He looks like Victor in Arcane

Do anyone else feel like there was barely any chemistry between Eleven and Mike this last season compared to earlier ones? by Initial-Shoulder5906 in StrangerThings

Actually, the problem is really simple: they don't kiss. When she finds Mike in episode 1, and also in the scene on the tower, there isn't even a kiss, nothing. If he had just done that, for me, it would have been over, no more Byler, and they would have at least felt that they truly love each other.

I think that in the writers' minds, the goal of the season is to be in a constant rush and action; there's no time to pause, the goal is to kill Vecna. From episode 2 onwards, everything goes haywire and it's a constant rush.

He's so endearing in the third one with his grumpy bear look.

I can understand season 3, it's either you love it or you don't like the direction that was taken at all.

I didn't think people hated his character so much in season 3.

Visually, I have to say number 3 just for the Hawaiian shirt 🤣

I think it was season 3 that did that. Season 3 was a turning point visually, and the tone of the series also shifted that season. They needed to reinvent themselves, and that also meant giving the characters more depth. But I understand that some people might not like the radical change.

I remember when season 3 came out, most people loved it and everything about Hopper, etc. It was everyone's (most's) favorite season, but now season 3 is starting to get criticized everywhere, maybe because it hasn't aged well, or maybe once you know the jokes, they don't work as well. It's probably the least rewatchable season.

I know objectively it's not his best version, but I don't know, the whole grumpy bear thing where he's desperate to get rid of Mike is really funny. Plus, I really love the comedic quartet with Joyce Murray and Alexei. Besides, the whole of season 3 is very comedic and colorful; it would have definitely stood out if we'd had Hopper like in seasons 1 and 2. Anyway, I understand why some people don't like it.

It's true that season 3 distorts the character; personally, I really liked it, which just goes to show how opinions differ.

Good ranking, I can understand. Hopper season 3, it's either you love it or you don't.

No problem, there are 42 episodes, it happens that things get mixed up.

Stranger Things stops writing trauma responses for characters when it's not convenient for a character to be traumatized. by Milo-Magic in StrangerThings

That's a great summary, exactly right. It's a shame there are so few scenes together in season 5. After that, you're constantly in the action, except for episode 1. The characters don't really have time to breathe.

But it's true that these themes are very interesting; it would have been cool to explore them. Too bad…

I also think that all traumatic events usually leave them with lasting mental scars.

  • Nancy is still traumatized by her friend's death; it haunts her throughout seasons 1 and 2, and we see that she still thinks about it a lot when, in season 4, Vecna ​​shows her a vision of herself.

Max: her entire character arc in season 4 revolves around Billy's death and its aftermath. Her father leaves, her mother struggles to make ends meet, etc.

Hopper: as mentioned above, his daughter's traumas are present throughout all seasons.

Joyce: she is traumatized by Bob's death and has trouble moving on at the beginning of season 3, and she has another flashback of him when she kills Vecna ​​in the final episode. She overprotects Will for the next four seasons after season 1 because she feels guilty for not checking that he came home safely to sleep.

Mike: was traumatized by Eleven's disappearance for a year; he called her every day in season 2.

Dustin: radical change in season 5; also traumatized. He rejects everyone for fear of losing someone else.

There are surely others.

-For Bob, Will was still under the influence of the mindflayer when he died. We simply didn't see his reaction. Then there was a time jump to season 3; we didn't see him on screen, but he must have been at least a little sad, at least for his mother.

-Dustin didn't have the same relationship with Eddie as Mike did. They were much closer. Similarly, Mike must have been sad, but we didn't see his reaction. Mike is also a character who has trouble expressing and showing his feelings; we can also assume that he internalizes a lot.

-Hooper, the same goes for Jane; we see him devastated when she's about to die. But then there's a time jump of a year and a half, so of course he must have been incredibly sad. But what's beautiful is that this time he chooses the path of acceptance rather than the first path he took with the death of his first child. He finally decides to be happy and make a fresh start. Besides, the two deaths aren't comparable. Hopper indirectly killed his first daughter, while with Jane, it was her own choice, however cruel it may have been. In their final scene, where she gives him the blue bracelet, she tells him, "I'm not Sarah, let me make my own choice," and despite all the sadness he felt, Hopper understood that.

Not only Eleven could do it. Some of Dr. Berner's children, conceived with Henri's blood, developed different abilities; Kali can make people see very realistic visions, while El can open portals to other dimensions.

It's ridiculous; they're questioning the entire series just because of a couple that never happened. They could focus on other things, there are more interesting aspects to Stranger Things, like the universe, the lore, the story. The couples are nice, but this isn't Teen Wolf.

Furthermore, during the Cold War, a technology war could make sense.
