re: Stranger Things 3 Spoiler Thread

S3, S1, S2 in typical 80's grades of trilogies.

S1 has the benefit of being the first. Great original music / score and all the thrilling moments can be abstract.

S3 pure 80's glory for the first 2 episodes. Used some good 80's songs and the main setting at a mall. They had to bring the monster big bad to visual form and imo it looked good. Can't stay in the past, heart felt wrap up.

I think they start another trilogy. Either Hopper or Brennan a couple years later, in another city, and new kids. That's what I'd like to see.

The actor that played Billy was really good. And he got his chance to fight back at the end and died a bad arse death.

Also noticed the camera work direction on the characters with the stacked head shots, typical 80's shot.

I think the moving was symbolic of moving on because these kids aren't kids anymore.

So who’s the American prisoner at the end of the series? Is hopper still alive?

I could have done without the suzie scene as well. Too much screen time for a small character.

This was unbearable. If they wanted to stick that in episode 2 or 3, fine. But putting something like that in the last third of the final episode as it nears the climax was just ridiculous. Completely unfunny and out of tone with everything else that was taking place.

The forced attempts at comedy with season 3 kind of remind me of The Last Jedi - unfunny jokes that are inserted at the worst possible times in the story.

The Russian dude repeating that weird phrase is David Lynchy.

True I guess I’m just assuming that if he did die, hed die like all the other people in that room and have their bodies just evaporate. Hence why we didn’t see a body. I feel like Brennan would be less of a shocker or surprise or have any value of being alive to the audience

Can you imagine when your life depends on it and then you hear two kids singing a song on the walkie talkie? lol

I never thought about that you are right!

Do they ever discuss why they all decided to move , and to where?

Honestly, I think the only reason they moved was to have a UHaul product placement. Otherwise, it didn't seem to make much sense, especially if they're doing a 4th season.

Anybody else notice that when something frightening or threatening happened, Lucas would take off running and leave Max to bring up the rear?

Aside from the SJW filler, I liked it, but it did have some problems it didn't need to have. Some of the dialog was modern and didn't fit in an 80's setting.

Also, they occasionally had James Bond abilities and actually, physically defeated Russian soldiers. I'm sure they could have figured out a way to run away or something. That was just lazy.

And as was the case last season, all of the dudes were idiots and the girls were all geniuses. Nancy even had a Sherlock Holmes crime scene moment, complete with the signature CGI graphic breakdown.

I blame Wynona Rider. Never let lesbians hijack your TV show.
