"Literally every scene is 1 of 2 things: A character lays out a 'crazy' theory/plan about how to defeat the monsters while the other characters stand around in disbelief and make quips. 'It's so crazy it just might work!' or One of the characters gives a dramatic monologue where they cry about their "
"Season 5's total budget is estimated at just under half a billion. To remind, James Cameron made Terminator for about $20m in today's money. John Carpenter made Halloween for the equivalent of about $1.2m. Brett Gelman has probably been paid more than that by Netflix for his awful appearances."
"Enjoyed it a lot back in 2015 when season 1 came out. Was cool to see a popular show that took place in my state. Unfortunately like every piece of media that hits it big it turns into MCU slop."
"I was watching the Stranger Things finale (yeah, yeah, spare me but this isn't really about the show), and it hit me how insanely nostalgic people are for the past because honestly, I think there's good reason for it. Especially the era before the internet, and maybe even before full-blown globaliza"
"Why do I need to wait three years for an eight episode season of a teen drama like Euphoria or Stranger Things?"

"For context, I used to be compared to Joe Keery when I was in HS, a lot of it based off of my long hair, but I hadn't heard it in a while. I was at Wegmans when this girl came up to me and said 'sorry, has anyone said you look like the guy from Stranger Things?'"
"Of course, when Trump was elected we were headfirst into the 80s. This is obvious. The trucker hats, mullets, pit viper sunglasses, Stranger Things, New Retro Wave."
"Im not sure why every relatively decent 80's song is caught up in the netflix sphere of influence. Seems odd that the music's identity is being dissolved into being a sidecar of a popular tv show."
"There is genuinely something aesthetically wonderful about 80s blockbuster popcorn, Spielberg movies. Shit like The Goonies ,E.T. , Gremlins etc. The reason nostalgiabait like Stranger Things is so popular , is because people miss this stuff, most media just doesn't feel like this anymore."
"Any way, I read this morning that Stranger Things has earned Netflix at least $1 billion since 2020."
"He taught himself how to play classic piano and how to sculpt just because he wanted to. He loves science and Stranger Things."
"For younger millennial and older zoomers, it seems to be a blue collar suburbanite with some 70's to 80's details (likely due to Stranger Things or other similar media)."
"No guys, this isn't about morbidly curious deep-state intelligence majorly overshooting in their endeavours: creating horrifying consequences for themselves, their test subjects, and the innocent residents of small town America. It's actually all because of an incredibly villainous, wrinkly, born ev"
"What people seem to crave is a work of art that's meticulously planned from start to finish and filled with crevasses that they can explore endlessly with their community. Which isn't really compatible with the constraints of big budget TV as it is with literature. Also I've never seen the show."
"I was watching Stranger Things and in a season a couple of the characters were running around giddy. They seemed so happy to meet and spend time together."
"Of course, when Trump was elected we were headfirst into the 80s. This is obvious. The trucker hats, mullets, pit viper sunglasses, Stranger Things, New Retro Wave."
"Im not sure why every relatively decent 80's song is caught up in the netflix sphere of influence. Seems odd that the music's identity is being dissolved into being a sidecar of a popular tv show. If zoomers think 'Every breath you take' is from stranger things, can you even blame them at this point"
"He loves science and Stranger Things."
"Embarrassing plot and these writers should be ASHAMED of themselves for such paternalistic revisionism"
