Season 1 was overrated reddit shit

Why was that video store fuck calling Star Wars A New Hope?No one called it that until the 90s

That was because season one came out of nowhere, everyone watched it fresh.

Now, there's expectations, and the inevitable flanderization that comes with any successful series. It's hard to make a good season 2+, doubly so at a place like netflix.

the change was present when the movie re-released in the early 80s, a nerd working at a video store would probably know the new name, and use it

TURN AROUND LOOKK AT WHAT YOU SEE
IN HER FACE THAT Yea Forums IS REDDIT WITH SO MANY FAAAAGS

I can't even remember what happened in season 1. I hate how people praise all these fucking shows, but you can barely remember anything besides vague characters.

next season the better show that steve fucked the lesbian out of that bitch

With this company? Not a chance. Look for Steve to transition to try to have a chance with her, but still fail because she refuses to fuck the descendants of slavers.

the whole show is just a DND campaign right?

don't forget to buy coke bros

I still refuse to call it a New Hope. No one called it that when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s

Tbh never really liked S1, it was okay, but not that good. I'm not speaking about s2, can't even remember it. But S3was really good, despite gurl power and Erica.. Liked it's visuals a lot, thought it had too much neon, and sound design. It had some plot holes and what not, but overall it's couldn't keep my eyes away from it. 8/10

What do you get out of larping as old people, children?

Same here

S3 was better
The monster was actually a threat 11 wasn't op
The cringe was mostly gone and the writing actually improved and shite over 2
Cgi + practical vfx was great and straddled the line between monster mash corny and semi realistic dope goo scenes as well as some awesome foreshadowing setup since s1 with the googuy baddy mind spider nigger

Sad the shows hit its peak since s4 is gonna be shit without the returning cast but could be Russian weird scifi experiment kino so who knows

>was a blast
was it? I'll be honest, I don't remember a single thing except teenagers being assholes and kids screaming

>without the returning cast
What? That's cool I guess, they want to do other shit.

That's me and season 2. It's a complete blur and I didn't remember anything until they showed some flashbacks and even then I sure as shit don't remember punk rock Eleven closing the eye of Sauron.

It was meant to be a anthology series so if it goes back to that format rather than monster season of the week + recurring cast I'm fine with it

What made it good was the mystery element. You had no idea what was going on, which made the show interesting. This ended around episode 7 and then the mystery fell flat. It was just some shadow world where mindless monsters come out of. Since season 1 they've almost completely dropped the mystery component and have decided to tell the same exact story 3 times. Their problem was that they never expanded the upside down or made it interesting. It's just the home of mindless monsters with no deeper mystery than that. Its not worth watching it anymore. Season 1 was really good.

>max "enlightens" El and ruins her relationship
Powerful

Same. But this didn't feel like an ending ENDING so I just assumed they would do a Season 4: The Freshman Year or something. That's cool that they're moving away from this though because like said it has kind of run its course.

well I’d say that the “mindflayer’s” motives are still a mystery. it’s obviously sentient and is trying to work towards something.

>work towards something
yeah which is the generic "they're trying to wipe out humanity" bullshit that they revealed near the end of season 2. They still have revealed fuck all about the nature of the upside down after what are basically 2 entire filler seasons.

Honestly I find Stranger things a bit dumb and it's predictable as fuck but you have to admire the pacing of season 3. I just can't seem to stop watching it

Sure it was overrated, but it was still relatively comfy, easy to digest, fun and did some SUBVERTING that actually worked instead of doing it for the sake of doing it

None of these descriptors apply to season 2 and 3

ST only turned reddit after season 1. the writers actually had something good going and didnt know what to do with it after S1
this guy gets it

Its your faults for being retards and getting invested in a normie product that's only selling point was REMEMEBR THE 80's, released on a platform that is regarded by anyone who doesn't consume soi and isn't a quarter stealing jew, as trash.

So I don't feel bad for a single one of you faggots.

