season 3 editionold >>217037446
I too am in this season
>>217038549Nancy was proven right. girls mature as they get older :0
Why didn't will just put the wormhole in his ass
>>217038549>season 3 mind flayerwhy they nerd so bad?
Will making sure everyone knew he was gay didn’t factor into the finale at all.
>>217038549Any webm requests?
>wrote this in 2022So I guess I was right at the 11th hour?
>>217038573Who knew all Dustin had to do was make a cringe speech about dnd and conformity to get sluts wet
>>217038597Will being gay was the key to all this.Gay Will is a funnier character than we've ever seen before.
>>217038549So why does the US Military let them all go rather than send them all to some blacksite for actual treason?
> we could be heroes just for one day
NUCLEAR COPE happening on r/Bylerhttps://old.reddit.com/r/byler/
>>217038573It's actually was a nice nod.
>>217038615Because Will came out to them and they were afraid theyd get aids
>>217038549so did they ever explain why holly was so into josh BBC? weird shit to bring up. like what so good about interracial relationships
Eleven was on the truck when they opened it. You can even see her getting pulled off the back of it in the next shot after this. How the fuck do any of the 2 possible outcomes even happen?
>>217038610>you need to stop conforming to those standards and conform to my standards insteadso much was learned like I don't even
>>217038608>the 'king' made flesh... jobs to some kids, on foot, with some spicy water and a boomsticksir i do not think you were right
>>217038615They were running black ops and would invite unnecessary scrutiny since they can longer operate with El presumably dead. They likely gave them a deal in return for a gag order
>>217038608They injected him with retard pills>Abyss is fucking empty>All he does is facefuck a wall and kill no one>Tied his life force to Vecna so that both die at the same time >Is flesh now, no longer a smoke monster so he can die>No bats (Gone?), No vines (broken?)>S4/5 plan makes no god damn sense
>>217038606Spider waking up kino
>>217038549Any issues you had with S5 are explained in the stage show, chud
>>217038657Yea Vecna and MF were comically lame
>>217038649What do you mean? Kali made her invisible to everyone
>>217038615Reagan will go on TV to apologize for experimenting on kids in a secret psychic program and everyone will just move on, like with Iran/Contra.
>>217038615the utter mishandling of the military 'threat' was bonkers levels of bad. i expected to see eleven shred the fucking base and throw it into the upside down. but no, she either leaves her friends at gunpoint to aura farm, or crawls away with a migraine while her sister does the aura farming on her behalfwhat the fuck was that shit i mean honestly
>>217038573S3 is peak. S5 is walled.
>>217038608>>217038657A single missile would have taken out the mind flayer btw
>>217038663>>Is flesh now, no longer a smoke monster so he can dieVery retarded. In S3 we saw what a tiny fragment of the MF can do, which was possess dozens of people and manipulate their flesh at will. If there was any consistency with that, the MF would simply spray the cast with particles and game over
>>217038653>you need to stop conforming!!!>next scene is all the older maincast conforming
>>217038649wow, just look at how invisible eleven is!bravo duffer brothers
>>217038628This is my boy
>>217038671and this is with years between seeing them in previous seasons, for me at least.this show is going to be an actual torture session for anyone that decides to rewatch it all
>>217038699>go through a whole ordeal to just get that shit out of will in s2>in s5 the kids just cough up the black dust no worries, holly even does it twice
the military let go a of the girl boss who murdered a couple of them scot-free.
>>217038699Also the fact Mindflayer tentacle hentai'd those kids means he really should have been using them to spy on Max/Holly like he did Will in S2. There's no reason Vecna/MF wouldn't know what they were planning
who did the "suck my fat one" line better? https://youtu.be/3hLCYkSNpPk?t=34
>>217038728>>217037597You know this will just turn into an orgy after the first campaign.
>Hopper mentions MontaukSo was that a dig at the guy Duffer Bros ripped off?
>>217038715Kino scene unironically. Finn acted the shit out of the finale which can't be said about any of the other main cast
>>217038563N
I'm glad they just speedran the vecna fight, the epilogue was actually very sweet and well done and's a much better ending than this dogshit series deserved
>>217038744The entire military plot was hilariously pointless. Netflix got that fuck you money to cast Linda Hamilton as a glorified extra.
>>217038730Imagine binging in like 2027 as a first time viewer, you see how s4 ends, and then watch s5e1 lol - at least we were desensitized to the idea of basically a status quo in Hawkins sans military with the trailers and promotional material
>>217038573>yeah I totally want to fuck 5’2 Danny Devito Jr. instead of 6 foot tall Mike So realistic
>>217038685it was bad from the first episode of the first season. the military in the show have always been are super-lethal and ruthless when necessary, but otherwise either disappear when convenient to the plot or a completely incompetant.
>>217038573Based
Once the mindflayer was toppled Vecna should have turned back into Henry for a brief moment and had the last word but I guess it was more important to give Winona a girlboss moment with three dozen whacks of an axe.
>abyss is meant to be where all the upside down shit comes from>it's just a barren desert with nothing
>>217038563I understand this was the hairstyle black men were adopting in the late 80s, but fuck man.. is he trying to look like Kid N Play?
>>217038764Yeah it was a nice scene, the epilogue was were it felt like the effort went into but it doesn't excuse how bad the rest of it was
>>217038796What did you expect, skyscrapers?
>>217038631Fucking kek. Reminds me of the neverbegameover subreddit going on years after MGSV released
>>217038791the scene was fine though vecnas last words were how he isn't mind washed and just evil why does he need something else
The military managed to go the entire show without knowing about Vecna or the Mindflayer. Even when they find the gangs plans about defeating him the don’t give a shit. Even when he literally walks out of the upside down and massacres a bunch of them they don’t care. They just want Eleven at all costs, who the hell cares if the mindflayer attacks earth..
