This show's plot sounds like Bleach's plot. Yhwach gives his blood to his quincies and wants to merge all the worlds. Kubo should sue the creators for plagiarism.

I havn't watched seasons 3, 4 or 5, can someone sum them up for me?
>>217088150They get a mall, then some Russians show up. It turns out Eleven's older brother was the big bad all along but she just forgot. Then everyone turns gay and Eleven dies.
>>217088150Ironically you can skip season 3,4 and 5 if you have watched up to season 2. Just skip straight to the finale and it doesn’t matter
>>217088171>They get a mallwhat does that mean?
>>217087611Is this a bot?
>>217088171>Then everyone turns gay and Eleven dies.fuck, i made a bet with my friend after season 1 that Eleven was going to die and THEN everyone turns gay. I guess I lost.
>>217087501What would be Eleven's bankai?
>>217088179>no Eddiedamn
>murder dozens of military personnel>foil their whole expensive plan>this is the director's explainationJesus Fucking Christ....
>>217088183Hawkins builds a mall so they can do the "OMG it's the 89's let's hangout at the mall!" thing and they spend the entire season at the mall.It's better than it sounds.
>>217088288Almost as bad as: "Why didn't Vecna use Demogorgons or bats to fight them like last time?" and they said: "I don't know I guess he just didn't."Imagine if they let take Ted people work in Hollywood instead of just jews
I thought you chuds said she hit the wall?
>>217088288I mean that actually makes sense, they'd want to hush this shit down as much as possible. Linda Hamilton would get her shit tore apart internally and be pressured to retire, then they would surveil every survivor involved to make sure they don't talk.
>>217088371She looks like an older Kerry Condon
I accept your concession
>>217088290>getting winded in somebody else’s dreamworld
>>217088435Why do you keep on posting this? I dont get it
>>217088371She looks pretty good for 43.Oh she's 26?
>>217088460Concession accepted
>>217087312Would be better without that AI smile
>>217087164>"I believe... anything that doesn't kill you, only makes you... Stranger"What an odd choice of dialogue.
>>217088387We all lost, dipshit.
>>217087164So at one point this show just gave up and copied The Void?
>>217087393i thought prince didnt fit at all and I like prince. I think the better song for the mike 11 goodbye should have been Time After Time
>>217088381She's almost certainly coming back in the inevitable sequel featuring El though. They use Strahd in the final DnD scene, who is a vampire. Hamilton's character's goal is literally Eleven's blood.
>uh yeah Will I’m cool with you being gay, I guess…but I have to cancel the blood brother thing we were planning…What did Mike mean by this?
>>217088371she’s still cute
>>217088621>duffers lost interest in s3>coasted through 4 and 5 by throwing shit at the wall>thinking there will be a sequelUnless they get metoo'd and their IP stolen a la Whedon, there will be no sequels.
>>217088647>5 hours in photoshop
What were Hawkins residents reaction after guy the considered dead for 3 years and who killed a bunch of American soldiers was reelected to the sheriff office ?
>>217087164I DO NOT BELIEVE.
>>217088653Netflix will send them a wheelbarrow of cash and get the ability to make five spinoff series set in the Stranger Things universe (all of which will flop)
>>217088699> Somehow...Eleven has returned
>>217088678Well, they elected him. Seems like they were fine with it
>>217088711>somehowIt's clear she's alive. It's just really important for the Duffers to not outright say it.
I just finished the season finale. I'll give it some props for not being a trainwreck finale. It didn't hit as well as the S4 finale did, but I don't feel insulted from it.That said>Missing from epilogue sequenceMy Russian-speaking, Commie-hating Murray. Robin's girlfriend they spent 3 seasons on, not even a rooftop mention.>Never brought up again.Suzie. Dr. Owens (last we saw, chained in an occupied bunker). Both police deputies (one made sheriff). Max's mom. Jonathan's stoner friend. Defected Russian prison guard. >Unresolved.Mindflayer dust escape, which was already shown to be alive and a threat in S3.Main human antagonist lady and everything military and its consequences (main cast murdering soldiers?).How flayerstone got to Earth to infect Henry.How Henry's high school play (wasn't he with Brennor from murderous childhood to 11 banishment?) was touched by mindflayer.The fucking bats.How 11 finding 1 created(?) moved(?) exotic matter for bridge.Anything about the S1 retcon in S5 intro, where Vecna had a "plan" for Will, tubed mindflayer dust into him, but somehow still needed to drag him into Upside-Down repeatedly in S2 to mindflayer dust him again to matter.Why Will being dusted made him sensitive to the hivemind proximity but Holly having the same felt nothing in her 5 minute escape.Why Henry's blood could make other psychics but no one else could, yet still assumed 11 could.Why did Vecna need dead victims in S4 but need live victims in S5 (and S1 retcon)?Some lingering questions as a whole, but nothing I'd say that is more jarring than the divergence between S4 finale and S5 start. The 4-gate terraforming Earth, the bats, Vecna getting stronger with every kill, it had a grand stage only to get time-skipped, bandaged (literally), and somehow less tense with more villain preptime. Vecna's only threatening action the entire S5 was mass summoning demogorgons, which permanently vanish the same way as the bats just after.