Should I even finish 3? does it get even a tinge bit better during the last few episodes? I've made it through 4 eps and really have no desire or drive to continue, which is sad, because I had even managed to sit through all of 2.

it’s worth it for based Steve

Mike will probably die next season because his actor has been doing great branching out on the movie roles so far

I made it 3 episodes into season 3 and dropped it forever. I still hate myself for watching season 2. There is only so much shitty acting and romance I can take.

steve gets cucked

Indeed, but there are still styles and principles of S1 that they didn't give a fuck in carrying over, but rather turned everything into an ADHD MTV fest.

T.Fag

I think it was originally planned to be a multi-season thing, which actually just makes it all that much worse, they knew they were going to continue and still had nothing planned out.

season 1 is the best but none of this show deserves a 10/10

Because the belt is just an accessory and his pants are already tight enough

I felt the same and no it does not get better

what's a show that deserves a 10/10 then?

From best to worst girl in a single episode. She was pretty annoying throughout this season.Except for Erica, can't stand her.

Is Harbours acting worse this season or is it just the fact they ruined his character and gave him a shit script to work with? I can't tell which is which, it just felt like he as hamming it up the whole season in nearly every scene

I thought season 3 was actually really good. Not as good as season 1 but way better than season 2. What the fuck happened with season 2?

Everyone feels like they are hamming it up. This season feels like a Stranger Things parody, and it's kind of hilarious in it's own right, but not in a good way.

I've only watched season 1 so far
are the rest of the seasons worth it?

the poo in loo

was there a poo in the loo in season 2? I honestly don't remember much from it since it sucked so bad. did a poo write season 2 or something?

don't you get it he has feelings again so he turns from a hyper masculine Chad into a goofball dad figure

s2 was rushed as hell, it was there just for the sake of getting something out.

Season 2 is week but at least the mind flayer was interesting. S3 mind flayer sucks ass.

The first season was great. Was wholesome, innocent and had mystery to it. It shouldve been a one season thing, or waited 3-5 years to do a sequel when the kids were older, and had a similar storyline to the first season.

Instead becuase of its success, its be turned into another tool to push poz onto the general public. Its also full of fanservice, which they said they wernt going to do after the first season. The directors said they only wanted to do one season, but their jewish producer pestered them into doing more.

Hot take from me here but Winona overacts like fuck in this show, she's been doing it since season 1 and it's kind of annoying and also funny because she's the most seasoned actor on the show. She just seems a little too overdramatic.

FUCKING MAGNETS EXPLAIN THEM TO ME SCOTT

Netflix ruined it by pandering to the memes. Why professional writers continuously listen to fandoms for story ideas is beyond me.

Is she the worst actor on the show?

what memes? I was impressed by how they were able to not do that 2bh. I have no idea what you're talking about

No that’s Will’s actor Noah Schap or something

The whole Barb thing, for a start. That was literally a meme, and no one actually cared about justice for Barb, yet Nancy's entire fucking storyline revolved around it.

They killed off a lot of people this season, even if they were just npc’s, especially for a small town. I think that’s the only thing about this season that really bothered me. Is no one supposed to notice that like 30 people disappeared and a mall was destroyed in one day?

They explained that the mall "burned down." I don't know about the people, though.

Yeah they didn’t know what to do with him since he was probably never supposed to be a main character considering he was non existent in S1. I said it would be their issue after the first season aired

I remember them saying the fact it was set in the 80's wasnt really a big part of the show. Then with season 2 they threw that out of the window, gave into the fan servce and pushed the 80's nostalgia pill hard, ruining the vibe of the show.

Season one had its own soundtrack, with season 2 they used actual 80's music which was very out of place and weird.

Should i even bother watching season 3? i enjoyed season 1, it was comfy and wholesome.

Thought season 2 was complete garbage, and all the mystery and innocence was lost.

Exactly whereas Steve, the fallen chad would not have even known that because as the dickwad you’re arguing with says “Nobody called it that in the 80’s”. He’s wrong of course but it’s about nerd cred of that era.

3 was much better than 2. not as good as 1.

why does everything turn to shit these days. It almost like its purposefully done

>giving each season a different rating when they basically made a single season 3 times

Too bad that cuck dropped his lawsuit

Pacing doesn't feel that amazing to me. After an episode ended, even if on a cliffhanger (so basically every episode) I wasn't salivating to see what was next. I don't know, for some reason some of the magic of the show has seem to have worn off.

