As of right now, here are the current season packs available online. Use the filenames to pick the release you want. NTb is the best quality so far. The 4K season pack by NTb is nearing its release.
I've just started watching it, I like it so far but the plot with the sister getting CHADed and winonas acting is letting it down
Nathan Ross
The sister subplot gets better
Eli Parker
it was eh, not bad but eh
Brandon Stewart
Why did you corner this child in an abandoned building, user?! Can't you see she's scared?
Evan Collins
Man what the fuck is wrong with you? You can't watch a TV show without getting triggered by Chad?
Blake Baker
in the end she sticks with Chad who isn't really a bad guy
Leo Bailey
Just finished it. 7/10 from me. +Great cinematography +Really good casting +The chief is based and definitely captured the 80's spirit on that character +Great pacing and story arcs escalation +Nancy ending up with Steve and not the weirdo felt right. -Feels like an homage to the 80s instead of something made back then (there's no way a film like this would have a soundtrack so heavy on the synth and not cheesy pop songs) -Kids screaming can be annoying -Predictable -El is overpowered and just like in Looper I don't like it when they use fantasy in a sci-fi theme.
I hope they make it an anthology series unlike Halloween that missed the chance to become based.
Camden Foster
including Chad is just too easy and done do to death. It's literally a trope to have Chad in your TV and films
David Cook
As a non-beta male, I was pleased to see the realism of Chad getting the girl in the end.
Jackson Rivera
so does Will become the next flea man or the thing he coughed up?
Isaiah Garcia
Hopefully youre right. Each season becoming a different story about some strange occurrence in that town, a la Eerie Indiana, would be dope.
Always really wondered what Halloween couldve been if they kept that formula after Season of the Witch.
Jackson Taylor
Also, just finished watching it. Give it a hard 8 to a soft 9 out of 10. Show was overall great. Nice soundtrack. The cinematography was awesome. Based chief. I never watched Twin Peaks or that other show people are comparing it to but I really enjoyed the ride.
Owen Edwards
You really need to watch Peaks. You'll notice the similarity between the pilot and this show instantly, plus its a 10/10 show
Leo Lewis
My wife had never seen it, so I've been rewatching it with her in the past weeks.
They're not THAT similar. There's the overall small town mystery feel, but that's about it.
Brayden Myers
The Chad is actually quite cool.
Asher Green
Spoiler: Chad unChads.
Chase Stewart
I liked it a lot. I'll give it a 10/10 for the first go and maybe an 8/10 for rewatchability since the show seems to lose flavor once you know the result, i.e. the ride isn't as fun.
The tribute to '80s Sci-Fi and Horror was really terrific. I adore the way they made the chief look like Jack Nicholson and had Ryder's character axing through the wall (which was a door to another dimension) in spirit of The Shining. The elements of the story centered on the kids and the girl were very E.T., while the girl's powers were Carrie.
That isn't to say there aren't elements of stories outside of this categorization. I think the party was a bit like Sixteen Candles (or maybe I have another movie in mind), the kids feminizing Eleven was like Weird Science, and Lucas using his slingshot to hit the monster was like It.
I think they wanted to fit a lot in there (and I'm probably missing a good deal anyhow), but they then put the ones they couldn't weave in as posters -- Star Wars, The Thing, The Evil Dead.
Nonetheless, I liked it a lot, and the ending has me hopeful they have a Season 2 story in mind already. I just hope that blowing their '80s load in this first season won't cost them.
Jace Collins
I literally thought the same fucking thing.
Alexander Powell
>I don't like it when they use fantasy in a sci-fi theme.
What was fantasy-based here? El? Her telepathy/telekinesis was from MKULTRA mind control experiments, she wasn't a witch.
I'm trying to fathom where this critique came from, within the context of your post and the overall show, and I'm missing it. Unless you didn't like the kids' dungeons & dragons references which was the only fantasy-thing about the show at all.
Jaxson Williams
>Unless you didn't like the kids' dungeons & dragons references which was the only fantasy-thing about the show at all.
It's another dimension, but it's very supernatural, it could be hell, the underworld, whatever. It's not pure sci-fi at all.
Samuel Sullivan
the chad actually turns out to be a pretty cool dude in the second half of the season
Hudson Fisher
there's LoTR and the hobbit references thrown in everywhere too
Jaxson Walker
>le nitpicky asshole nerd face :V
hjehehehehehe
Gabriel Jackson
I didn't like her telekinesis. I have seen it so many times before.
