Stranger Things

[Rideguy70]

I feel like so many people are over-invested in this show. I watch it, enjoy it for what it is, and then more or less immediately move on with my life right after without much more thought about it

The one thing I will say is that, being an actual gay teen in the 80's with crushes on guys, I don't think anyone would've have moved on from their crush that quickly. And doubtful everyone would have been easily accepting back then, at least not right away. But poetic license, I suppose.

Your guys comments aren't making me want to watch it

Insane that My Hero Academia has a better finale season then Stanger things......you have so much money why was this so hard to finish?

well, you "Have" to watch it, you have come this far lolol.
but I suggest playing a game on your phone while watching it lol
or do a puzzle or something. (no, for real, I'm serious)

This season has been such a chore aside from the fourth episode. This new batch of three episodes has maybe 30 minutes worth of story stretched over three hours while being diluted by new additions to the ensemble that add nothing interesting. At this point, I don't even know if I want to see the finale in theaters (and I've seen many say the same).

and this took 4 years? 4 years ....... in the 90s we would have gotten 4 full seasons with 20 episodes of a show....

Really dreadful stuff. I can't believe they forced the Stranger Things writers to adopt "second screen" dialogue patterning. The visuals look awful.

Could you elaborate on the “second screen” dialogue thingy, I don’t get it.

I think that is more the result of poor media literacy than poor writing. The first is clearly stated a few times. The second is obvious but works better without being explicit.

Honestly I thought the first scene was just simply Nancy accepts the “non-proposal” but they’re still together at first, given Nancy says he loves him at that scene.

EDIT: on an unrelated topic, something I read somewhere that pointed out something awkward about Will’s coming out is that everybody just stopped what they were doing and were in the room. Having it just be the other three, his mom, Jonathan, and even Jane would have been enough. Plus some of the people in the scene as it is Will barely knows.
