We also love Billy.

Just finished watching ST2. I don't even remember what happened in the show other than 11 went to apply for xmen academy got cold feet and that took up like 50% of the show we could've spent watching our boy steve

For the finale I literally made sure our boy steve was okay and then went to fix myself a drink and boot up my pc so I can play games.

>Season 1: Mike is the best kid male actor in the show and Will is the worst
>Season 2: they literally trade acting ability
What the hell? Finn Tryhard's career is over before it even began
Will's actor was fucking outstanding this season

Will managed to be even worse than last season
He was nice in a few scenes in season 1
This season he's acting scared and crying 100% of the time

I think Steve is a pretty cool guy. Eh fights demodogs and doesn’t afraid of anything.

Remember that sweet girl from Season 1? It couldn't be found anywhere in Season 2? Was she eaten by the cloud-monster?

>"it's just a phone... it could be anywhere right"
yeah you're right Steve
unfortunately the writers are fucking hackfrauds

Season 1 was basically a derivative work, taking all the best parts from 80s films, mixed with oddball stuff already proven to be successful to give it a bizarre and mysterious feel. (Why nobody talks about much of the story being a rip-off of Elfen Lied is beyond me) It was good.

Season 2 was a derivative work of season 1, with many of the new ideas failing because they weren't taking heavy inspiration from already proven works.

the narrative how she only wants to be an ordinary girl is totally gone.

Don't forget, Billy is being set up to come out in season 3 and stand up to his dad and end up part of the gang.

>This season he's acting scared and crying 100% of the time
There's a fucking monster in him. What did you expect?

>Always rated him.
Fuck y'all noobs jumping on the bandwagon. You beta faggots probably thought cokeboi creep Jonathan was the best character. Fucking NEETs.

>Coming on to Mrs. Wheeler
>Gay

I agree. It could be seen as a homage to terrible 80´s sequels.

No he's fucking not, fuck off. Billy is an actual reaper of puss.

I don't think Mike was the best or Will was the worst in either season
But Finn was a great actor when you compare Mike with Richie in IT remake when are nothing alike

>be me
>visit brothers for the halloween weekend
>he's being Rick for halloween
>call him a fag
>asks if ive seen any of the latest stranger things
>say no, dont have cable or netflix
>tells me stranger things is best series on tv
>tell him i just never got into any long series. Breaking bad. Game of thrones. Etc
>tells me this is leagues ahead
>puts on first episode of new season
>absolute dogshit
>watched pickle rick episode afterwards to rinse mind of awfullness

>This season he's acting scared and crying 100% of the time
You say that like it's apparently easy to convincingly display those emotions on camera. It's as difficult as any emotion, particularly if it's a child actor.

Wolfhard just twitches like a fucking epileptic victim in every scene and thinks that's how kids act.

Im just really really shitty at 2 inconsistencies.

1. Why wasn't there regular security/blast doors at a government facility that opened a fucking door to another dimension?

2. Do bullets hurt/kill the demogorgons/dogs? assult rifles and sub machine guns in the hands of government staff do nothing but guns shot by the sheriff do? its like his hat reads +50 STR

Even Finn did better crying scenes in both season 1 and 2
Will's acting got old pretty fast

Coming on to Mrs. Wheeler and then going back to the car in a fucking huff because he has no genuine sexual interest in women, you mean?

Lmao it's fucking hilariously perfect that macho obsessed autists would fall head over heels for a new man crush who is literally being set up to come out as an overcompensating fag that is afraid of his homophobic father.
Couldn't fucking write this poetry.

All he managed to convince was being an annoying whinny kid for the whole season
He did better last season where he was showed to be brave and a sweet kid, he should just stay as a background character

Billy was so delicious. Those mascara eyes...damn

best new character or best new character?

Hi we're the best characters of the series

hey underage fag you can literally tell your own home phone ringing

I liked it. Just gonna wait until Sup Forums stops hating it and does a complete 180 as usual. See you faggots in about 2 weeks.

Jonathan - Nancy is so wrong.

>Will's acting got old pretty fast
Oh... you're just a Finnfag with no logical defense. Okay.