Okay, so what are they doing for the spin-off then? There was a few set-ups.>Holly and friends continue on their adventures, Steve is there as a teacher>Sheriff Hopper’s adventures with Joyce in that new town (It’s Montauk, look up the Montauk Experiments)>Nancy’s adventures as a journalist in the big city with Robin and Jonathan.>Eleven’s life in wherever she is now. She is chased by Dr. Kay (Linda Hamilton) maybe.Reminder, The Duffer Bros will have no input as they are leaving Netflix for Paramount.
>>217038549So what are the odds the pregnant woman were dying because the military failed to check and make sure they had the same blood type as Kali?
>>217038748Beyond how MF/Vecna's plan may have always been doomed to fail (their miss realm smashing into the exotic matter), they lose by being retarded>no swarms of demogorgons, bats, dogs, and vines guarding them in the piss realm>MF doesn't simply blast particles into our world when the gates are opened to possess likek half of the town and, of course, have eyes on people that actually know all about him and Vecna and have thwarted them 3 times already>Vecna sends only 3 dogs to kill the ginger monkee>in a stunning reversal of our villains being retarded, Vecna had to actually use Will to discover Max was at the town hospital because he probably thought our heroes woudn't be so retarded to have her stored in the most obvious place imaginable
>>217038776i'm so sick of being treated like a retard with a goldfish memory. I noped out of Wheel of Time after the first episode but hearing that they stabbed Loial with the shadar logoth dagger, and then just... pretended like it didn't happen? goddamn that's foul. just a complete and utter dismissal of your customer
>watch GoT at the insistence of normies>it ends up being a disappointing mess>watch ST at the insistence of normies>it ends up being a disappointing messYou will not fool me a third time.
>>217038812Vines? Maybe some weird non-hostile creatures doing whatever? Demogorgons?More than rocks and sand at least.
>>217038649>>217038703this kind of thing happens when there are reshoots but they forget to get shots of everything they needed.rest assured everyone knew how plotholey this episode was.
>>217038748did you watch the show? the kids were in another dimension how the fuck could they spy
>>217038833It’s going to be Holly and friends going in adventures in the 1990’s.>Fans may have a slightly better idea of what's next after watching the last episode of "Stranger Things." Ross Duffer told The National there's "one small scene in the finale that gives a hint as to what the spinoff will be," adding, "We'll see if people pick up on it."https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2025/12/31/stranger-things-future-spinoffs/87947657007/
>>217038549what was the point of robin's girlfriend?
>>217038845>i'm so sick of being treated like a retard with a goldfish memory.time to start reading classic novels fren
So where were all the Demogorgans? Demodogs? Demobats?Were they all on break?
>>217038812Some demogorgons would be nice. May be some trees and water cause those niggers have to eat too you know.
>>217038549great to see this trainwreck is finally over. it kept getting worse ever new seasonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy3AcmW0lrQ
>>217038812Where were all the demogorgons and demodogs? WHERE THE FUCK WERE THEY?
>the s5 upside down is treated as incredibly dangerous for like 1 episode when hop is stuck there>the rest of the season it's traversed with zero expectation of threat aside from the other people who are also there with zero fear of any monster, illness, or anything at all
Why didn't the military run to grab El and using those things against her so can't use her power? they just stood there like bobos and watch her die.
>>217038666
>>217038849>normiesyou have to go back
>>217038779Personality matters
>>217038849At the least the GoT makers had the excuse of not having the books because GRRM will never finish it. ST is the OC of the Duffers and s5 being such dogshit is entirely on them unless we find out about Netflix really fucking them over. Also, how the fuck did this season cost half a billion?
>>217038849haha try Dexter next hahaha
>>217038876The Mind Flayer reabsorbed them to make itself a body so that it could get killed.
>>217038870Just another way for Netflix to stuff in more gay shit.
>>217038870To give robin something to be worried about (muh enzos) instead of JUST being quirky chungus girl
>>217038849To be fair I struggle to think of any show in existence that doesn’t shit in the bed towards the end
Sorry, there were no assets for weird alien plants or creatures on quixel megascans, can only do rocks and sand. Pls understand.
>>217038863It's the Montauk.
>>217038859It's a hiveMIND. They were plugged into the MF directly and MF is confirmed to be able to fuck with Vecna's memories so if he do that to his strongest warrior, he can find out the location of a bunch of kids directly plugged into him.Holly should have been giving away info to Veccy/MF just by talking to Max and being around her, thats what i meant about her spying
>>217038833They’re going to make a live-action anthology series. See pic related.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_Things_(franchise)#Future
>>217038893Vecnas actor was the only one trying this season. Hope to see him in more shit going forward.
>>217038820I dunno it just felt very rushed and anticlimactic. Even if impaled Henry is just saying shit like “Fuck you” and “I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for you meddling kids!” it would have added something.This whole season was very low effort and you can tell the duffers just wanted film it and can it as quickly as possible.
>>217038863No. It was the secne when Mike had PSTD from the loud speakers. Clearly something is still out there
>>217038894faggot faggot faggot faggot
>it was actually a lovecraftian meteor the whole timeWhere the fuck did it come from? Couldn't they look for more of it instead?
>>217038885>inb4 reddit tier faggot apologist theory that MF/Vecna were channeling all their power into dem keedz so didn't have the juice to mind control demos
>>217038715There’s another Wolfhard?
>>217038870So that you know that Robin is a lesbian and she isn't going to fuck Steve.