>>217087164>le funny mexican
>>217087393I love how they marketed getting this huge song that has never been in a movie before and then they play When Doves Cry for like 30 seconds lol. At least milk that shit
>>217088678americans are completely fine with criminals in positions of power
It's like poetry it rhymes
Truest powerscale tierlist
>>217088371Why did they style them so hideously in the epilogue? Nancy looks like a 40 year old corporate soccer mom
>>217088717They elected a man who is legally dead? Is that ok in America?
>>217088699As long as they keep the cost down, ST will probably remain a profitable franchise. They want to do anthologies anyway.
Why the fuck did Steve become a baseball coach and sex ed teacher? What the fuck? Why not a cop or something? Stupid ass ending
>>217088797Fits his personality better than a cop.
>>217088753>never been in a movie before>Purple Rain: The Movie
>>217088726She's obviously not. Kali was clearly dead in the lab. We see her bloody corpse. And even if not, she definitely died in the explosion
Daily remainder that according to the show he gave amnesty to teenage girl and rogue legally dead cop who trespassed into military base and murdered bunch of American soldiers on service
The whole Mindflayer/Abyss sequence was so in the disbelief zone it might as well just a dream sequence or part of the D&D campaign. It feels so out of place with the rest of the show it doesn't even matter to the characters by the end
>>217088786He got better. Like Will.
>>217088811Shut the fuck up you bootlicler, nobody gives a fuck autist
>>217088809All an illusion, kid.
>>217088805A sex ed teacher? When the fuck has Steve shown ANY interest in teaching? And why sex ed of all things? And if he had to be a coach, it should have been basketball, not baseball, as he played basketball in season 2. But I'm probably thinking about this more than the writers did
>>217088831There's no proof of that whatsoever. You can't just make things up that prove your head canon kid
>>217088843In many small schools, the phys ed teacher/coach also teaches sex ed.
>>217088739Oh, and the Henry backstory change was odd.>S4: We moved to [that house] in Hawkings because I was "different" (psychic) and dad hoped a change in scenery would help me.>S5: While already at [that house] in Hawkings, a short walk away and through a cave I found a man in a mine where I got my powers and became different.
Millie looking much older than her actual age is entirely down to how she styles herself. The makeup and lip filler makes her appear older. If you see her without makeup she looks a lot younger.
>the military letting them go after el died
>>217088854>your story doesn't have to end like mine, said the illusionist>duffers have confirmed el never communicated with mike>they specifically refuse to say she's dead
>>217087164If L survived she would have told the others. She can do that from anywhere with her powers without anyone catching wind of it.
>>217088869The military was moved by their romance
>>217088843Not sure if you've noticed but Steve has no connection to the upside down or vecna but helped everyone anyway for the love of the game.It makes sense that he would become the local hero who coaches a kids baseball team.
>>217088859He found the rock in Nevada, anon. There is no desert in Indiana.
>>217088726I'm not sure why though. Do they think it makes the story more meaningful if they don't? I'm not sure either fate for Eleven is especially believable overall, but there's little doubt in my mind that their intent was for her to live simply because of how much work went into giving her a path to survive.
>>217088753>never been in a movie before
>>217088887That would make more sense, but they don't do a good job of presenting the cave as a memory-hopping point, either entrance crack or exit window. It's presented as a physical place a short walk from the main house, with an actual map drawn in-series.
>>217088880Then Mike would try to find her and it all starts again. The whole setup is a direct callback to S1 when pretty much the same things happen. >>217088762
>>217088783Bitch looks like Hillary Rodham Clinton. The early 90s were a bad fucking time for women's fashion. It's accurate.
>>217088893After S5, who knows what they're thinking. Probably they think the debate will make the show live on and people will argue about it for years like Tony Soprano.
>>217088920what the fuck was this scene?
>>217088920based Derek
>>217088920Derek being fucking based. ALSO HOW THE FUCK DID EL GET OFF? DID MIKE MAKE OUT WITH THE CURRY?
name for this reloading maneuver?
>>217088913That's just a memory, anon. There isn't a porthole to Holly's room under the merrygoround, either.
>>217088859This is why I'll never take "plot hole" retards seriously. You really think that cave and desert was in Hawkins you stupid stupid man?
>>217088920>errrm why is this guy le waving at us...they act like their characters haven't been pure rancid shit since season 1, and as if derek isn't superior to them at this point.
>>217088783>>217088944They intentionally dressed them to appear older since 18 months had passed before the epilogue.
>>217088920>"I loved bringing in the younger guys," he said of the child actors who appeared in the show this season. "These kids were … especially [this one boy] — he was following Finn around like a puppy dog. He thought Finn was the coolest.">Matt described it as a "full-circle" moment.>"That's exactly how Finn was with Joe [Keery] back in the day," he continued. "I mean, Finn followed Joe around like a little puppy dog. It was so cute."
>>217089007Gee thanks anon. I'm asking why they styled them so hideously. Not why they styled them differently
>>217089008Is Finn going to princess carry him?
>>217087393because child molestation
>>217089023it was the style at the time
So Will has been part of the hivemind the entire series. Any time the MF, Demo's, or Vecna are attacked, Will gets hurt too. So why the fuck isn't he dead from Vecna and the MF dying?
