sex with steve
>>216196947why is Vecna being the one who took their sister presented as some episode ending twist? wasn't that the presumption we were operating under the entire time?also>dad fights demigorgon, dispatched in two seconds, nobody cares about him. mom does the same thing, dramatic slow-mo and thrilling music as the demigorgon takes like 20 real time seconds to show how amazing she is for standing up to itkek
I don't mean to be so negative already but I'm 3 episodes in and everything is just ridiculously dull and packed with filler. Almost the entire 2nd episode can be skipped.
>>216196973Such a dumb scene and makes her character look like a piece of shit. So the lesbians steal money from the dead guy.
>>216196947>Acting bad>Story bad>Even more new charactersThis show post season 1 certainly had a trajectory
>>216196973>>216196986she was just joshin you chuds, stop being lesphobic
>>216196985They are just stretching it out to pad out the season till the big finale on NYE.
>>216196947https://gofile.io/d/Ezuinf
Can someone tell me why the little sister who I don't remember from the previous seasons is the only compelling actor in the show so far
>>216197002I never actually skipped a scene in this show before. Even sat through that {{{episode}}} once. But this kids scenes infiltrating the base broke me.
>>216197025because you're a pedophile
Was the moms bathtub scene supposed to be erotic? Because it doesn't work with a flat chested hag.
this kid has the voice of an adult
>>216197025They gave her the good storyline. Meanwhile Hopper and El are doing a slow walking tour of the UD, everyone else is just kind of there
>interdimensional cosmic horrors get punked by hormonal 'teens' for five seasons straightgrim 2bh
>>216197059It's season 4 all over again. You have one good plotline (Vecna going after people) and all the others suck. Except here it's a million times worse so far because Holly and Vecna are barely on-screen. I'm assuming part 2 of this season will be when things get actually interesting
Im like 30 mins into ep 2 and i have no fucking idea what's happening. It's turned into Gate where they are going into the monster world to fight them or some shit.
stranger things? yeah its called my cock
>>216197025shes uhh uhhhh a great little actress
>'lick set in the 80s>no waist high pants
>>216197002Absolute unit of a tank.
>>216197025Because all the other actors have been stuck playing the same roles for 10 years through increasingly long and difficult shoots.
>>216197115she looks like a down syndrome kid
Someone help me please, I can't remember the previous seasons. Why does the military hate Eleven so much and want to get her? Wouldn't they want to cooperate with her at this point? She forgave her adoptive father in the previous season I'm pretty sure so what's all the ill-will about
GOD BLESS FRANK DARABONT
>>216196947>thread is 60+ minutes old>only 24 posts for new and final season yiiiiikes
>>216197151Literally the only reason given so far is that the current guy in charge is a sperg who is absolutely convinced 11 is petsonally responsible for everything that's happened.
>>216196947they are so ugly and it's so overacted it makes me physically sick to watchand I'm only 20 minutes in
Why are the demogorgons such pussies now?
Why is tv full of pedos??
I was not very fond of season 4 compared to others, but at least everything with Vecna was fun to watch. There was a good sense of mystery and buildup to who he was exactly. So far, this season is giving me NOTHING. There's no tension or stakes whatsoever, which is baffling considering this is the final season and that the last season ended on a cliffhanger.
Absolute fucking state of Dustin
>>216197151I vaguely remember the black guy was some autist who thought Eleven was the cause of all evil or something in the last season, and I guess Linda Hamilton is here too for the heckin 80s reference
>>216196973they killed off the D&D guy for this smelly dyke :(
>>216197177>thread is 60+ minutes oldits a dead thread but its only been about 20
>>216197197It used to just be that and feet
>>216197200he got that snake killed
>>216197197First episode has Vecna injecting his seed into a boys mouth.
>>216197002
mah kween is as beautiful as ever !
>>216196947What the fuck is Vecna's plan exactly >I'm going to send demogorgons to kidnap Holly>but first the demogorgon needs to beat the shit out of her and throw her around the room >and then it needs to make her watch her parents get horrifically disfigured >and then I'll take her to my lair in the Upside Down which is a cool house Wouldn't Holly be thinking the whole time "holy fuck I just watched my parents get killed what the fuck is happening I'm utterly traumatized?" Instead she's just using an easy-bake oven and having fun like nothing happened. Couldn't he just lure her into the Upside Down normally?
Was there some sort of mandate to have this amount of episodes? There's an insane amount of padding
>>216197198Season 4 was a very deliberate course correction coming off the clusterfuck of 2 and 3.
>>216196947>Do you feel in control?
>Robin practically telling Will to ask Mike outThis is terrible advice to a gay guy in the 80s wing women card revoked
>>216197247probably to pad out subscription numbers for their earning report
>>216197246He's mindfucking her
this whole show is about rape
>>216197247They couldn't come up with 8 episodes worth of story in 3 years?
>>216197300is it you the viewer who have been raped
>>216197247>characters are finally all back in 1 place again like the first season>they do nothing interesting whatsoever
>>216197300The Cure for Gayness (2025)
>>216197197you might as well say that about all 4chins except travel chads
>>216197316Reminder the last ep is 3 hours long kek
>>216197300Actually its about gay sex.
>>216197322i was raped my entire life
About to start ep 4, can someone explain the fantasy world Holly is in? Vecna mind control?
>>216197341>>216197316>>216197247It's definitely a netflix mandate, otherwise I would have to say that these are the worst editors in history
>>216197002he looks like a young Rosie O'Donnell
>>216197341No its not, that was a fake leak. It's shorter than the season 4 finale.