Is he trying to get a gig as young Kylo Ren?

>>Season 2 was not as good as Season 1, even discounting Episode 7

wtf I love episode 7 now

Have you never left your mom's basement to hear another phone in another house?

>accused another person for being a pedo when you're defending another younger boy
lol

Jonathan is an all around better character because he has flaws and makes up for them by attempting to be a better brother to Will, he lost his chance at Nancy initially because he had to attend to Will.

Meanwhile Steve is a good character because:
>eh chad and eh beat up monster wit bat xD lol cucks

'If you dislike something I like it's just because it's popular!'

Man that's some great work.

>and that took up like 50% of the show

it was one episode you fucking tard

Why is Steve's actor always wearing that whack hairdo even when he's not on set?

>DUDE ROMANCE IS THE ONLY WAY TO MOVE A PLOT FORWARD
I fucking hate TV

>not liking good things because youre a racist
lol look at this cuck

>1.
There were. The scientist tells Hopper the glass is made from polycarbonate. After they shattered through, the assumption is that nothing much can hold them back.

>2.
Yes. When Hopper shoots one of the demodogs with a shotgun in the final episode, you can briefly see its ribcage.

I'm not 12 like you you tryhard fag.
You can literally tell one phone ring from another since you've lived in your house all your life fag

>hey guys, it's me, your sister

see

this will never happen.

The best new show that is never discussed here is called: The Deuce

>1
>they smash through poylcarbonate glasss
>stopped by a thin hardwood door after they smashed through 20

>2.
>entire base filled with trained, armed soldiers
>ded without taking down a single enemy
>one drunken, unslept cop with a shotgun and ar15
>literally doomguy

Just a reminder if you don't agree that finn was the best thing about this season you should leave

He’ll be a new character called Darth Finnius the Wise

>I've waited for you
>one month
>gets pissed
that was hilarious

One layer of polycarbonate is hardly fucking appropriate protection from an actual inter-dimensional rift full of god knows what kinds of malevolent entities.
That facility would have had nuclear grade blast doors, multiple failsafes on the power system, all kinds of security measures and personnel, a comprehensive and rehearsed evacuation/lockdown procedure etc...

I've seen tighter security outside a fucking pub on game day than in this show at a top secret government facility.

can you post the scene where he got angry at Hop?
That was great

wearing crocs...

No, she was eaten by the menstruation monster.
Her development was clearly that of a girl becoming a teen and having hormonal outbursts.

Welcome to 17 year old girls.

I enjoyed it for the character interactions but man was this entire season lacking any sort of focus. It's not an exaggeration to say that there was literally no plot/story, it was just a collection of things that happened.

You sound like an expert. Do you know the BASIC programming language?

One character is a jewish porn movie producer called Harvey. In one he smiles and says: I m a degenerate!

Can't make up this shit. Art imitates life. Or was it the other way around?

Speaking of Billy how do I find porn of bullies fucking the victim's mom/sis/aunt/etc?

Nah dude I'm a real hacker I only code in java.

beep beep best actor coming through

>1
I think the point is they can break through just about anything, given the time. I don't remember the hardwood door scene, though.

>2
A lot of soldiers were killed doing the tunnel raid. The others probably did kill some demodogs (I mean, we really don't have an exact bodycount here), but were overwhelmed.

Also, Hopper being bullshit isn't a new thing in season 2.

why was season 2 so shit? I stopped caring around episode 8 and am just in it to finish it now.

They really should've never gone to chicago. also no one really likes the red head except for dustin and the black guy

basics

Don't get upset at a television because nobody loves you, homie.

Imagefap for all your kinky shit senpai

No way I can believe that a place like that wouldn't have mega thick metal blast doors at regular intervals
and is the demo dogs couldn't (easily) get through sheet metal on a bus then they cant get through real blast doors.

As for the bullets your telling me that a facility like that with trained military didnt kill a single demodog when things went south? it just felt like when things went bad all of a sudden the facility was under staffed and under manned.
It really broke my immersion

Are they going to fuck

Chinky eye finn

This entire season felt like filler.

