Stranger Things

Final episode in a few hours. Anyone else looking forward to it?

I do think season hasn't been great particularly in the writing department but whatever, been watching this show for 10 years.

Perfectly good 9.5 year old thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/stranger-things.434764/

I'm waiting for Erica to distract Vecna by calling him a pussy to his face, so Will and Eleven can land the crushing blow.

I'm gonna watch it, maybe over the weekend. But I wouldn't go as far as "looking forward to it." More like obligatory viewing for closure.

What's everyone's thoughts? I love it, final battle seemed a bit quick though, I don't want to say to much incase anyone hasn't watched it yet

Overall, I liked it. I did wanna see the bridge collapse though, from the external view we got earlier-on.

Spoiler

Pretty bad-ass that the tree/cave turned out to be the living creature, and that the hellscape world had more layers than just the shitty ashy Upside-down.

Now here's the question... Do you believe!?

It's hard to keep caring about a show like Stranger Things for eight years. The It franchise also, they string it out and everyone starts getting old so you can't even do flashbacks anymore and it's like the moment has passed, the hype train has left the station, it's clear by now the writers are just making it up as they go along instead of a single coherent plan. I've probably seen too much TV and movies. Say what you want about Game of Thrones, but they broadly stuck to their schedule.

I started watching Stranger Things this year, so it all seems new to me, 10 years to do a series is a lot. I still like it though

Believe in what?

I liked whatever season had the Russians in the mall. Season 3 I think.

I'm glad they gave Joyce something to do

In eleven being alive

 

[emigre]

I liked it. Was is perfect? No, but it had a resolution which I think most were satisfied.

I don't believe.

Okay I was retelling the ending to a friend the other day and uh

Can somebody explain to me what the kidnapped kids were suppose to do in all of this???
They all just say that Vecna needs them, but all they amount to is being in weird meat pots until Vecna used them on the dinner table to... make the dimensions collide? But why?

They were made to be sort of vessels like Will in a sense but... they don't do that. They just kinda exist and give more... power to Vecna to do that???

Yeah he amplifies his power through them.

That's it, that's all you get.

Peak writing, the macguffin doesn't even have a real explanation

 

[Greninji88]

I don't believe.

How did eleven talk to Mike and her nose didn't bleed? It's pretty confusing that eleven is dead OR alive

Bad writing. Duffer brothers aren't that great at writing.

I started watching it recently, Seasons 1-3 were really good, but Season 4 has been a struggle as it's so boring with hardly anything that makes any sense to it.

I know there's one more season after it so guess I'll watch that, meh.

If you didn't like season 4, I don't think season 5 will be your cup of tea. Let us know what you think if you do though