The kids aren't endearing and cute anymore, they are just mostly annoying, the adults are caricatures running around doing stupid shit AS IF they are kids themselves. I admit it's still shot pretty well and the CGI doesn't bother me as much as seemed to be others, but overall it's just not landing with me this season

Yeah people who lose their youngest children should just be chipper and upbeat about it.

Duffers have to "pay homage" to a of their "influences"

It's entirely possible to act worried, scared and in grief without overselling it.

But worst girl is Erica

I can't tell if you're supposed to think she's an obnoxious piece of shit or go "mmmhmmm ya u go girl sho dem crackaz who da maf jeansius is!". So give the writers an Emmy I guess. Very multifaceted character.

Why did they do my boy Alexei like that

I know that but my point is how does a small town not go ballistic and how does it not make national news

The other psychic chick, the one in a gang.

It doesn't get any better and it's definitely not worth watching. This show should have ended at the end of season 1.

She was alright in this season. Her weirdo basket case mom role in S1 is obviously top tier.

Dark

lmao holy shit. I totally forgot about that whole storyline. god damn that season was so forgettable.

fucking kids are ugly and annoying as hell

Were they suppose to become a couple this season? they were way too happy around each other. Some Netflix suit got worried and curtailed the idea, didn't they?

Attached: yl4645667.png (2930x1475, 1.35M)

S1 was full of bad fan service too.

also it makes no sense as we've seen previously those things are perfectly capable of escaping a weak ass steel cage. and since we know the Russians had to open another portal it's likely they got Hopper locked up in their jail as they found him in the upside down. I said yesterday that I bet season 4 opens with El getting her powers back and memeing finding Hopper with a blindfold on just because and she actually finds that he's still alive but in Russia

All your scores need to be dropped by one or two points.

pretty good soundtrack through all 3 seasons

every girl on the show could get piped. This one especially.

So... Season 3 happens in 1984. They have an evil russian guy that is basically Terminator. He even kinda looks like Schwarzenegger back then. Terminator was released 1984.

Is this some kind of meta joke? Can it be taken seriously as a reference? Or is it just horrible tropes?

Is this a meta joke? Because the whole show is basically a big collage of meta jokes of the movies in the 80s

HONK HONK

yes it was look at the fun house scene

Season 3 takes place in the summer of '85. There was just that one scene in the first episode.
No doubt he's an archetypal, unstoppable, nearly superhuman villain. Why even ask?

I thought the ending where they were at the movie rental store and steve mentioned the star wars with the little bears seemed too early, given the timeline. I could have sworn that return of the jedi came out in the late 80s, my guess was 87, and I know it's not really that big a difference in reality but it came out in 83. I have no idea why, but I always thought it came out in the late 80s. What year is this season supposed to take place in even?

there was plenty of 80's music in season 1. I still remember the slam cut to Hazy Shade of Winter by the Bangles over the credits after Nancy's BFF gets demogorgon'd.

Not even close to season 2. S2 was full of this crap

I agree in 1 and 2 she was pretty grating, but she was fine in 3. Probably one of the only positive things I can say about the season.

No, what happened?

so a call back to season 1, why was barb dying made out to be such a big deal? i remember it being talked about on late night shows and afterwards the fandom wouldnt shut the fuck up about how heartless the show was for ripping such a loveable character from their arms? barb, if youre reading this, you fucking suck. youre fat and ugly and nancy sticc mogged you

I think this explains why seasons 2 of stranger things and true detective were so shit. The creators obviously had some talent and created something great. But when they were put on a timeline, they just couldn't make it happen at the drop of a dime.

Was season 3 worth it? I liked season 1 well enough as a well packaged nostaliga fest. Season 2 just felt like a redundant rehash of the first.

why couldn't the giant monster lift a few children through a roof just because they were pulling down?

it's better than season 2 but nowhere near half as good as season one

i think the big difference for true detective was joji not directing and the setting being really lame

Not at all.
It's just getting worse as it goes on.

