You know I think part of the ending would have been a lot less stupid if Eleven/Illusioneven baited evil military lady and the rest of the soldiers into the upside down as it exploded. Like they saw her, immediately dropped everything to chase her in and it took them all with it.

Like how do you even explain them all just fucking leaving? What they just got bored and forgave the scooby doo gang for killing hundreds of their brothers in arms? Hell I was at least expecting Black military guy to maybe switch sides after seeing just what the fuck they were up against and losing so many men to vecna and maybe stage a coup.

They saw el die, what more do you want them to do?
>>
>>217092657
They waterboarded the crew and the crew said "idk it was all eleven" or maybe just told them the truth and then teh military was like "hmmm eleven is alive we should let these retards go to use as bait in case eleven tries to contact them again".

At least that's my headcanon, it was handled extremely poorly, could have just shown that in a 10 minute scene.

Take them to a black site, torture them, then execute them for blowing up teh strange matter and killing us military, and incinerate the bodies was one option. Since it's already established they got no problem holding a bunch of pregnant women or 8 or all the psychic kids at various blacksites.

You can’t do that to high schoolers and 10 year olds buddy. Maybe with Hooper but they probably worked out a plea deal off screen like they did in season 1. Let’s not forget the crimes the military committed. Hooper could expose that, from all the shit in season 1, and like I said, they think El is dead after seaosn 5, so they wouldn’t bother.

As for the gap between season 4 and 5, it would be useless because again, you can’t do shit to high schoolers and Hooper absolutely wouldn’t budge in any sort of questioning. Also he was supposed to be dead after season 3.

>>217092787
Mind flayer AIDS fly out the S4 portals, infecting people in Hawkins. Military puts steel plates on top of the portals. Mind controlled hawkinsites, lead by Vecna, are secretly building a large gate/transponder/whatever that will bring Mind Flayer in its entirety to Earth. Sarah Connor meanwhile gets infected by mind flayer while interrogating a caught mind controlled hawkinsite.

MCs discover some hawkinsites are mind controlled, start fighting MFs plan. Mind controlled Sarah Connor sends soldiers after MCs. 11 gets sidetracked fighting soldiers or w/e, gets captured via military sounds cannons, Sarah Connor uses 11 as an additional MF conduit. Low point, all is lost vibes. End chapter 1.

Chapter 2, MCs sans 11 find Vecna and the portal in some tentacle cave via Will connect, wreck Vecna by hitting him till he dies + Will disable, Will somehow learns MF plan/where 11 is held/about Sarah Connor as Vecna dies, portal is also destroyed, part of mind controlled hawkinsites are now free of mind control. Max wakes up.

MCs are busy trying to free 11. Meanwhile the remaining mind controlled hawkinsites (Wheelers parents too) abduct kids to jury rig a new portal using kids brainpower. MF uses Harry's consciousness it saved in itself to manipulate kids or whatever. MCs free 11, kill Sarah Connor, MCs are overjoyed, but horrified 11 tells them a new portal is being built using kids.

Finale, they find the new portal, start disabling it, MF starts coming through prematurely, 11 holds it off but fails once demogorgons and other critters come through, military arrives with flamers/sound cannons, they wreck MF together, portal is closed, 11 loses her powers, Owens arrives and goes "ok 11 can now do whatever, we don't care about her without her powers, cheers".

It's all they have. They have no value, do nothing of value and everything is just attention seeking because that's the closest they'll ever get to validation. Because truth is, even they realise there is something wrong with them and there is no fulfilment in being with someone of the same sex as partner and pretending it's a real relationship. Being an lgbtpedofile is their entire personality and entire life because they have nothing else. They don't drink, they go to lgbtpedofile bars. They don't read, or watch TV or listen to music unless it's by fellow lgbtpedofiles or their "allies". They are terminally online to promote lgbtpedofilia because the slightest attention is like oxygen to them and they should be deprived of it completely

Well, for one, there should have been an army of demogorgons for them to fight. The military should have been involved battling them too. I pictured Steve and Dustin surrounded killing dozens of them with their spears and fighting tooth and nail to survive (like with the bats in 4). I imagined El, Kali, and Will having a psychic battle against Vecna and the Mindflayer in its shadow form, not a giant spider monster that they killed with molotovs and a flamethrower.

Overall, it just needed massively increased stakes and scale instead. It needed to feel like a desperate final stand. It needed more creativity. The season made multiple call backs to Return of the Jedi and Return of the King, but does not come close to mirroring either of them. The kids simply did walk into Mordor and then casually blew up the Death Star and beheaded Sauron with ease. There was no tension, there was no point at which any of them were really in danger, they faced zero resistance along the way, and almost none of them even needed to be there because they barely contributed to the fight. All of this would have been resolved with building out the climactic battle to be a multi-front assault against overwhelming odds like the two movies mentioned.