>>217088811Yes? Publicizing it would make them look both incompetent and evil, not exactly what you'd want coming off of the Iran-Contra scandal.
>>217089036They have Robin mention MJ in ep 1.
>>217088987Right, but they make a point that memory-hopping points are things that don't belong (stated to look for such to Holly). Porthole carousel, doorway in a field, door behind a bookshelf, lab door into school door, stage curtain into window curtain, mineshaft into hellscape. It was always visually clear, and this specific one lacked that, leading me to miss something obvious in hindsight.
>>217089076>don't belongYou mean like a fucking desert mesa in Indiana?
I need to re-watch S1.
>>217089088I don't live in Indiana, mang, but I can tell you that north Prescott and south Prescott is pretty much that exact transition. One side is thickly forested pine trees and lakes for miles to the horizon, the other is dead, flat, treeless prairie desert for miles to the horizon that looks like they should be states apart, yet separated by one little hill.
>>217088985>she used her thumb to clock the bolt handleApologize
>>217088920what did they mean by this?
>yfw Finn reveals Eleven is still alive on the 17th on SNL
>>217078055Holy shit, I knew I had seen him before somewhere.
>>217089176
>>217089153>I don't live in IndianaThen I'll spell it out for you: There is no desert in Indiana.
>>217088647>InterNOPE
>>217087164looks like someone challenged him to see how much shit he could hang on his christmas tree
>>217087544I love Millie
>>217089335More like a skinwalker trying to mimic human behavior without even understanding what he's doing.
>>217087164the question of whether she's alive or not feels like trying to figure out if Charlie Kirk is alive or not but even that is easier to figure. the Duffer Shitwriters made a none-sensical ending that doesn't support either ending they proposed.
>>217089384It doesn't matter if she's alive or not because we're never going to know. If you never open the box, it really doesn't matter if the cat is alive.Deep stuff.
>>217088811are the soldiers supposed to be Americans or Russians?
>>217088371>>217088647
>>217088739>>217089153Most of your points are good but the one regarding a cave being near a forest and that cave being a transition into a desert is a little bit weak of a writing problem.To be fair to you the transition between one memory to another (House > Woods > Cave > Desert > Abandoned Well/Mineshaft) is weirdly more geographically coherent than all other examples (High School Theatre > Curtain > House), (Woodland > Floating Door > Mindscape).It is only a little odd (based on knowledge of state geography) rather than bizzaro fantastically odd (based on any experience in the real world).
>>217089384Anyone that thought Kirk was alive was a fucking idiot.

>>217089519if you think Charlie is dead, you're a retard https://youtu.be/tBOZxBV-gB8?si=GQhnWmK-XwNHkalv
>>217089602Is he with Tupac in Cuba?
>>217089547I think he looks up to Mike because he's Holly older brother and he saved them from the camp in episode 3. He's also a nerd who's into D&D
>>217089046They addressed this
>actual Byler meltdownI thought you people were exaggerating https://x.com/eIsbangs/status/2007227320604733611
>>217089529She would kill him immediately though
>>217089511Thanks. It makes sense in hindsight, but I missed it completely in the show. Doesn't help that I've been somewhere with a very similar geographic transition, so it seemed natural enough to me in the moment. Pic related for the curious. Top pic is south of Glassford Hill, bottom pic is north of Glassford Hill.
>>217087295Dustin has that America 2030 Big Boss phenotype.

>>217089790HOW DID HE KNOW?
>>217089782>b-but they was hinting about Mike liking men :(>inserts headcanon
>>217089790>video was uploaded 2 months ago
>military stopped looking for eleven in the 18 months gap and wrapped up their operation>”if she were to be alive, she could never risk any contact cuz that wud be dangeruz cuz dey are alwayz watchin”Honestly the thing that irks me the most.Im fine with their open ending idea, her disappearance being the end of their magic childhood. Them moving on with their adult lifes and all. I think that fits. But why close the door for ANY possible future reconnection? Feels like such a big fuck you to her character, framing it as unrealistic when even Max got to be 100% up and functioning again.I like the idea that she has a new chance at life for which she gets to choose the definition of, and at an appropiate moment of time she gives them a little insight into it.
remember when murray was alright
>>217089790>IT WASNT SUPPOSED TO BE A DOCUMENTARY
>>217089790Duffer bros really watched this and were inspired by it KEK
>>217089771Maya looks like a homeless on the street asking for pennies
>>217087164I don't know how absolutly no anons commented this (really prove the decline of /TV/) but they did that gay ass zillenial tropes rencently done in any High production slopes like late game of thrones, Star wars the lesbian cove, Watchmen the we wuz manhattanThat scene when the character says I believe and they all repeat it dumbass cryingWhy do they do that ? Nobody does it in real life and it looks fake and gay as fuck>lets just repeat all the same sentence and it will look cool and we united
>>217089925>Eleven reconnection in the futureIm sure they thought of that but too many people are already accepting the survival ending so they have to make up some last minute bs in order to stir up discussion
>>217089925the open ending sucked. it made no fucking sense. there is no way she could have escaped those soldiers and go to the portal unnoticed. they're treating the viewers like retards. it's a big fuck you to people who watched this show over the years.
