How did the bad guys make such a perfect copy of Wills body? Regardless of it being stuffed it was accurate enough for his brother and friends to be fooled.

They're CIA or some even shadowier governmental department, its best not to think about it beyond that probably.

up until the cop cut into Will's fake body I though for sure that it was going to be some alien growth, like it would be all made out of that strange meat and cobwebs that the gates are made out of

is the black deputy the black kids father or no? they show his parents at the funeral for the stuffed will doll iirc but that's about it

Lucas has a Vietnam vet dad and he's apparently very well-to-do in town, you see him and his mom at the funeral. The dad wears cashmere and they have the nicest house in the neighborhood. Lucas also apparently has free access to his old 'Nam gear, which is curious--you don't see a lot of success stories in TV or movies about Vietnam veterans. If I had a guess, his dad may have been a field medic during the war, and now practices as the town doctor, but that's entirely just picking likely possibilities to connect the two. It's also just as likely he went back home, afforded college with his payment from armed service, and is now a lawyer or something too.

Either way, it ain't the deputy.

Maybe because he was desperate. Maybe because he figured the kids were crafty enough to get away, maybe because he saw what Ele could do and realized they most likely weren't a real threat to her or maybe because he figured they could actually protect the kids from tulip face

Yeah and his mom rocketed out of there screaming "That is NOT my son" and then something about how she didn't know what that thing was but it isn't Will.

I really enjoyed the show, but the monster looked cheesy as gently caress and the CG was bad. The monster would have been way better if they had used real effects and a suit like they actually did in the 80s.

The next step was to build it. We decided to work with a company called Spectral Motion. Spectral did a lot of work on Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy films and they’re one of the most experienced companies with animatronics. It was a race to get the creature completed in time; they had only about two months, meaning there was almost no room for error. But they knocked it out of the park. The first time we saw our monster’s head peel open… it just blew our minds and transported us back to our childhood. And the way it moved was terrifying — their brilliant robotics engineer had designed the animatronics in such a way that the movement of the head “petals” never repeated themselves. They had a life of their own, moving in unpredictable and bizarre patterns. It felt organic. Creepy. Real.

I like how Will craftily managed to survive for (days/weeks?) and Barb is hamburger in literally 30 seconds.

I have a theory:

The upside-down is not actually a reflection of the town, but is a wormhole to another location in our plane of reality. Given the blasted nature of the landscape and the generally toxic nature of the environment, I think it is pretty clear that the wormhole connects Hawkins directly to Detroit.

Also, I'm surprised the thing still had to hunt after consuming Barb :hampants:
