/Stranger Things General/ - A Wizard denied his homeland edition
>Previously on the last episode of /stg/ >Previously on past episodes of /stg/
Pedobaiters and Hebeshits go to war, El posting continues to gain strength, Skelenancy brand Toothpicks, /ourguy/ lost in the fabric of space time, What the fuck did Will eat, Barbara still lost and forgotten, Steve did nothing wrong, Hopper is now /ourbigguy/
The nature of the Upside Down and what are the consequent effects of surviving a week on nothing but tap water and tentacle nutrients. Is Will truly fucked?
Discuss the show, and most importantly of all, have fun!
>what are the consequent effects of surviving a week on nothing but tap water and tentacle nutrients You can go weeks on water alone. As for the hentai portion, unsure.

It's not going to be hit by every bullet, though, and not every bullet will do full damage. They just got unlucky with their accuracy or the monster's dodging and had low damage rolls. It could have survived some 30 bullets in addition to the fire and the bat IF those bullets each did 6 damage, which would be the perfect average for a 2d6 roll.
If the actual average came out to 3 damage per bullet, that doubles the number it could take, withstanding up to 60. At an absolute maximum, if every bullet did the minimum 2 damage it would be 3 times as many bullets, up to 90. On the other end of the spectrum, if every bullet did a perfect 12 damage it could only withstand 15 bullets.
So the monster can, in addition to being burned and beaten, withstand anywhere from 15 to 90 bullets in total, depending on exact damage. There were 6 agents in addition to Brenner, and an MP5 magazine holds 15 rounds. If they each have an MP5 and use only one magazine, they have 90 bullets to fire into the monster.
There are plenty of variables to be had in actual hit rates and damage rates because they won't hit with every bullet and not every bullet does the same damage, so all we can really determine is whether what happened existed in a realistic range. I believe it did exist in a realistic range, and the agents just missed a lot of shots and/or didn't do enough damage with each bullet fired.

They had a pretty substantial animatronic monster, but then covered it up with CGI. I don't know what they were thinking.
Do you think they'd go the Alien route? It seems like that already, but instead of chestbusitng it's slug burping. He's tainted as hell either way.
I know, I feel bad for Will. So I wanted him to have his own general.
Fireball or protect?
Julian Stewart
>What the fuck did Will eat He ate nothing and then got tentacle porn raped, not sure on the calories for that one and only had tap water the week he was in captivity
A normal adult can live on water alone for about 3 weeks, but it's a rough experience, a child like Will would probably survive a week and a half at most, as you can see he's in rough shape when El finds him in Castle Byers right before the monster attacks
Chase Torres
>as you can see he's in rough shape when El finds him in Castle Byers right before the monster attacks
He was also soaking wet it seemed. Which is kind of interesting.
Michael Sanders
Well I'm watching the show again rn while showing it to someone. The scene where El finds barb, she'sdead as fuck and has a slug the size of a foot coming out of her mouth. At the end of the 7th episode, the monster gets Will. He probably only had the facehugger on him for a period of one or two hours
Leo King
checking in, brother
rewatching right now. on episode 2. the feels still haven't left and i'm still evaluating all my life choices
Kevin Lee
I am actually baffled, that this "WHAT DID HE EAT" keeps comming up. Do people really think you cant go a week without eating?
Nathaniel Cook
what did he drink though?
Jack Foster
I just think the bullets weren't strong enough to kill the monster because it seemed to have some sort of armored skin, if they were all equipped with M16s, then they may have had a chance, but 9mm and .38 bullets were simply not going to do the job
Camden Nelson
It wouldn't be unreasonably to expect him to try eating, though.
Andrew Richardson
Tap water.
We need to make a pasta explaining this.
Jace Taylor
me
Thomas Kelly
He was likely sweating because he had a fever, a scared shitless starving small child will get sick easily in that kind of situation
John Nguyen
>ywn grow up in the 80's >your childhood didn't consist of exciting romance and going on adventures with your bros >you will never be able to obtain that joy >your life has been a waste
Zachary Morris
This show was so good that when it ended, not only was I sad that it was over, I also reevaluated my entire childhood. I didn't do enough, and now it's too late. No adventures, no childhood romance... Why live?
Jayden Peterson
This should've been a damn SLUG edition, because what is the point of them? The slugs aren't baby monsters, they're literally just slugs. So since Will isn't dead he can voluntarily get them out of his body. They're probably just a way for the monster to corrupt your body and keep you in the upside down.
It gets better. Might take a week or two, but I'm past that point thankfully.
