Stranger Things is a rip-off of IT (the book), Riverdale (the CW show), and the F.E.A.R. games.

>>217046485
Probably because vibes was all S3 had going for it. It was where the show jumped the shark and relied heavily on nostalgia, spectacle and visuals to carry as opposed to shit like mystery and characterization.

Billy was a standout, but otherwise all the characters went fucking backwards or nowhere at all in S3

I didn't care for the resolution of Henry Creel/Vecna.
It all feels contradictory and weird.
Like they want to give you a sense that this poor boy was corrupted as a child by an unstoppable force and has been mind controlled ever since, but then they also want the audience to be happy about Joyce killing him, so they just say he was always a bad guy. But it doesn't really make sense to take him at his word because everything we've seen throughout the series shows that you're no longer at the wheel once the mindlflayer gets into you. It's like two different people wrote it.

>>217046661
Dribbling with the opposite hand made you elite back then. The average high school basketball player would make the league back then

They pulled the rug on what his character was a whole three times throughout the series. Best ending would have been mindflayer about to stab El, but Henry and the kids stop him, and in response the mindflayer stabs Henry.

But that is too "predictable" so we get the shit version instead

It was strange that, during the end credits, they didn’t show a Steve with the baseball bat fighting off the Demo. Weird omission.

>>217046691
More than anything, it felt like they couldn’t decide what they wanted to do. They basically tried to do both simultaneously and it fell flat as a result. That’s why so many people were waiting for something more to happen and instead it was just over. It just feels weird and bad when they tease redemption so hard and so effectively and then just say “nah.” Like there was a door in front of us we just never went through.
Coping and deluding himself into thinking the MF was his friend could’ve worked, and the actor did sell it, but narratively it was just too rushed and poorly executed.

He never hide the fact his goal was to have a family (get married and with kids). He never bragged that he wants to leave Hawkins or go to the college. He is now created a huge family and is ready create his own family since he is planning of buying a house in Hawkins.

I agree with the general sentiment that the show fell apart after the first season and I was never a huge fan (I watched S1 on release but didn't bother with S2 or S3 until around S4's release because I thought more was a bad idea) but it's still bittersweet for it to be over. There's a lot to be said for mere exposure.

I don't think El created the whole upside-down, just ripped the very first portal into it. Because she didn't create the demogorgons, they were already there. Henry and Will made the other portals

>>217046691
it would have been fine if this were the big reveal and we didn't know much about him, but this is the third time they've given him an origin story after retconning his original one in the last season so it just feels retarded. and it doesn't even amount to anything, like the whole point of a setup like that is so Henry can redeem himself and help the kids fight back against the Mindflayer and Vecna personality, but it ends up being a flaccid "twist" that never goes anywhere, particularly because they spent the last 7 parts of this season twiddling their thumbs. it really cannot be understated how much of S5 has things happening on the screen and characters constantly talking but almost nothing ever happens.

>>217046761
also this, we have 3 different origins for Henry but they never bother to actually set up the motivation for this entity. does it want to take over the world, eat everyone/everything in the world, is it like Lavos or Jenova where it has a biological imperative to spread to other worlds and consume them? was the world it was on a lush world full of life before it devoured everything? no instead we're going to retcon Henry's origins AGAIN. fucking retarded.

IT had one gay character without speeches. Netflix had to be even moar progressive and had two characters coming out. One as lesbian one as gay.
Surprised by the restraint, thought

>>217047205
like at no point did anyone warn him about Vecna's powers? hey Hoop if you start tripping balls and the big scary rape monster tries to get you to do something, you probably shouldn't do it!

>>217047252
i guess because her powers are a result of the mindflayer's influence they were connected, when she invoked his powers on Henry who was full of MF particles they were charged and opened the portal

>>217047368
My headcanon is the demogorgon species is dying out and the mindflayer needs more people to take physical form and live forever like it wants. Every time it gets defeated we see it resting in a dormant form

>>217046503
if it was a rip-off of Riverdale where were all the lesbian make-out scenes?

Probably from the Philladelphia Experiment. In the play at least, it was an experiment involving active cloaking. Strange matter with peculiar gravitational properties seems right at home with concept of bending light around something.

Stranger Things = muh '80s nostalgia + other things

I remember some SNL video on YouTube parodying Stranger Things where the black kid was scared of cops. Bringing this up for no particular reason (besides something I can think of).

