I liked it a lot.
Stranger Things needs to fuck off and die. It was good for one season, had a decent rehash for a second season, then dropped off a fucking cliff. Fuck their pretentious ass way of numbering their seasons as if they were movie sequels, and fuck this Telltale Games looking ass series. "Now they can be young and marketable forever!" kys netflix
It was fun
>>153519473Don't worry, anon. No one cares about the Stranger Things cartoon. It'll be gone before you know it
>>153518031I wasn't aware that it released. When did that happen? I'll have to make some time for it.
>>153518031How can Netflix not feel embarrassed to release this after the fucking disaster that was the ending.Sure, it probably wasn't the most abhorrent way to ends things, but holy fuck, the interviews with the Duffer brothers made things so much worst.It just revealed to everyone just how utterly clueless those hacks are.
>>153520904Tales from '85 was already in motion. They had no choice but to release it regardless of the audience response to the main show's conclusion.
>>153520904that finale made me wonder if they even had a game plan to begin with and weren't pulling out their asses since episode 1.
>>153521551Well it was rumored they stole the idea of Stranger Things from a spec script and have been riding on the seat of their pants ever since
>>153520904I never saw the interviews with the Duffer brothers; just what do they reveal?
>>153522076They wrote the second half o season 5 on the fly with no actually idea of how they wanted to end it, using literally Chat GPT and the actors had to guide them into making any half decent scenes.
>>153521551The finale was always going to be El and any other person with powers dying and the Upside Down destroyed.
>>153520601Music for this and gravity falls were both done by the same guyOddly enough, the person who directed this was responsible for both Glitch Techs as well as Fanboy and Chum chum
It was fun. What the show should have always been about. The main kids.
>>153520904I didn't even bother to watch the last season the show was rotting before hand.The whole attempt to make a stealth spin-off was so jarring it broke all sense of immersion for that season.
>>153522877What are you fucking talking about?
>>153520904I thought the ending itself was decent, it was the rest of the season that sucked hard
>>153523300Remember when 11 ran off to join the X-Men?
>>153518031It was kino.
>>1535208642 weeks ago.
>>153521551There was nothing about the first season that truly necessitated a sequel, though I guess its in keeping with a homage to 80's horror to have a bunch of unnecessary shitty sequels.
>>153523493Well shit. I assumed I'd find out here first, but not 2 weeks in. Not a good sign if /co/ waited this long to talk about it. Hope it's half decent.
>>153523551I always thought they should have e turned it into an anthology series after the first season.It would have been a lot easier to mine for 80s tropes without having to worry about continuity
This is totally what a punk girl looked like in 85 and not a designers self insert.
>>153518031>>153523594I refuse to watch it due to the random dyke self insert. How can people still think these sideshave characters being forced in every franchise is just a "conspiracy".
>>153523589The kids were the main heart of the show, do an anthology and you risk getting rid of the cast that attracted people to it in the first place. That said, it didn't work when they were basically in their 30s by the fifth season and their charm had long worn off by then.
>>153523606Dustin, El, and Max still kept their charm to me, but Lucas and Will have felt 'off' since season 4. Mike was kind of just 'there' in 5. But holy shit, Holly's growth spurt in 5 was a shock. Also, fuck that Scrappy Doo, Derek.
>>153523712Holly got a new actress for S5, even though the babies they consistently hired throughout S1-S4 to play her were actually old enough to do the character as a preteen.
>>153523606The cartoon takes place between season 2 and season 3.So the main cast are still kids at the time.
>>153523742Oh, I know it's a new actress, I'm just saying that the difference between season 4 Holly being alarmed by Dustin telling her about Freddy Kreuger while playing Lite Brite and season 5 Holly baking cakes and reading novels is kind of jarring.
>>153524006Well there’s a year and 8 months difference between March 1986 (season 4) and November 1987 (season 5).
Give meMore Max
>>153524006I could never get lite Brite to work properly
It’s similar to Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous.
>>153518031>here’s a show about all the goofy shit that happened in the half a year or so period between season 2 and season 3 that will never get brought up againThey are about 5 years too late to have this shit still be relevant. Not to mention that seasons 4 and 5 completely destroyed any sense of intrigue the show had by making all the bad things happening be the result of some psychic twink with a god complex who is constantly getting dunked on by Eleven.
Who's the fat dyke top left?
>>153525496If you were using the original classic Lite Brite, it was literally just a lightbulb and a switch inside a plastic box with a grid screen on one side. I'm confused as to how a person could have trouble getting it to work? Not trying to insult. Genuine question.
>>153524145Yeah, sure. I still found it shocking, though. Like if you don't see a relative in that long, and suddenly their kids have doubled in size, and you're like, 'who the hell are these kids?'