Thomas Rogers
I'm not the original guy, I like the combo a lot. Lost and BSG are two of my favourite shows.
Aiden Hughes
Sorry mate
Ryan Miller
Not sure why i decided to play the first episode, but pleasantly suprised.
Jaxson Smith
Im super fucking worried for this show, since it seems they won't make this into an anthology
Brandon Hill
i was kind of hesitant too at first, i expected it to be another super 8 type of mediocre piece of shit, but it's surprisingly good
Anthony Price
DUMB U M B
Andrew Russell
looks shite
Austin Rogers
I don't like this whole 'different episodes' format. Seen it way too many times before.
Landon Brooks
Just said the same here I assumed it'd be an anthology because the story was structured so tightly as like an eight hour movie. So long as the next season is less of a spinning-their-wheels type of thing that successful American shows like to do when they know they have to keep going for a while and more of a "this is the sequel" kind of thing it could be alright. Like the Gremlins 2 to this show's Gremlins.
Austin Walker
my one big complaint about the show is cleary should have had more screen time
i was disappointed at how he was handled. the guy is a great fucking actor and he seemed wasted.
Leo Hill
>tfw he's not being burly in Game of Thrones near me
Cast burlyman in all the things, no homo.
Parker Wilson
isn't this guy the diner owner that gets capped in stranger things
John King
I'll give it credit for being only 8 episodes, the biggest problem I have with most netflix shows is that they all seem to go on for 2-3 episodes too long
Noah Ortiz
yes, he shouldn't have been offed so quickly.
Lucas Diaz
t. Got fan
Xavier Brown
lol i thought this was a knick thread for a second. i suppose that's what i get for not reading any other post than the one i'm replying to.
Jace Bailey
Just like your face
Daniel Brooks
too much noseblood imvho
Grayson Williams
The show should be applauded.
Alexander Walker
>chad turns out to be a good guy in the end
FUCKING BULLSHIT
Eli Cook
Fuck I need to buy some more comfy sweaters.
James Bailey
I guess it just comes down to me not really wanting to know more about the upside down, the more they explain it the shittier its gonna get.
and If they drop a different supernatural thing into this town, Im gonna have a hard time suspending my disbelief
Oliver Perez
>Assumptions
I hated the books and the show was LE HARDCORE MATHUR SHOW XD BOOBS so, yeh. I don't think so.
Isaac Moore
He was always a good guy, he became a great guy.
>ditches shitty friends >is cool with Jonathan even though he's a massive creepy perv who beat the shit out of him >uses his baseball skills to take out the Demogorgon >does Tom Cruise impressions
Kevin Butler
Winona showed her true Jewish form in the last episode.
Adam Robinson
>bad guy gets the grill series
Dropped
Jacob Walker
meh, go watch AHS
Kayden Miller
winona was straight up awful in the whole show. she does not play the 'crazy mother in hysterics' role well at all
Ryder Stewart
This is the part where betas lost their shit and screamed at their TV.
William Harris
please stop i cant take it anymore
Nathan Diaz
>bad guy literally the only bad thing he did was insulting Jonathan and he regretted that pretty quickly and ditched his shitty friends
Thomas Wilson
>peer pressures girl into sex after getting her drunk >breaks the camera of a dude whose brother is missing >enables anti social behavior of his friends by not stopping them from spraying all that lewd stuff until he himself is confronted >tops it all off by smugly rubbing it in the brothers face by getting him a camera, inferring that the only way he will see the sister naked is behind the lens of a camera
hmm
Jaxon Perez
That's not even the most beta moment in the show. Barb, a true nigga, was the fifth wheel to two couples including those cucklecucks and ended up getting murder raped by slenderman cthulhu in the fucking twilight zone silent hill ass bullshit realm.
FIFTH
FUCKING
WHEEL
Adam Martin
but they had premartial teenage SEX and no one got pregnant or suddenly went through a massive personality change the next day! MADNESS
Dylan Reyes
...
John Bennett
desu what jonathan did was some straight up creeper shit, i don't blame steve for getting pissed off
the only true douchebags in the show were those two kids that held the knife to dustin
Oliver Sullivan
>>peer pressures girl into sex after getting her drunk
Are you kidding? She went there for sex, she got new underwear and everything.
>>breaks the camera of a dude whose brother is missing
Dude spied on them and photographed his girlfriend getting naked!
