Stranger Things

Why is the 80s so good? Is it possible to have another decade like the 80s?

do they ever actually say it's set during the 80s in the show? it could be any time period for all we know

Stranger Things season 3 is ass cause they're all pubescent now, so all the fun is gone.

yeah, the Back to the Future movie just reaches cinemas somewhere in Season 2.

80's are factually and symbolically the innocent beginning of mass consumption. It's also the moment were science fiction flourishes mainly throught the critique of that context and also by borrowing and integrating it's aesthetic elements (mainly neon, speed and intertextually branded clothes).
80's is good because it has been marketed to be good in popular culture through films and fashion.
Also, the second season was already shit, the third one is a fucking insult to intelligence.

Maybe 2030s or 2040s when most of the shit considered Sci-Fi in the 80s will be real and 80s fashion will come back.

This. It was so uncomfortable watching them run around with their lanky bodies and ultra skinny limbs on show. It looked like they wanted to dress up teens as young children. And all the relationship stuff was just too much.

Having grown up in the 80s-90s, I don’t understand the obsession with the 80s. The 90s where better.

Stranger Things is fake 80s made by guys that were born in 1989 and don’t know shit

The uncomfortable mood is spot on. Especially back in the day, our parents pretty much did try to dress us up as little kids as long as possible even though we were turning into teens. They were trying to cling in the idea of life staying the same and kids being kids forever. Of course things aren't staying the same and all it took was pretty much one summer and suddenly playing wasn't as cool anymore and imagination (at least partially) died as we grew up.

We are all trying to imagine the better days when we were kids free to do anything and when we see something like S3 we are reminded of the moments when the better days of our childhood ended. And it sucks.

The 2080s user,its literally the 80s again.

The cast was litteraly the strangest thing of the whole show. Not to mention in season 3 they added the math genius female niglet that added a sci-fi touch.

The show could be set in the 70s or 90s or 2000s and be just as good the aesthetic has nothing to do why its good its just nostalgic for pre social media/GPS phones

The story would be entirely believable set any time before 2007

Its popular IMO because its demographic of 15-35year olds very fue of them had social lives prior to smartphone and social media so they watch this and think its another amazing life or planet

People 35-95 watch it and are like ... Yes that was life

I'm 33 but grew up in a isolated part of america but with big wealth in community so my 90s and even early 2000s was pretty similar life than the one shown on the show. But I was cool and smart most morons my age started "living" and socialising with girls via MySpace instead of people up street etc.

I get the appeal of the show and feel I'm in a unique position to both appreciate it and also see why its appeal is quite shallow.

Despite the frame the characters and story are pretty good specifically Nancy Steve and Billy

The boys are hyped but not that good IMO. Thou they did Teens pretty well in s3

Its interesting that no show has actually successfully captured the vibe of social media effect on life.

Like so many try but nun are honest enough to show the effect it has on thoughts n stuff or people haven't admitted that it effects them that way or everyone and pretend they are "cool with it" because their Netflix boss follows them etc

Some one could actually make a really keno movie or show about people just going insain over web shit in private then trying to cover it up and act normal in person would be a pretty awesome idea desu like maybe have multiple groups shit talking each other but when same people reform in some.other group they act dif etc.

Could be keno but would be took woke for TV and Facebook or Google would prob try shut the filming down

It wouldn't have to be all like "gimix they use phones" but more just honest what its like might require some internal mental monologues etc like NGE kinda shit

They say the year in the first episode of every season

The 80s wasn't like this at all.

>Malls weren't that bright or modern
>everyone said nigger and fag. Especially kids who got into trouble
>Nobody talked about the thing
>Only kids talked about star wars and it was what toys they had...no lame ass jokes about Han Solo.
>Women weren't woke.
>Whites rarely hung out with nogs or other races
>Jews weren't doomsday preppers
>Girls as decent looking as Robin wouldn't be a lesbian. They were bullied by other women and generally only ugly dykes

t. Lived in a poverty stricken community with bad school bad DNA and bad perception and friends

>films don't depict the 'reality' of an epoch
Films aren't a historical account of a specific context but a elaboration that borrows elements from diverse contexts; films happen in the presentm they don't describe reality but produce it.
Wrong. Why is vaporwave popular? why is retro new wave popular? why is the 80's aesthetic popular?
Also, puntuate, fuking illiterate.

You just had shit friends who was not honest

You prob think gay people are just people you see outside nightclubs you realise only like 10% of people like going out at night there was anonymous servays done in the 1920s and there was just as many gay and bi people then

You are just a moron that never met cool people and had a shut life

Probably had a friend group entieerly made of insecure boys propping each other up but pretended you was "more smart"

You wasted youth

bump

Hopefully they improve the story for S4

Is this show actually good? I tried to watch the first episode and it seemed really boring and gay. Has a campy Stephen King vibe.

at least try to get to the middle of season 1 to decide if you like it or not

>The cast was litteraly the strangest thing of the whole show.
it wouldn't be if they set the show in the present day and not in small town Indiana.

Go back you soiboy pleb.

You most certainly should watch the first season.

It is good. The first season is by far the best, but the other two are by no means terrible.

The 80s are overrated. The only reason why you think the 80s were so great is because your boomer parents told you the 80s were so great. Truth is 90s did everything the 80s did better. Their rock music wasn’t faggots in drag trying to justify it by calling it hair “metal”. Their video games weren’t a boring ass side scroller but a god damn full on adventures with story and dialogue in 3D. Shows like King of The Hill, Simpsons and Bevis and Butthead were born and still funny. And toys were at their peak in this era

>but the other two are by no means terrible.
11 should have stayed dead and you fucking know it. The kids are looking weirder by the season and soon they will be unfilmable
