Stranger Things : Is Stranger Things really that good?

Is Stranger Things really that good?

I’ve avoided watching it but I think I’m finally going to crack and see it.

Hey Diddler, Diddler….the cat and the fiddler LOL

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

Yes, it massively oscillates in quality, but it's horribly endearing and always entertaining.

One of my favourite shows in recent years. The retro vibe is awesome

Thank you for talking to me

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

I love it. And the good thing is it's only 8 episodes per season so not too long to get through 4 seasons.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

This season has some long episodes, especially the 2 ½ hr finale, but it doesn't feel long.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

Yeah the last three or so episodes of season 4 was an hour and a half. They went by quickly though.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

Depends on the kind of content you like. I'm a fan of 80's Spielberg and Stephen King. This show blends a lot of their styles as well as other 80's stuff. Also draws a lot from D&D, and thebkids play it. It's derivative, but at the same time original in the way it's put together.

There are some lapses in the writing. It can get predictable, and there are some arcs that bore a lot of the fans, but unlike something like Walking Dead, you don't have entire episodes dedicated to something you don't like… well, except for that one in season 2 I liked but everyone seemed to hate. But good thing with Netflix, you don't have to wait a week.

I think the show gets better as it goes along. I found the beginning of season 1 to be sorta slow, but most fans tend to love 1, didn't care for aspeects of 2, 3 is either well loved or hated, and this season seems to be the most loved.

You never responded to my topic about sunny day real Estate

lol you don't know your emo at all

Thank you for talking to me

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

I didn't see it. Love modwest emo amd math rock but not as much as 80's emotive hardcore.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

This is the best early emo song ever



Thank you for talking to me

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

Not that early, but at least you're not calling scene kid emo elder emo. I try not to gatekeep, but that bugs the shit out of me.

One of my top 3 from them.

Would you consider Jawbreaker emo? I never know where to place them.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

No, that's straight up punk.

Good tho. Do you like sham 69?



Thank you for talking to me

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

They're okay. I prefer Rancid's version of If the Kids are United.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

Also I saw a topic where you were sticking up for dashboard confessional. Lol this song was awesome



Thank you for talking to me

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

I dunno. It seems too wholesome of a horror series for my tastes.


And I tried watching the first episode but it creeper me out cuz in the episode that hybrid human (forgot her name) used her powers on a desk fan that blades were making noises. It reminded me of how my fan was making noises like that and how it annoyed me too.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

It’s the best show I will never watch

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

Only the first season was good. Then it became a bandwagon show with a bunch of posers watching it. If you watch the entire first season, you will see how pointless it was to make anything beyond season one.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

Exactly!

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

It started off reasonably well, with a nice Stephen King vibe, but each season has gotten progressively worse.

The worst thing that ever happened to the movies was when some pretentious twit decided they should be art.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

Not really.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

We'll have to agree to disagree.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

If you enjoy 1980s retro, it makes up for a lot of the meh parts.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

What's meh about it?

ᴳᵒ ᶠᵘᶜᵏ ʸᵒᵘʳˢᵉˡᶠ

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

Everything.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

I think some of the side stories are meh. I'm not really a fan that The Upside Down is controlled by a former orderly

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

That's not exactly the case. Like saying Freddy Krueger just works at a power plant.
Adding the human element makes it more personal and adds motivation.

It's called a discussion or a friendly debate. Not saying he's wrongm they're opinions. Disagreeing on films and shows is a thing

Come on now, cut The Foog a break.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

You’re too damn old (and gay) for that. Isn’t there Golden Girls reruns somewhere?

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

Does your mother know she raised an idiot?

Does your mother know you’ve been sucking off AJ?

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

Brilliant comeback, Spanky.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

Fck off loser. Time to put this loser sock away.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

And another brilliant riposte. Your mother must be so proud - assuming she even admits you're hers.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

do either of u actually have a mother? season 1 was good. season 2 was ok. then it jumped the shark.

Re: Is Stranger Things really that good?

I had one, but she passed away in 2009, not that that's of any concern to a fine, upstanding Dunning-Kruger poster child such as yourself.