I know you can go a week without eating, I just thought it was funny it kept popping up in past /stg/ threads without fail.
Chase Peterson
what are you guys watching to occupy you until Season 2: El Boogaloo? I've already rewatched it and probably will again soon, but when i'm not in the right feel for it i'm watching the Walking Dead, trying to get caught up. I would be watching Supernatural, but the Netflix upload schedulers are a bunch of cunts and won't upload season 11 until right before season 12 starts airing. same situation with the walking dead i think.
Leo Edwards
i should stop coming to these threads teebeeaych fampais
Blake Morgan
I'm just going to ask it again Why do people want a whole new cast, town and plot? That's just stupid after all that's been going on in season 1. You get all attached to the characters, involved in the story and then you throw it all away. The hell?
I hope it won't happen or I'm gonna drop this series
Nolan Long
i'm researching trying to find another tv show that creates that comfy community feel of ST
so far nothing
Christopher Wilson
Maybe they're another species? Perhaps there's some sort of hierarchy where the monster works for the slug things? I don't know.
Zachary Young
i thought it was OK. pacing was decent. set design, costumes, music all came together for a solid early 80s feel. el was a great character. winona ryder's acting was amazing. but wayyyy too many get-out-of-jail-free cards than should be allowed for an 8 episode season. monsters make no sense and are just there as antagonist stand-in. also, there's practically no setup for a 2nd season?
Logan Rogers
Watch Super 8.
Eli Williams
Will the pain ever stop?
Charles Sanchez
;_;
>ywn be a kid again >a qt MKULTRA princess in a dress will never stare into your soul while attempting to kiss you in your bathroom
Jesus Christ.
Justin Moore
i try not to overdo it with positive feels. for example, i loved a certain level of dishonored. playing it low chaos was a super relaxing comfy experience. in fact, dishonored was the last thing i really really liked as much as i do ST, but in a different way but i played the game to death chasing that feel and others, even just because i wanted to keep having fun with it
i'm much more careful about chasing the feeldragon now
William Long
Because the main mysteries are already explained now and people want a fresh case
Xavier Watson
>ywn be this alpha
Brody Ortiz
jesus fucking christ I can't take it anymore
David Wright
She obviously wants Jon more.
Noah Nguyen
how would El know what kissing is?
Adrian Cook
I'd just hate for them to fuck something up. For instance, I don't want El to come back not innocent. Her hair would be grown out, she'd probably adapt some bullshit "badass girl" persona, and she wouldn't be cute anymore.
Jeremiah Martinez
>it seemed to have some sort of armored skin
I disagree. When shot with the revolver it spurted blood from the entry points, so those .38 bullets were enough to pierce the skin and draw out actual spurts of blood through the holes.
Though M16s definitely would have given them a better shot because those do 2d8 damage, raising the average damage by 2 and significantly reducing the average number of bullets needed to put the creature down.
Isaiah Davis
>tfw steve
Andrew Hernandez
yeah shit's like a drug. doesn't help if you have an addictive personality
was the level the 2nd one?
Benjamin Robinson
WHAT DID HE DRINK? tho
Brandon Cooper
At least S1 would still exist.
Ryan Cooper
those people are dumb as shit, they think it will be like an 80s version of American Horror Story or True Detective. Speaking of they need to bring back "True Detective 3: Season 1 part 2"
Kevin Walker
It's already been confirmed, dozens of times over. Same setting, same characters, a sequel with most likely a small time skip. A year? Who knows.
Probably. There's gotta be more than just tentacle face monster in the upside down.
They have plenty of mystery to go back to. The upside down is literally as big as the entire world, if not bigger. Who knows what other realms could be connected to it. There could be some kind of fucking Event Horizon level of Hell.
Jace Johnson
no, it was the level on the bridge where you have to abduct the royal physician
Lucas Morales
Oh fuck no Where's Eleven? What's with Hopper leaving Eggos in the woods? What will happen to Will? What has exactly happened between the organization and Hopper? They can't just go and pull a new story out of their asses right now.
>It's been confirmed sauce?
Wyatt Harris
Donnie Darko
Zachary Brooks
donnie darko was just straight up depressing not even the fun kind, just plain depressing
Oliver Young
Don't forget that there's a -4 attack penalty to longarms weapons such as the MP5 being used against adjacent targets. Those people are much more likely to miss in that close hallway environment.
Joshua Flores
The power of love, m8, the power of love.
Ryan Ross
What was his name?
