They fell down in pain because one of them was being burned and the show was making a point that they are all connected through the hive mind and when you hurt one you hurt them all.

Will wanted Mike so bad he became El.

These episodes were all about:
- cussing
- gay
- girl power
- dumb government/military people

Just finished. Man. Pretty disappointed so far. Just sooooo much plot and info dump every. single. episode. Sooooo much happening that we hardly spent time with any of the characters outside of Hop/El, Robin/Will, which is fine but we’re not breaking any new ground with any of their interactions. Everyone has gone back to being extreme versions of themselves like back in Season 3.
Covid REALLY fricked this show up because the quality of the writing and dialogue is late stage MCU bad. Nothing comparable to Season 1 and 4 and somehow worse than 2&3. Just moving everything from point A to point B with a few quips and screaming here and there. Maybe it gets better but it really goes to show how much Sadie Sink (Max) and Joseph Quinn (Eddie) carried so much of last season through their emotional character journeys. And you felt those journeys in Season 1 with Hop, Jonathan, the boys, Joyce and even Nancy with Barb. None of that heart or character moments are here. Just pure plot, let’s wrap this up. Almost every piece of dialogue didn’t even feel like the characters talking to each other, but to us

Maybe I underestimated just how bad most of the actors are. Maybe Max and Eddie really covered up just how bad some of these actors are. Mike, Will, El, Robin, Erica are actually unbearable whereas in Season 4 they were at least tolerable. Dustin, Steve and Lucas are just ok but I felt like were highlights in other seasons. Jonathan was really good the first two seasons but he’s gone downhill since and is phoning it in. Can’t really blame him. They give him nothing interesting to do besides compete for Nancy. Joyce and Hopper are carrying but it’s just not enough. There’s not enough emotional character journeys left besides Will’s and it feels like we’ve been on that journey since Season 3…it feels like we’re watching a show that just doesn’t have many more places for its characters to go and do anymore besides beat Vecna. Maybe it’s not entirely on them.
I mean they writers bringing up Hopper’s Season 1 emotional journey with the death of his daughter into THIS season. They're just out of ideas. They’re not letting these characters, outside of Dustin, to grow and be different, have different struggles, different arcs to go through. frick I hate being this negative but I’m just disappointed fellas

I wonder how many Gen Z viewers thought this was a made-up product.

Jonathan serves no purpose. Ahead of this release, I expected him to sacrifice himself somehow to save Will, and that would be what caused Will's powers to level up. Who knew it was Will's repressed sexuality that was driving the bus?

Just started watching, got theough S5E1 last night.
Biggest take away was Eddie's headstone. Dates were 1966-1986. The dude was fricking 20 years old in high school still, lol.

Or he was 19, which isnt uncommon in HS. Graduated with a handful of 19 year olds.

When they introduced him in the cafeteria first episode of season 4 he said something to the effect of him crawling his way to a passing grade and he'll get to walk across stage, grab his diploma and give the principal the finger. The other kids said you said that last year and the year before, but this was his year. He was a 3rd year senior.

Born in December 1966 and died in April/May 1986. That's 19.
Also, theres a decent chance he got held back a year at some point, which means he would have graduated "on time" at 18, which was not at all uncommon in the 80s.

i really think they're all very good for their age. No real issues for me with the acting

Is there a decent youtube video recapping the entire series I can watch? trying to avoid spoilers in this thread.

Finsihed EP4 last night, haven't read the thread yet but kind of like and lol'd at the end at the same time.
Did I read this wrong or did will accepting his gayness give him super powers?

I dont like the older and fatter eleven...reminds me of Rey from star wars as shes becoming more bitchy and whiney. I miss the innocent, vulnerable, and lovable version from season 1.
Fatter? She's nine years older, of course she's going to be bigger, but she certainly isn't fat.

Not a fan of vecna ...why does he have to look like a tree corpse ...just let him be portrayed as normal looking Henry.
He was burned/peeled away/broken/etc when 11 sent him to the upside down. It makes sense he is now grotesque and looks like a monster. Would be kind of dumb if he just looked like normal Henry. But they certainly have played up the monster look he has from S4 to S5.
