Stranger Things 2

[Muddy]

It was a total distraction and a waste of time other than teaching 11 how to hone her powers in more.

and to whore up an 11 year old and make her look 40

[Teh One Who Knocks]

At first, I thought the point of it was going to be Eleven trying to convince Eight to come back with her, but El didn't even attempt to do that.

You crazy

I liked season 1 and I thought this season was even better (except for episode 7 as you mentioned, not sure what the whole point of that was TBH and seemed rather pointless). I'm already looking forward to season 3.

I thought season 2 was better than season 1. The problem I have with the series is their hook is the 80's kitsch, and they forget about it. They also don't expand the world in any way, just a bigger monster no one sees but Will and more underground tunnels. Also, the kids Mike and Lucas overacted so much in season 1, they were asked to dial it back in season 2. You may have noticed Mike's character was extremely quiet in the recent season. He took a lot of online hate. I thought Will and 11 did a fantastic job with their roles. The lisping fat kid isn't funny and made me uncomfy this season.

I heard an interview with the brothers who created the show when questioned about Sean Astin's death on the show. It was telegraphed a mile away and clunky in the way he could of continued walking slowly in the lobby and lived Their answer was that the character was meant to die earlier and they expanded his role. He 'had to die' at some point so we took him out during the lab scene. They didn't have to kill him.

And why add in another teen aged, older douchebag? Steve's progression was pretty cool and they have Will's older brother.

AND the absolutely CREEPY encounter with the older guy in the beard who gets teens drunk on vodka and encourages them to fuck in his house???? check for cameras!!!

You're just looking for things to complain about now

I do agree about Max's brother, what was his purpose in the show other than just to be a complete asshole to everyone? He had nothing to do with the greater plot of the season at all. Earlier on in the season IK thought maybe it was going to be revealed that him and Max had some hidden purpose for being there, but nope, it was just him there to be a douchebag to Max and everyone else, that was pointless.

Everyone knew Bob was going to die as soon as he accompanied everyone to the lab, that's not like it was some big thing to get disappointed about. I swear the internet needs to loo0k for things to nitpick about sometimes. He served his purpose and it was fine the way he died. I dunno, I'm not that hypercritical about the show

The creepy guy? He was the one trying to take Barb's parents for everything they had and just happened to also be a conspiracy nut that Nancy and Will's brother needed to help them along. So he wanted to perv out and watch some homemade porn being made, who wouldn't?

[Muddy]

Hell, Max had nothing to do with the season...

I don't think it's being hypercritical to note things that take you out of a TV series. Bob had a red shirt on from episode three, so I can complain Overacting, lack of plot development, addition of unnecessary characters are all fair game...when discussing...opinion.

If I was looking for things to really nitpick, it would be the addition of the asshole and his little sister. The completely unrealistic acceptance of the 'romance' between a black kid and a white girl in the 80's (I was there, it would have raised every eyebrow on the block), and the fat kids' cat getting mutilated, which was played for humor.

If a show is going to accept the accolades (great new show, great sci-fi, we needed this!), it should be able to hold up to a small amount of scrutiny.

Calm down Petunia, I'm just giving you a hard time

[Hal-9000]

I'm always calm. There's a name calling mentality that appears during online discussions involving opinion. You hit that in post 1 , so I knew where this was heading.

I enjoyed the series, and thought it could have been better.

[Muddy]

Still not sure why Max was in the show..

[Muddy]

Maybe her and her brothers story has not fully been told yet.

I said you were crazy, no name calling

Now Calm down!

Still not sure why Max was in the show..

She joined the gang

Maybe her and her brothers story has not fully been told yet.

That's a possibility too...some unknown connection to the former employees at the lab or something possibly?

[Muddy]

I think its also Bullshit how Steve chases Nancy for 2 seasons and everything he does he does for her and the countless times he risks his life for this bitch and then she go's off and fucks the shy guy Jonathan and Steve is all like, "oh it's ok.. duh.."

WTF was that?

Yeah Steve's character has been pretty unbalanced. One day he's a total dick, next day he's helping everyone. Then Nancy dumps on him and he just takes it

Oh...and I was Max's brother in junior high school, right down the smoking while exercising
