Stranger Things (Netflix) TV Show • Page 219

The fact that any of these kids are remotely functioning after the shit they’ve seen is a miracle

 

I will say, I felt for Steve when Dustin took a drill to the roof of his car lol

 

this all happened to my buddy Jeff

 

I just don’t feel bad for Dustin. Yeah, the bullies need to back off, but Dustin was practically begging to get jumped when he put a snake in the guy‘s locker and spray painted hell fire club on it. What did he expect?

The way he’s been treating everyone is obnoxious too. Dustin needs to get smacked back into reality and reminded everything isn’t about Eddie. Which is a shame because he was my favorite character out of the group of kids in the first 3 seasons.

 

Well, Eddie was introduced by being an obnoxious asshat to everybody else just minding their business in the cafeteria, so in some ways I guess Dustin is carrying on the legacy

 

jeffs fucked and we all know it

 

Most unrealistic thing in the show is Dustin acting like this for 584 days and him somehow still having a single friend

 

It’s wild how much Stranger Things 5 and IT: Welcome to Derry are mirroring each other plot-wise.

Also it’s crazy how much better the CGI is in ST compared to Derry. Watched episodes of both shows back to back yesterday and it was night and day.

 

Well, it is one of the few shows Netflix is willing to dump a lot of money into haha

 

That digital de-aging of Will's face on another actor's body threw me off so hard. Thought they cast a whole new guy to play young Will. Which I guess they kinda did but lol

 

I thought it was fine. Didn't really look much like Will, but didn't give me uncanny valley vibes anyways. I see some people saying they get Polar Express vibes from that scene and I think that's an insane take.

Still don't get why they bothered with that, though, when they had a flashback moment of Will and Jonathan with totally different actors. Weird choice.

 

Robin’s wardrobe being a reference to Winona’s in the nineties was pretty cool.

 

Dustin is grieving. He was closer to Eddie than anyone else in their group. And he was there when he died. Trauma changes you.

 

Sitting on this and the more I think on it the better it gets in my mind. I was so exhausted that night and there was so much plot to follow, but I already want to watch through again with a clearer head. A lot of stuff sticking with me.

 

Also, he doesn’t have that brother or sister to kind of share the trauma with like everyone else. At least to my memory

 

I think people would be less bothered by it if they didn’t know this was the last we’ll see of the character
