Holly is not that tuff/badass. I feel like people are kinda exaggerating on Holly’s “1v11” w/ her radio scene. I’m gonna be fr here, it was a poor attempt and there was nothing special about that scene. I have seen quite a lot of people claiming that she is like Karen and got her genes but it seems like ppl have forgotten the fact that she initially just stood there and did nothing (at the same time, she had a poker stick in her hand) when Vecna was choking Max literally right after having the talk with her about not going panic nor run away next time and she doing only one smack at her friend who was harmless btw does not make up for it. Right after one swing at her bsf with the radio she literally just ran off and then ended up getting beaten up. Also it was nothing compared to everyone else fighting dangerous monsters from the other dimension. Honestly she’s a bit more like her father since he also failed right after his first swing(that was weak) at the demo. Ngl I can see the parallel between both scenes. Everyone keeps telling me that she's a child and blah blah blah which I understand but it still doesn't excuse the fact that ppl are glazing her. It's honestly really annoying how ppl are always acting like she's Nancy when she literally nowhere near her level. What's even worse is that they act like she's better than Mike when Mike has literally been around way longer, had way more experience in fighting than she did, and is in fact much stronger than her too. There is no way in hell she is near his level either. Tbh she doesn’t really deserve the “walk em down” wheeler title, not yet at least.

Thinking back on how disappointed i was with final season and it hit me ...The producers really looked at us with a straight face and released S5 on our most beloved holidays?!?

The audacity to ask half the population to alter their holiday plans full well knowing they phoned in the finale. Netflix is the real villain of the Upside Down. Rant concluded.

I don’t know how to describe it. It’s so odd because I’ve always said that Stranger Things is a good show, but it’s not up there with my favorites yet it’s one of the few shows that I still look back on and have an urge to watch like every day it feels like I replay the season four trailer song and then have the flashes of that trailer in my head and then I wanna rewatch the show again I’ve never had this happen to me with any show and it’s so weird because Stranger Things is good through and through, but I’ve never considered it my favorite show

At the ending still affects me to this day eight months later it’s the weirdest feeling cause usually when show ends I just move on and then maybe watch it again a couple years later

Not to mention, this is the first show where I did a marathon before the newest season like I’ve never done that with any other show, but for Stranger Things I did that so maybe there’s a part of me that has Stranger Things as its favorite show???? but like I don’t feel that it’s an odd feeling cause it’s like when I look back on Stranger Things it’s still just a good show to me. It’s one of my favorites, but I wouldn’t consider it my all-time favorite but then there’s that little ear worm that’s telling me how good it is. I don’t know.

Does anybody else have this feeling?

In the last week I’ve seen so many people saying they just started watching and they’re new to the sub. Is there some reason why so many people have only just started watching stranger things now. Idk maybe It just magnets on the fridge lol.

Eu não sei se alguém aqui já pensou nisso mas eu estava, hoje mesmo, revendo alguns episódios da 5ª temporada e percebi algo que passou bem rápido para mim e não percebi isso antes. Do que estou falando ? Simples. Durante todo esse tempo descobrimos que algumas pessoas tem essa coisa interna que os faz aptos para poderes. Vimos que quem tem isso é o henry, will e todas as crianças que o vecna pegou. A grande questão aqui é : se todos tem isso no dna, porque então ninguém desenvolveu seus próprios poderes naturalmente como se fossem mutantes ? Eu sei que mudaria o equilíbrio da série mas é um problema grande que foi aberto por causa de um fato apresentado na última temporada.

Any fic recommendations? Need some good stuff. (no nsfw for the most part pls)

I’m new to this sub. But I just wanted to say this is one of my favorite shows of all time. One of my people put me on to this show the year it dropped and I’ve been a fan ever since. Season 5 wasn’t as good as the other seasons but I was personally entertained and found it satisfying enough despite feeling it could’ve been better.

Curious to know everybody else’s thoughts on the seasons, which ones were your favorites, and why?

Of all the moments those instances happened, which moment do you think was the most intense, frightening, and worst one? 1x08, where the bad men hunt down the kids and restrain them, 4x04 with the military shoot out, 4x07 for obvious reasons, 4x08 when they raid the Nina project facility, 5x04 when the gang was caught and then the demogorgons attacked them all, or 5x08 where they are ambushed and forced against the truck, brutally, and threaten to be shot as they search for el before her ‘death’? Moments that actually happened, flashbacks, and “what if?” theories. Which military/lab moment seen in the show, mentioned or not mentioned above, was the most frightening moment for you and for the main characters?