>>217038803I'd honestly taken an entire hour long episode in the epilogue it was the best bit of the season and the main draw back in s1 was the parties friendship
>>217038893the funny thing in retrospect is that the best option for the mindflayer in this moment was just to run away. it has the kids and vecna inside it so what the fuck are they going to do. it loses them and Eleven can't find it or catch up.
>>217038893>head is a giant vaginaKek I just noticed
>>217038917Jamie cambell bower deserves an Emmy. Hopefully he gets the Joesph Quinn treatment and gets a bunch of good projects
>>217038685>i expected to see eleven shred the fucking base and throw it into the upside downThe reason they gave her not to do that was proper retarded. Basically it's "if military lady dies, they will just replace her with someone else". So Hijack her mind, find the political hire ups who are funding this shit and kill them as well. But rather than doing that, They just have her fake her death and live in Norway or some shit.There could have been a kickass scene with 11 going full Carrie in the Pentagon, but I guess that would have been to cool for the fucking Duffer brothers.
Amazing they didn't kill off a single person during the MF fight. Not even the two retards standing directly underneath poking it with sticksPretty funny they brought back the girl from s2 for 3 seconds to have some meat to kill off as if everyone didn't see that coming
>>217038849>I don’t like THIS! I don’t like THAT! >nothing is up to MY high standard!Shut up you annoying fag, what the fuck have you ever created that’s impressive?
>>217038945MF kind of forgot to not be a total retard
>>217038887Another contrivance to add to the growing pile
>>217038932Yea it’s finns brother
>>217038893I assumed the part where Will said he was just like him was referring to the fact he was also a faggot
>>217038929that's better
the scene with Joyce killing Lamena with flashbacks to what he has done would have been way more impactful and epic if Vecna killed main character and felt more threatening. The Pussy Brothers missed a chance to make an epic villain to keep all the boring characters alive in a horror show. Did anyone fell any horror watching this show? because I didn't.
>>217038960what a retarded room temperature iq argument>you can't dislike something unless you can do betteryou are everything that's wrong with the world.
>>217038960>The fact that I pay for what passes for entertainment doesn't give me license to criticize it.
>>217038887It was never dangerous outside of the demodogs. As the understood more about it, the less precautions they took. It’s basic storytelling. How can you not understand?
Nancy and Hopper killed a ton of US Soldiers that were just following orders. Nothing happened to them
>>217038989Characters had plot armor, once you recognise "the pattern", you know that no one of importance was in danger
>>217038931>MF/Vecna can mind control people in the real world throughout the show, but then in the final season they need the victim's consent even when they are being personally mouthfucked unconscious in the Abyss by the mindflayer itselfhmmmmmmm
So they never found Orcus? Just Vecna.
>>217038715That’s my goy
>>217038989It hasn’t been a horror show since s1
>>217038956i mean yeah, they gave that reason as to why she'd never personally be safe, living out in the world, even if she killed sarah connor.but like, her friends were all at risk of being summarily executed by clearly corrupt and sadistic military personnel, right there, right then. that was not a situation to stand there and do your best impression of an easter island head
>>217038608was the thing vecna had the kids really the mind flayer? it was so easy to kill it lol
>>217038816why are subreddit names always so retarded ?
>>217038945lol you’re right. There’s about a million different ways the villains could have navigated their predicament but they just went full retard instead.
>loses a tug of war to a 7 year old kid Here's your modern day darth vader bro
MLB posted Steve.
>>217038994>>217038995Saying it’s not your thing and you don’t like it is fine, saying it’s objectively “a mess” implies you can do better
>>217038959>the two retards standing directly underneath poking it with stickslol'd out loud to be reminded of this, thanksmeanwhile Nancy got to have a flare gun AND an assault rifle AND a shottie
>>217038959yeah poor writing should have killed some it was too easy
>>217038914you seem confused lad, Holly was in the abyss, she was never with Max on Earth she had no idea where Max was so had no way to tell MF what Max or anybody else's plans were
>>217038935Might be on me for expecting some stakes but I was sure Robin was going to die, it felt like they set her up to get eaten by the demos in the hospital for an easy emotional beat
Season 1 for me is at the top 10 of one of the best seasons ever produced of any tv serieds, it had everything, wholesome and brutal at the same time. I really dont fucking know how you can fuck up a product so bad, it became capeshit slop.
>>217038959The lack of stakes is what killed this season for me, especially after the way season 4 ended where shit seemed to be scaling up.
>>217038989>Did anyone fell any horror watching this show?the very first episode of season 4 is the last time it kind of worked as horror, but that's because it was entirely side character who were in danger.
So...where the fuck did the magic rock come from? Who was the greaser in the mine shaft? Who did he think was after him?
>>217039027It's so sweet!I've realized, when Derek hugged Steve, that he knows what he wants to do in his life - to guide kids.
>>217039057I'm talking about in the memory prison
>>217039078yeah I know, you dont understand the difference
>>217039066not subbing to Netflix sorry
>>217039001>It was never dangerous outside of the demodogsright. the immediate shortness of breath, pallid complexion, and apparent weakness suffered by anyone that went in there in previous seasons was just.. hypochondria
>>217039018>hmmm should we just kill these DOZEN or so witnesses who killed some of our friends and will undoubtedly reveal us all to the world while we have a chance and could blame it on an earthquake or something? >no. one of them needs to give le epic graduation speech later
>>217039070>introduce bob to kill him>introduce quirky chungus russian to kill him>introduce eddie to kill him>reintroduce jeet to kill her>even say they regret killing chrissy early because fans liked herkek
People have become media illiterate. The ending was fine and if you didn't like it you went in with the wrong expectations.
what the fuck the lesbian nurse was a recurrent character from previous seasons? kek what an forgettable character
>>217039072They came from the land of deus ex machina via the Duffer brothers’ rectums
>>217038631lol this is mild at best. On twitter they’re literally forming a lynch mob after Finn
>>217039092how can I? they call it a memory prison but later say that they are inside henry's mind, but then they say that he's left it and returned to the real world. the internal rules are inconsistent and messy.
so you telling me the paki was alive for like a fucking hour after getting shot in the guts so she can make her voodoo illusion magic and help Eleven escape?