This is definitely not true. Some of the only legitimate alcoholics I've ever met are openly gay. They are all universally fucked in the head with addictions to drugs and alcohol because it keeps the disgust and shame and repressed abuse away just enough. You're otherwise right though, casual sex is literally the only thing they ever think about. It is all consuming, day in and day out when they aren't sucking dick in some public bathroom somewhere they are scrambling to find someone new to meet in a bathroom somewhere. They are porn addict gooners x10000000000

>>217094078
Because they didn't care at all about what they were writing or making anymore. The sheer apathy of everyone involved in this season pours through the screen. The writing was poor. The acting was poor. The special effects seemed worse in spots (and the show leaned way more heavily on CGI over practical effects and real sets). You can plainly see how most of the cast were just phoning it in and ready to be done in almost every scene, with a few exceptions like Jamie Campbell Bowers and Sadie Sink who were still trying to give their best performances, or the various new kids who were excited to be there.

It's the same mistake as the guys behind Game of Thrones made. Those two retards had already gotten signed to multiple other show and movie deals, so they figured it didn't matter anymore and they could just half-ass it. And then in the wake of that show's final season bombing with audiences, they lost every project they got attached to as punishment for failure. The Duffers had other projects and were over this show so they stopped trying. I'm sure it will also not pay off for them long term.

3 was the worst season by far. Almost felt like a parody.
>>
>>217094263
In retrospect, Vecna should have still been recognizable as the actor under the makeup, like how he appeared after he got burnt by the lightning and was wondering around the piss coloured realm in that s4 flashback. Of course that was a nonstarter in s4 to preserve the twist of who Vecna is, but by s5? ST is essentially capeshit, they easily could have had Vecna = gets more powerful = some old wounds heal so his face and voice make it easier for the actor to come out. Would it have made total sense? Not really but the performance would have been better
>>
>>217094321
Wrongest opinion I've ever seen. 3 is the best season and the show peaked there. It genuinely should have been the series finale.

I'll keep saying it, 1 and 2 together are fine and share the original gloomy and fairly grounded tone. 3 and onward was where it became quippy and comical and characters went off the rails.
>>
>>217094322
It would have matched better with the underlying theme of the characters discovering Henry's own fears and "humanity", and realizing he was corrupted and used by the Mindflayer just like Will and Billy. I guess it would have been a bit too "Darth Vader without his helmet" though.
>>
>>217094449
Season 3 is the last time the show had a coherent plot and villain. Once they destroyed the mindflayer avatar, it was basically over. Which is why they had to create Vecna and alter the story to keep it going. Seasons 4 and 5 don't actually mesh with what the continuity happening in 1-3 much and might as well be a totally different story.
>>
>>217092407
1 > 2 > 4 > 3 > 5

At its worst season 2 is a somewhat boring retread with one obnoxious episode, but at its best it depicts the next step in the lives of the characters while preserving some semblance of actual human emotion. That's not to say that subsequent seasons are never entertaining or even that they're never touching, but it doesn't feel like the same world that had Hopper sad-call his ex-wife and made a good scene out of it, or an exasperated Jonathan arguing with his mother about her inability to mourn. Imagine how irritating Robin would be in the first two seasons, or Dr. Kay's Saturday morning antagonism.

They were definitely on the outs by the time you get to s3 premier. There was a reasonably substantiated rumour from twitter they ended up having a massive fight during the early filming of s5 and just couldn't stand each other by that point which does tie in with why she never hung out with the cast including Noah who she actually likes unless he was solo and the whole Harbour complaint situation.
>>
>>217094508
That I agree with despite the tonal shift. The plot was wrapped up nicely at that point and Hopper's sendoff and the Byers moving away etc. was a very good finale.

In other words, Finn and Millie have unresolved, subconscious sexual tension from her marrying someone else after they had played boyfriend and girlfriend in a show for 10 years since they were 12 years old, and it boiled over into a fight.

This is real. On some level the distance between a 45 year old parent and a 25 year old parent is shorter than the distance between a 25 year old parent and a 25 year old bachelor. Things really do change immediately.

According to the extras, Millie was always hard to work with even before the fallout. Her and Noah as well
>>
>>217094760
That's why I said subconscious. Even if they were never attracted to or interested in each other irl, you have to understand the psychological implications of them spending a decade of their lives having to roleplay a romance through their entire late childhood and teenage years. That would be extremely confusing and hard to reconcile in the face of reality.