>>216197360I'm assuming it's inside that giant wall in the Upside Down? But then why doesn't Holly seem to care that she just watched a monster kidnap her and kill her parents? I don't know what the fuck is going on honestly
So who's the best actor in the show?
Not enough Steve.
this show fucking sucks
No shirtless Finn. Got his tits out for Hell of a Summer but not for Stranger Things?
>>216197237they are grooming gay zoomers into being grannyfuckers
>>216197423It's the shits but i need to see it end
>>216197283she stole her look from THE JOKERthat's the joke
>>216197442that fucking filename nooooooo lmao
>>216197409that's like asking "who was born with the biggest cock from this gaggle of FtM trannies"
>>216197409The adults are fine, the best is probably among them. The more interesting question is which one is the best of the kids, of which the answer is definitely not Noah Schnapp
>>216197409Genuinely the little girl so far
Millie Bobbie Brown is actually not too bad of an actress considering how retarded she is in real life. She's like JLaw where it's instinctive and not because she cares about the art or works hard at it
>>216197409Hollybut that's probably because shes the only one that seems to have an actual arc so far
Why do you people still watch this garbage, it peaked at season 1 and now it's just for fat girls who smell bad in a bad way
the young african american gentleman's relationship with max completely takes me out of this shit. zero chemistry
Going to watch episode 4 tomorrow My review is that fucking nothing interesting has happened so far besides Holly getting kidnapped and that takes up about 10% of screentime so really these first 3 episodes are a 1/10
listen folx. If youre watching this show on the night of its release 5 seasons in, youre a superfan. yes that means you. so accept multimillionire megafamous actors dont need to emote and move on so you can enjoy product, ok?
>>216197493Holly actress or maybe Caleb and Sadie. Definitely not Noah or Finn, juries out on Millie so far
>>216197579why did you crop out her barefeet?
>>216197542The dumb dream world stuff is the worst part of the season. It feels like a completely different show and is a waste of screentime where something, literally anything, could be happening instead.
>evil scientist cunt looks like Ursula von der Leyen, with her signature haircutthey ruined even the baddies, lol
Who's winning the Nancybowl?
>A Wrinkle in Timewe're definitely getting time travel this season, aren't we?
I clicked through the episodes. There are still no new monster designs! How the fuck have they spent so much money and they just have the demogorgon and vecna which is basically just a dude.
>>216197607Jonathan and Nancy overdosing on coke and dying at the end of season 5 is canon
>>216197115She looks like charlie kirk
>>216197646face blindness is a sign of rape trauma
>>216197654no it just means hes brown
>>216197620They wouldn't stoop THAT low.......right?
how did they drop the ball so hardwhat the fuck man
I wish I had a daughter like Holly
>>216197607mike. we're getting incestkino this season
>>216197646how old is she supposed to be? she looks like 13 or something how did this character age so fast
>>216197633imagine if we had to watch this on TV and couldn't shuttle or skip
>>216197115cute. and...
>>216197197>Why is tv full of pedos??jeetcels
>>216197697runny?
>>216197672Am I just being a Debby Downer or does everyone else agree this season is utter shit so far
I got an hour left in episode four and so far essentially nothing has happened in this first part of the season other than Holly is now my favorite character and I really want to see Uma Thurman Jr. ragdoll her new gf after seeing their height difference.
>>216197732the pacing is completely fucking way off, like way way offthe performances are mostly phoned in and the dialogue sounds like it was written by AI and there are constant cringe moments, constant.
What fucking middle school science class is lecturing about Einstein-Rosen bridges and wormholes?
>>216197732It's utter dross
Will confesses his love to Mike and Mike murders him in a homophobic hate crime as would be the standard response for the time.
>>216197732>>216197750furthermore, dustin got beat up and then we just dont hear anything about that again, despite people being near hospital and in contact with eachother.
>>216197526I hope millie shows butthole like JLaw
>>216197784>he didn't see the leaks
luckily i have years of watching nonsensical anime so the plot confusion runs off me like water.
>>216197738see? this is why so many shows are anti-white, anti-christian, anti-male etc.it's hard to make anything when you can't offend anyonebut don't worry, the fight against communism & co. and animal-like behavior is coming back
>>216197732I mean just look at how dead this thread is. Not too many fans of this show left who aren't teenage girls
>>216197436they're keeping the goodies for the finale
what are the normies saying about itwhats the public reaction to this so far
Hopper sure got over being pierced through the side of the abdomen like Christ pretty quicklyI'm no expert but that seems like precisely the kind of wound that would only get worse from walking several miles
Will this season go down with the last season of Game of Thrones?
they really had to put those red shorts on millie to keep her ass and fat pussy from distracting the audience I guess
>>216197829They love anything in this show so they're all probably positive
>>216197829oh my god oh my god stranger things i love stranger things :DDD !! omg steve is so dreamy but jonathan is still so mysterious who will nancy choose ? ::DD oh no a demigorgon! :ooo :(( domt die hopper !!
>>216197858certainly feels like it
Does episode 4 make things better or should I just drop the season here lol I wasted my night
>>216197870>>216197872please, i already want to walk off a cliffjust tell me if you see any of the normies being the slightest bit critical in any way
>>216197197Lurk moar
Just finished the second episode, i hate how this retarded show pretends it has mysteries and then hit you with the most obivous "twist" you can imagine. Like oh my who knew Vecna was returning woaaah no one saw that coming, my mind is blown!
>>216197887Universally positive so far. I'm guessing episode 4 is the only non-dogshit episode so far I'll hold my judgment until I watch it tomorrow I guess
Mike chose a paladin figureine to represent hopper. I think thats fair. the black one is probably a fighter. what are the other characters classes?
So what is the time travel twist the season is going to end with? Will decides to Donnie Darko himself and die from the beginning?
