I get this funky high on the yellow sun.

Lol this all made me decide to say gently caress it and just read the wikipedia summaries of season 3/4. I love how we've gone from a small town adventure with a tight cast of characters you can follow to literally infiltrating Russian gulags and "you fight a monster, YOU fight a monster, EVERYONE FIGHTS A MONSTER". Can't wait until mid season 5 when portals open up all over the world and it's a complete global threat.

BIG BIG SPOILERS FOR STRANGER THINGS 4 IF YOU CARE

dr. brenner started his project to make more psychics after things with 001 didn't work out. the show draws an explicit link from that to eleven, and says that brenner did something to make sure he got psychics out of the process. is 001 eleven's biological father? apparently a piece of spinoff media says it was the boyfriend of her mother, but that's spinoff media and that's never stopped franchises before

I only watched Season 1, but her mom was an MKULTRA test subject already. There's a whole subplot about finding that out.

Right. This season retells Eleven's history with some new stuff. 001 is the first in the series of psychics (leading up to Eleven), and he's also the big bad evil, Vecna. The question is if Dr. Brenner used 001 to inseminate a woman in order to create Eleven, as there's a time jump in there.

steve, robin, nancy, and new character eddie go through a portal to the upside down and spend the entire episode there beating the poo poo out of monsters and having adventures. it really neuters the danger and horror to just be like "oh yep four people with oars to use as clubs can survive here no problems." the ante doesn't get raised until new villain vecna grabs nancy at the end of the episode because now the regular poo poo in there isn't scary.

how the hell do you make the stranger things monsters not scary the scariness of the monsters is like the one aesthetically defensible thing about the franchise

thats gotta be one of our best politics metaphors in awhile niche figure learns to his surprise that a fuckton of his supporters want him to pick a fight with the bosses because they loudly think hes in the right and his response to this is to fold in such a way that implies he won in spirit when he didnt actually win anything whatsoever and probably made the situation worse by backing down so easily

Yeah I gonna files the movie at some point and treat it like a popcorn movie (because it is) and have zoom zoom plane action going while I play some zoom zoom plane simulator

Netflix produced the second season of The End of the F***ing World and that was pretty good. The showrunners were also smart enough to stop after two seasons rather than trying to push it into a franchise type show like ST.

lol I googled this and apparently netflix cancelled the showrunners other show (“I Am Not OK with This”) out of the blue, then offered him money to make a second season of TEOTFW that he didn’t even want to make and twisted his arm until he obliged. I guess it’s not surprising he told them to eat poo poo afterwards.
