Moosa Mostafa and Jenna Ortega in Wednesday (2022)

Goofs

Friend or Woe

Wednesday

Edit

Continuity

When talking about Rowan to Xavier in Jericho, Wednesday is seen wearing her backpack on her back. But, in the next frame she is wearing the bag by her left forearm.
When Wednesday throws bully#1 into the stocks and clamps it down, the first shot of him shows only a tiny bit of his white collar and left sleeve. The next shot, straight on, shows a considerable amount of collar and sleeve on both sides. Following this is another angled shot from the left where the material is again not visible.

Factual errors

Wednesday finds that the book in the museum is a fake by the Etsy barcode on the back. Etsy is an online marketplace for sellers of handmade and/or vintage items. They do not manufacture or sell their own products, nor do they maintain any inventory. Because most items sold on Etsy are handmade and sold by individuals/small businesses, sellers largely do not track inventory via barcode. If they did, they would use their own codes and logos, since they are the seller, not Etsy itself. There would certainly not be a barcode with the Etsy logo on it.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

Burning witches was fairly unusual in the American colonies; victims of the witch trials were usually hanged. The procedure shown in flashback is an act of mob violence, not a judicial procedure.
In Colonial New England, "Goody" was not a name, but a contraction of "Goodwife", the title of married woman. It should be remembered that the Addamses are known for giving their children unconventional names.
When the Nevermore students are being told about the founding of the town Arlene says it was founded in 1625. 99 years before the first English settlement in Vermont. Jericho itself wasn't founded till 1763.

Of course, coming from Scottsdale only six months ago, Arlene is merely reciting a script written by the park owners.

Revealing mistakes

When Wednesday snapped twice in front of the Edgar Allan Poe statue in Woe Is the Loneliest Number (2022), the raven folded its wings down, the left arm pivoted inward, and then the statue slid away to reveal the entrance to the Nightshade library. Here, Ms. Thornhill snaps twice and the raven's wings fold down, then the statue slides away, without the statue's arm pivoting. The arm does wobble slightly, possibly indicating a prop failure.

Miscellaneous

When Wednesday is speaking German to the tourists, she says "two-hundred-and-fifty-eight" instead of "zweihundertachtundfünfzig," indicating whomever translated the line didn't bother with the number. A mistake Wednesday surely wouldn't make.

Anachronisms

The chains holding Goody's mother and the others have modern welded links instead of forged links as 17th century chains would have.

Plot holes

Character error

Enid say a blue moon only occurs "every 23 years or something crazy". In fact, a blue moon is simply a full moon twice in a calendar month. It happens on average every 2-3 years, although on rare occasions there can be 2 in the same year. The phrase "once in a blue moon" simply means it's a rare occurrence.
The detangling comb Connie gave Enid is a nit (head lice) comb.
When asked where Wednesday is, Bianca (copying the guide's "olde English") says that, knowing her, she's "hithered somewhere she shan't be." However "hithered" has never been a word, because it would mean "here-ed" and "shan't" is a contraction of "shall not." Bianca meant she'd gone somewhere she should not (shouldn't) be, not somewhere she shall not (shan't) be.
Wednesday announces that she freed herself from her restraints "5 minutes ago," but less than 2 minutes had passed since she was shown to be restrained with her hands tied tightly enough to cut off circulation, with the conversation happening in real-time.