>>216197943thanks. not glad to hear that however.
>>216197920you'll never guess that Max is also basically fully alive and totally fine and it's presumably just a matter of her finding a portal to walk through to end up back in her comatose body
i'm not watching this crap, did they kill off the dad for sure?
I feel more embarrassed watching this than anime and cartoons
does millie naked this season?
>>216197949>Season opens with a de-aged Will>All these references to time like Back to the Future, A Wrinkle in Time, etc>teacher talks about wormholes I swear to God if they actually end this shit with time travel
Feels like they are talking a lot but saying nothing
Gay bullshit status?
>>216197829their reaction is whatever their bossy obnoxious "friend" with problem glasses says it should be
>>216197949>Will decides to Donnie Darko himself and die from the beginning?would be kino because this show sucks and the show writing itself out of existence would be a net positive
>>216197732I'm just bored. I think the original idea of the show being anthological was far more interesting.
>>216197247It's crazy they only get 8 episodes per season and there's still so much filler
Oh shit they bought back Bob! from the dead!
>>216197998pretty gay
>>216197983Eleven sacrificing herself to reset the timeline so none of it ever happened always made the most sense for the finale.
>>216197385That's just damage control they wouldn't be releasing it in theaters otherwise.
>>216198018These characters are not nearly interesting enough to warrant all these faggot subplots. Will and Mike did nothing of note the last season
>>216198007I think tying it some weird poorly thought-out alternate dimension with random flesh monsters was also a bad ideaIf not completely anthological with a new cast every season, it should've been like season 1: werewolves, season 2: vampires, etc. where there's generally cemented rules to follow so shit doesn't spiral out of control and render past seasons totally irrelevant because of retcons
>>216198018this is rape
>>216197732I think we all knew it would be
>>216198018He's so fucking hot
hollybros..
>>216198061I already had an inkling of wanting to make them kiss with AI but they ended up giving me the perfect shot to use for it, so now I just have to
>>216197943Not paid bots and shills. Call up someone you know IRL and ask them.
>>216198018Reddie is the blueprint
>>216197882Skip to the last 10 minutes. The rest is hokey bullshit.
>>216197732Pacing seems weird. Also seems kind of directionlessFinal scene of episode 4 should have been closer to what episode 1 or 2 should have been in terms of scale and urgency. Also having will be eleven 2.0 is kind of gay, he should have instead been in actual control of the upside down creatures
>>216198018The jew snozzes are on full display.
>>216198091I don't know people IRL
>>2161981054 hours is quite a long time to sit through in order for something interesting to finally happen. At least season 4 got things started right off the bat with Vecna killing Chrissy
This 9 year old girl is not actually 45
Holly is the only thing keeping me on board.
>>216198130I lol'd when he stabbed her friend with the needle why was that so over the top
>>216198042God i wish
>>216198018Byler is unconfirmed
>>216198141Not got that far yet, hopefully something to look forward too lol
a charlie kirk and iryna reference. how! :(???
>>216198141I also thought that was funny, but I don't find the parts where she's an annoying bitch to people funny at all, but the writers really seem to
>>216198174He should really stop playing gay/bi characters if it bothers him
somebody clearly thought this fat kid was the funniest kid actor they've ever seen because they're giving him a lot of shit to dobut he sucks
Was this show always so poorly paced and written? I remember season 1 at least being some good tv. The last couple minutes of episode 4 was some bullshit straight out of the final act of a Venom movie.
this thing is a fraud
You know it's bad so far when not even Steve is carrying this show anymore
>>216198239Wrming up to S1 being the only good part
Did you miss her /tv/?
>>216198241What is this thing even good at? It gets shanked by a drunk wine mom but then it can tank machine guns.
45% of the dialogue consists of explanations about how something works in the extremely convoluted mechanics of the upside down/vecna. Another 45% is dedicated to discussing plans. And then 10% is forced in as contrived character stuff that doesn’t work because the other 90% has turned what were once actual characters into interchangeable pawns designed to move the plot forward. I defended the show a lot but this is rough stuff, Duffers are in over their heads trying to explain this world they created.
This 30 year old child cant act.
So Will had to become full gay to become one of the most powerful telekinetics in the show? If not the most powerful.I thought he was just going to be able to warg the Demogorgons and I still think that would make a lot more sense.
>>216198018So where are they going with this? They're not breaking Mike and El up. But bigging up Wills hopes only to have him get rejected is taking the sufferboy memes to next level. Fujoshis would torch netflix hq.
>>216198174>which you know... you think what you want, that's fineFinn being very careful with words to not get cancelled
>>216198299Will or El is going to die, survivor gets Mike.
>>216198276It's really bad. But it doesn't even matter. Give the normies cool moments like in episode 4 >>216198284 no matter how shit 90% of the rest of the show is, and they'll be satisfied. Even the critics will somehow lap up the show. The Duffers know this so they don't even put effort into anything else
>>216198284>Sansa... the rape
>>216198299either Steve fucks him or they conjure some fag out of nowhere
>>216198284>FOR ISRAEL!
>>216198276Never seen a show coast off the success of the 1st season as much as this one. It is astonishing how much more compelling everything was in that season compared to what we're getting now
>>216198284>YOU GOYS NEED TO SUPPORT JEWS
>>216198284To be fair Millie got an emmy nom in s1 for doing that move. So never say never.