>>217089936he is mostly being an asshole to somebody when he's on the screen. I hate him.
>So the Earth cracked.........And Netflix didn't have the cash to pay for a full scale invasion plot?
>>217088678He saved the world chud, what did the other sherriff candidate do?
>>217089936He would have been fine in this season too if they'd just turned the quippiness down about 500%
>>217090081So, if the WORLD CRACKED OPEN in Season 4, where are the legions of monsters in Season 5?
Do you think every entity in the Upside-Down and The Abyss is automatic-evil, now that the Mind Flayer/Vecna have been slain?
>>217090120this is what i expected to happenthen we got nothingeverything just reset back to normalwe must kill the vecna!
>>217090145I assume the military killed them and immediately sealed the gates and told everyone to stay home.
>>217090169The military didnt do shit, they were the bad guys in this whole scenario
>>217088678Hawkins residents didn't know about that, and they were pretty upset with the black guy who became sheriff in season 4.
>>217087164lilzoomerbro
>>217090166Yeah that was annoying. We didn't even get a Hot Monster Chick.
>>217090176No you somehow did much worse, you dumb cunt.
>>217090169>Immediately killed themThey could barely handle a handful of Demogorgons.Global invasion SHOULD have happened in Season 3.
>>217087164They brought the 'coming out scene' and used it throughout the finale gayifying it too. The last half was nostalgia party for the nostalgia party flick. Really bad. But who cares they made their money.
>>217090220Then it's another clear demonstration of the Duffer's shitty writing. it should have been like a zombie apocalypse. maybe they were too lazy to do it.
Pretty Baby remake with Holly when?>>217089485This scene surprised me because she looked so old. Then I looked it up and she's only 27.
>>217089529>>Joyce will be excluded because she is with Will during his hospice stayfucking kek
why was eddie so cool brosat least there was 1 good role model in this show
You just know Steve is the only one who will always attend those meetings.
>>217090176>>217090207Yeah we elected a guy that sucks dicks kek
Spin off idea.>eleven is a serial killer>lt. ackers death is her signature move>government does not understand the framed suicides >everyone fails in their investigation or ends up killed>they hire a master criminal as their intelligence agent>it turns out to be steve, who has actually lead a double live>acted liked he stayed in hawkins so no one suspects>comes close to the truth>steve realises it’s el>confronts her>”Israel needs to be defeated Steve, once and for all”>immediately convinced, he then destroys all the evidence pointing to herAll is well.
>>217089485>Wasn't in a relationship with VickieCome on!
>>217088884Steve is the one good character. Turns face. Saves the boring seasons. Helps everyone with he could just leave. Overcomes oneitis. Is the best bro. Doesn't kill military people just doing their job. Comes up with plan to win in the end. Doesn't just abandon his home town. He's unironically the real hero and the only one with character development.
>>217090290anon you are confused
>>217090176Oh look, the magatard fresh off of /r/thedonald thinks he owns the place now.
>>217090205Seriously, this show needed one Hot Monster Girl.
>hopper's entire character arc was built up around sacrificing himself to save El>doesnt want to lose another kid>huge sappy scene right before the end that solidifies this>uh nah just kidding, El does it, maybe, also hopper actually doesnt care all that much in the end, hes fine actually
>>217090293Steve best Stranger.
>>217090342They swept that WAY too fast under the rug.>Hopper and Eli have huge bond!>Oh wait, they don't!Insulting.

>>217090322She is if you believe.
>>217090342>she didnt have a choice, i do*clap clap clap everybody cries clap clap clap*How did you miss this?
>>217088082You know whats going on on Tumblr and TikTok right now, don'tchu?They're calling it conformitygate.Similar to cutgate, but not started by "leakers" who claimed that, Netflix forced the Fluffer Bros to cut nearly 3hrs of footage to maintain the TV-14 rating.Conformitygate is, that the show isn't over, there's one episode left. That's the mega super cool "Plot Twist." I won't go into all the fan theories, but they have made some sus connections about the ending. But the meat of it is, Mike Wheeler and the Party lost to Vecna and they are now all imprisoned in his mind. That's why the boss fight was so short and easy and the epilogue was all fucked off.Personally, I think the Fluffer Bros, tried to imitate the ending of Inception, since none of their ideas are really their own and they're shit creatives, they fucked it all up and now have to explain in interviews, why the final season was such a fucking mess. Only did it to leave the ending open ended for future spin offs.
>>217090391Vickie is vacuuming Robin's carpet with her roomba.
>>217088843Steve is a sports guy in general. He was also on the swimming team, and probably played baseball too, we just didn't see it.
>>217090342Thats because he knows Eleven is alive. Owens contacted him to let him know so he just sees it as her being in an overseas college for a very prolonged time. Thats why he can easily accept it. he will take Joyce to a europe surprise trip at some point so she will know about it too. Eventually they will tell the rest but mike because they will be mature about itEleven made Jim promise to her that Mike cannot move on from her. If he does move on, he should absolutely destroy that by telling him that Elevens still alive
>>217090402They needed 2 more seasons for a "Monsters Invade Our World" thing.
