Wednesday: a box and a viral dance
According to Nielsen, Wednesday had been seen for nearly 6 billion hours in just 5 days
She should go deeper the relationships between Mercredi and his friends, but also with his mother Morticia. We’ll have to be patient, but in the meantime the series has spawned one true phenomenon in social networks. If you use Instagram, Snapchat, but especially TikTok, it’s very unlikely that you haven’t come across content creators play choreography performed in the Nervermore Ball episode through Wednesday.
It went even further since this was choreography covered by skater Kamila Valieva at the Russian Championships, where she placed second. The video of his program was more than 37 million views, testifying to the viral nature of this choreography. Also, if you’re a fan of the dress worn in the series on Wednesday, you can download it in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
A choreography that pursues Jenna Ortega
Anyway, the popularity of this sequence haunts the mind of Jenna Ortega. When asked by Entertainment Tonight, the actress, who is a self-confessed perfectionist, said she did something regretss about this choreography. She would think about it at night, thinking about what she could have done to make it even more memorable:
I still can not believe it. Improved some of the moves I had planned. That’s one of the scenes I think about when I stay up at night. There were so many things I could and should have done. I can’t understand why anyone showed appreciation for this scene or even tried to imitate it.
But the order could have been completely different! As reported by Allociné, the idea contained in the basic script was to Make this scene a flash mob, that is, a sudden and prepared gathering of people, popular a few years ago, especially at train stations or in the business world. Jenna Ortega and Tim Burton obviously thought it was irrelevant, and the actress then largely imagined the process that we can see in the series. As a reminder, despite Amazon’s acquisition of MGM, Season 2 from Wednesday will be easy to find on Netflix. We’ll just have to wait for that second burst of episodes to find out if Wednesday repeats the feat.
