Derek bros, how are we coping?

here's what I think happened
>Murray hits helicopter
>soldier misses the shot (we see that he missed)
>Eight proceed to cast an illusion that she got shot and fooled Eleven
>she tells Eleven "your story doesn't have to end like mine"
>she explains to Eleven off screen about the fake death plan and that she is not really shot
>Hopper comes and see the fake death of Eight
>he buys it
>Eleven doesn't tell him
>they leave Eight
>Eight escapes the building before it gets destroyed

the rest I'm not quite sure. Didn't Murray show a secret exit of his truck? I'll have to go back and rewatch.

They're bait. The military still wants to capture Eleven and probably doesn't buy that she conveniently died when they had her.

they leaned too much on the kate bush song from the earlier season, and then at the end they beclowned themselves playing prince and other shit pretending the series was always about music

Transmasc = identifies with masculine traits without identifying as a man.
Butch = A particular masculine way of presenting yourself as a woman, usually associated with lesbians.
Nb = Non-Binary (gender non-conforming, doesn’t see themselves as man or woman)
Femme = Feminine presenting
I assume it’s hyperbolic brainrot (the rainbow cult jokes too) instead of a genuine headcanon but you can never be too sure.

Stranger Things is at its best when the characters are split up, have their own shot going on, and come together right at the end. Season 5 fucked up by doing the get together part way too early, and we were left with rooms filled with people all focused on the same thing.

They could have TRULY been woke and hinted that Holly and Derek were going to get together. Now THAT would have been something different and absolutely HUGE for the fat acceptance movement. And yet, they do race mixing AGAIN. Fats are literally more discriminated against than blacks at this point, it’s insane

that's why it's perfect for me. I don't want attention on me.

The biggest and most overglaring issue I’m seeing not being discussed enough (because it’s been sidelined by I BELIEVE talk) is what the fuck happened to Dr Kay and the military? How/why the fuck were they just let go once El died? Wouldn’t they have AT LEAST been detained. Hopper and Murray actually killed service members. The teacher and the girl disrupted military technology. How is this all just swept under the rug?!?

It should have just ended at season 1. Everything since then has been awful, but for some reason American shows just have to drive the story into the ground before actually ending the damn thing. This happens to every US show I enjoy, just let things end on a satisfying note, goddammit.

Season 1 still functions perfectly fine as its own story if you prefer that.
Though I disagree with you, Season 2 was a great followup, Season 3 was lopsided and goofy but still fun overall, Season 4 handled growing the characters up well, and while Season 5 is the weakest it still landed the plane.

Derek is my favorite character. I love the big fat bastards+cute girl combo.

She absolutely likes Derek. That said, there's also the fact that she's still pretty young, so once she hits puberty and starts to develop a stronger reliance of physical preferences for determining attraction, who knows who she'd like.

It was the most boring season imo. Had a few really good parts but it felt really rushed and half the lines felt like they were written by AI, and the majority of the time was spent on characters getting "moments" without really any significant buildup or satisfying payoff. The big fight with the mind flayer felt like it was improvised by the cast and they just animated whatever later (WHY did they need to run/teleport on top of a cliff?) and the thing with Vecna being a slave to the mind flayer was just shoehorned in like a last minute idea they couldn't be bothered fleshing out. A lot of things that could have been good if they bothered enough to put the effort in, which they didn't.

>>217061489
The quality of the greenscreen here reminds me of Lexx. Now that would be one hell of a crossover. Have Will trying to deal with the weird gay robot head while Hopper and 11 are stuck with the half lizard chick who rolls everywhere like Sonic the Hedgehog.

Dustin is still a DND nerd who would be lucky to reproduce (and they’ll be disfigured). Hopper and Joyce are too old. Jonathan’s too busy making gay movies. Robin is a lesbo. Nancy is a girlboss who don’t need no man. Steve is always striking out. Max and Lucas can only have black kids. Murray is jewish. Netflix hates White children.