>>217088739Murray is at the graduation sitting next to Mr. Clarke.
>>217090391It's like a choose your own adventure book, if they just ignore half the plot points they set up previously, you get to have fun and imagine what happens, it's a different finale for everyone!
>>217090342>El does it, maybe, also hopper actually doesnt care all that much in the end, hes fine actually18 months have past anon. Everyone is sad but is getting on with their lives and not crying every 30 seconds. Even Mike is implied to be mostly functional and enjoying hanging out with his friends except when graduating and the idea of moving on triggers him.
>>217090120She cute. Is this show any good?
>>217090391>Its up to the viewer to decide!What the fuck is their problem?
>>217090444Did they...?
>>217090492yes
>>217090391they broke up because autism and adhd isnt a good match afterall.Both Nancy’s present job and her former college were just an hours drive from Smiths for Robin. Its obvious why they wanted them to be in the same state.

>>217090581Speaking of which, Erica could get it.
>>217090620Butterface mutt is such a type nowadays. IIRC the mutt they cast in the Little Mermaid conformed to this too. Ugly mutt but banging body with nice tits and ass.
I liked the finale on new years but looking back that was just the nostalgia factor of seeing those kids you met a decade ago growing up and the cast looking sad as shit. the fight was Marvel CGI and ends stupidly, they clearly barely thought anything out 11s ending makes no sense whether you're in the lived or died camp on top of that other stuff left too open ended and the Duffer bros won't shut up giving interviews. I feel bitter.
Is it just me or did season 4 just feel a lot bigger than season 5? Both in terms of the show itself and its cultural impact. You got people everywhere talking about the Kate Bush scene and Eddie. Now you only have people mocking Will's coming out scene and how old the characters look.
>>217090644>Duffer bros won't shut up giving interviews. I feel bitter.Did Benioff and Weiss keep digging their own grave deeper and deeper after GoT finale too or did they, sensibly, go radio silent? The apologist redditors were already doing explaining away shit for them (le demos melted down into MF spider) till they, in a very D&D fashion, said Vecna 'forgot' to summon the demos like how Dany forgot about the Iron Fleet lel
Robin and Steve should've had a sex scene
>>217087164so now that this is over.. is this garbage actually worth watching? i deliberately never watched it because i felt insulted with how artificially it was promoted to make netflix a big thing
>>217090659Not just you. Seasons 3 and 4 both felt bigger in scope and scale, were more epic, and had a much bigger cultural impact. The hype was real. Season 5 is boring and poorly made, and somehow feels really rushed despite the fact it took them 4 years to make it.
>>217090694Robin should have been straight and Steve's love interest, without a doubt. Her character should not have survived season 3 as it stands.
>>217090722i didnt watch it but i just instinctively know its shit
>>217090726>s2 - an entire federal facility of scientists and soldiers get slaughtered whilst the town is being infected with the tunnels and a shadow demon very nearly enters our world>s3 - tiny fragment of said shadow demon kills dozens upon dozens of people before the mall burns down>s4 - the prelude to the final battle where a massive x shaped gate is permanently open and the cliffhanger of it infecting our world>s5 - uugh... like 20 soldiers die in a military outpost and that's it. Some some keedz go missing for a dayExcluding s1, Hawkins never had it peachier than in the ultimate climatic ebin final season lol
>>217090644I was about to give the episode of 2/10 and the worst finale of a show ever until the last 10 minutes with Mike and friends doing the D&D.
what happened to Nancy after she got sent to Guantanamo Bay for treason?did they graped her? unalived her ?
>>217090722Yes, the show is good. Season 5 is underwhelming but still enjoyable and the ending is better than most shows.
>>217090841Cute edit. Based edit upon the edit will be Millie made into Scooby
>>217090831yeah that scene was pretty much the best part of the episode schmaltzy as shit and again hard carried by the fact the cast were genuinely breaking down in tears every 30 seconds so the emotion was real.
>>217090644>>217090831The final battle part was really underwhelming, but I really enjoyed the epilogues.
>>217090722Just watch S1 and pretend it ended there.
>>217090769Robin as bisexual would be the ideal imo. I felt that Robin and Steve had the best chemistry of any characters.
>>217090891Where the hell did the 500 million dollar budget even fucking go? With money like that they could have had an Return of the King-tier battle between the army and the monsters in the Upside Down whilst the Party kill Vecna/MF.
>>217090889But I did love it I forgot to add.
>>217090915thousands of chatgpt inquiries
>duffers admitted in the past they punched wills fake body and filmed it>literally call it noah>attempted to scare his mother by sending a video of the fake body >mike is their self insert aka they want to watch a gay young kid pine for them>added a lumax kiss scene after sadie admitted she was uncomfortable>recently joked about writing noah off the show bcs of his responses>noah recently advised child actors to get therapy What did the Schneider bros. mean by this?
>>217090915cast wages alone probably swallowed up about 90 million. All the boys and Sadie got 7 million each, Harbour and Ryder were on 9 everyone else got a big pay bump for this season too
All I wanted was a beach episode
>>217090946They really are a Netflix version of Benioff and Weiss if that's all true
>>21709091515M went on music licensing. A big chunk would've gone on actor retention. CGI budget was likely huge because nothing looks like it was shot practically.
