This scene is why I’m angry about the all but promised redemption arc for Tyler.
Rarely am I surprised by an execution of a reveal, but when Tyler says “To lose?” in such a belittling, condescending manner, it floored me. The whole season, whether you caught on early or not, he’s presented as this sweet, almost boy next door vibes. He’s charming and seems like he genuinely just wants to help
And then when nobody is looking, when it’s just him and Wednesday, and he dropped that mask of any goodness, leaving nothing but smug arrogance while he gloats
His reveal was so well done despite the fact having been foreseen, the execution more than made up for it to me personally.
Now moving on to another point that I harped on in my prior post, the person Tyler prides himself on being as said in the scene above, the traits he double downs on when Wednesday goes to the asylum, is not the type of person Wednesday would want to be with. It’s just not in character for her. I mean, this was via Netflix’s subtitles, Wednesday’s reaction to his reveal:
“but he’s grown, he’s changing, blah blah blah” guys, he 1. threw Wednesday out of a second story window,
2. locked “Enid” in a cell, then after Agnes throws the machine haywire, he storms towards Wednesday with anger in his eyes and only stops when “Enid” wolfs out and breaks free.
this is amidst the “he’s changing” like???
And the ONLY reason Wednesday didn’t kill Tyler in the asylum is because Enid urged her that they had to leave. Wednesday WOLFED OUT for Enid because of the threat Tyler posed on her. Yeah ok. sure, they’re definitely meant for each other…..
Point is, I loved the Tyler reveal and how he’s an evil menace and how he manipulated Wednesday so thoroughly that to allow him to have a redemption sullies it for me, and they’re just not it.