>>216198356I even liked the second season. 3 was noticeably worse and 4 wasn’t as bad as i was expecting considering the 2 to 3 drop off but that just gave me false hope. This season so far is steaming hot dog shit. But they’ve already shackled me so now i have to see what happens to these hallowed out characters
>>216198270lmao people would actually need a flashback for her
I made almost half the posts in this thread and I've never watched the show
>>216198467Just glad it's ending, you can really see at this point how much soul has been sucked out of everything, there is no interesting character drama whatsoever in this season so far which even season 4 managed to do with the Vecna stuff at least.
The actress who plays Holly's really charming. I wouldn't have minded a full season of her going out on a horror adventure
>>216198284I just realized that now there's nothing Mike can do to stop him.
It has been 3 years or whatever since I watched Season 4, but why am I supposed to believe that Eleven won't just bitch slap Vecna again?
>>216198284How a Jew looks at a 5 year old Palestinian child when they throw a rock at a tank
>>216198284Imagine meltdown if Will and Robin die.
>>216198513She really only did that back when she sent him to another dimension. At the end of season 4 she just barely held him off in the mind battle while everyone else attacked his minions and real body. And they still lost despite all of that.
THIS IS DUNGEON MASTER TO SCOUT BATTALION DO YOU COPY OVER?
the writers have no clue what to do with all these characters
>>216198270Im less bothered because she's only there to die to save will and el and die instead.
>>216198239>Was this show always so poorly paced and written?no, it wasntbut the complete mess this season is proves that they were making it up as they went along and this is what happens
>>216198499holy moly
>>216197753When a sassy no nonsense science nerd girl is your student, you have to up your game.
So what was the point of Dustin getting his ass beat? Seems like they just wasted everybody's time with that. None of it really mattered to the plot and I don't see it coming up again.
>can't figure out what to do with will for 3 seasons>make him a god
Does Eleven look old
>>216198299Watch ep 4
best girl btw
>>216198664yes, holly is
>>216198638She could pass as my mom
>>216198690pedo
>>216198664you could park a 747 there
>>216198664>>216198690I'm better
>>216198695Well she is somebody's mom.y'know...legally.
Finished episode 4. Unfortunately there will be nothing to talk about for the next month besides the last scene of the episode because so far nothing of note has occurred in this season
>>216198577Yeah and when you can actually see them struggling to juggle each characters screen time with the pacing, it takes you out. It’s frustrating because since S3, there’s been pockets of a great show. Where everything works. And then they have to show another characters scenario or force plot development and you realize they’re in over their heads
The gay kids balls dropped thats good atleast
>>216198698not an argument
im fully checked out at this pointone too many over-explained exposition segmentswhat a fucking mess, trulyso so boring
>Every other season opened with them at school, and Steve and Robin goofing around, etc. but this season will be different, I swear, guys! All action from the very first minute! It will pick up right where we left off! BIGGEST SEASON EVER!>1 hour episode of them sitting around doing nothing until the last 10 minutes>even then they just sit around too while Will now has Demovision>timeskip lol ain't gotta explain shit>they just put some fucking blankets over the giant gates>not a single monster came out of itWhat did the Duffers mean by this?
Possibly a hot take but Millie is cute and hot and i like her voice and i like her and i like seeing her on my screen
>>216198638>>216198695
holy shit this is awful
>>216198698rude
>>216198284>the guy we've done nothing with since s2 other than have him want to get his bussy annihilated by Mike is now the most powerful guy on the planetSure why not at this point.
How many episodes remaining?
>>216198018>tfw no Luca Guadagnino movie starring these two having gay sex for 3 hours
>>216198297Pretty sure he can only interact with upside down mobs.
>>216198715>because so far nothing of note has occurred in this season>Eleven cheated on Mike with Dustin>Steve and Nancy are revealed to be twins>Will died>Max and Vecna are going to fist fight in the next episodeSpeedwatchers I swear.
>>216197753Yeah, and he tried to explain wormholes without folded paper and pencil too
>>216198664What the FUCK? Where is that? Max wakes up?
>>2161987943 more and then something they’re calling “the finale” which i imagine will be nearly 3 hours.
>>216198757for FUCK SAKE
>>216198823That is all in episode 4. The first 3 are boring as fuckin shit
>>216198762try watching the other 4 seasons.
it's so hilarious that not only is matarazzo horrifically ugly, but he's also a manlet and the other three are all like 10 inches taller than him now
I used to LOVE this show, bros. Even season 3. But this is shockingly terrible, the acting is so bad it's surreal. What the fuck happened? They waited too long to film this? They were given too much money?
Why did Vecna talk all that shit to Will and then not kill him? Did he just really want to call him a bitch?
>>216198893he has a cute long term gf and you dont
>>216198893he also has a weird woman upper body shape because of his no shoulder bones
Total snoozefest so far. Hopefully episode 4 will redeem the whole thing
Let me guess. Everyone is still alive.
>>216198893he has a disorder man
11 + 8 + 1 (will) = 20 = crit success roll
>>216198690>>216198499there is seriously wrong with her makeupit's like they painted brown or grey around her mouth and her chin... like a subliminal mustache and beard lolpretty fuckin disgusting if you ask me
>>216198952everyone was raped
I'm only finishing up the first episode right now but has the acting always been this bad? Is the whole cast phoning it in or is it less believable because they're all in their 20s acting like kids?
is vecna a pedophile?
>>216198664Imagine the smell
>>216198967I just hope Dustin sleeps with Nancy. The most kino couple.
>>216198986They’re definitely phoning it in now, but Will in particular has never been a good actor so that’s why he’s atrocious
>omg we destroyed a wall of wine bottles>how fun it is to destroy other people's work>WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE hehe>we so ugly! let's become lesbians and disgust everybody!I hope everybody involved in this shitshow will be rounded up and shipped off to a concentration camp where they will be made useful for all the grief they have caused and things they destroyed
>>216198986>I'm only finishing up the first episode right now but has the acting always been this badSort of, with a few exceptions. But they were kids so nobody cared, now it's jarring. This is B-level stuff.