>>217090402>the show isn't over, there's one episode left>Mike Wheeler and the Party lost to Vecna and they are now all imprisoned in his mind.That would be pretty cool if they tricked everyone with a fake-out finale like that.Don't think I've ever seen a show do that before.Although the money bugs would make them advertise the secret extra episode for like a month before they could actually drop it on us.
>>217090915450m -> prince's estate45m -> cast5m -> cgi0m -> writers
>>217090402>writing is so bad that fans cope and act like all the inconsistencies are a secret plot from the start and that the real ending is comingI remember when they did this with mass effect 3, good times.
>>217090986>>the show isn't over, there's one episode leftWell it certainly isn't.>huge cash cow>11 ambigious ending, so she's alive lol>many of the actors won't have anything better to do in time>not only will there by nostalgia for Stranger Things itself but also 90s and even early 2000s (nostalgia, as in January 1st 2000 to September 8th 2001 nostalgia)It's a total foregone conclusion they will do some special followup adventure in time. This is a given with many shows (like Big Bang Theory having some reunion thing in 2029)
>>217090946Noah will be making a documentary about this
>>217090946its kind of hilarious because Noahs one of the kids they liked more by all accounts. They bigged up his role this season because he asked added scenes he wanted and send him dad memes by text. They must be dressing as ghosts and burning crosses outside Calebs bedroom .
>>217091053>tar and feather millie on 4th july>coordinate campaign to spam all of sink's social media with the south park soulless gingers meme on her birthday
>>217090986I'm with the fanfic theorists on this one, I really am. It would be fucking cool if it were true. But, I just think the Fluffers, fumbled their way to success, got fucking lucky with lightning in a bottle and never had any original ideas of their own.Some are speculating, it was Ross' ex-wife who had all the good ideas and when she divorced him, halfway through writing S5, that's why everything went to shit so fast in the final episodes. Big if true, if it really is a fake out Finale. It would be the greatest troll in the history of media. And honestly, a pretty creative idea.
>>217090402>>217091020I was going to say, this really reminds me of Caramel and the other retards on /v/ who still insist the real ending of MGSV is going to come (when that game is now over 10 years old)
>>217090946Why would they do that to a child? The fuck is wrong with them?>Guys, I don't think those guys are good guys
>>217090402>Conformitygate is, that the show isn't over, there's one episode left.Lmao this literally happened 9 years ago with BBC Sherlock and that fanbase, as with the ST one, was infected with a mentally ill devotion to a gay ship
>>217090883>>217090893thanks! i will at least give S1 a watch and then decide from there
Season 2:MF sends a hoard of demodogs to kill the governemnt flamethrower NPCs, even luring them into tunnels with tentacles knowing the gov couldnt resistFinale:Not a single demo-monster in the abyss, MF outsmarted by a "sneak attack" despite having eyes all over through multiple people he controlled
>>217090921Who's the Mexican?
>>217091045He really should.I sorta had this feeling that, their were good enough people around the kids, to protect them from the Dan Schneider types in H'wood. Guess I was wrong.
>>217091053>funkopop pfpMakes sense now
Is this the show where the two directors forced a child to have her first kiss on screen with a black guy specifically because they saw that the idea of it made her horribly uncomfortable and then made a hero out of a woman who was going to abandon her family to fuck a minor?
>>217091168What are you talking about? He's the 5th friend who always hung around with the gang
>>217090946He’s a Jew
>>217091186Yes
>>217091116>the divorce happening during s5 writingThey are so done
>>217091158I will keep reiterating what I ranted about in here: >>217090584. They could have had an epic LotR-tier battle AND not made their villains absolute fucking retards if they were preoccupied with the US Army coming at them as our heroes worked to kill Vecna from within whatever lair he is holed up in. What they did to MF was even more unforgivable stupid when you consider that a fragment of him wrecked so much havoc in S3. One fragment. With s3 in mind, simply sending his essense our everywhere to possess everything in sight is a billion times more effective and smarter and common sense than a retarded lumbering kaiju.
>>217091127It's not just the Bylers, the Milevens are into it too. And the GA is getting wise to it also.The Bylers and Milevens are joining forces, those fandoms are both hella pissed.
>>217091025Nobody is nostalgic for 00s. It was dogshit decade with godawful fashion sense, tv shows and movies. This is where everything started go wrong. The 80s and 90s are the two main nostalgiabaiting decades. Zoomers will eventually be nostalgic for 10s because they don't know any better and to them it was awesome.
>>217091168How did you miss this, he was always around>>217091197This
>>217091186Although the idea that Max would be physically attracted to Lucas is comical, them having zero chemistry or stuff in common is even more bizarre when you consider that Lucas was the cynic of s1. They transferred all the sarcastic cynic stuff onto Max in s2 and Lucas, the character, was left as a lovesick puppy rather than vibing with her based on their compatible temperaments.
>>217091234Gee i must have missed the part where all zoomers are trying to look like they are in the early 2000s kek
>>217091134But seriously though, it's not worth watching beyond S1, it's pure soul and perfect television. The other seasons are as you described, Netlifx being faggots.