>>217039072idk, he was the guy who stole, us govt/cia/area 51 types or whatever
>>217039133It was ok, but it's disappointing to see all the squandered potential. They were obviously trying so hard to not upset anyone on the Internet and ended up doing nothing interesting.
>>217038631Johnlock was at least coherent because they wrote a bunch of weird sexual tension scenes between John/Sherlock that brought up gayness, the characters in the show kept thinking they were gay and insisted on the matter, and one of the main writers is a flaming fag. Byler is mental illness because it has literally only ever been Will have unrequited feelings for an oblivious friend who is obsessed with his girlfriend lol
>>217039136they couldn't figure out how to develop a lot of the main characters so they would create extra character relationships to make them feel less flat. same reason Lucas had a sister introduced who did nothing.
>>217039133The epilogue was fine and nice to see them all actually act like real characters again instead of exposition machines. The upside down/military stuff was actually just dogshit though
where the fuck was the military? I was expecting nancy or hop to get arrested and thrown in jail for wiping out whole squads
>>217039099Placebo effect is a real thing.
>>217039169Yeah when Mike said that at the dnd table the others should have scratched their heads and told him that was highly improbable
>>217039144yes they are inside Henry's mind, the bad memories locked away in the cave, he left to play mind tricks on Hopper in the upside down, hes physical body was in the abyss the entire time plugged in to the hive mind which he was using to do all that stuff
Im just glad it over. No I'm not watching any of the 4 spin offs that will last one season and be quietly shelved. They won't be giving Steve his own series and instead he will just appear from time to time to be a bumbling retard
>>217039196dont think about it
Why does Jonathan only talk about communism when he opens his mouth in the epilogue? Did the Russians body swap him?
>>217039214>Im just glad it overthis. OCD is fucking torture btw.
>>217039196There’s no proof that nancy and hop killed soldiers. Also I find it funny that Nancy has a kill count. Imagine training your entire life to be a solider. Just to get killed by fucking Nancy wheeler.
What kind of career do you think the actors will have?>Finn Wolfhard does some indie dramedy stuff with the occasional action/scifi cameo, kind of like a Michael Cera>Joe Keery shows up in some prestige tv shows here and there, has some lead roles in weird horror/scifi movies plus a successful music career >Natalia Dyer is the lead of the ST spinoff show but that bombs, she isn't as talented as Sadie Sink and doesn't have the comedic chops of a Rachel Sennot so she retires and she and Charlie Heaton live in peace doing a lot of coke in their mansion >Sadie Sink becomes a big name actress and ends up winning some Oscar Gold>Matarazzo does a couple comedies, has a guest spot on Impractical Jokers or something, becomes a host on some CBS show>MBB gets a couple lead roles on big movies but they flop, ends up having a reality show with Bon Jovi Jr>Schnapp joins the IDF with Bret Gelman and they both die>McLaughlin has some big roles on smaller movies, think sports movies and vaguely Christian movies. None of them succeed but he lands a supporting role on a successful sitcom
>>217039133I thought the ending was fine. Volume 2 and the show in general after the first season is what I level criticism at. But it mostly entertained me across all 5 seasons, so it was far from being entirely bad. I watched it. In a weird way I'll miss it.
Rewatched season 1 and Lucas is barely a character kek
>>217039233He was high.
>>217039027Building characterOne pitch at time
>>217039248and Will only had like 10 mins of screentime.
how many years till i see Sdie Sink doing a nude scene?
>>217039204>nancy was yelling for Jon thinking he was right nearby, just around a tree somewhere>at the same time she was fully aware she was in another dimension and mentally tricking herself into beliving this other dimension causes physical ailmenti'm sorry about your long history of hereditary retardation but can you let the adults discuss their shitty TV show?
>>217039187Erica is hilarious. One of the only good characters in this boring ass show. the pie scene made me laugh out loud.
>>217038549I forgot that Will used to look ratty and weak like Mike instead of like a gay Clark Kent in season 5, what a glowup
introducing the piss dimension was mistake
>>217038628I think that’s the Vancouver theater Osgood Perkins, Sean Baker and Finn bought when it was going under. Glad to see him spending his money on something nice rather than blowing it on coke
>>217038785>super deadly>incompetent>disappearsyeah I agree letting them all go is a plot hole, but to be fair this does sound a lot like the US military
>>217039245>Its easy to spot who you tug your little peen tooSadie will Sink without trace after this. She's not even attractive for a ginger
>>217039116It gives the impression that there’s stakes when there really isn’t as you can just kill off the simple likeable character over and over and keep the useless side characters
>>217039269Now that Stranger Things is done and she doesn’t have to be a wholesome teenager anymore, expect an Anora type role very soon.
>>217039248him and dustin are just "mike's other friends" in S1
>>217038951The whole thing is an allegory for homosexuality.He was controlled by the vagina monster (heteronormative behaviour)He came out before facing itHe beat the vagina monsterThe whole show has been an allegory for homosexuality. Holy kino. 10/10 show. How did we not realize.
REMINDER DEREK WONAPOLOGIZE NOW OR YOU WILL SUCK A FAT ONE!