>>216198952doesn't matterthey're probably going to do the donnie darko/butterfly effect endingexcept the homosexual will say "no" when the other jewboy asks him if he wants to be friends
kino height difference for lesbian sex
waited 3 years for 4 hours of filler
>>216199012You will never be white
>>216198908manlets rise up
>>216198969dungeon master...
>>216199049>willI don't need to
Episode 1 was garbage. Are the other 3 any good? Does Max wake up? I can't be arsed to watch if it's all boring talking shit like the first ep
>>216198893
currently torrenting this shitis vecna still a little bitch? mindflayer was much more interesting villain
>>216199081in 2 and 3 nothing happens, I'm at 4 now
They brought back the retarded sister, all the memes were true what the fuck
>>216199092>in 2 and 3 nothing happensSo the Duffers LIED to us, bros
Holly has now achieved S Tier in character rank, joining Billy and Matthew Modine
>>216198967That's how you get powers in ST world apparently going by Will and Vecnas fun times and the """lab"""" El and the Indian grew up in.
>>216199090>mindflayer was much more interesting villainYeah man, nothing says interesting like an intelligent hivemind whose endgame is to turn itself into a giant, lumbering retarded asshole meat demon.The only semi-interesting villain is Brenner, who should've been the main character in a series of anthology storylines.

>>216197247>>216197324>>216197368Netflix has literally nothing else going for them. Stranger Things is their last IP of any note after SG chugged a bottle of bleach and took a toaster bath, so they're probably desperate to milk this season for everything it's worth.
>>216199125if Steve ends up with Nancy by the end, he will return to S tier like he was in the first season
>>216199267He'd be SSS tier if they go completely off the rails and have Robin fall in love with him by the end.
>>216199291they absolutely can't let Nancy be with Jonathan, that would be the ultimate bad ending
>dipshit's family gets kidnapped and never brought up againSurely they would've suffocated with those bags on their heads by now
>>216197607At this point they should just make it Stonathan and throw the fujos a bone
That ending was fucking kino. Will is so fucking kino bros.
>>216199304Nancy's too much of a cold fish for a guy like SteveHe does actually need a non-dyke version of Robin who can access his goofier, low maintenance side without being so intimidated by the chad aura that she lets him walk all over her and ends up resenting him in two months
>>216199081You can genuinely skip to episode 4 if you just keep in mind >Vecna kidnaps Holly>Tries to go after other kids but the gang sabotage his plans while Eleven is in the Upside Down with Hopper>Max reappears in Upside Down It’s not worth the hours of filler, I’m serious this shit has been so lame besides episode 4
>>216199323possible endings>Jonathan dies, Nancy returns to Steve>Jonathan admits he's a massive fuckup, Nancy returns to Steve>Robin's gets written out, she gets with Steve>Argyle returns and creates a harem of Nancy, Robin and Karen Wheeler
NOOOOOO
>>216199291This
>>216199324Ep 5 is just him tentacle raping Mike into love and submission
>>216199359THE QUEEN IS BACK!
>>216199355Think harder. Media today is designed to demoralize. Nancy will end up with nobody at the end.
What happened to retrowave / synthwave / futuresynth etc. bros, I remember it being huge in 2010-2015 (like radio play and parties and live concerts and shit) and then the only revival of it was Stranger Things... almost forgot it but the music in these episodes reminded meEvery cloud has a silver lining lol
Dipshit Derek playing the arcade version of Ghosts ‘n Goblins on an NES. Why couldn’t they just use the actual NES game?
>>216199386better than ending with Jonathan because he's lying to her and he's a complete fuckupI've hated him since season 1
I think Steve's most probably ending, assuming he doesn't die because they do always almost kill him at the end of every season and maybe this time they'l just go all the way, is a repeat of whichever season ended with him and Robin working at the video store and being best friends, only they'd get an apartment together in Indianapolis or something
>>216199398I noticed this and it pissed me off, how could they make such an amateurish mistake? If they couldn’t get the rights to use the game then why not just have him play a different NES game?
>>216199397Because 99% of modern synthwave stuff is pretty fucking awful.
>>216199397The Dungeons & Dragons movie from a two/three years ago had a weird amount of synthwave in the soundtrack
>>216199423Steve will reincarnate as Johnathan and Nancy's daughter.
So how is it that the kids and their Home Alone shenanigans can completely fuck up a Demogorgon but an entire barracks full of armed soldiers can't even scratch it?
I’m confused. Does Will have the same powers as eleven or is it because of the upside down?
>>216199351>>216199081>miss the kino cinematography>miss the single shot scenes>miss the goat soundtrack>miss the heartwarming eleven/hopper coalescence>miss the team kidnapping>miss the lesbian saying "I like dick"Yeah I don't know it's all been pretty great to me, man.
>will gets raped in the mouth and pumped full of vecna's juice as a child>grows up to be gaywhat did they mean by this?
>>216199397The Weeknd is number 1 on Spotify and makes synthwave albums
will rapes mike in episode 5
>>216199469Because if UD He's essentially a horcrux since Vecna impregnated him... we'll see where they go with that.
>>216199397I'm hoping we get numetal and buttrock revival next as part of a 2000s nostalgia trend
>>216199474I've said from the beginning that he would turn out gay because he was abducted and raped as a child
>>216199473>miss the heartwarming eleven/hopper coalescencelmaoit is PLAIN to see in their acting that they do in fact fucking hate each other in real lifeall their scenes feel rigid and tense even when they're supposed to be getting along, it was the only thing keeping me mildly interested in that otherwise completely boring plotline
>>216199474And got powers from it
>robin saying she likes dickForeshadowing?
