Josh Lyman posted:E7 is turbo garbage and a complete failure of storytelling. It needed one more rewrite but it’s not that bad. Sorry it’s just not.

AlphaKeny1 posted:Nah it was real bad and felt like corny super hero poo poo instead of all the other charming Stranger Things stuff going on. Punk version of El is cool, but no need to waste an episode on it. Hence the rewrite. Her character growth stuff was worth a journey for an episode. Execution was off, not concept.

Lester Shy posted:I haven't started S2, but my memory is like swiss cheese, so can somebody remind me about season 1: do pretty much all of the major characters know that verifiable weird supernatural poo poo is happening? Yes.

Elentor posted:I loved this season. I think I liked as much as S1. I even liked ep 7. Honestly in the same boat. A lot of lovely hot takes In this thread from grumps but emotionally the season really stuck with me in a great way. Looking forward to a rewatch shortly.

Spergatory posted:The more people freak out about episode 7 and treat it as some abomination unto God instead of just a slightly weird detour, the more I like it retroactively. Agreed. There’s a lot of people in this thread suggesting fixes that would,be far worse than what they actually did.

Brother Friendship posted:There was plenty of blood coming off the dogs during the climax and, to me, that indicated that they were getting mowed down. They also only took a handful of hits to get downed. I was more annoyed that there was a plot based on/off switch for how killable the demodogs were...there were plenty of guards armed with rifles in the lab (did they seriously send every single rifle (all 6) into that obvious trap?) and, more than that, why did Reiser survive a mauling without any indication of how he got away from the dog?) Because at that point they were hunting for other characters. Who knows how long he hid first.

Krabboss posted:The problem with the kids is they don't seem affected by the events of the first season. Even Will Byers seems barely affected by the whole saga when he's not having an upside down episode. He's cagey about sharing things with his mother and friends when it doesn't make sense for him to be. Dustin keeps a tiny demogorgon as a pet when he should be terrified of it. I'm too lazy to think about other examples but they don't seem to give a poo poo and instead have barely motivated tantrums about Max every episode. You were also too lazy to watch because the kids are completely effected by the first season and they spent a great deal of time showing it.

Krabboss posted:Uh, Mike somewhat vocalises that he misses Eleven a couple times. Dustin and Lucas don't give a poo poo except for saying like "oh we could be killed for knowing this stuff lol, whatever." Will is eager to get away from his mother and older brother, even though he's puked up weird slugs and is having frequent mental excursions to the upside down. First, Lucas and Dustin were arguably the least effected by last years events, so them being the most “okay” makes total sense. Second, they’re kids and really do think they’ll live through anything. They get scared when poo poo goes bad again, or when the real threat (Lucas is legit scared when Max doesn’t believe him) and it’s there. They are coping the best. Somebody else mentioned how badly Mike handles it, and the adults and Will are clearly effected. As for the other poster losing it about 11 and Max, they’ve already been piled on enough I feel, but I’m bringing them up again for a reason. I’m all for deep diving about a show, but if you’re going to complain at least have the material back it up. If anything, the shows better because it takes so much time setting up the characters and letting them breathe. They don’t do a lot of extraneous exposition (and every time a character fills in someone new they cut away.) the show is valuing the audiences intelligence, which is refreshing.

i am the bird posted:Sure but like none of this poo poo is narratively earned. I’m not saying it’s unbelievable. I’d just like to see an earlier scene or two that makes later scenes have a good payoff — y’know, better storytelling. It’s still a really good show but sometimes they take shortcuts and it’s frustrating. Sorry, no. It’s completely earned. It’s not terrible writing, you’re just terrible at watching this show.
