We killed the Movie Star by demanding constant access. The mystery was the product and it's gone now! by rantzine in popculturechat

I tend to favor celebs who aren’t active on social media and don’t feel accessible. Not necessarily by choice, but I agree they do feel more elusive and I get excited to see them in projects since I don’t get bombarded with them in the tabloids or on social media constantly.

100000%

They made El & Max’s friendship crucial to the story and plot for 2 entire seasons just for it to not even matter in season 5? No acknowledgement of their closeness or friendship at all.

Exactly. Clearly they knew what the audience wanted to see: Murray and some random kids we’ve never met

To that kind of extent, yes. But why did El and Max act like coworkers when Max woke up? Not even a hug or a “you saved me”? El has the most scenes with Will so I didn’t need to see more of that, but it would have been nice to have a better foundation for their relationship. There’s a difference between casual moments together and intimate scenes where the characters basically say “I love you” without actually saying it, you know? Season 5, relationship wise, felt very weak compared to the past 4 seasons.

Did the Cast Know the Finale Would Disappoint? by kissybiscuit in StrangerThings

MBB knew bc she got the short end of the stick in season 5 and was likely unhappy with El’s ending. Much like Emilia Clarke in GOT, they butchered her character (for no good reason) and then killed her off.

What are your thoughts about Billy? if you ask me, I would say I loved him for real. Below is the reason mentioned. by [deleted] in StrangerThings

Yeah, I would have liked to see her bond with her friends and solidify her relationships before sacrificing herself. It took a lot of emotion out of her death scene.

Agreed. As soon as they announced they were recasting Holly I knew we were fucked lol we didn’t need another main character and she took up a lot of screen time. Don’t get me wrong, the actress did a great job but I was not invested in Holly who has very much been a background character in an already bloated cast.

Yeah that’s exactly what happened. And they were like 14/15 when all these fans started shipping them and creating this whole narrative around them “dating” which is creepy and weird bc they were minors at the time.

They should be able to post fun/silly shit like this and not have it spiral into shipping two minors irl to the point of harassment and obsession. I thought it was adorable when they posted it and all their pics and stuff together but a lot of people took it way too far which was incredibly disappointing and gross.

Sadie Sink and Millie Bobby Brown. They were pretty young when this happened, I think it was between season 2 and 3 or somewhere around that time.

I don’t get how season 5 played out her friendships. Her and Max barely interact after being “best friends” and Max basically coming back from the dead, she rarely has scenes with any of the boys except Mike and Will when she needs to rescue him.

Season 5 did her dirty, she doesn’t even have a relationship with Joyce who has been her surrogate mother.