>>217039237both of them shot soldiers when they were driving through the gate
>>217039275>Erica is hilarious.samefag, I actually agree that the actress was really good. that's one of the problems with not killing anyone off, when they did accidentally cast someone good they couldn't get rid of the deadweight to create screentime and roles in the plot for them. pedos here would obviously not stand for it but have Vecna kidnap her instead of recasting and developing Holly from literally nothing for one season.
>>217039303The should have stayed that way desu
>>217039245The nepo hire will keep getting supporting roles as her typecast quirk chungus (basically just show up to set in your street clothes roles) and never do anything of note. I rewatched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood the other day and noticed she was in that for 30 seconds riding in the Manson killers car. She'll do more of that.
>>217039245Actually, Noah is going to retire from acting to become my stay-at-home boywife who wears a French maid costume 24/7.
>>217039303I mean that's all Lucas was until s4 Dustin only escaped that early because of Steve.
>>217038549I really liked the ending, and enjoyed season 5 as a whole.But what happened in the first two volumes? Looks like they didn't even bother. The acting and the CGI is so much better in the finale.You can probably skip from season 4 to the final episode and won't miss anything.
>>217038870What was the point of robin
they killed the main heterosexual relationship. (between El and Mike) and Nancy didn't end up with anyone.
>>217039321yesdustin going from "slightly more interested in radio and such" to "actual turbo genius able to understand anything with a bit of reading" was incredibly grating
>>217038549I dropped it on season 3, more because I didn't get any interest with the new seasons than any other reason. Watched some chapters yesterday with relatives and a girl kept laughing every time miss Brown was on screen because her eyebrows can't move. I mean, barmy british girl is a thing, but you just know all her friends are assholes for not stopping her butchering her face like that
>>217038989Hop should've died in S3, Max should've died in S4 or at least get seriously fucked up, like blinded and crippled, Nance and Jonathan should've died in the titanic goo table scene, Murray should've died taking out the chopper, Robin or her girlfriend should've died in the hospital escape scene
what the fuck was the gay bar scene man, isnt he still a teenager? kek
>most of S5 is slop>finale is lowkey kinoI guess the Duffer Bros put all the energy into the final episode
>>217039245I feel like a few of them will go for easy capeshit roles like David Harbour and Joseph Quinn already did
How much money did Casio invest in the show? Why does every fucking character, including adults, soldiers, and Sarah Connor wear a shitty Casio watch? I would understand a couple kids wearing them, but everyone wearing one and the setting up every camera angle to make sure they are visible is over the top
ive been calling mike "rat boy" for a couple of seasons now and assume every motivation he has is a search for more cheese
why wasn't there a single demogorgon in the world they primarily inhabit
>>217039368>>finale is lowkey kinolol
>>217039368Brain dead retard
>>217039337you may not agree but Lucas/Max worked pretty well for me even from season 2. then they both get sidelined in season 3 before they are relevant again for 4.
>>217038573I was rewatching the finale of season 2 the day before, and when I saw that girl rejects Dustin, I realized I have an (adult) female friend who have the exact same facial expressions. You know, the way some women avert their gazes in a part bemused, part surprised "are you really talking to me ?" and part disdainful way ?
>>217039385No bats or demodogs or anything that would indicate life
>>217039343Hopper got with Joyce.
Did Winona Ryder just quit the show early?
>>217038573Middle left row is Eleven's peak nymphet mode
>>217039423Nah she was busy and spenny to have on set
>>217039356yeah it was crazy teenagers never go to bars
>>217039340>You can probably skip from season 4 to the final episode and won't miss anything.what do you even need to know, really?>kali is back (the entire thing about trying to use her blood to make more psychics is unnecessary)>the military dealt with the fissures and have a base where a gate opened(even the overall town being quarantined isn't that relevant)>max wakes up from her coma (how she does it is irrelevant)>vecna needs kids to amplify psychic power (who the kids are is irrelevant)>vecna has a bad memory that scares him (but is this even relevant? he just handwaves it off minutes after facing it)all of this could be outlined in 20-30 mins easily. we didn't need multiple episodes of max and holly doing fucking nothing of importance besides finding the bad memory
The whole Will v. Vecna dynamic didn't really culminate in anything interesting.
>>217038563>They show the black in orange firstLMAOOOO
>>217039355I said earlier but it felt like they were going to kill Robin in the hospital, they had a decent setup for it to be tragic as she had the date with the nurse and she offered nothing so you can just write her out and make fags cry, then again they’re afraid of making fags cry
>>217039303>people still think Mike was ever the “protagonist”>because…just because
>>217039423what do you mean?
>lovecraftien horror big evil monster was just heterosexuality the whole timeInsane reveal. Actually kino. This show is a masterpiece
So lets say the Mind Flayer wins and drops in to earth Into 1989 earth's were the cold war is still raging on and every nuke in the Soviet Union, the USA, UK, France, India, Pakistan, Israel and China is ready to go at a moments notice + hundreds of thousands of tanks and warplanes also ready to be deployed Whats the big plan?Even if it was telekinetic the biggest telekinetic feat we saw in the series was El nudging an empty truck, someone do the math but thats not enough force to stop a single ICBM on re entry
oh my science i cried so hard. this finale was... everything. thank you duffers!
>>217039447i never said that. Mike was primarily Will's friend in S1, secondarily Eleven's link to normal life. and the other boys were just 'mike's other friends'.If you want to argue against shit nobody said you can do it in notepad and save some bandwidth
>>217039455yeah it was pretty lucky he entered before the cold war in 1985
Maybe I spedwatch or something, but why doesn't Vecna/MF seem to care at all about the wormhole being potentially destroyed? Wouldn't that completely fuck up their plan to bring the worlds together? It seemed odd to me that there wasn't a single creature defending the strange matter nexus thingy.