>>217091173All of the unsubtle molestation undertones and overtones in this show, especially season 5 (Vecna shoving phallic alien tentacles down children's throats and the first one he did it too is a traumatized gay, dressing up the cute 12 year old girl like a porn version of Dorothy from Wizard of Oz and having her play housewife to the groomer who kidnapped her, etc), are the producers/creators/etc telling on themselves. The true crime documentary Netflix produces about themselves in 10 years over this show is going to be wild.
>>217091168Think he owned the trailer yard they decided to take pictures at for some reason
>>217091233Byler makes no sense to me, in that I've seen rage over them queerbaiting. Where? As dumb as people were to seriously think Johnlock was happening, there actually are arguments that the showrunners (one of whom is gay) did queerbait. I see zero of that in ST, only a gayboi emotionally tormented over the fact his feelings for a straight friend will always be unrequited
>>217091168Replacement for El, El Dorado
>>217091186Yes, this was during the height of the Netflix blacked era where every production had to have such a couple, no matter how little sense it made story wise.
>>217091173I mean they all... Well possible exception of Millie, seem to have made it out relatively OK.
>>217090946>>> they want to watch a gay young kid pine for them>>continue with child sa metaphorsWhat did they mean with this?
>>217091264>not pictured are their smiles disappearing as soon as Millie arrived, with her sagging breasts, bloated pot belly, dressed like a cross between a British slag holidaying in Spain and a hooker from NYC's cheapest red light district, and seemingly have spent all her money on botox and facial surgeries
>>217087164a show that started as a eerie supernatural thriller adult drama ended with faggotry, feminism, "muh anticapitalist short movie" and coalburningNetflix is aiming to destroy original and creative storytelling on both TV and cinema. when the WB deal is done, we're cooked forever
>>217091250In what way exactly? I don't see zoomers walking about with spiky gel hair.
>>217091294They must have been groomed and molested as children and have continued the cycle on their cast of children.
>>217091045I hope they will eventually release behind-the-scene and the table read videos. It will be better than the actual show
>>217091316NTA but as someone who doesn't really keep up to date with the latest trends, I have noticed the uptick in baggy clothing/jeans
>>217091325As awful as ST ended up being, Wolfhard and Gaten seem like funny fellows. They carried this little Bri'ish style 80s Christmas dinner video the four did whilst Noah remained entirely silent and his eyes darting around all creepily and the black occassionally said something amusing
>>217091316>nu metal>goth>saggy clothes>cd players>ipodsCome on now kek
>>217091288>hhSeems like none of the kids are into hard drugs or starting to drink heavily.Finn probably has smoked some of that prime BC bud tho.
>>217091294>make the gay kids brother creep on the self inserts sister dressing up>make them a coupleWtf…
>>217091348>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN6MbFfdiwQI quite like this they all contribute at least
>>217088150>S3, Russians build a mall as a decoy and have a massive base underground. They open a new portal which activates the fragment of the Mind Flater that was exercised out of Will. It mindfucks Billy and builds a flesh body out of animals and people from the town. Hop and Joyce close the gate, the Flesh Flayer and Billy both die. El loses her powers, Hop is presumed dead. The Beyers move to California and El joins them. This was obviously intended as the series finale.>S4, some new spooky nigga is horrifically murdering kids in Hawkins to open more Gates. He targets Max. This is revealed to be Brenner's original first subject, Henry aka One. One wad banished to another dimension by El, and he "created" the Mind Flayer out of particles. El was looking for One when she contacted the Demo and created the UD. Also for some reason Hop is in Russia so Joyce and Murray go to save him. One temporarily kills Max, causing rifts to appear all over Hawkins. The groups all rejoin at the end of the season, One is wounded but not killed.>S5, times kippers. Hawkins is under military quarantine, and periodically Hop travels into the US to confirm if One is alive or dead. One befriends kids around Hawkins, including Holly, and eventually abducts them. Will discovers he can jack into the hive mind when he's newer One. The UD is discovered to be a wormhole connecting Earth to the other dimension (Abyss). One needs the mids to forcibly smash the Abyss into Earth, and due to the damage caused in S4, merge them. One was picked by the Mind Flayer as a kid to be his vessel, so the two share a symbiotic relationship. One is killed by El, Will, and Joyce, which also destroys the Flayer. Everyone is happy and El stayed behind when the UD was destroyed, but maybe not.There you go
>>217088812I still don't get why the upside down and the abyss had to be 2 different dimensions. And they treat the reveal as something so shocking that it will change everything while effectively just providing a different (more boring) background for the final fight.
>>217091365natalia and maya got awfully thin on the other hand. And didnt noah have a news article about being violently drunk in a club or something
I think the epilogue sort of reflects the future of the characters' real life counterparts>Mike the storyteller - Finn is already a director and script writer making indie movies>El who's gone - Millie is married and will distance herself from the show>Max dating Lucas - Sadie is a mudshark idk>Will in gay bar - Noah is gay this one is obvious>Dustin going to college studying science - Maybe Gaten will pursuit another career instead of acting idk
if you watched this gay shit congratulations you're a braindead NPC faggot
>>217091427So the Duffers totally got cold feet over Vecna being the main bad guy after s4 so that's why MF got added back in at the 11th hour? Because Vecna realising didn't change anything, and obviously them revealing ze truth and making a mystery of it only makes sense if Vecna getting his reality shattered is relevant to the outcome. But it was not, meaning nothing would have changed if in s4 they made it crystal clear that Vecna is the Vader figure to MF's Palpatine
>>217091269>kek'dI dunno, mate. Bylers have a point. Mike looks at Will's lips a lot. He definitely treats Will completely different than his other friends in S2. He's unable to tell Jane he loves her, in every season, only saying I love you, after encouragement from Will in S4. Homeboy can't even say, I love you, when Jane is telling him she's going off to die. It's all pretty sus if you ask me.
