same show with scenes like this, mind u

thank u for reminding me of why this is one of my favorite shows of all time, vol 2 made me deeply forget that

no exactly. it’s just so upsetting because volume 2 should’ve been HUGE. i’m just so underwhelmed. i hope they pull through for the finale but it’s making me a little nervous after watching volume 2.

literally. anyways time to start the s1 and 2 rewatch

God nothing will ever beat the grittiness of season one. It’s actually heartbreaking how everything has turned into emotionless shit

everyone's having a eureka moment "i know how to get to Vecna" "i know how to connect Will to the hivemind" "i know how to find Dustin and the others" 🥀🥀

Season 1 and most of 2 was def where it peaked

We went from this to Marvel writing 😭

no like genuinely what actually happened

Oh how I miss the original color grading and cinematography style this show had. Back when the show still had that small town vibe. It didn’t feel over-produced, it felt genuine.

the writing in 1 and honestly 2 is miles ahead of where they are at now

It used to look like a show that took in the actual 80’s not what people thought the 80’s was.

back when winona and charlie still had the light behind their eyes

Now she doesn't even remember Jonathan exists

when they felt like real people 😭😭😭

do you see the difference it makes to not shoot on a four-wall blue screen sets & just have a colour grading that suits the damn theme of the show

what happend to the s1 writers?

we rly didn’t know how good we had it

Why did they change the feel of the show from this to whatever fucking Netflix polished slop it is now

Look at the color and mood of it, cinema. The show got too big, too bright, and too large scale

Season 1 is the best one by far, change my mind

god it was so good 😢

This compared to season 5 feels like i'm watching an MCU movie now

Back when Jonathan and Joyce had some form of relationship. Now they don’t even acknowledge each other

I truly miss this writing from earlier seasons so much

Those last few episodes were pure garbage. Sad to see.

Back when the show actually took place in the 80s and not whatever marvel movie slop universe season 5 is happening in.

The show ended in Season 2, or even Season 1 tbh. Everything after that was just milking the IP for all they can. It was only supposed to be one season to begin with.

ughhhh Charlie is an amazing actor they did him dirty

this used to be a real show man, season 1 is still incredible i stand by it

s3 was the last time it was decent i hate to say it

Stranger Things should have been an anthology. The Hawkins story should have ended at S1. It would be up there with True Detective S1 if they did that. Instead, we got this mess.

The duffer brothers were body snatched mid season 2

this shit all went downhill when they fucked up jonathans fucking character AND TIL THIS DAY IT PISSES ME OFF.

Literally wat happened to the writing of this show 😭😭it used to be so good

Back when Joyce was a real character

Gods the writing was strong back then