The only redeeming thing about season 3 is the Mind Flayer looks pretty cool.
It's just another typical Netflix shit with forced agendas and storylines that go nowhere.

why didn't it just get them with those tentacle things it clearly still had or could regenerate very fast that it used on Billy at the end

>entire show is built on ripping off/referencing better material
>guys, is this obvious reference a reference???

the mind flayer is retarded. it worked much better when it was just an unknown ominous threat of destruction not talking through people or revealing it's intentions

It does look cool though.

the only thing still kino about it is that opening sequence

why did the thing die when the gate closed?

it looked cool yeah but sadly the main scenes with the mind flayer in it were kid scenes and i skipped any scene with any more than 2 kids in it

i'll give you that but they really fucked it up by giving it trope ass motives

What the fuck is even the point at this point?

I think the only reason to still follow the series is to see how Finn Wolfhard the awkward kid being looked down by everyone went from the underdog of the bunch to being the most successful actor out of all of them

not our fault your memory stinks, I remember most plot points and the scenes that really stuck out. Overall it felt more Stephen King and less Steven Spielberg than subsequent seasons.

good

Media is now basically all about shitting on straight white men wherever possible as punishment for electing Trump.

Quite frankly for S4 they should leave Winona and her two kids wherever the fuck they go
Then have all five of the Wheelers die in the first episode
and eleven can make her big return in like the second to last episode

Did Eleven reconnect with her mom last season? Does she just not want her around anymore?

He's a huge SJW and is trying too hard to be a macho action hero/bumbling overbearing dad.

The monster operated just fine in season 1 without being controlled. The whole point of it was that it was just a mindless animal hunting for food. Only season 2 had the mindflayer hijacking them to carry out its plans. I suppose the idea is that they were so infested that shutting out the mindflayer at that point also killed them, but it was probably was just a band-aid they had to apply to patch up the general shitty writing of season 2 and needing the mindflayer to piggyback on a monster you already knew in the first place so they could get their Aliens-style sequel idea off.

I wouldn't say it's only good because of nostalgia, its storyline keeps you in suspense and the episodes cut at really good moments

On rewatch when you know what's going to happen though is when it loses it's magic. It's a one-and-done show, not a rewatcher for sure. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it does keep it from being top kino

S1 was a fun homage to the tropes of the 80s, and S2 had some fun character moments sprinkled in there. I’m currently halfway through S3, and am still not engaged by the plot at all, and am frankly finding the characters more annoying than in seasons prior. Max and Lucas’ sister are cranked up to fucking 11, and even the core group of kids are getting on my nerves. It also feels like there’s a lot of filler (mainly the shit where they’re just milling about in the mall).

I miss Bob.

Throwing the Russian into the machine caused it to whip out lightning in a conveniently perfect wall cutting him off from heading back.

I think the real question is why he tackled the Russian from behind instead of picking up the machine gun he'd just dropped 5 seconds earlier and is still right behind the now distracted Russian. Or why didn't Joyce pick it up instead of watching them have a fistfight on the catwalk and spending even more time coming up with a way to turn both keys.

I just want ST to end and be forgotten forever which should’ve happened long ago. I want the Duffer Brothers to fade back into complete irrelevance and no-name status, and I want all of the kid/teen actors to overdose already and die. What a fucking shitshow. Completely worthless series which overran its course after s1.

It kinda seemed like the monster was originally supposed to massacre the carnival but the writers decided to pussy out.

2 episodes in and I'm thinking it lost steam

That's what I was expecting
Fucking turn the whole town into sludge and grow gigantic
That would have been some shit

There was really no reason for it to, considering it could've just converted the entire town quietly by doing what it had been doing. Why did it even need to build a big dumb body anyway?

this season should have been all about exploring what the upside down actually is and how the mind flayer came to live there. Instead its just the same crap as before.

she actually has written down in her contract for this season that she won't kiss any niggers again

Yikes.

I remember when Stranger Things was just this okay show I binged with a friend, only for it to become a big deal a few days later. Loved by a bunch of people who tell you it's better than all the 80's movies it apes despite having never seen said movies. Genuinely a glib facsimile.

Based

like, that's, totally problematic, right?

So is the excuse that the flayed just happened to be in the closed mall when it burned down? Because that's retarded.