>>217047863
So exotic matter was created by Brenner. Ok. Still no answer to why Henry wanted to merge the worlds. I don't really care anyways.

>>217047883
Very good. Not worth watching. I suppose those are people who skip through parts of it or watch it while using their phone or something. Either way: based.

>>217046507
Better if the show ended after 1 or 2 seasons. Eldritch monsters was somewhat interesting but not worth season 3 through 5 existing.

i think there's room for a reinvention of the character the way the animated series reinvented Mr. Freeze and gave him that tragic backstory that made him so iconic (before that he was just a stereotypical costumed bank robber with an ice gimmick). Scarecrow's depictions are usually lame, he deserves better.

Dustin said Vecna didn't create the exotic matter, Science did. If the MF had made it, I don't think he would've said science.

Problem is it was created in the UD, meaning Brenner had access to it before El made the gate.

Yeah, on a boat in a port, not in Hawkins, Indiana. The story is Brenner's dad was a part of that experiment and told Brenner about it before he died. Brenner than sought to recreate it.

"We thought it would be beautiful if our characters continued to believe in that happier ending even if we didn't give them a clear answer to whether that's true or not," he continued. "The fact that they're believing in it, we just thought it was such a better way to end the story and a better way to represent the closure of this journey and their journey from children to adults."

Didnt confirm jack shit aside from the fact that El mind-goons Mike when he goes to sleep all the way from Iceland

Retard, the wormhole is in the upside down where Brenner researched. He even has the exact same map of the diameter of it as Dustin.

So this means Brenner was in the upside down already prior to Nov. 6 '83 when in S1/S2 they act as though El created the gate.

How did Brenner survive the demogorgon in season 1?

Papa recreated the experiment, and the dude in the cave stole that technology to bring back to the Russians. Nothing teleported back with the ship, aside from Papa's papa.

The Philadelphia Experiment was an alleged event claimed to have been witnessed by an ex-merchant mariner named Carl M. Allen at the United States Navy's Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, some time around October 28, 1943. Allen described an experiment where the U.S. Navy attempted to make a destroyer escort, USS Eldridge, disappear and the bizarre results that followed.

In the play Dr. Brenner's dad dissappears an comes back with changed blood and blind and from there star Dr. Brenners reasearch.

Robin's strange uncle leaves in Philadelphia. That's there Jonathan, Steven, Nancy and Robin decides to meet once in a month.

Everyone understands the basics and knows famous players, and have had to play a few games just through PE classes and having friends or family members to play with. It just you don't care beyond that. I don't like sports, I really do not give a single flying fuck about Lebron James or Lionel Messi, they could crash into the side of a mountain like Kobe Bryant did for all I care. Sometimes I watch highlight reels when I'm bored and scrolling my phone and I'm just extremely unimpressed by what I see. What sounds more exciting to you anon? Going to a new planet or kicking a ball into a net? Surely the space exploration sounds more exciting and yet the majority of both men and women are more hyped about the ball kicking.

That's from the play which is dubiously canon. In the play, Henry is transported to dimension x and came back with a different personality and altered blood. In the show, he was infected on Earth.

Okay then where did the magic rock come from then? And why was it, alone, in a briefcase? What you posted refers to it as "equipment". So how did Brenner get this equipment?
They didn't do shit in nevada, no teleporting. So there is NO Where the magic rock could come from except either it was just there when the ship came back. Or they took it out of Brenner's dad's body

Also, when would the shitjeeta ever agree to this plan with El? And why? She wanted it to end.

She was swayed by Hopper.

>>217048721
So were the writers.

>>217048721
Does the rock just give powers to anyone who touches it? are there requirements?

>>217048721
Brenner didn't shared his knowledge with rest of them.

>>217048620
It's just bad writing anon. Neither ending makes sense because the writing is just completely fucked. Just pick whatever ending you like because it doesn't matter.

>>217048400
>still dont know how Vecna got his power
as far as I remember, his psychic powers were going wild: result was he opened a portal/wormhole. I mostly forgot. (Why'd he massacre those kids and stuff?)

>>217046427

was it this or did they just want to use her to create weapons against muh soviets?

It is a retarded retcon that just makes you more confused if you read into it.