Hell, even adult actors have trouble with this. Just look at how mindfucked Pam from The Office is over her TV marriage to Jim. To this day she's obsessed with John Krasinski because she can't separate their roles from herself. I'm guessing there are elements of this at play with Millie and Finn that only therapy could fix. Teenage romance roles are psychologically damaging if the two actors don't end up playing out the relationship in real life too (it's why so many of those types of co-stars do end up dating for real, and is the healthiest way through it).
>>
>>217094775

I don't know about "stopped" because she just went completely AWOL this promo season would only ever appear with Noah as a human shield and for the 3 weeks run up to Christmas faked an injury to get out entirely and then mysteriously lost the arm sling on Jan 1st.

Even if it did (which is obviously impossible to know), her response still isn't appropriate.

You're thinking of women here. They're the ones who can't grasp the concept of men simply being friends without assuming they're gay.

They do themselves a disservice with it and Will being gay. They were too afraid to make gay jokes and display actual social cues of the time.

As ever, s1 did it best with the stuff about Will being queer, a fag, a fairy, etc. You see this reflected in smoking too. Hopper and Joyce specifically were smoking a lot, Billy too, etc. because smoking was ubiquitous back then. There was some post-s3 tantrum of the heckin good guys being seen smoking so they cut it down after that. All I recall in s4/s5 really is Eddie about to smoke before Robin grabs it and throws it away whilst saying 'Gross!' and Joyce smoking once in s5 before Will nasally reminds her that she was supposed to have quit.

How long did it take for people to stop talking about Game of Thrones? It's already been 6 1/2 years since it ended, but I seem to recall all discussion dying within a week or two of the series finale. ST S5 actually reminded me a lot of the last couple seasons of GoT, with everybody coming together like in a fucking Marvel movie to fight the Night King/Vecna, zero resemblance to their universally acclaimed first seasons, and two pairs of showrunners rushing to conclusions via action-oriented slop with moments of unearned melodrama sprinkled throughout.

Literally every plot device is copied from previous seasons.

It happened pretty soon. Whenever people talk about Game of Thrones it's just about how bad the finale was. It's quite depressing for a great show to be reduced to that.

So did they just forget that Mike already knew Will was gay?

Girl in the center is a Byler.
>Worst New Years Eve ever for that poor gal

Well, he is Canadian, the fuck you expect?

Sadie slept with Finn. He wrote a song about it.
>>
>>217098692
Yes. And the Duffer brothers kind of forgot to populate the Mind Flayer's planet with other living organisms.
>>
>>217098804
was the song called "Would you cum in the sink or would you sink in the cum?"
>>
>>217098957
The cum room was inspired by the act.

Byler fans themselves are harmless. The real dread is knowing there’s people like them in the writing industry. Those that forsake all objectivity in favor of their gay fantasy.
>>
>>217098957
Sure, why not? Sounds good to me. I'm listening to Company Flow rn.
>The real question is, did Finn lose his v-card to Jack Dylan Grazer?
>>
>>217098804
a song about fucking Sadie Sink no one ever noticed other than you?
>>
>>217099046
just want you to know I laughed

Guided by Voices wrote a song about me. Bob has given me the stage bottle a few times.
>I can't remember the titles of every damn fucking song I've listened to.
Once, Ben Lee tried to fight me at his show. He was big mad I was singing along. Lil' Bitch.
When I saw, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, I was laughing so hard, their guitar player started fucking up.
The 2nd best concert I've ever been to was, Kanye West
Michael Stipe once asked me, is this the line for the bathroom? And I said, yes it is.
I smoked a joint with Willie Nelson once.
When I met Hanson, they got super uncomfortable when we started talking shit about GW Bush. They're all real sweet guys tho.
Dave Grohl is unfathomably nice.
I know how Robert Smith takes his steak. And iffin you're wondering? Like a man. Burned black on the outside, bloody in the middle, with 4 glasses of skim milk.
I could go one all night but I'm done for now.

How would you feel, anons?

Eh, this part is just supervision. If you let kids do whatever they want they'll steamroller you.

They're the reason Millie is so uncomfortable with the show. There should be an investigation into these two. I wonder if they'll troon out like the Wachowskis.

Every time I think Reddit can't be more of a twisted fascist playground. The weird thing is that they pretend to be intellectual and respectable, more than the other mega socmeds.

Reddit is just a terrible discussion platform, all things considered. If it's a bigger subreddit (1m+ users), there's no point posting a thread, because the rules are so strict that they will most likely be auto-deleted. And if a thread is more than five minutes old, there's no point posting a comment, because it will just drown in a sea of other comments since pretty much nobody sorts by newest.

she was effectively running black ops, there's no way to take that many people in without it attracting attention with little gain to show for it, it's not like those kids and Hop are going to bomb the White House. At best they probably put them under surveillance in case Eleven comes back to life somehow.