>This season feels like a Stranger Things parody,
That's pretty much the best way to describe my feelings this season, it felt like the show was parodying itself. Or like SNL made a season of the show.

>Max and Lucas’ sister are cranked up to fucking 11, and even the core group of kids are getting on my nerves.

teenagers are more annoying forms of their tween selves.

who knew?

So why was The Terminator in the Hawkins lab? Was that ever explained?

yo what if..what if...the monster was...still alive and stuff, even though we like, closed the gate and shit at the end of last season in a big pivotal moment..what if that didn't matter and did absolutely nothing bro?
>holy shit how did we not think of this sooner, greenlight this!

Just children bro! Except the bottom left. that's a coke addicted adult woman.

As flawed as season 2 is, I think it has the best climax of all three seasons. It feels very raw and visceral, the music is great and I especially like when it drowns out everything else along with stuff like the lights in the Byers house getting affected by the raw energy Eleven is putting out, and Hopper looking at Eleven with a "holy shit she's actually something else" sort of look.

My only problem with it is how fucking absurdly high the power creep spiked because of this scene. I couldn't take any scene in season 3 that had Eleven in a perilous situation seriously, because all I could think about was how she absolutely btfo an elder demon god and fucking closed an interdimensional rip in space and time with her fucking mind. That should've been like the season 4 or 5 climax, not fucking second season

Finn Wolfhard is so fucking hot and cute holyshit

>Will is the 3rd most prominent person on the poster
>Steve completely absent
I bet the guy who made this didn't even watch the show beforehand

For that matter what the fuck was the point of all the chemicals the flayed consumed? They put so much emphasis on that and then it just leads to jack fucking shit.

>Member when Stranger Things was actually good?
No, Stranger Things was always a shit show just like most shows on Netflix.

Shut the fuck up and stop spamming these threads you fantasy-loving dork.

get help idiot

Winona overacts in everything she does. Even when she was younger like in Heathers. I still like her but she never learn to stop hamming it up her whole entire career

She got nerfed in season 3. Didn’t make any sense. But this entire season was a disaster

Yeah, not explaining this was a missed opportunity. The very least they could do is say that's what the Mindflayer eats.

Female Keanu

I think the idea is supposed to be that it's required to turn their bodies into goo, but it's extremely vague. I don't think the green gel canisters are ever explained either, and are also just " random shit we need to make the thing work."

Weren't they in a romance movie that came out earlier this year or last year?

Because she went all strong independent woman. He didn't actually do anything wrong, she just decided to leave him because she had convinced El to leave Mike and she anted to move in on her.

I'd thought that for a bit as well before realizing there would be no way for a cover up to work which would be necessary for the show to continue. Which is a shame since they were setting up a kino reveal shot from the top of the ferris wheel.

She doesn't even sell the greiving mother act in season 1

>Images you can hear

Beginning of the season tries to sell this as a subplot and then it just sort of sizzles out by the second episode. How bizarre

this. season 3 should have had humans as the villain, save the monster's return for season 4. Or have the monster just acting like a serial killer targeting people El cares about to break her spirit so she won't be a threat in the future

Do you think Dustin will tell Suzie that if she hadn't insisted he sing the entire song from Neverending Story Billy wouldn't have died and Hopper wouldn't have died/been transported to the upside down/in a Russian prison?

I think he should, she needs to learn that actions have consequences

This post reminded me that there was an extremely obvious product placement shot for New Balance shoes in Midsommar which bothered me for a second

Imo Season 1 ≥ Season 3 >>> Season 2

for convenience to the plot and no other reason ever given. just like they ignored that active survelliance camera they slow zoomed in on that showed Hopper and Joyce were clearly seen breaking into the lab probably by the U.S. gov who proceed to do nothing about it

she plays a good neurotic mess with how hammy she is.

I feel like the camera was being manned by the Russians. They just didn't outright follow up on it besides Arnold showing up there immediately. I kinda wonder if they're going to have the US and Soviet Union be secretly collaborating on the portals as an ebin tweest to explain away how implausible the mall situation is.

