re: Stranger Things Season 4 official discussion thread. (Spoilers)

Just watched the rest of it. Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a stronger recovery from a horrible season than this show.

The writing improved dramatically, but there were a couple of authenticity mistakes, the kind of errors they've made before. For example, people didn't start saying things were 'metal' until long after the 80's, and not even black dudes were getting girls' 'digits' back then.

Aside from minor stuff like that, the re-invented storyline is great. I still think they should call it a day after this season, but I can't wait for the conclusion of this one.

The shite they have to dress Nancy in to keep her from looking like a skeleton is getting out of control. That square head on her lollipop body makes her look like Nancy Reagan, and I hope but doubt that she gets help for the coke problem. Speaking of which, Jonathan seems to have a limited role this season, and the show re-igniting the flame between Nancy and Steve might be a signal that Charlie Heaton has or will be served his walking papers.

The characters in the film industry generally always have that depiction. Kids are open minded and will find the answers and the stubborn old parents are bad and ignorant unwilling to believe the open-minded enlightened children.

But this is actually apparently true in reality, at least for things that would be as close as possible to a show like Stranger Things with the supernatural. For example, apparently children are far more likely to catch a magician’s trick because they are more “open-minded” to the world.

I disagree with that completely. Magic shows are clearly meant for children because they are more likely to be enthralled by the performance. Same reason most fictional shows target children, including shows with talking animals and magic.

Children are also more inclined to believe a lot of stupid things that couldn't possibly be true.


One of the hallmarks of a post-modernists is that all wisdom gained from the past is rooted in ignorance and evil and therefore must be completely disregarded (all traditional behaviors rootoed in age-old wisdom are bad and oppressive). This idea is so overly expressed in most Hollywood media its not even funny.


It doesn't workout in reality.

Man i just don’t get the season 3 hate

I don’t know anybody that hated it either. Not as good as some of the other seasons =\= terrible. But given some of the folks making the comments, I’m sure there’s more to it.

Where tf did this melt come from?

Why does it bother you so much that GLAAD an LGBT+ company wants more representation? I mean as long as the characters are written well as all characters should be their sexuality shouldn’t matter. But some of you on this board have their weird fixation on gay characters

Because all this shite centers around Marxism. We are being forced to accept this when nobody wants this shite
