LOL i just noticed thatStill not over Will just wanting to play some D&D with his friends and no one wants to, then he moves away, they start high school, and join a D&D club and have a blast all the time 🥲
Eddie will come back cause death in the UD combined with a death in the regular world will cancel out Eddie's death because Writers logic of "oh damn the fans loved em bring em back!"
I need Max to have a full recovery.
Vecna preying on the depression felt by abuse victims was already dark enough… then to have Max's escape thwarted by this walking red flag of a religious zealot added to the pain.
My head cannon tells me that Vecna didn't even need to kill his targets to open those gates- he just gets a kick out of doing his signature move. So I'd greatly appreciate Max being the one who got away, thank you.
I'm sure it's been said plenty of times before but Joe Keery would make an excellent Nathan Drake.
Is there any chance that they explore #8 in Season 5? Because that whole side-story just feels like SUCH a waste. We are rewatching S2 now, and I can't stop wondering what the they were thinking.
Now that he's gotten older, they made it a very real, obvious thing. Now it's 100% clear that he is gay and he does love Mike.
why is my twitter feed full of NOAH SCHNAPP CONFIRMS WILL IS GAY?
I saw season 4, the show made it abundantly clear, I don't need the actor to confirm shit... like wtf?
2. I saw enough people who said they were honestly not sure what Will's deal was.
He will die, defending Mike from some monster. :(I really hope Will gets a moment of happiness, or something in Season 5. So far he
Season 1: Gets captured and lives in the upside down for a week, also gets demoslugs implanted in him
Season 2: Possessed by Mind Flayer
Season 3: His friends ditch him
Season 4: His friends do exactly what he wanted to do as soon as he leaves, he's afraid to come out of the closet, he watches El lie to Mike and gets stuck as a very awkward third wheel, and then he becomes a Vecna radar
Please let him be a main character with real agency. He is the most level headed and probably the most kind out of the original four kids
Reading through the replies on their tweet for this article saying they're shocked and this came out of nowhere.....‘Stranger Things’ Star Noah Schnapp on Doja Cat, Season 5, and Will’s Sexuality: ‘He Is Gay and He Does Love Mike’ (EXCLUSIVE)
"Stranger Things" star Noah Schnapp discusses Will Byers' struggle to come out on Season 4 and his recent apology to Doja Cat.variety.com
Well, that answers that haha.
Conditional-Pancakes I forgot to say, but I finished reading the Robin book. It was really good!!!! It even had a spotify audio drama podcast on spotify that went with it as well. I'm going to read the Max book next.
These would surely be the same people who were shocked the first time Rue kissed Jules on Euphoria.Reading through the replies on their tweet for this article saying they're shocked and this came out of nowhere.....
Lmao didn't his own mom bring it up when talking to Hopper in like the first or second episode of the show?Reading through the replies on their tweet for this article saying they're shocked and this came out of nowhere.....
Kinda sad it had to be spelled out. My biggest critiques of the show include all the times they cut to the obviously relevant traumatic event that corresponds to the in-the-moment traumatic event happening (Joyce flashing back to Bob getting eaten while Hopper is about to get eaten by a demodog, for example), but I suppose when you have a show that is multi-generational in viewership you really do have to spell out so much shit and assume the audience's baseline for callbacks and story is z e r o.
All I'm saying is watching Better Call Saul after Season 4 (which I really ended up enjoying) is jarring for this reason.
That scene in the car was like being hit over the head with a rainbow-coloured baseball bat, too lolReading through the replies on their tweet for this article saying they're shocked and this came out of nowhere.....

I can't tell you how many times I've pitched shows only to be given notes that I need to simplify and spell things out more. "Beat the audience over the head with it" and exact words I've been told.Kinda sad it had to be spelled out.

Yeah, straight audiences often act in-denial about any character not conforming to their default for sexuality, gender, relationships, and all that unless it's outright stated in the work or in an interview. Call it projection, call it subconscious phobias at work, but it's everywhere and, like, you have viewers actively looking for proof against characters like Will being gay and it's honestly kinda shitty?
Or how about Gus from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul? Conducting a years-long revenge plot for the murder of, naming a scholarship after, and dedicating a small village complete with memorial fountain to… my best friend lol no homo. But neither show SAID Gus is gay so clearly that brief moment you see kid's toys lying around his house in BB confirms he had a family. Y'know, despite Gus being well-established as a Machiavellian schemer by that point who wouldn't be above "setting the stage" to play on what his guests most value and BCS confirming he lives alone.
Society's not at the point yet where we can trust viewers to figure that shit out on their own, unfortunately
It's not just an issue with depictions sexuality. Audiences really just generally struggle to pick up on nuance or subtlety. Studios respond by being exceedingly on the nose… and audiences still miss the most obvious things.
Gonna sound weird and show my age here but I get strooooong The Critic vibes from this and the other pieces she's done (which are all wonderful and everyone should check out more of her art!)
I only started watching. In season one. I hope Nancy dies. I can't stand her archetypes.
Give her more than a few episodes. She grows on you.
We finished rewatching S2, and I forgot how shitty Billy's dad/stepdad was. Super abusive shit head.
Yeah, by the end of the series, Nancy's biggest crime is Natalia's terrible drunk acting in S2. Anybody who doesn't enjoy Action Nance is not a friend of mine.
Oh man, that was BAD.
To be far, faking drunk is probably tough. But still, that was a special kind of terrible, haha.
Whats that effect where people see something in media and they assume it's the right way to do it and even if it's inaccurate, it 'feels' wrong to an audience to not have it? IIRC, it originated with how they used coconuts to mimic horse hooves on pavement, and that's apparently not right, but it's the sound that the audience accepts.Speaking as someone who has played drunk, and acted WHILE drunk before, yeah. Drunk acting is really hard. But a lot of people play it like the way they've seen it done, badly, on TV and in sitcoms and shit, and that just exacerbates it all.
