So far, /tv/ thinks this is one of the better shows Netflix has produced, but it's not without it's flaws. What do you think?
why are janitors deleting the threads? Whats going on here?

2nd for God Tier acting by kids
It's really good but it's not omg le greatest show to exist like plebbit keeps saying. The cgi and the bad guy suck.

Not difficult. If you can actually find people who have experience and like playing it (and get over the factor of how much of a nerd you seem like) it's pretty easy to learn.
This is the part where betas lost their shit and screamed at their TV.

I like how they portrayed Steve. I thought since this was a 80s nostalgia ride he'd turn out to be a total dick but he was probably one of the best fleshed out characters on the show.
>>72102219

>dies from horrific monster attack
>weird kid with heart of gold gets the girl in the end
it seems the writers are aware of overdone cliches and sort of half use them anyway, l suppose l'm so used to seeing horror movies just go with shit like this l just expect it most of the time. its just kinda refreshing to see it go another way
>>72102620
dreamy hair. i bet he carried a goody comb in his back pocket.
>all these people happy the girl ended up with the douchebag
C-words.
>>72102628
They wanted to make him a stereotypical jock but thought the actor didn't have the right look for it so they ended up tweaking his character. I don't think it really worked.
>>72102717

>>72103185
>They wanted to make him a stereotypical jock but thought the actor didn't have the right look for it so they ended up tweaking his character. I don't think it really worked
I think it worked out great. Steve came off as a rich, popular and attractive guy who was genuinely nice and polite for the most part but he was also used to getting his way so he was somewhat pushy at times. Him breaking Jonathan's camera was a dick move but totally understandable considering Jonathan was taking pictures of him and Nancy through his bedroom window like a total fucking creep. He does overreact when he thinks Nancy is cheating on him with Jonathan but its probably the first time in his life he has felt rejected and his friends are egging him on to do something drastic. Later he realizes his friends are assholes and goes to apologise about being suck a prick. Really well done character and you get a genuine sense of his growth throughout the show.
>>72103197
How are any of those things you listed a cliche?
>>72103418
l think its more about how it was executed
Beyond Two Souls was a piece of trash
>>72103575
they've been done before in films
especially the sling shot one in episode 8. how many times does a kid try to fight a monster with a weak weapon, and it ends up getting destroyed because of help from someone else
>>72103631
those aren't cliches you fucking twat
nancy being a crackshot despite never shooting a gun before is a cliche
>>72103631
Wait are you trying to say that Tom Hanks didn't blow up that tank with his .45?

She had sex with him first so he had her heart from the beginning.
It doesn't matter how hard you betas try, because nothing beats getting between her legs first. None of your stupid nice guy bullshit will ever outdo a good hard fucking with a big cock.
>>72103631
>they've been done before in films
Everything has been done before, a cliche is something that has been worn out. This series was hardly cliched, in fact it managed to find a way to capture the feeling of early 80 SciFi and horror so well while at the same time playing with the expectations you'd have.

Only "real" nerds played Dungeons and Dragons back then. Today it's used as nerd cred by normies and girls. What's the equivalent of Dungeons and Dragons today?
10/10 Title sequence, 5/10 show.
Doesn't do anything original and doesn't do anything that it pays tribute to very well. It is possible to have thematic and visual nods to the 80's without straight up copying shit.

Immediate contacts of 3rd kind was just like it.
So what exactly is stopping Eleven from just re-entering the real world and staying there?
If she got out now and stayed in hiding for 2-4 years, puberty + dying her hair would make her almost unrecognizable.
I get that the families of the characters would probably be surveilled for a long time if not permanently, but surely it would be better to live in the real world with strangers than in a toxic, cold, dark and damp world full of monsters?
Right?

>>72106750
>doesn't do anything original
Half of it is about a tribute to 80s good stuff, the other half is about a great horror setting and decent casting.
It does good the way ot does, I don't think it's supposed to be the "100% original kino show that will save television shows of this decade".
It's great on its own.
>>72102902
Traumatic events bond you together more than anything else
>>72107751
Hey, I just finished too, eurofriend.
Anyway, it'll be massively hyped for 2-3 weeks maybe more, until normies will catch on (most normies don't binge watch so will be a while before they watch it all + word of mouth will spread.
When it becomes critically acclaimed AND popular with the general populace, /tv/ will hate it.