>>217039414Joyce has no eggs. Empty egg carton.jpg
>>217039343Steve and Robin are the only pair that has chemistry. Hopp and Joyce don't, Lucas and Max I don't even understand why they're together, El and Mike clearly hate each other, even Sean Astin and Wynona was a terrible idea. If they just had to include a lesbian character, it should've been Nancy. Send Jonathan to California because he sucks post s1, make Nancy and Steve closer, have the coming out scene between the two, then Steve meets Robin. Just make the nurse Nancy's gf, who cares
>>217038833>The Duffer Bros will have no inputThank fucking god honestly. Also I’m not sure how the the same fucking people that did S5 did the first 3 seasons. Past s1 they all have the issue of rehashing the same plot but all the characters were great and there were charming moments. S5 feels like watching a husk of the show
>>217039455>So lets say the Mind Flayer wins and drops in to earthit's appearance location is miscalculated and gets all fucked up on some buildings in a big city, dying under it's own weight. The appearance of a giant tentacle spider monster halts war, for a while. Ozymandias takes credit for it.
>>217038549>Lucas gets the girl>Dustin goes to college, best friends with The Hair>Will moves to the big city>Mike crybabby storyteller who stays in hometown while friends are more successful in their endeavorsMike is Deku from My Hero Academia
>>217039498he does, thats why he enters the cave
>>217039443gay characters being tragically killed off is viewed as a harmful trope, similar to the issue with black characters in this image where there is no option that won't get someone mad on twitter.
>>217039498Because nothign mattered. The hero party was going to win regardless. This is because the power of homosexuality (good) overcomes the evils of heterosexuality (vaginal headed lovecraftian horror monster)
>>217039500S2 made Joyce sound like she was popular in high school but this season shows her as a dork.
>>217039513you almost speak as if you thought S2 wasn't trash
>>217039515>The appearance of a giant tentacle spider monster halts war, for a while.Reagan is hitting the button so mf fast if it lands in USA
>>217038573So is it Stacy or Stacey?! We need answers.
a main character should've lost a leg or arm or an eye or something
>>217039498anon the mf had kidnapped like 12 kids, no way the main characters decide to sacrifice A DOZEN CHILDREN merely to save everyone in the entire world.
>>217039075cute
>>217039543that's right, sweetie, the big meanie Reagan from the political party you don't like would have instantly nuked NYC if a dead tentacle monster was impaled on the skyline, just like Trump would!
>>217039498Don't worry about it
>>217039443>kill RobinWho would deliver the writers quirk chungus "erm, that happened" then? Also time skip funko pop merchandise. Also the story is an allegory for overcoming hetero-normative behavior, so killing off one of the LGBT characters would be crazy.
>>217039455>hurr I'm gonna kill everyo-ACK
>>217039538It’s great. The only bad thing is the cringey punk losers B-plot
MBB did the smart thing and married into money. None of these losers has a career aside from Maya
>>217039447He had the first scene and the last scene of the whole show. HE IS the Stranger Things
>>217039075>>217039027Steve best character in the show
>>217038791Nah that is fucking gayI am glad we had a villain be evil
>>217039555They were more beat up at the end of S4 than this one lol.
>>217039565>Muh party linesevery cold war president wouldve dumbass
>>217038901did you make that up
>>217039517>Mike becomes a crybaby storytellerdon't forget the part where he takes a huge amount of coke and writes a fictionalized version of events where he fucks El in a big kiddie gangbang at the end, then also a bunch when she's an adult but still hot.
>>217039581throwing a middle finger to everyone, the redemption people, the 'vecna control mindflayer' people and their counterparts, all of them BTFO in one scene just for that BTFOing to be undone by "eugh no i kinda forgot Will and Eleven could cooperate"... god what a finale I'll never watch again
> Be invincible interdimensional alien cloud that can mind control people from a distant planet> Take physical form for absolutely no reason> Forget you have an entire planet full of Demogorgons, Demodogs and DemobatsMore like the mindless flayer
>>217039565most of the republican base wouldn't even need that excuse to nuke NYC haha
$50 per episode btw
>>217039572Not true, the guy who plays will is obviously going to do a bunch of faggy Broadway shows
>>217039587yes, yes, your personal gripes have NOTHING to do with this, they absolutely would have nuked everyone for the smallest reason it just so happens that smallest reasons managed to never happen for that entire period of history. how fortunate.
>>217039530Hence ‘they’re afraid of making fags cry’, calling it a ‘harmful trope’ is just code for ‘I’m mad my favourite character died’
>made it out alive>still slaying pussy>is a role model male figure to kidsThank god they didn't fuck Steve
>>217039563>actor ages gracefully >liked by everyone >by the show's end the character pretty much already has what he wants in life>no gossip about him being a diva or difficult to work with, seems to get along with everyone My mvp
>And Will...hangs at some gay bars I guess.This is automatically one of the most hilarious endings ever.
>>217039631>>no gossip about him being a diva or difficult to work with, seems to get along with everyoneIs there gossip about some of the actors being divas? if so, which
>>217039629>becomes a washed up, bumbling dumbass whose kids hate him in the spin off series
IDONTLIKEGIRLS
>>217038573this girl is peak female. She should have been Eleven
>>217039569I mentioned this on the other thread but they could just do what they did with the Laura Palmer funko and make one of her corpse, and at this point most of the cast are quirk chunguses
>>217038959>the two retards standing directly underneath poking it with stickskek
>>217039561Even so, if your entire plan hinges on a thing that goes unstable just from a gunshot you might want to send somebody to watch over it? Especially with the army and the main characters having a fucking gunfight around it.