From the beginning they've hinted at phoenix similarities, so it always surprises me that they haven't just gone dark phoenix yet. You've got a entity that's all about possession and the greatest threat to anyone would be 11 possessed. It's so obvious that they must've ripped their hair out trying to do ANYTHING less obvious, even if it ends up shittier for it.

Season 3 was awful. Outside of the diversity episode season 2 was ok

The Russian shit was terribly ruined this whole season

That was my thought exactly, not to mention all their families and friends might have noticed them acting weird in the days leading up to their disappearances (sweating, eating fertilizer, etc)

there's no way in hell the U.S. wouldn't still be monitoring the entire town to the point it's literally implausible that the Russians could build a fucking secret base there unnoticed or that Russians could set up equipment to monitor inside a U.S. government former top secret lab facility where a major disaster occurred unnoticed.
>just turn off your brain broham

Dustin and Suzie singing was K I N O

she's adorable in everything

2 episodes left for me but after reading the threads I have no desire to watch the. Shame. Also a ST season without Hopper will definitely be a bad season lol.

BUT MY EYES ARE WIDE AND IM YELLING AND LITERALLY ACTING LIKE I HAVE TOURETTES CANT YOU SEE IM DISTRESSED AND GREIVING

The only thing season 3 did right was the female extras

why is episode 2 dude having a photosession with two underage girls at the mall hmm

s1 7/10
s2 6/10
s3 4/10

dropped

>s1 3/10
>s2 2/10
>s3 1/10

That little nigress, I like her, she's a math wiz and anti communist and pro capitalist

Better

I thought season 3 was great. Why wasn’t it?

You can tell that him and Steve are pretty much the only people who like playing their parts anymore.

no thats riverdale season 3 and it was fucking bonkers

>okay, you're greenlit for a season 2!
>oh shit, we didn't think this far ahead

Trash is the inevitable result of this, every time

Season 2 was a pointless rehash of season 1, which was a finished story. I dread to watch season 3

I love this guy, he's the only one who does quirky and wild right on this show. Everyone else just seems like they are overdoing it or unintentionally hamming it up.

she wouldn't care anyway, girls named Suzie are always psychopaths

>was terribly ruined this whole season
English, do you even speak it? Anyways russian bro was awesome until the very end.

it's fanfic tier now

>dude steve and dustin epic bros lmao
>dude mike and 11 lmao
>dude hopper so epic lmao

Fucking Christ she is so damn milfy and hot.

I just can’t get over how the main girl and the main dude legit look like lesbian lovers
It’s mind boggling and 100% on purpose

>I told them they should have sex
>They have not had sex?
>*both laughing*
Yea Forums BTFO

Have sex

>when they see your micropenis

Get it? Mall RATS? They're rats in a mall. The writers are geniuses.

Can't, they could be a Russian Spy.

Oops also to add
Sheriff Smithers or whatever the fuck his name is bulked up for hell boy
So their cope was to open him drinking beer and cuddling a Tostitos bag cause of his bulk
hahahahahhahha the state of creativity in the world

Are they shocked by the asses or shocked that that guy turned out to be a chad instructor?

S1: it was enjoyable enough
S2: really spaced out during the obvious backdoor pilot elements. But meh, didn't hate it
S3: it was okay.

It's fairly obvious they are playing each season by ear. Also the kids are aging way faster than their plot is and that comes off as rather awkward.

post butt shots of redhead

Steve - girls
Dorky kid - Chad

Momma Winona really can't get a break.
So who will she like in S4 who and ends up dying?

Why was Winona Ryder trying to break up Mike and El? Did her character take stupid pills? She has no reason to want them to break up. She should have told Hopper he's being a little bitch.

Man, 80's asses were nice.

Shit the bad the same way 2 did but spread it out more evenly.
Characters being turned into cartoony praodies of their previous selves
Cringe diologue/funny moments that don't land
Kid drama that is boring and dumb, even for kids.
Stupid ending

There's a million more things just browse the thread

what episode?

Mike

MAKE /SS/ MAINSTREAM AGAIN

If she had a thing for Hopper she had a really weird way of showing it..

lmao. Stranger Things is much better than Dark though

When your last lover was esploded for being involved with this shit...you might be hesitant to try again user.

2 I think

Absolutely false
