How do you think it compares to S1? Like the question I'm asking is, did you like Stranger Things in the first place?¨

*because I think S3 is better than S2 but both are much worse than S1, because in the beginning the show had novelty, and mystery, because you didn't know what was going on

Season 1 was really good and I felt season 2 was okay if a bit derivative but season 3 leans so heavily on blatant 80s nostalgia that it's impossible to take seriously

S2 felt like such a drop off a cliff that probably S3 feels better just because I had no expectations for it anymore.

My memory of season 3 is overbearing whatever that style of synth music is called and the teenagers deal with their hormones and there's a monster and russians that are terrible at their job. It felt all over the place and just wasn't good imho.

At least it didn't have eleven's weird gang thing, so I'd agree with doverhog that it's better than season 2 and season 1 was better than both. It feels like 2 and 3 just keep hammering on the "nerd nostalgia" angle and it gets tiresome after 3 seasons especially when it's not stuff i'm personally nostalgic about, or had no experience whatsoever with like DnD.

We should release all black people from prison. Some of them probably deserve to be there, but at this point there's no way to know for sure so it makes more sense to wipe the slate clean and start fresh.

The vast majority of comics are not good at all. Neither are most books, or movies, or TV shows.

Here is a panel from another comic book. You may spot a difference.

Handicapped bathroom stalls are not handicapped parking spaces. They are there to ensure handicapped people have a place to poo poo, not ensure that they never have to wait to poo poo.

All toilets should be fully enclosed handicapped accessible locking stalls (with a red/green marker to indicate if it's locked or not). We aren't barbarians, there's no reason why we need all those gaps in the stall for people to see that you're in there and that you poop. Nobody wants to know all those grunts and awful smell are coming from your boss.

also you should be fired on the spot if you try and open a locked stall, and arrested if you start shaking the door when it won't open.

the reason stall haves gaps at the bottom is for ease of cleaning, so smells can dissipate easier, and to try to stop people from loving in them

Put individual drains in the stall floors, put proper ventilation in each one. The solution is out there, buildings are just too cheap to allow their employees to poo poo in comfort.

If you want to make someone think a comic book is good, but you don't want to talk about the plot to avoid spoilers, then you should post a page that is artistically impressive or interesting even removed from context

mirroring the panels is really dumb and bad. It fucks up the composition and if there's any words or symbols or anything like that, it becomes really obvious and distracting that it was flipped

It's obvious and distracting that the words are in the wrong order too.

I get that if you read a lot of manga you get used to it things being backwards but every time someone posts a page out of context it looks weird and wrong.

The only bathroom I ever saw that violated this was at the Reichstag. The walls went up about 20 feet and all the way to the floor. Plenty of room for cabbage farts and orgies.

As somebody who grew up in a post - communist country with no real connection to western popculture, I think the main thing that saved Stranger Things 1 was that it was pretty nuanced about its nostalgia aspect, it was enjoyable even if you weren't part of the "only 80s kids remember" circle jerk - it was built as a really solid story.

But then idiots started obsessing about "omg, it's like the 80s, remember the 80s?" and the writers decided to indulge this obnoxious crowd, which made the latter seasons, 3 in particular, practically unwatchable. Also they have run out of ideas and characters, and use the 80s poo poo to fill in for actual content.
