The enthusiasm for Stranger Things by the last season paled in comparison to season one.

There was an animated show. that got two seasons, and nobody says a damn thing about it. Because nobody cared.

They had a golden opportunity to do something with Hopper and Joyce going to Montauk, New Jersey, but they just left that on the table. (I get it, David Harbour is a psycho & without Eleven or the kids…what’s the point)

Idk why anyone would care about this property at this point. They ran it into the ground

A good show is a good show, animated or not. Many adults watch animated shows, even if YOU don't. Point is, who IS watching? It didn't create any kind of buzz, by any demographic group.

And while S1 was spectacular, some of the magic returned in S4, the last season fell flat on its face. S8 Game of Thrones level bad. And folks remember the last thing they see more than what they saw at first, because S5 was what everything is always going to lead up to. Unsatisfying and cringe worthy.

Like what you want, but that Stranger Things lightning bolt isn't striking twice. No matter how much you want. Netflix is grasping for straws and it shows.

Also a lot of talk ramping up once again around "Conformity Gate"... The talk that the end wasn't really the end bc of all the errors/contradictions throughout.

Cryptic posts from actors and show runners have ramped up. Maybe in antipciation of this announcment.

Ahh yes, Conformity Gate.

Nothing can undo that cringe finale' and the 'I don't like girls' scene.

And IMO the lightning bolt was just S1, sorta like Ted Lasso. Something that good will give you a lot of inertia for follow-on seasons, but inertia doesn't last forever. I think if you started with S2 on both shows you'd have gotten a 3rd season and nothing beyond that.

Most of the season was shite... But if there wasn't an underlying purpose of all the errors, they really fricked up the final season after so many years to plan.

There are dozens upon dozens of contractions/errors.

For me, S1 was amazing. S2 was a 'meh' that was basically a copy of S1. Been there, done that. The wheels came off some in S3, but rebounded big time with S4.

That's where the series should have ended. The door should have been shut. on a powerful and emotional finale'. RIP Eddie.

S3 was great... I mean, not from a quality standpoint, but from a just enjoyable season.

Murray stole the show.

We also got introduced to more great characters like Robin


Liked Robin well enough in season three but by season five she was just insufferable. Same for Nanbo. All 92 pounds of her throwing lead like she was Special Forces. Give me a break.

Will there still be gays and interracial relationships in the 1950’s? That’s all that matters

Well duh... Thats how Will got it. He caught the gay when Vecna got him, so obviously Vecna got it from the science thing in the cave back in the 50s.

If there are, I hope they wait until the middle of an existential crisis, life-or-death for not just them but the world, to pause and gather everyone into a circle so some guy can announce "hey you guys, I like cock".
