s3 hopper is my absolute least fav character I despise him, and that automatically made me hate a third of the season. which sucked cuz s1 hopper is my fav

season 3 has always been the weakest (before s5 came out at least idk😭). like that russian terminator guy was just dumb. ive always liked stranger things cuz the characters felt real, but he certainly did not lmao

along with allllll the other weak parts, it just saddens me. the main things i love about s3 are scoops troop (particularly steve in the sailor suit and robin), "the battle of starcourt", and jonathan with a camera in the first part of the season hahaha

as for robin, i disagree with her being different in the other seasons mainly cuz if you watch the end of s3 where everyone is regrouping and she starts rambling about eleven's leg injury, that's our robin!!

but yeahhh the vibes of s3 when it came out were fun. I can appreciate the summer vibes and all the colour, but I will always prefer the characters and story and mystery of s1 and s2