>You cucks never have any actual experience with them IRL other than that one college classmate who didn't act like a nog.
I've met a good few of them, and I never went to college.

They literally shut a thick metal blast door behind them, after the demodogs break through the polycarbonate glass.

Also, I think you guys are forgetting what the lab was originally designed for. It was used for housing girls like Eleven. While there was some supernatural stuff going on, nobody expected something on this level.

The new head scientist in charge believes they can keep the portal inert and stop any spreading with fire. When Hopper presents him with possible evidence of something going on, he laughs it off. Stranger Things, the first season included, has always featured overambitious scientists that inevitably make a mistake or fuck something up.

I have a gf, that might be the reason why I cant stand romance on tv. Its not that big of a fucking deal.

Its a cheap way to create internal conflict without any real effort.

Max should replace Millie
She and finn had so much more chemistry

This. The first season had one simple mystery that gave context and meaning to everything, almost like the visual of the Citadel from Half-Life 2 letting you know where you were in the world. Season 2 had nothing to anchor your mind to, and no emotional home base that you could get comfy with. Like you said, it was a collection of things happening, but it didn't have the coherence or focus that the first season did.

was supposed to be a love triangle but white girls cant resist BBC.

It's a coming of age story where the main characters are in middle school. First love is going to be a big deal you fucking moron.

>First love is going to be a big deal

Still waiting on mine :D

Yeah, good thing we already blew that load in season 1. Twice.

Extra romance plots are just unnecessary at this point.

they only sent 6-7 soliders into the tunnel, thats a skeleton platoon.

What i thought was strange was at the beginning of the season they kinda hinted that they had adapted there weaponry to flamethrowers as guns seemed to be ineffective vs things from the dead verse. but then nope they just march em in with rifles.

>Mike did nothing
Finn didn't have enough screen time.

DUDE THE GERMANS WEREN'T GERMAN NATIONALITY. THEY WERE THE NAZI NATIONALITY

pajeet this meme is getting old quick.

We already fucking had the romance bullshit in Season 1 and they ended it perfectly with Steve getting the girl. But no, they couldnt have Nancy be with Steve and also be buddies with Johnathan. WE HAVE TO HAVE LOVE TRIANGLE AGAIN.

Adult first love stories are tragically underrepresented in fiction.

Does it bother anyone else that we are two seasons deep into this and know nothing about the monster other than:

1) It's spooky
2) It has a scary spooky mouth and eats people
3) It does not like to be set on fire

checked. But seriously it's disappointing.

You think Mike would've gone with EL into the whole but no. What was mike's role the entire time? "Hey you guys are weird, im gonna hang out with the freak the entire season"

she wanted to be an ordinary girl but then mike fucked up

youtube.com/watch?v=2xVWaDbORQQ

always bet on chad

Mike's a big bro protecting Will the entire time

Watching season 2 made me realize I liked season 1 for the kids going on an adventure comparing everything to dnd. Not the adults. The govt, inclusion shit is annoying.
It also feels like everyone was made dumber this season and forgot how they beat the last ones. A year passing is not enough to make someone forget that fire kills them and slimy shit is from the upside down. Everyone got nerfed except for El who's whole salt water bath seeking power thing was erased from lore and can do it whenever now.

I was going to complain about it being a show set in the 1980s about kids fighting hydrophobic monsters that milks nostalgia dollar ruthlessly yet at no point features anyone using a super-soaker. Then I was fact checking my post and learned super-soakers only went on sale in 1990.

Woah.

can confirm this is a comfy discord

chad nukem

>chads beating each other up, respecting each other and hating each other
Reminds me of my time in high school, you fucking losers would never understand

If your to follow things from dnd terms it seems to be an elemental of some kind.

An elemental being with psionic powers that has a "spider body with a giant head". it grows "roots" and controls its hosts with a virus (most likely there neurosystem) this is described as a slow effect as it gradually gains more and more control of the host. it can't however extra memories from its host.

What don't we know about this earth elemental from the dead verse...what it wants? it wants to spread and replicate like a virus. where is it the dead verse ect...

>tfw Sadie likes kissing Caleb