>>216199514her gf just needs to die and steve needs to save her life once again and maybe, just maybealso what the fuck happened to dustin's HAM radio gf? if he's this depressed about eddie dying there should've been some dialogue about he isn't talking to her anymore or something
>>216199542writers forgot
>>216199477that's vecna though
Will being gay was awfully contrived but whatever
>>216199444>modern synthwave stuffi don't even know what you are saying, zoom zoom, synthwave is a modern genre>99% is pretty fucking awfulyou are saying that like house and techno is was 98% awful lol>>216199476>>216199451Thanks, will check>>216199497As long as it's not dubstep, I'm fine with it
>>216199583It literally wasn’t. They’ve been hinting at it since the first season.
>You have superpowers but at the cost of being gayWould you accept such a deal?
>>216198275Good at being a lazy bad guy plot device
>>216199599/tv/ users are really autistic and for all they squeaul about show don't tell couldn't even figure it out lady season when he was sobbing out of car windows.
>>216199474>>216199501They already teased that he was a butt muncher in the very first episode, before he was groomed, so it's not Vecna's fault or a retcon.>Joyce: Lonnie... Lonnie used to say he was queer. Called him a fag.>Jim: ...Is he?It's genuinely hard to imagine that a show with a first season full of dialogue and tone bordering on Stephen King tier (for better or worse) became so fucking awful. It's like every line after S1 is either nonsensical exposition or a meta gotcha line with the character looking at the camera. Everybody became Dustin.
>>216199644the first season was something special because it was originalthen netflix producers forced them to abandon the anthology concept and do more of the same
>>216199597https://youtu.be/i4ZuseKFBF0?si=DbPqDX1SmHca0UIf
The Nancy love triangle is the dumbest plot line here by a mile and the worst part is neither of them are going to win. She’s going to come to the conclusion that she’s a strong independent woman and doesn’t need either of them or whatever bs. I don’t understand why they didn’t close the book when she got with Johnathon.
>>216199644They’ve been building up his faggotry but the point is that it doesn’t feel thematically relevant at all considering we’re 5 seasons into this show and only now Will has something important to do. The majority of characters in this show besides Steve are afterthoughts past season 1
>>216199599You can’t possibly expect me to remember the plot of the first scene let alone subtle hints
>>216199697Jonathan having a ring he hasn't given her is a death flag
>>216199662First season was at least trying to be horror that was what made it good. 2-4 were comedy and very light horror and now 5 they entirely replaced horror with action slop.
>>216199677too gay
>>216199716Good point
What was that thing on hoppers chest? Was he a robot?
>>216199726I liked parts of the horror in 4 because peoples guilt caught up to them2 and 3 had minimal horror in themevil monsters do not constitute horror
>omg bro s5 is taking so long because all the episode are over 2 hours long!!>first 4 are all barely an hour
>>216199748I do not remember season 2 AT ALL besides the Indian chick episode because it stuck out so much
>>216199709>and only now Will has something important to doI mean he was literally at the center of the story for season 1 and 2 but ok.
>>216199768He went missing in season 1 and was barely on screen, and in season 2 he just yelled and drew pictures
>>216199748You're right. Its been a while since I've watched any of the previous seasons because they took forever. I still think the only thing that made it good was the horror element in season 1 and 4, an anthology would've been great.
>>216199726season 4 started strong with the cheerleader death and the reveal that there was actually a guy behind it allbut find Vecna all that threatening when he got beat by Eleven, and that time Max just reached out and yanked on one of his neck tubes or whatever and that fucked him up so bad she was able to escape
>>216199662There was mystery and suspense in the first season. This season is just cgi and mediocre jumpscares. The director is a hack.
>>216199779Vecna in general was shit. Should've left it at an inter dimensional monster or the mind flayer not some autistic whos mad at a little girl.
>>216199765James Cameron put an S at the end of the title an there were lots of evil dog monstersWill was a sleeper agent for the hive mindthey killed Sean Astin at the end
>>216199709I agree. That being said, Steve is absolutely the worst case of being an afterthought, especially when you factor in that he was supposed to be killed in S1. He hasn't progressed or done anything notable since S2 and even then thematically it was just retreading (dragging out) his redemption that had already happened somewhat awkwardly in S1.The whole show is an afterthought after S1. Hopper is really the only one who continues to unfold and even then if you cut out the fat his entire arc and background over four seasons could be wrapped up in a tight 90 minutes.
>S1-2 Steve>Stereotypical chad bully, controlling bf, bad for Nancy, etc.>S3 Steve>Chill fun dude, bff with Dustin>S4-5>Writers completely forget about old Steve and want this one to be with Nancy, Johnathon gets swept under the rugLike Will’s arc in this season, Steve is best when he’s not revolving around a girl
>>216199788>jumscaresNot even its jumpscare sound effects every 10 seconds and marvel movie action scenes
>>216199829Chrissy was supposed to be Steve’s gf in season 4, but the writers changed their mind. I don’t get why
>>216199709>>216199827Oh yeah, but with all that, I'm glad Joe Keery is making money off of this shitshow. He's a great musician unironically and I hope he never bothers with acting again, or is at least very selective about it. He's genuinely better than all of this shit, including his character.
>>216199662>>216199788The first season worked because the supernatural was fairly lightly touched on, the more they explored and added "antagonists" to it the worse it got. Like the Demogorgon as this weird entity native to the other dimension worked. The Demogorgon(s) as bumbling servants to some human psychic dude are fucking lame.