>>217048739
Apparently it transports you to the abyss and I am assuming the mind flayer there infects people. Brenner's dad got transported there, and returned with "weird" blood. So I guess his dad might have had some powers.

Reading these threads really solidifies how shitty S5 and the ending is. How long before people move on and stop talking about the show? I give 2 weeks max.

She's responsible for opening the gate to the upside down / wormhole. They made Eleven from Henry's blood but he's in another dimension and is completely crazy. Eleven is more than or as powerful as Henry, so they need Eleven's blood to make more psychic children to fight Russians.

>If Vecna was actually so easy to defeat, why didn't the military or U.S. government just figure out they need to enter the Abyss dimension from the sky and kill the big monster? Or better yet, just blow up the Upside Down?
>Very poor use of music -- the tension is deflated after the final battle using Prince's When Doves Cry and then Purple Rain for the emotional Eleven death scene but that song is more triumphant than sad
>Overly long epilogue especially for the older teen characters who have no chemistry when they aren't hunting monsters
What a shame to see this show decline into thoughtless plot convenience and boring sentimentality. Glad it's over.

>>217048927
Yeah. I like how nobody cared about the pojeeta dying

>>217048923
They discovered it and was trying to reach it, that's where the rock or energy that infected Henry comes from. He was eventually transported to the dimension, came back, they make the other kids, he goes crazy and is sent back to the upside down. Eleven actually fully opened the gate when the scientists instruct her to do it.

>>217046399
Sadie (until she turns 30)
Finn (already been in multiple successful franchises)
Gaten (unique look, beloved character will keep him in steady character work and he has broadway to fall back on
Caleb (none of his side projects have been popular, doesn't have much upcomming)
Noah (weak actor, divisive on social media)

If the mindflayer had won and came to earth he would have gotten shredded by a few rockets immediately. Very high stakes.

Rewatched the first episode of the first season; I'm not sure I've seen this since 2016. I almost forgot not only how much better the show was but how different everything was. The performances, the dialogue, the cinematography. It really was a different animal altogether.

I still don't get it. Why is he scared of the cave? He got possessed by the mindflayer in the mine

>>217046351
I need a webm of Hopper's reaction to the Poojeta saying how she has known El longer than him. Where he turns away, rolls his eyes and just looks disgusted.
It's how I felt whenever she was on screen. I unironically fast forwarded any time she was on screen.

>>217048768
>>still dont know how Vecna got his power
>[my reply]
This doesn't really answer the question. So to add to what I said: Henry went through the portal and the Mind Flayer used him as his vessel. It was a mutual agreement or pact. He got his power from psychic power that he had plus the Mind Flayer. How did Henry have psychic powers in the first place? Mk ultra I guess.

>>217049054
True. It was weak enough for some lightly-armed teenagers to kill. Henry and the Mind Flayer were entwined so El fighting Henry contributed.

>>217049216
She was such a pointless addition. They should have killed her off much sooner.

>>217046351

I'm probably giving the writers too much credit here but it could just be that the mindflayer has gained complete control or completely brainwashed Henry.

>>217049311
first season was 10/10, rest was unremarkable and forgettable 5-6/10

The tone in season 1 was so vastly different. Is like when you beat a boss in a video game and that same boss appears later in the end game as a common enemy. Your victory doesn't feel like an achievement anymore. The demogorgon was just some random bitch and there are many of them.

>>217049311
Season 5 is 5/10 at best. I've never watched a finale to a show/movie and thought "this is actually shit" multiple times while it was playing. Not even with GoT, somehow.

what happened to the nigress and the science teacher? Military saw the van and were like, yeah nah let's not search this place anymore, we know enough?

>217049211
He was scared of the cave because he got shot by the crazed scientist and had to bash his head in with a rock, he was like ten so it makes sense for him to want to block those memories
People might scoff at this explanation but It's happened to me unintentionally blocked some memories from a violent night, a relative reminded me of it years later, and I promise you I felt my brain actually move as the memories came flooding back.

>>217049383
Yeah the Demogorgon felt OP as fuck in the 1st season. The way lights would flicker, portals opened, etc. was a big deal but later on it just became a joke. The mystery of it all was what made S1 appealing. Once they removed all of that it turned to shit.

