2 part 2 is landing on Netflix on September 3.