>>216199841Steve is a normal white guy he has to be a cuck to a lesbian while the nerdy outcast gets the popular girl. Totally not the writers fantasy
i thought s4 ended in a world ending thing and now everything is suddenly fine
>>216199797Henry(001) is a cool character but the idea of him being behind everything little thing since season 1 is dumb. The Mind Flayer should’ve been its own thing and the upside down should be way more mysterious and full of depth. Also killing off Papa was dumb.
I remember when the upside down was still mysterious and scary. I remember when it was lovecraftian. I remember when it wasn’t just used as a prop to make a Voldemort expy. The modern writer’s need to explain, and write some hyper detailed lore and interconnected history is the absolute bane of lovecraftian horror. I feel like this is the second or third time I’ve seen something originally presented as lovecraftian be slowly turned into slop by sequels and cash grabs
>>216199829>>216199841>>216197872it's fascinating what you girls care about
>>216199870I liked the idea vecna was the mind flayers general but they dropped that halfway through s4 for this shit.
>>216199864The writers changed their mind and now the only thing that apparently happened in that cliffhanger is that everyone got covid and need to be quarantined in Hawkins
>>216199841Because they wanted some awkward subplot about Glen Powell on a manhunt for Eddie, but they didn't have the gonads to turn Steve (or Lucas, for that matter) into a misguided hero. So they just made up a new """character""" who has like fifteen minutes of screentime to hunt after another """character""" who has no discernible purpose in the story other than to act as a sacrificial lamb.
>>216199890>>216199870I don’t remember. Do they say that Vecna controls the Mindflayer? Where even is the Mindflayer after season 3?
>>216199876Like, why does the upside down have to be explained? Why can’t it just be some strange and unfathomable place, a part of reality man was never meant to access? Why does it need an origin? Why can’t we just slowly but surely encounter more and more of a menagerie of its monstrous inhabitants rather than have it all be to fight some moustache twirling villain? And every single monster is just a demogorgon. Demogorgon dog, demogorgon bird, demogorgon demogorgon. The creativity is absolutely atrocious
>>216199900I think it was an extension of vecna. It seems like they dropped the idea of it entirely because they're shitty writers and had no plan.
>>216199918Maybe if the show actually spent some time developing the upside down as a mystery instead of making it 75% just expository dialogue, I would understand or remember any of this shit
>>216199900It was some kind of aberration in the upside down that Vecna gave form via his fascination with spiders. Died in S3. Vecna reveals himself afterwards in S4.
>>216199900He found a bunch of energy floating around and made the mind flayer out of it.
>>216199876Never really found the Upside Down to be all that scary considering a ten year-old survives it by lightly jogging away from the singular, retarded entity that inhabits it.Honestly, showing the Upside Down and establishing all of the mechanics behind it is the big flaw of S1. Especially since the rules kind of bend whenever the writers needed it to, I.E. there's a gate, but also the demoman can just kind of enter the world wherever he wants.Shit's pretty fucking gay.
So is Will officially the same breed as 001, 008, 011 now or are his powers an offshoot of Vecna / the upside down?
>>216199955God this bitch is so annoying.
>>216199928The show has far too many characters, and far too much fanservice. I’m gonna be a chud schizo incel and unironically blame them pandering to women because you can tell this slop was written with them in mind. I don’t know how to explain it, but the story is far, far more heavily defined by the relationships between characters and their interaction than by events and mysteries those characters involve themselves in, which is the narrative format more preferred by the feminine mind. I remember how different discussion was when only season 1 was out. The audience (and probably writers too) were far more male in composition
>>216199891it's always a sign of good showrunners when they drastically alter whole character arcs for outside reasons like liking actors or whatever and don't even bother to consider the ramifications on the actual fucking storyThey kept Steve because they liked the actorThey fucking kept Billy because they liked the actor too, and then made him not a villain anymore only to then have be possessed so he could be a villain again but it wouldn't be his faultI'm sure they probably wish they could go back and not kill Eddie given how popular he ended up being as a character
>>216199966
>>216199932My problem is that the gaps between seasons takes so long I don’t remember anything in the show anymore. I forgot how the Upside Down somehow leads to the Soviet Union too or how they’re involved. Or really, what Vecna’s whole goal in this show is to begin with
>>216199980They refuse to kill anyone off. They killed one side character and made it a big deal but they keep adding more its so gay.
>>216199952It was always implied there was more creatures in it. Remember the giant egg the demo was eating out of? I swear we heard background sounds from stuff at some points too. It does not need to be chock full of nightmares. A lower density of horrors is honestly probably good for suspense and mystery, if you throw too many monsters in it just becomes pure action with no time for anything else
>>216199966imagine that one of these human-donkey hybrids, fueled by their ugliness and hatred for mankind, can brainwash classrooms full of innocent children with LGBT trash>mandatory education>there's not one for every classroom but 3-4>plus the racial minorities and the psychopaths
>>216199514>>216199542>>216199697What pisses me off is, supposedly, the original script in season 3 *was* for Steve and Robin to end up together, thus all the obvious hints throughout the season up until a certain point. It was because the script was still heading that way until Maya Hawk opened her dumb bitch mouth and suggested Robin be a carpetmuncher instead to the Duffers who apparently "loved it" and therefore mid-season retconned already-filmed hints toward the then-original ending of Stobin endgame into some virtue signalling shit, likely because they would have been cancelled if they stuck to their guns. It was leading up to be a perfect Stobin ending, and they had to fuck it up, which obviously leaves Steve by himself and thus the writers force him to start pining for Nancy again.Stobin was (and still is) my #1 ship and they fucked it
Are they building up Will to become the overarching antagonist? Like, is the series going to end with him reforming the "real" world as his own dimension, where he's the DM and Mike is his gay lover?
fuck me nancy is ugly she's like sydney harwin but somehow uglier
>>216200007Exactly! And that’s one of the big reasons why I think it’s female-pandering. Male audiences don’t build nearly as many parasocial obsessions with all these side characters and how they all relate to each other, don’t fret nearly as much when they die. The constant need for more “omg who’s gonna end up with Nancy Steve or Jonathan” and stuff like that is a female desire, not male Netflix is mostly female in audience, after all.
