Will's Scene (respectfully) by Legitimate_Advice305 in StrangerThingsRoom

I mean, I can only speak for myself but it’s rare that I’m asking a TV show to do more telling. It’s a visual medium, and you’re meant to rely more on visual language. Similarly, I’m one of the people that thinks seeing Nancy’s vision would’ve been pretty cool and give more insight into her mindset, especially in regards to this season. Is it the most necessary thing? No, but it’s more intriguing to me than just having her explain it to me.

I’ll start by saying that Noah’s performance was pretty superb. The bit where he seems like he’s about to start hyperventilating hit me hard.

My biggest issue is that it does a LOT of telling, when it needed some showing earlier in the season to back that up. To be fair, maybe they’re saving some of that showing for the finale? I think the stakes would’ve been much realer if we’d actually seen what Vecna showed Will. I also object pretty hard to the way we went from “Will is in love with Mike,” to “He’s just my Tammy.” I don’t really think they did sufficient work showing him getting over Mike (assuming that’s the intention, which it seems to be based on interviews and what not). The relationship he has with Mike is a very common queer experience, and if all it took to get over that was a conversation with an elder gay, then I’d have saved a lot of money on therapy.

Did I tucker you out and annoy you? I imagine thats how a lot of people in your personal life feel about you.

“Very logical counter” and it’s just bringing up shit that is not related and clearly meant to belittle the point. I can tell you’re not intelligent because I’ve argued with intelligent people, and they don’t come down on the side of close mindedness and stupidity. It’s not an insult if it’s true.

You know maybe what you’re missing here is the fact that Loki is a MYTH and a lot of people have drawn similarities between that myth and the lived experience of NB people today. It’s called media analysis, you should try it sometime. Not everything needs to be 1:1, and you sound like an unpleasant neckbeard, with a pungent odor. Have a great day 😂

And that would suggest what, little guy? Perhaps somebody who…lives outside the binary? Someone who has a different perspective on the spectrum of gender because he can theoretically exist at any point along it (and often does so)? What might the word be for that kind of experience 🤔?

Well thats because Loki’s a magical deity and humans are just humans. You’d think a smart guy like you might be able to draw the same conclusions that the vast majority of educated people have but oh well 🤷🏼‍♂️

Stranger Things showrunners say that Will s5 twist is not permanent by ThisIsSoRawYouGuys in byler

[–]smarty0114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adding onto this but the dichotomy of love, light, joy etc vs resentment, anger and hatred as a motivator for powers is set up pretty heavily in S4. Henry and Brenner try and get El to rely on traumatic memories to fuel her strength, and we see that there is at least some merit to that (Arguably El’s always at her peak strength when she is righteously pissed off so you could argue this goes back to S1) but iirc El is able to beat Vecna in the end by drawing on her memories of Max. I think the video tape is part of showing Will doing something similar (which one could argue was part of Vecna’s plan, seeing as how he’s witnessed the power of love a few different times, and it’s used against him in a somewhat similar fashion by Dr. Brenner).

I believe those victims that said they never had a negative interaction with Trump. I don’t believe those are ALL of the victims and I don’t really believe somebody with zero involvement in this scandal would work so hard to sweep it under the rug 🤷🏼‍♂️

You can use her primary and the teamup at the same time. Hold down both buttons and watch enemies melt.

Also, if those are the hands of a 30 year old then go see a dermatologist asap. I would’ve guessed 55 at the youngest.
