Yeah, to be clear I'm referring to the terminally-online twitter standom that drives the discourse, not the general audience.
Really should have ended after 1 Easy Predictions: - Will coming out storyline ten years too late - Only characters who were introduced this season actually die - Forced big musical moment using an underrated 80’s song - Hopper is going to be so toxic and we’ll still end the series at his wedding to Joyce - Eleven gonna put a hand up and scream so loud while thinking about love and friendship to win this final battle - Little baby Demogorgon popping out of the ground in the very last scene
I just think it's gotten too big and overstuffed and I know some people are gonna be like 'blah blah always people complain' but the mammoth movie sized episodes are just not what i personally want and it annoys me on a principle level that they can't write a decent arc to fit a streaming show structure. And lets be honest, it's a pretty liberal window of length now, but everything at 90 mins to 2 hours? come on now. This is such an embarrassing list of movies - it's shit that was critically and audience panned (with things like kpop demon hunters being an obvious exception). It really shows that if you complain something sucked, but watched / paid for it anyway, you're gonna get more shit. The show list is better and makes sense as if it's a truly bad show, you're not going to finish the season.
The “everything 90-120 minutes” thing has been debunked now, first 4 episodes are all roughly an hour
My wife and I have been dreading they won't be able to help themselves from killing off Steve rather than let him realize his dream of having a family.
Ah. I saw the first leak where everything was 2+ hours (and knew that was fake shortly after) but I saw another where they were still 90 minutes(ish) each but if I'm wrong that's good. I will look forward to it more if the majority are around the hour mark.
Netflix just hates supporting the theater industry. They’ll do it occasionally so they can be included in the awards season. That’s it
Would be cool to do a one day event at the theaters the day before the finale airs on Netflix (Dec 30).
I'm looking forward to it and how they will wrap up the story. Being released on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve means I probably won't watch every episode the day they release though.
At this point of my life, you couldn't pay me to remember anything that happened in the first four seasons.