Noah Price
Yeah, of course I know that there are still things to explore and some cliffhangers. But thats not nearly as interesting as when the show started and you still had to find out about the basics
Benjamin Walker
Brenner.
Kevin Jackson
Bad Ty The Science Guy
Charles Lee
They better not skip too much time. I don't want them to be teens/young adults in the next season. I could almost guarantee they would make El come back as an irritating "hardened" version of herself.
She wouldn't, she was very surprised and caught off-guard when it happened. But it would still feel good and her hormones would still cause her to react positively since she clearly has some level of affection toward Mike. Intellectually she might not understand kissing, but instinctually/biologically the reaction would be undeniable.
Noah Johnson
Papa
Mason Nguyen
CUTE U T E
Mason Johnson
well i meant the bathroom scene, she starts moving closer before mike does
Parker Russell
If they jump 2yrs it keeps the kids from aging too fast real time and keeps the comfy school feel,
Also means Jon can fuck off
Hunter Lee
Probably for a hug or something
Jaxson Johnson
Twin Peaks, "Monster of the Week" episodes of X-Files, etc.
Camden Howard
>they might actually pull some bullshit where el really is dead next season
Isaiah Moore
So what's up with the Will Slugs, and him flashing back to the upside down? What's gonna happen with that you guys think?
Jaxon Edwards
Moving closer is pretty much intuitive when you want to be closer to someone
Austin Scott
i'd stop watching
Thomas Myers
That would be fine, because two years is probably realistic for the next season to finish.
Elijah Collins
He became a conduit of sorts, maybe?
Leo Bennett
I am almost certain, that he will gain the ability to switch between worlds on purpose and that this will cause more harm then good
Hunter Flores
Twin Peaks was too fucking weird.
Andrew Jackson
He can shift between our world and the shadow world, if he learns to control this it's basically a dangerous type of teleporting, >move through the shadow to get between places, but theirs monsters and its poison Wills got shadow-walk is what I'm saying
Nathan Ward
>she starts moving closer before mike does
Are you kidding me? Mike is beyond awestruck and paralyzed upon seeing that his waifu has completely vectored in on his position. She locked on and was ready to fire an #Elmissile that would have blown his fucking mind.
He didn't budge one bit and accepted his fate.
Oliver Powell
I'm sorry you think that way. That's one of the main appeals for most people.
Jaxson Richardson
Yea I reckon, hope they don't rush s2 just cause it's popular
Caleb Morgan
Is there any confirmation that it is getting a Season 2?
Aaron Brooks
Maybe Will could save El
Isaiah Lewis
>that filename I miss Deadly Premonition. I actually started drinking coffee thanks to both TP and DP.
Isaiah Ward
I think Will is just traumatized and you're all out of your minds.
Blake Jenkins
That's prob going to be the main plot of s2, which kinda bugs me, sounds like more of the same, which I also want sooo idk
Brayden Williams
Pure PTSD? doubt it that's a shitty cliffhanger, show comes back,
>Nah all in his head the just kids nuts
it'd be a bit weird
Gavin Miller
That would be horribly inconsistent and misleading visual storytelling
Connor Lee
I don't even like cherry pie that much, but TP got me craving it a fair bit.
Still haven't brought myself to try a Sinner's Sandwich yet
Alexander Ramirez
Will's mom a cute
Parker Mitchell
Has the OST come out yet?
Caleb Thompson
>Spit a space slug >Flashing between worlds >"What's wrong Will?" >"Nothing"
Jaxson King
>BUT WHAT DID HE EAT Sure is Shamus Young in here.
Nicholas Kelly
has nobody considered that maybe he was waiting to tell them because he didn't want to drop that on them during christmas?
Noah Hill
I think everyone thinks that
Ayden Ortiz
As soon as he did something slightly scummy, I thought he was going to die. When he walked into the Byers' home, I thought he was going to die hard. When he managed to put up a fight against the Demogorgon, I thought he was going to die harder than anyone has died before. But then he didn't. AND he still got Nancy at the end.
Nathaniel Price
Private Joker
Cooper Barnes
Thu filmed season 1 in only 5 months. But casting took a while because the duffer Bros had an extensive process
Joseph Gomez
Who /Benny/ here?
Adam Stewart
Holy fuck you're right. I didn't even realize that was him.
Asher Carter
So he reacted like most people would, I guess
Juan Hughes
>tfw I can't wait for all the rule 34 and fanfiction
Am I a bad person?
Jace Brooks
The amount of DnD shit in this thing is astounding. I wish all my players were as engaged as Mike's are. Also, an entire campaign in one day? Damn, kid goes hard.