>>217048989
that was the point. didnt you notice dustin even said "hit points"

>>217049425
That's true anon but you're also not a supernatural interdimensional child murderer. Vecna readily admits that he chose to succumb to the Mindflayer's control so why is he even traumatized about it

Couldn't they at least have one of the kids trampled by the mindflayer or someshit? I'm surprised these kids can still fucking move with so much plot armor stacked on top of them.

where does the money end up going? do the actors just get paid more now that the show is famous or what, season 1 & 2 had better visuals than season 5... explain this shit to me

Nobody ever asks where the fuck did all the murder demon bats went after season 4.

Hopper really lost all fucks this episode and stopped acting altogether. Not that I can really blame him I guess with such shit material.

>>217048907
Shit, that means we got 4 more gorosei

Why did the mindflayer turn into a flesh creature to get killed?
Where were all the demogorgons and dogs?
Why did Dustin and Steve go underneath the giant fleshflayer to stab it with toothpicks while everyone else is using fucking guns and shit?
Why did El and everyone just stand there at the gate when El could've snapped all their necks?
Nobody thought to direct the bullshit sonic device at her and quickly grab her?

I got so bored jesus christ.

We already know why
>hey uh guys, you know these monsters and demons we invented for the show can just easily kill the characters
>okay let's just make the abyss dimension empty and pretend they don't exist. writing 101

Past the first season the show felt like parody or comedy. Like they're re-enacting a D&D campaign. It was all kind of goofy and not very well thought out. I wonder how much of that was intentional and how much of it was writing hackery.

>>217048362
So basically most of the characters leave Hawkins. Wtf.

>>217049472
I've seen multiple people ask where the demos and bats were.

>>217049507
Every single living thing in this series is in a quantum state. It both exists and doesn't exist, until the writers remember.

>>217049544
Because the curse of Hawkins is lifted. So they need a new setting for the potential sequel.

Turns out, the ending where all of this was just a D&D campaign ends up being far superior to what we got. I would have accepted a shitty AI ending where all the kids are S1 age and playing in their basement.

>>217049593
But that WAS the ending. >>217049138

>>217049544
Except Steve and maybe Mike.

>>217049249
This series can be binge watched now (more like cringe watched). In that experience, it should be obvious to someone (who watched none of it to suddenly seeing all of it that): season 1 is better and season 4 and 5 are the worst.

>>217049394
The girl was seen in later scenes. The teacher was executed for treason (IDK).

>>217049383
I know that experience. (For example, Lynels in "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".)

>>217049593
Yeah, screw this show. The "it was all a dream" ending wouldn't be so bad in my opinion.

>>217048971
Imagine wasting years of your life because an old hag wanted to catch a kid only for said kid to kill herself
i'd cry too....

>>217049507
The Mindflayer kind of forgot about the Demofleet.

I'm convinced this season was written by AI with a focus on creating scenes with the potential to become tiktok boom clips.

>>217049711
The writers forgot about everything, they just needed to wrap things up

This entire season started on the wrong foot. Everyone should have been working together from the start and then we could have had a truly epic battle with the military and their sonic weapons/flamethrowers against a legion of demogorgons, dogs and bats.

Fuck that capturing El to infuse pregnant women subplot so much.

>>217049458
He was realizing it in that moment

>>217049711
Lol. What did happen to all the demobats and demodogs and so on? If they were swarmed by them they wouldn't win and Henry would merge the worlds.

Reminds me of a part of a show that I did like or was interested in. Spoiler for "Naruto": that section/arc where Madara (antagonist) won against the protagonists and activated the Infinite Tsukoyomi. (May have spelled that wrong.)

"Naruto" is better than "Stranger Things" here because it actually explained the antagonist's motivations. We don't know Henry's motivations besides some vague lines; could have been interesting if they had more details. Pathetic how it turned out. Writers just wanted to wrap this shit up and get it over with. I'm fine with that as I don't really like this show anyways. Hope they don't make a sequel or prequel to further explain shit or expand this narrative universe.

Miles is part black and "part puerto rican". Which means jack shit since your passport has nothing to do with your race.

But many puerto ricans are part black or fully black. So Miles can just be a fully black man with a puerto rican background. Even if his puerto rican side was what the spanish called a Zambo, which is part black part indigenous, once his mother had a child with a black father then he'd just look black.