Did they say in season 4 that Vecna created the upside down while trapped in the black void dimension or whatever, or am I misremembering?
>let's make a loud sound effect whenever someone picks something up or puts something
The Gorge took the concept and raped it to death, with actual attractive humans who are not cringe when they act like teenagers.They should have pulled the plug on Stranger Things, even if it was done by then, and burn the negatives.
>>216200060Something like that. Apparently there’s now a third dimension (fourth counting the shadow realm?) and that’s where he took all the monsters from to populate the upside down
>>216200050I like it when characters I like get killed off, I like it when characters I don't like get killed off. That was the good thing about the walking dead they had the balls to kill people for a few seasons. Stranger things might as well be a gay sitcom at this point.
>>216200037If the writers have any courage yes
>>216200009Bit of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.>There aren't any more monstersA bit weird, considering it's purportedly a mirror image of the real world and has parallels to D&D's underworld, full of demons and shit.>There are more monstersAnd somehow this nigga just keeps running and escaping from everything for like a week or however long the first S1 plays out over. Either way, the whole concept comes off as a joke. Better to not show it at all, let alone have the characters talk about it and actively explore it. Only should have ever implied it.I genuinely don't even remember if it was ever explained how Will originally escaped. Like, he got kidnapped by the wibbity wobbity, and then... what? Did he have some pepper spray on him?
wouldn't mind taking her out for some ice cream on the beach
>>216200060>>216200076I thought it was the other way around, that he got sent to the Upside Down by Eleven and then escaped, somehow, but become infatuated with it and decided to remake it, somehow, with the creation of Dimension X.Fuck me this shit is gayer than Bleach with how convoluted and nonsensical all of its realms are.
>>216200097Will spent most of his time hiding in his cubby house, not running around. The demo just hadn’t found himI’m still mad we haven’t seen whatever giant thing must have laid that egg. Though I know if we do it’ll just be a demogorgon dinosaur or something equally lacking in creativity
>>216199870I agree with this, the retcons in season 4 make it really hard to enjoy, care about, or accept as the believable continuation from the lore built in 1 - 3. However, season 5 and 4 in a vacuum together, season 5 is definitely an entertaining and intriguing continuation, in my opinion. Doesn't mean it's all good together looking at everything; it almost feels like s1 - 3 are a different universe.
>>216200124Nah, shadow realm, found dimension x which is its own entire separate thing unrelated to earth and the UD, then either turned the shadow realm into the UD and filled it with stuff from DX or created the UD separate and then filled it with DX stuff
>>216200124I thought I remembered the initial "reveal" that 001 was Vecna was him being shot into the negative zone and he became Vecna and he was explaining how he "made" the upside down with his powers
I hate both the mind flayer and vecna. Introducing a big bad in control of the entire dimension just inherently limits it in so ways no matter what said big bad is. I wish the MF was just some random creature among many. And vecna was just some psychic that sheltered in the UD and was corrupted by it rather than anybody important to it.
You people who are saying it's bad are out of your mindsThese four episodes were excellent
Why was the demogorgon that was able to take shots from a fucking AFV unharmed hurt by broken glass?>>216200172I’m glad you’re enjoying your slop
>>216200172They were objectively not at all. You are just trained to celebrate mediocrity
>>216200172This bait is so bad but I'm glad its working for you.
>>216200081I've always compared it more like a British period/character drama, akin to Downton Abbey.The difference is that show is upfront about what it is: a drama about an ensemble cast set in a period. Stranger Things keeps trying to pretend it's a horror series and it's just not. At all. It's a will-they, won't-they soap opera with scooby-doo "mysteries" that are revealed to the viewer hours in advance of the characters we then watch "unravel" the supposed mystery through bullshit conveniences and leaps in logic.Oh yeah, and Downton Abbey had the fucking balls to kill or write off major characters consistently. Not nearly as many as they probably should have, but it was still enough to add tension.The Duffer Sisters are complete, utter, talentless fags.
>>216200172Holly is the only good thing in this season, and not just because she's cute, it's because she's in an entirely fucking different show than everyone else and it actually worksEverything else is tired as fuck, we've seen it before, often multiple times
>>216197869>red shortsshe looks like some senile grandma who forgets how to dress and pulls her panties over her trousers
>>216200133>The demo just hadn’t found himIsn't the demo what brought him there in the first place?
>>216200189Season 1 was trying to be a mystery at least. I think the writers are all fags and they were really tying to do horror at first and were naturally drawn to making a soap opera.

>>216200150>>216200158I'm so tired of this shit man, I just want Billy back. They should've made him the main antagonist. Just give me an anime sword fight between him and Steve for the finale. Fuck the rest of this shit.
>>216200211Yeah, he gave it the slip somehow
Did they have to sexualize Holly so much? This is wrong, man.
>>216200313>Did they have to sexualize Holly so much?Yes, I was one of the writers and they gave me free reign over her storyline.
>>216200313it's all relativein fact I think she was desexualized, with all those colorful clothes and this issue >>216198965only a bona fide pedophile or a jeet could like her... and their activity has nothing to do with sexuality, they are more about power and corruption
