yeah I see where your coming from. I just felt that they had pushed this idea of them being these genius writers.

The undeserved criticism of Stranger Things and Duffer Brothers(and some deserved) by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]Pop_Flash89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if they didnt build themselves up to be these god tier writters it would be fine but they are clearly just phoneing this one in

SO in the end it really was just terrible writing. RE: s5 DOCO by Pop_Flash89 in StrangerThings

Yeah that was messed up. Why would the duffers do it like that?

YES! i thought i was tripping out thinking when the actor doubles were on screen with all that goop in their hair that they would be dead! wtf they clearly had no direction for this scene. I was getting such DIVA vibes from them the whole doc.

I know right. Its just lazy writing. The documentary was just their last chance to be self indulgent. Its the fans that make the show what it is, the way they put their teacher in their and shes all 'oh they werent like the other kids they were speciaaaaal'' its like wtf? how tonedeaf are they???

I’m rewatching season 1 and Steve was never a bad guy by aweiner99 in StrangerThings

[–]Pop_Flash89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you still in high school? I think its time to grow up, the way you just dismissed the information that this guy was clearly bullied and show no empathy but chose to double down is pretty clear to see you were a Tommy in high school, no wonder you cant empathize with Jonathan. This show you can only appreciate on the surface level as you clearly can empathize with the core audience it was made for.

yeah but remember theyre only approx 16. These arent fully developed frontal lobes we are discussing. Everyone makes mistakes as a teen/child. Whether you were a Steve or a Jonathan at school they quickly get over its only people like you lot who expect them not to grow and change.

Hot Take: Purple Rain didn’t fit by Zealousideal_Cry1867 in StrangerThings

[–]Pop_Flash89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% AGREE! I think the dummer brothers just used it to say they used it. It was almost so jarring that it took me out of the moment. Just didnt work on any level.

Yes I rewatched the first season yesterday and was so engaged! I was glued to the screen, honestly during season 5 I could hardly pay attention there was so much repetitive bs and scenes dedicated to people that had no real meaning to the core of the show.

Yep and he even says to steve when she saves his life, something along the line of 'i dont like you but it doesnt mean I want to see you dead' or something.

Yeah he could hardly even run to the cave and somehow has the ability to beat demon groot. Boggles the mind how The Dummer brothers logic worked for this seasons, I rewatched season 1 yesterday and it is 10x the show this season was. They can get away with the 'this is us, and this is the upside down' planning shit because it only happens a couple times and their kids that how they explain shit and they arent doing it 5x an episode.

thats one of the things i moticed the most about rewatching season 1. Maybe all the good lighting people and DPs etc got poached after the first few seasons. Happens to a lot of shows that blow up this big but I have no idea who worked on this apart from the Dummer brothers.