>>217039629>>217039631Steve won. I still wish he rocked Robin though
>>217039660David Harbour
>>217039622>giant interdimensional space monster>smallest reason
Robin is in Smith - all girl college. She is Massasuchetts like Nancy.Nancy dropped out of Emerson. She is a trainee in The Heralds. Yes, she is training to be journalist.Jonathan is NYU. He studies in film school. Currently working on anticapitalist movie The Consumer about a woman who gets hungrier the more she eats.Steve is a baseball coach and sex ed teacher. His plan is to buy house in Hawkins. He has a girlfriend that he calls the one.
>>217039628I mean its not like they had the balls to kill off any straight white men this season either.
>>217039678Guess you could say actors that have worked with him... HARBOUR bad feelings for him. Heh.
>>217039678And Millie
>stone from space>fuses with host, grants powers>takes a big mental toll and breaks the psyche>there's a hivemind >"We are... "pic unrelated
>>217039676nope. If I kidnap a dozen kids I am invincible.same reason Hamas were immune to bombs after kidnapping a bunch of Israelis and have full control of Gaza. kids are like sci-fi forcefields.
>>217039356>>217039434bar scene should've been picrel
>>217039684They killed off the nameless soldier guy who nobody gave a shit about, does Vecna count too as I think the guy who plays him might be a theater fag
That was amazing. I am glad eleven stays alive.
>>217039075Stop making up imaginary subtext. If you want to be a writer go make your own show, don’t insert your own wishcasting narratives into other people’s art
>>217039678According to reddit gossip, a huge scandal about him is coming out. They suppressed it until after the season finished
>>217039677seeing her now, he got lucky
>>217039678>is bitter that he is wasting his good acting years surrounded by kids who can't act and a dumbass scriptI can't blame him for being "mean".There's a reason why he is second billed in the credits after wynona. $$$$$
>>217039245I just hope Finn and Joe will do fine after this. They seem like genuine nice dudes and actually love what they do. The others I could give less a shit.
>>217039731She’s dead. Mike was just coping
>>217038615The upside down blew up along with all Dr Kay research and they rescued the kids.Kay’s best interest is to let them go with an NDA since the whole thing was a wash.
Summary of S5
Fucking adorable. Genuinely sucks we barely got these 4 actually as a group in the show
>>217039724in context I think anon meant sympathetic characters.
>>217039731I'm astounded people think she's dead.
>>217039737you mean Lily Allen's album about him cheating?It released like 2 months ago and there was a hit piece about him harassing Millie too
>>217039749she's alright
>>217039750I understand how hollywood works but it always felt a bit bullshit to me how winona and harbour got top credit. Maybe in s1 fine, whatever. But it was never their show
Is Holly and Derek end game?
So did they need 12 kids because the MF had 12 legs? Were they like batteries or something?
>>217039756El just had to duck and cover
>>217039801Pretty much
>>217039572Matarazzo (Dustin) has a career, he will do fine.
>>21703980112 legs 12 eggs in a regular egg carton
>>217038648She saw over the last 2 years her older brother Mike’s friend Lucas be a committed boyfriend to the coma girl. Even when he had basketball groupie sluts lining up to give him pussy.Best boyfriend goals.
>>217039787she sucked his fat one
>>217039780I'm astounded at your media illiteracy. That was clearly Mike's cope. It wasn't even the right number of waterfalls.
Out of sheer curiosity, how bad was the ending? My little sister loved the show but even she said the 2nd half of season 5 and the finale were ass.
>>217039801batteries and spare RAM like in The Matrix. this show is very original.
Erika's actress is 19. Did they have her kneeling down in all scenes to make her look so short?
>>217038649Mike explained it. Kali using the last of her powers.That’s why El is alive.
>>217039775Yeah probably, the only semi-sympathetic character they killed off was the jeet
>>217038563This vexes me
>>217039756No. the scene you see her fingers bug was not mike but a confirmation for the viewers.
>>217039843She's just short as hell.
>>217039838The dumbing down of color grading is all very Matrix-esque. >piss world Abyss>blue world UD>red world Vecna's mindspace
>I'm just glad it's over
>>217039831christmas eps sucked finale was pretty good imo your sister probably got worked hard by Elevens Jesus moment
>>217039292lol you're gay. Sadie is the only main character in this entire shit show that I would want to see again
>>217038573What the fuck happened to his baddie in Utah?
What was the deal with Derek awkwardly waving at Mike on the truck?
Didn't really like the finale, but I deeply resonate with Mike.. I feel like everyone around me grow up and moved on... and im stuck...What a depressing way to start this year.
>>217039771>this was the last time they spoke as friends
>>217039879you aren't supposed to remember things
>>217039755>joe takes his money and forms a band instead of coasting on Stranger Slop famehttps://youtu.be/Ec08db2hP10?si=qUp6ZqVHHYfAhy_ISong is cliche as fuck but it's all over the radio right now and number 2 on spotify. He won.
>>217039831It had some flaws, but generally I liked it. They tied it up way better than I was expecting, given the dogshit volume 2 Christmas episodes.
>>217039879it will be in the new stage show, coming 2028
>>217039843And also loves white boy cock.
>>217039828>That was clearly Mike's cope.It's not that kind of show. They put far too much effort into setting up her escape.
>>217039782>schizo eyes>dumb smile>wrinkly face>flat as a board
>>217039882Derek banged Mike's sister.
>>217039884everything reaches an End of Beginninghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy3AcmW0lrQ
>>217039245>>217039755>>217039895I think everyone here made enough money they can just retire for the rest of their lives.It's another Frankie Muniz situation (He retired at age 18 from Malcolm in the Middle with $40 million).