>>enables anti social behavior of his friends by not stopping them from spraying all that lewd stuff until he himself is confronted
Anger, he apologised and helped to clean up the mess voluntarily.
>>tops it all off by smugly rubbing it in the brothers face by getting him a camera, inferring that the only way he will see the sister naked is behind the lens of a camera
Dude was very happy with the camera, he was taking shots of his qt mom at the end.
David Cruz
How come you couldn't post in the thread that was already up?
Jace Butler
>tfw barb was the second best girl after winona
James Perry
Of all the things we could be talking about in this show, like how Will spit out a slug and shit, we're talking about Jonathan getting together with Nancy.
You are all insecure pussies.
Adrian Wright
I didn't mean Steve calling him out for his creepshots, that was legitimate, I mean when they met in the alley with the graffiti
Jace Ross
fucking saved
Carson Cook
it would be the most magical romance of Our Times
Nathan Phillips
Sup Forums - Teenage Girls
Nicholas Stewart
I thought she was good, just horribly one-note. Everyone else had levels, but she just maintained the crazy across the series instead of building to it or leaving it behind when someone believed her. Poor direction, because we all know she can act normie.
Luke Wilson
Missed that in my life, so i hate to see it on my tv or movie.
Jeremiah Garcia
are you kidding me? I was super glad for the nerd.
He didn't put his dick in that slut, probably would have gotten aids
Blake Hernandez
It's like Twilight for twenty-something autist beta males.
Robert Lopez
the realistic portrayal of a female going back to the chad over a dude who goes through life and death situations is more interesting than a scene that was put in to make sure people realise there's going to be a second season
Tyler Brown
I loved it! I can remember watching this video and thinking it would make a good movie/show. I'm glad they did it. The kid from this music video is number 9 in my head canon.
>hey babe, did that pathetic creep beta photography nerd finally leave to go cry while jerking off alone on Christmas day? >yes, dear. he's all gone now. We can finally get cozy near the Christmas tree and fireplace without him staring at us all weird or try to take pictures of us again. >what's that loser's name again, babe? >uhhh, I think it was...wait...I dunno. Oh well. Who cares? He got his camera so he won't be bothering us anymore. >wanna suck on my cock later when your parents go to sleep? >hell yes! I love your big cock, Steve. I can't wait for you to cum on my little face and let it drip on my tiny titties. >atta girl. Merry Christmas. >Merry Christmas to you, too, Stevey.
Matthew Adams
lol, THIS THIS THIS
Poor Barb.
Liam Morgan
>Next Time on Stranger Things, Steve moves to Pawnee
Charles Ross
I interpreted the slug-scene as the boy clearly having ptsd for the rest of his life.
turns out I was wrong xd
Asher Clark
>liking her just because you think shes attainable
Keke
John Russell
>xd No.
Daniel Wood
I will never forget thee, Barb of Tarth.
Jace King
>tfw you realise you're barb
Angel Ortiz
Mate I don't what to fuck Barb at all, I am the male Barb. We are all the male Barb here.
Camden Bailey
...
Hunter Foster
I think if it was a PTSD metaphor he wouldn't have been so nonchalant about it. (Or did I interpret that right? His reaction was so fucked up.) I think El's flashbacks were supposed to be like PTSD though, because they were flashbacks to her abuse and trauma.
Eli Reyes
And becomes Spider-Man.
Ryder Murphy
>the scene where lance pulls out all his dad's 'nam stuff from the backpack
Ryder Garcia
That'd have been interesting but the wink wink with waffles and the sheriff was just a bit too much
Henry Foster
I'd rather be a beta than a cancer kid.
Jace Lopez
>*Lucas
He was a true G.
>utility belt >Rambo bandana >biking to the gate on his own >strong independent lil nigga who don't need no telekinetic gf
He better be Will's best friend.
Asher Sanders
You've never seen a hysterical mother then
Nathan Lewis
if you had to choose:
nancy or nancy's mom
i'm going for the mom
Oliver Anderson
Nancy is too skinny for me and I like skinny girls. Mom all the way.
Jackson Wright
The mom is the best girl in the entire show
Asher Richardson
I think you're all missing the point here. This was an unhappy ending for the sister, not for the photo-nerd. He was happy at the end with his brother and Mom, she was stuck with a guy that she didn't really love. It was a nice nod to betas.