>>217091333That wasn't 00s fashion. Only wiggers liked baggy clothes and theirs looked different from the ones zoomers wear, which are oversized. Moreover, it's girls who are wearing baggy clothes, which wasn't a thing in 00s. If you want to see what the actual fashion sense of 00s millennial teens was look no further than Harry Potter and Twilight movies. Blue jeans and tightly fitting hoodies was the defining look of the 00s.
>>217091442I mean the kids and not the teens from the show. Probably Ozempic for them, maybe cocaine. Charlie wasn't allowed in the country for S3, I think? When traces of the drug were found on his luggage at the border.We've all gotten bad fuck drunk when we were teens/young adults. So, that's not surprising. But I've never heard that story.
>>217091442>And didnt noah have a news article about being violently drunk in a clubForgotten about that I think I heard a rumour he got into a fight with his boyfriend or something
>>217091445>Sadie is a mudsharkwith a white guy
>>217089936https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2go4EfB3W4
>>217091546sauce?
>>217091445Sadie doesn't like black guys irl. They made a huge deal over her feeling grossed out when she was forced to kiss Lucas onscreen for the first time ever as a kid. Without a doubt a bit traumatized by that.
>>217091575>12/13 not wanting her first kiss to be filmed with a non-bf/someone she doesn't fancyPeople running with this as prove she's a FUCKING NAZI CHUD that hates Black America (never forget to capitalize the B) is plausible, the way that fauxmoi simply runs with Chris Pratt have a eugenics-esque hatred of his disabled son or Sweeney being a white supremacist based on the shoddiest of evidence
>>217091626I didn't say she was racist. I said she's not attracted to blacks.
>>217091670That's our normal defintion of not being a racist anon. Not theirs.
>>217091694Well. I think their entire race should be killed anyway, so I don't care what they think.
>>217091706Jesus that's way too accurate
>>217091556Certified based
>>217087312I habeeb.
>>217088501they tried but Wolfhard kept nearly throwing up so this was the best they could do
Vecnal noo...
>>217088920He's waving to his future brother in law
>>217089687Translation>he stopped being connected because the camera wasnt pointing at him
Kojima rike it
>>217090342>"I need you to trust me to make the right choice. I'm an adult!">this comes immediately after a heartfelt speech where she is seemingly convinced it's okay for her to live and reclaim the life that was stolen from her>lol, no, gonna die anyways :PRetard writiers
>>217092060I think this is what many, who didn't even like how it ended, felt. It kind of seemed what Drinker said as well, that it feels like the end of a chapter of life, arbitrary, sure, but some sort of era is over for good.
I might be stupid.Didn't they keep implying that whatever was behind that door was the source of the "Kryptonite"? Like they thought it was Vecna, then Hopper went in and it turned out to be Niggeleven and it stopped the sound?So why did they still have the ability to use the fucking things after they took the power source out? Did I miss something?
>>217090584I agree with you but it's really fucking gay to screencap your own posts broIt's less cringe to just write up a concise really long effortpost and just repost it once in a whileFaggot
>>217092127Wait a minute... You're right. Kali was what was powering their anti-psychic weapons. Those should not have been a thing again at all after they rescued her. Fucking hell.
>>217091626you sound like a fuckin fag
>Lucas and max>Their love continues to grow and they find happiness!>Dustin>He studies to continue his academic career but still remains true to himself!>Will>He goes to California to get fucked in the ass by strangers he met in a gay bar!This is intentional parody at this point right
>>217092060The sixty year old speaks as if he grew up watching this show kek. Why is Basedjima such an infantile?
>>217092258The mid 00s was a pivotal moment in his life. He worked at Konami pretty much his entire adult life, and then he got fired and decided to create his own company and become his own man. It was obviously a period for him that came with a lot of change and growing up as he had to step outside of his comfort zone for the first time in decades.
>>217090831It was good, but not good enough to recover from the feeling of emptiness the rest of the finale left me withAlso I don't believeIt doesn't make sense and I'm not going to accept the copeIt's not just that El died. The season 1 finale where El died was perfect because she sacrificed herself to save her friends. It was excellent. The series finale she killed herself because the writers created the second worst sideplot and antagonist in the entire series who is simultaneously completely incompetent yet powerful enough to prevent El from living a normal life. Her death is the writer's solution to a bad story they created. This idea of>oh, there was never an ending where she was hanging out in the basement with themIs simply retarded because they literally had this ending already two fucking times and it was better. S2 and s3 could have ended the show with her living a normal life and being happy without the government hunting her down.