>>217039899>I liked it. They tied it up way better than I was expectingWhat exactly got "tied up" in the finale besides Vecna dying?
>>217039911This is a scientifically proven fact by the w
So how long until the inevitable revival?
>>217039831On the surface, it is a mediocre ending that is inoffensive and fine.However, if you dig ever so deeper, you will realize that it is a deep and impactful story about the power of friendship and acceptance overcoming the stigma of homosexuality in the 1980s. Once you realize this, the show goes from a lukewarm 6.5/10 to a rather impressive 10/10.
>>217039784child actors typically get peanuts. basically exploitation
>>217039942March they're doing an animated flashback of the kids as 14 year olds
>>217039942Cartoon this summer, spin-offs next year.
Hes a top contender for the 2026 JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP award.
>>217039942I say 10-15 years, that way they can use these characters kids as the new protagonists
>Demogorgons gone>Flying evil bats gone>Dog demogorgons goneDid the writers forget about them? Starting a fire in the tunnel in season 2 finale caused all the dog demogorgons to run away from the portal towards the fire to put it out and when eleven started closing the portal they all ran back and tried to stop her.The actual mindflayer itself getting attacked should have caused the same reaction.
>>217039831It was alright. Not bad but nothing interesting happened either
Have they ever talked about what the second season would’ve been if they went forward with the anthology series idea?
>>217039956>child actors typically get peanutsThese kids have been on at least a million a series since s2 and got $7 million each for 5 they were the luckiest fuckers in Hollywood.
>>217039895he's been a successful solo artist for a while anon
It was the sloppiest slop I've ever consoomed and I've eaten human shit before
>>217039917>too much effortSeems like it was one of those "if x then y, then if y then z" type of things where the most logical answer is that she actually did die. Another possibility is that the wormhole stabilized or she got swept up to Dimension X for a sequel series, if they don't want to actually kill her. Regardless, I don't think she's wandering around Iceland.
>>217039968Yeah, it will be 2000's nostalgia bait
>>217039933Can't believe out of everything they could've done this scene fucked me up
>>217039919Based on how she acts in interviews on top of her appearance I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s thrown in a mental hospital in the next few years
>>217039960>>217039964I'm talking about the actors coming back to reprise their roles as adults in a desperate plea for more work
New thread?
>>217039967>It never controlled me>I wanted this>*dies*
>>217039972>Did the writers forget about them?They were allegories for STIs that queer folk experienced. They are not needed now as our main homosexual hero is now out of the closet, and the friends who accept him have overcome the stigma of gays having a plethora of STIs.
>>217040001It’s over Henry. Go home.
>>217039801The mind flyer needs human vessels to have psychic powers because of our developed brain. Degomorgon can't do that, for example.
>>217039986The new kids can call the MF the "smoke monster" as a Lost reference, perfect
>>217039967His old design was so much better than this season's.
>>217038849You didnt watch LOST?
>>217039986Can't wait for the 9/11 dancing israelis reference
>>217040014No
>>217039895Song's been pretty popular for 2 years, must be seeing resurgence because of the final season
>>217040000Give it five years and they will pass for 55 year olds, so them having kids will look more believable.
>>217038676That was just Will copium. Kali was long dead by that time.
>>217040007I think that was arguably even worse than trying to give him a redemption arc, they already set up that the flayer was in control of him and he wasn’t intimidating after how easily he went down in S4 so just commit to that
>>217038849Very few shows actually manage to have a decent ending
>>217040041Lost was so kino. You retards just didn't get it, which speaks more about your media literacy than anything else.
>>217039846Anon, don't be a Mike. Accept her death.
>>217039972They didn't forget, they just stopped giving a fuck. They swept all that shit under the rug and breezed past the ending as quickly as possible and added an endless epilogue to hopefully distract people from how dogshit the actual ending was.
>>217038905Breaking Bad managed to have a decent ending at leastEven Kobra Kai somehow manages to stick the landing in the end
>>217039884Don't watch My Hero Academia then, which also ended this month. The main character is just like you and Mike.
>>217040069
>1:31 in>still more than half an hour leftthere is no need to punish people for pirating media, the media is the punishment lmao
>>217040059It wouldn't make sense how El just vanishes and appears on the rift , also she seems unaffected by the sonic device
>>217039972maybe the mindflayer has spent all his mana or shit
New>>217040114>>217040114
I might have cared more if they didn't take a retard huge break and the cast cared more
>>217039982>Regardless, I don't think she's wandering around Iceland.It is nevertheless the intent and I don't think thd show is remotely subtle about it.
>>217040069Succession is the last one that comes to my mind
So is Eleven dead or not?
>>217038887I mean Will the Gay managed to survive for however long season 1’was so it can’t have been that dangerous.
>>217039888>complain about a bloated cast>complain when characters get written out
>>217039027It’s amazing how they gave Steve the idiot comedy relief ball for the entire 5 season run and he still manages come out the best character in the show by far.
>>217040172I actually didn't like it much but it was half decent
>>217040224No
>>217040323They called ICE on Jonathan’s friend from season 4, I think they knew they had too may characters and just pretended half of them didn’t exist but still introduced new ones nobody cares about
>>217039174They’ve had nowhere to go since season 1 and even that was a derivative mishmash of plot points from 80s movies.
>>217039233He had shades of political activism in season 1 but they quickly removed them from season 2 onwards because that might have made him a more interesting character than ‘Nancy simp no.1’
>>217038573Actually based
>>217039884This hurts.
>>217038573>dat positive canthal tilt