>>153525762>seasons 4 and 5 completely destroyed any sense of intrigueI thought 5 was a little weak for a number of reasons, but I thought 4 was generally considered the peak of the series?Or were you just disappointed by the reveal of the big bad?
>>153522805So the end of season 1? Really not beating the stolen spec script allegations lol
>>153524145She was supposed to be 8 (canonically she was born in 1980 and her age always lined up with the year: 4 in 1984, 6 in 1986 etc) but for 1988 they time jumped her age to like 12 and had her played by a 14 year old.
>>153526903It's a TFA situation where it seemed cool as it was coming out but I'm retrospect was kinda dumb. I remember being disappointed in the Creel reveal by the end and they really dropped the ball with him in season 5. He would've been much better as a creature from the UD.
>>153527523She wasn’t 12, otherwise she’d be in 7th grade middle school.She had to be 10 at most, to still be in elementary school in November 1987.
>>153526728You are missing one element, the blackout paper you put on the grid and perforated with the colored points to cause the effectThe paper was finnicky.
>>153521986>Well it was rumored they stole the idea of Stranger Things from a spec scriptIt was for It, but it was rejected in favor of the one we got.
>>153523594Cute ?
>>153523604The entertainment and art industry as a whole is chalk full of fags and dykes. You best believe they'll take any chance to shovel their faggotry into any project they're in as much and as often as humanly possible. It reminds me of that one shitty Kung Fu panda cartoon that had a bara fag working on it who kept tweeting angerly how his higher ups wouldn't let Po be gay for some generic pig character he made or some shit
>>153525626
>>153527910Oh, is that all? You just had trouble with the paper? All right, that I can believe. It was much easier with the pre-cut branded shit (we had Glo-Friends and Wuzzles and shit like that).
>>153530262Very nice
>>153518031This was the one that was clearly the telltale game they were making reworked into a tv series after Telltale exploded right?
>>153518031I don't like this...
>>153523606They could have kept the kids just had a different supernatural threat each season. Like that would at least let them experiment more and not have to mine the upsidown for everything it's worth.
>>153530601This is the spinoff Finn Wolfhard guessed correctly that the Duffers were making, a “Saturday morning” cartoon.
>>153523594should've looked like Trash then?
>>153521551They DID have a game plan. Netflix made them cancel it.The original pitch for Stranger Things was as an anthology show. The reason that the first season feels like it didn't need a sequel is because it was never intended to have one. Season 2 onward of Stranger Things was supposed to be a completely different set of characters in a completely unrelated situation each season, with MAYBE the occasional easter egg that would briefly mention Hawkins Indiana if they wanted to be cute about it. Maybe storylines could cross over later, but that was never the goal at the start.But then Stranger Things S1 got *super* popular, and Netflix refused to kill a golden goose so they changed up everything to make more of the same. I'm convinced thats why Eleven went off and hung out with those punks for no reasons in season 2: I'm guessing that they were characters that were supposed to be the focus of what season 2 was originally meant to be, and so they got 'salvaged' into a minor role that no one cared about that mostly just wasted them and was offputting to everyone else because it was so unnecessary. But there can't have been a long term plan from the start, because we were never supposed to go back to Hawkins Indiana or the Upside Down. This is also why they used kid actors in season 1 which became a problem later: they were never supposed to be following these characters long enough for the age progression to become a problem.
>153529712No.
I guess Glitch Techs was a fluke, huh?
>>153533307Nahh, Eric Robles just wasn't given good material to work with. Even the spin-off premise Netflix and the Duffers went with seems limiting and uninspired.
>>153531861>Stranger Things fans have 2 left feet
>>153533307I miss Glitch Techs. Before you say 'you just miss Miko's huge delicious ass', Well yeah, obviously... butt... I also happen to enjoy the rest of the show, and I would have loved to see some of the plot twists resolved.
>>153521551It's a well-known fact they were just bullshitting past a certain point.
>>153530686>>153519473>>153520864>>153520904I don't know why normies were shocked by the ending. Netflix is known for blackwashing, gaywashing and aggresively inserting lgbtbbqbraaapp+ stuff into their shows. Like, it's what they're known for. Seeing twitter meltdown over it was kinda weird, as if everyone was just pants on head retarded. It's like ordering food from applebees and shocked that it's garbage. >>153523594What is gods name is that fucking creature?
>>153518031Do ANY original cast members reprise their roles?
>>153518031>Did you enjoy the Stranger Things cartoon? I haven't seen it.
>>153522877I didn’t watch the last season either. They took WAY a too long to come out with it and by the time they did I no longer cared about the show. I also thought Vecna was a stupid big bad.
>>153523589I thought I remembered hearing that was the original plan but then people loved the characters so much they decided to keep it going.Same thing happened with Heroes.
>>153531699The punks in season 2 were actually setting up for a spin-off series. But people hated that plot so much they killed it.
>>153538132They killed off all the punks in season 5
>>153530262Noice!