In the inevitable Stranger Things: The Next Generation sequel releasing in 2036 Steve will have kids and so will Dustin, don't worry. Obviously Max and Lucas too. It does make sense for Mike to stay celibate and if MBB wants to return that'll be the big thing in that show. If they want another core four group then someone else will have to have kids... I think it'd be kinda funny to say Jonathan became a big shot director and had kids with some vapid hollywood actress who's like a female version of ted. They can also make Steve and Dustin's wives Asian or black or latinx or arab if they want a more diverse group.

Why did they do this? Couldn't they have at least shown him acting flirty with a guy in a life drawing session or, better yet, at one of Will's gallery showings? At least that would seem like Will, especially since him being an artist was one of his major character traits, much moreso than him being gay. All of the other characters still seemed like themselves in their futures, Will's just seemed like "uh... what do gay guys do? Go to bars or something? Yeah sure that works."

All we know for sure is that Holly invited Josh and Derek as the only boys to her D and D session with her two best friends.
There’s going to be lots of kissing and tongue stuff going on.

the show is a subtle metaphor/reveal for why people turn gay. the mind flayer = parasite. he literally put parasite inside of Will. we see will is still possessed by said parasites in season 5. this is symbolized by his connection with Vecna. Vecna represents a child molester hence why he kidnaps kids. the right side up symbolizes the molestation that no one sees that turns kids gay. the upside down symbolizes the trauma (the time is paused at the time the molestation happened.) Will saying go away is him telling the parasite to leave his body. this show is revelation of the method illuminati demonic shit. you even see one symbolism in promotional art.

They are either pretty close or his family died from a benzo OD and he lives with the Wheelers now.

If Kali is secretly alive and throwing up illusions, there doesn't even need to be a secret exit to the truck.
The problem comes down to, where Kali was when she was putting up whatever illusion, and how long an illusion she was maintaining (i.e., was she tagging along the whole way back invisibly).

Clearly the writers spent a long time on S1, after it's runaway success Netflix would have offered them big bucks for more seasons but the ideas tank was dry, which is why we got a rehash for S2. I guess it was clear after S3 that people will watch any fucking slop, so that's what we got.

It wouldn't have been that hard to hire more writers to plan out a story and lore, but I guess the Duffers only wanted their name on it.

the kids remix they played in the last scene was great, if anything, this show had a terrific score

Spin off will definitely be set in the late 90s going into the 00s. First season will probably take place in 99 and culminate in the 00 New Years as a climax. Nostalgia is always in and the 90s and 00s the popular shit right now

Henry was afraid of the cave because of its tie to the trauma he experienced in the tunnel, combined with the Mindflayer itself trying to stop him from seeing the truth that he was just another vessel. The rest of it though, I guess is either in the play or will be revealed in the spinoff. The stone itself was apparently a vessel for part of the Mindflayer, and presymably scientists found it and were studying it before the one went rogue and was presumably trying to find a way to hide it or dispose of it, but how it made its way out of the Void is unclear

We didn't kiss until the first take, and we did it. It was a really good take. They yelled cut. Millie got up and just looked, like, disappointed. Then she yelled out, “Kissing sucks. That sucked.” That's what she said. It was the funniest reaction I've ever seen on a person, because I was her first kiss. I don't know, it was really, really funny.

SO WHY THE FUCK DID THEY DICK AROUND WITH WHO WAS IN CHARGE THE ENTIRE TIME? It's not like Vecna 'turning good' and helping defeat the MF would have been good but it would make it coherent for them have his backstory be a mystery like that. As is, it is irrelevant meaning they could have presented him as the willing general of the MF in s4, the audience and characters are clear going forward that MF is the overlord and Vecna the totally willing instrument of his will, and NOTHING changes. I suspect the Duffers, being shit writers, got cold feet over making a human the root of it all so shat in a last minute retcon of a retcon to appease fans
