that's the only face she does thoughout the entire season.

'Perpetual girlboss scowl' is certainly an acting choice

They will just use 008 to give Vecna nightmares of the cave. The end.

My wife is a huge fan of the series, She watched it plenty of times already.

In my opinion, they've have dragged the series too much, the highschool/college "kids" all look to be in their early thirties.

Even Priah Ferguson playing Erica is in a fuckable age now (19).

I think that a lot of people (including my wife) are more interested to see who survives and who gets killed at the series finale thank the finale itself.

"I don't like girls"
That's what I saw about Stranger things.

I'm glad Im not invested in any show.

With such an analytical mind its no wonder no show holds up to it.

Where were all the complaints about plot armor when Jim Hopper, the fat, middle aged alcoholic, successfully took on a Demogorgon in 1v1 melee combat last season?

Show has superpowered pyshic humans that can snap the heads of anyone, a villain that can also do that easily without having to go through his evil plan, he could've literally killed all the kids in one go, but we draw the line at Nancy being Rambo? Cmon. All the best shows in the world have protagonists with plot armor.

You just made the show sound even worse then. All that filler that the bad guy could've just bypassed at any time.

You mean the build-up of a trained Police Officer who worked with Russian prisoners to attack and weaken it, before finally killing the creature? I think they worked up to that and it felt fine to me.

I watched the first five minutes of the latest batch released and I dropped it. I just can't subject myself to even more of this show. Let me guess they made that one guy gay due to pressure from a certain group of people who are much more niche than they would have you believe?

Aside from one scene in episode 7, they handle it pretty well. But for whatever reason they decide that the plot can't move along unless he sits everyone down and explain he loves men.

The show wasn't written this way in season 1.

Now that it's a giant tentpole event series they've dumbed it down beyond belief. Across the board the characters yell out their motivations and intentions ad nauseum as if it's for idiots half paying attention while on their phone.

You've got it exactly right. This is done on purpose so people who aren't paying attention can still follow the show. Sad but true.



Justine Bateman said in an interview:

"I've heard from showrunners who are given notes from the streamers that 'this isn't second screen enough,'" she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2023. "Meaning the viewer's primary screen is their phone and the laptop, and they don't want anything on your show to distract them from their primary screen because if they get distracted, they might look up, be confused, and go turn it off."

I know this pic is definitely edited to make her look worse, but she does look a lot older (like in her 30s) in the new season based on clips I just saw on youtube. I see the actress is 27, and most hollywood actresses are able to pull off the college girl look, but not her unfortunately.

wtf

This is either heavy drug usage or malnutrition

Justine Bateman said in an interview:

Well it's not working due to me still looking at my phone a lot while watching their shows. And it's even gotten to the point where if I feel bored with the show especially if it's Netflix, that I just drop the show right away

Ozempic curse, I don't care how much money a person you shouldn't get that stuff just because you have some chub in your cheeks like most of these industry women are.

What? Ozempic doesn't do that and she was already skinny anyway

Steve might be the only character in the show I don't hate at this point.

It's crazy how much Maya Hawke resembles her parents(Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman).

Some kids look a lot like their parents. Some kids don't look very much like their parents or more resemble one than the other. She's like an insane perfect split of Ethan Hawke and Uma.

Everyone else is using unflattering screenshots to say she looks old, but that's not what I notice. I don't think I've ever seen anything with Ethan Hawke in, but all I think is how much more she looks like her mum as time goes on.

Its obvious will was gay for a while, especially last season when they were in the car. The coming out scene was kinda cringy af tho. But hey, not the biggest problem if you ask me.

It was awful. It didnt work at all. wrong timing considering everything else going on, and invite everyone together for the big announcement ? Perhaps there is a cunning plan for the last episode to redeem this

Yeah the moment itself felt forced and at a really weird time
