Stranger Things S4 | OT | Every ending has a beginning (Open spoilers)
- Thread starter Conditional-Pancakes
- Start date
- Entertainment Video/Streaming OT
I was pretty bored with this season until that episode. I think episodes 4 and 7 are actually great, especially 4 (Dear Billy). Definitely the best ending to an episode I've seen in awhile. Sadie is the best thing that happened to this show.
So, this is about a scene in the previous season but it's just so good and a big part of why 3 holds a special place in my heart.

I can't see the video, it says "This video is unavailable" like if it was deleted.
Dodging these spoilers as I'm starting ep 3 but shit; they really on their "Nightmare on Elm Street" vibes from the current enemy so far!
Fantastic start to the series!

Started my ST3 rewatch last night, and man. The show really does nothing with Will. I feel so bad for Noah Schnapp - his character clearly has sexuality issues he needs to work out, he has a fucking superpower, he's the only one of the core group of friends who's always there for his friends when they need him (Mike is a bad friend), he's survived the Upside Down's machinations twice, and yet he's always relegated to the background.
I really hope season 5 finds an actual use for the poor kid. He's got so many story routes they could take with him and they just don't.

Kate Bush loves that Stranger Things is introducing the youth to her music
Kate Bush didn’t think Stranger Things would put her back on the charts.

Sadie Sink is great and I love episode 4 but I don't think she would stand a chance against Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul) or Sarah Goldberg (Barry), especially after their respective seasons this year. BCS isn't even over yet either.
I'm thinking we're definitely getting payoff with him in Vol 2 but yeah, from a narrative point he didn't really get much to do in Vol 1. and ESPECIALLY s3.
Man I have so many issues with s3.
Ha, good point! Well I would be happy with a nomination at least.
I hope she wins it too. Phenomenal episode.

I heard her on the radio today! Wild times.
I think they've settled on Robin being the vocal point for sexuality issues.
Feels like Will is being focused more toward asexuality than anything else.
You both are probably correct. The reason I bring her up is that in the flashbacks we see all of the other test subjects demonstrating similar abilities to Eleven with telekinesis. Kali had extremely different powers than the rest of the subjects being able to show illusions and hallucinations. It seems strange that Kali is the only one with notably different abilities. Meanwhile One, has a combination of both Telekinesis and Hallucinations. El seems to be more adept with Telekinesis than One. Kali's illusions work in a different capacity than Vecna's nightmares.
Perhaps El reaches out to Eight via mindscape to give her Brenner's location and also to bust her out of the facility. Kali still seemed hell bent on getting revenge on Brenner and has demonstrated the ability to overcome security in government facilities. Eleven could then try and recruit her to face Vecna. Her abilities could be helpful in fighting Vecna and possibly saving others from his nightmares.
El's story in S2E7 was that using your powers for revenge is wrong, that she decided to use them to help her friends. Eight (Hate) can only come back as a villain or as having learned the same and returning not to get revenge but to save her friend.
Finally watched the new season up to the current episode. Used the last week with doing a complete series 1-3 rerun and now after being up to date I can write what I think about it.
Unfortunately, I think it's one of my least favorite seasons so far. The whole season feels like such a super slow drag. Kinda the same how season 2 felt, but maybe even worse. Season 3 still stays to be my absolute favorite, that season was so super fun and crazy stylized with music and beautifully directed scenes, they really mastered their work there.
And Scoop Ahoy is still the goat. Season 4..... Uff, I don't know man, everything takes so long, the whole Hopper plotline, the whole Eleven backstory thing, I was so glad season 3 had none of that stuff. I also don't like whatever they try to do with Nancy and Steve here, poor Jonathan.
Season 4 is the Matrix Revolutions of the Stranger Things series.

So why did Max rewind the cassette in e5 when she could just flip it and not waste batteries lol
I'm wondering whether this season (or the series in general) will end with a redemption of the Hellfire Club. The satanic panic is unlikely to be quelled in this particular era but after thinking about how Lucas was worried that they'd never be considered "cool" unless one of them pursued sports, as well as Eddie talking about how Dustin and Mike would be the "future" of Hellfire once he graduates, I'm thinking that the Club may become more popular as high schoolers turn toward embracing counter culture in the wake of their exploits. It'd be a great parallel to the first episode when literally no one is interested and they're all considered deviants.
This is why I also feel that Eddie has to be redeemed in the eyes of the public somehow, because if Eddie goes down a pariah, that'll stain the Hellfire Club's name by association. Somehow I don't think the series wants to put the kids into a position where they're stanning activities of a Club which has irrevocably been marked as a satanist cult.

Jamie is incredible in this show but honestly that scene has some pretty bad CGI.
Oh no this group of social outcasts will be cast out from society
lol yep.
I think I've had enough of the 'kid jostles to be one of the cool kids' plots with Lucas this season. If next season ends up being them coping with popularity it's gonna start looking more like Riverdale than Stranger Things. No thank you.
Social outcasts and "this group stans someone that has been officially branded a serial killer" is quite a different stretch to deal with. You can already see how their parents are throwing a panic about where their hobbies led to.
I have no doubt their interests will always be painted a niche but I also firmly believe that their "reputation" will only improve rather than regress.
I'd love to see how this idiot handles himself in there. He's always talkin shit
He is the perfect casting for a dull as dishwater 80s father. Would fit right in to a Hughes film.
I think Vol 2 will be when Will actually does something. We just found out that he essentially created the world in the Upside Down when he was captured (it existed before as a formless void full of lightning). We also have no idea why Will was the first to be captured (unless I missed something).
I am Homer. Marge is the credits sequence for Volume 1:

Gonna be honest, now that that they know he's human, I kind of want one of the gang to ask him "So do you feel weird at all being an adult running around naked after a bunch of kids?"
They talk about Will and reveal some stuff about him in Volume 2 at 22 minutes in here. Theres also some talk about what not to expect in Vol 2 so definitely new info so if you don't wanna know anything until you see the episodes yourself dont watch!
He was riding his bike home one night and just so happen to be near the Demogorgon when it broke out from the lab. It was a random chance encounter. I don't think there's much more to it than that.
Plus I think their house is near the lab? So it makes sense why the demo was near Byers house.
They mentioned in an interview that they've patched in changes in previous seasons.

So the blu-ray version of the show will now be forever known as the "nobody cares about Will" edition, lol!
Lol. Speaking of the blu-rays, it sucks they never did one for S3. I have the S1 and S2 ones and the packaging was awesome.
Duffer's did say that only someone with the blu ray version of season 1 will be able to tell what they changed.
Nah they just accidentally set an episode this season (where will was moping a lot) on a day that they previously established was Will's birthday so it really looked like all his friends had forgotten his birthday, but turns out it was just a production mistake