Ah thank you for clearing that up I had no idea what the hell he was dropping in that thing.

>>72102798
she cucked him right?
>>72108319
From Steve's perspective he's the one who is cucked.
Although it starts quite nice, it gets more awful by the minute. The dialogues appear as if spoken by the Teletubbies, everything is repeated at least twice. Winona Ryder (who used to be wonderful!) acts like a 70 year old lunatic witch with weird gestures and wide eyes, even the rest of the cast is screaming and yelling most of the time. The 3 main kids act completely over the top, including all those movements and slang kids use TODAY, but didn't in the 80s! The Natalia Dyer story line (please give her something to eat! She looks as if she is falling apart any time!) is schmaltzy beyond compare, and contains by far the stupidest acting. What is worst, there is probably not one original thought in the whole series, it is just one big mashup from Poltergeist to E.T., the Goonies, Indiana Jones' sidekick Short Round, even Minority Report. You name any other 80s' flick, it's there. But - and this is a huge big BUT - Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) is absolutely amazing! Every gesture, every shy gaze rips your heart into pieces. She definitely deserves much better than this crap series.
Now I am only into the second episode, and just can't see why this has a rating of 9.3. But I do get that things may still pick up and blow me away like the high ratings it has! Although I doubt it, sure it reminds me of films and series from the past, but take those facts away and you are left with kids TV, with a few cheap thrills mixed in.
Now I am sure my review up to episode 2 will receive many thumbs down, but if you are an adult and measure films and series from the past against the high score of 9.3 of this so far, you can't be serious.
It is a kids show, nothing more, and borrows a story line from lots of other previous films and series, and that's it so far, and just can't see why it has this high score.
I will give this a 5, and will change it after another episode or 2, that's if I can last that long.
5 out of 10 at episode 2.
I have made it to the end of the 3rd episode, but that's it, it is just way to boring for my liking, and looks like it just borrows bits from films and series from the past. I will put this into some realistic perspective, as it sits now it has a rating sitting at that very questionable score of 9.3, let me just remind people that vote for this, the number 1 and number 2 spot of highest rated films on IMDb ever, both have a rating of 9.2! How can dribble TV like this be rated so high? Either the world has gone mad, or the ratings on here are just bogus.
Now don't get me wrong, I have seen far worse than this show, but have seen far better as well, it is glossy to look at, but it seems to be purely made for teenagers. And comparing it to classics from the past as in films and series is an insult, plain and simple.
I can only give this a 1 out of 10,
>>72108365
>autism

>>72102219
>betas can't decided if she's a whore or not anymore
Super disappointed. Target audience has to be 8-14 years old. SO many things are unexplained that need to be explained. Huge plot holes and characters doing things that make absolutely no sense... constantly. What is even worse is that it is often the adult characters who do the stupidest things. Only a young audience could ignore it. Every time there is an intense scene of suspense the screen writer does something dumb to make you say "Wtf?" I will just say it... This TV series is really really stupid. There are also some adult centered themes that feel so out of place because most of the story is shown through 4 kids. Adult redemption and revelation themes are silly when 80% of the scenes are either 4 childhood friends or a high school couple. Add in some very shitty CGI to go with it and I am done.

Yeah. And the post was obviously made by a teenager.
But, I get it. This show attempts to convey everything we want from an 80s film, but fails on the most basic level. Plainly stated, it lacks the carefree heart of 80s movies. The show is just a shallow mimic, created by people too young to have actually lived during the 80s as a child, and know that wild-eyed wonderment of seeing E.T. for the first time without any expectations.
Was this thing invincible?

I get what you're saying but you're still an elitist autist complaining that the show didn't copy ET
the girl playing Eleven is disturbingly good and believable
10 year olds should not be that good at faking emotions, at least not on demand
>>72108934
The creators have already said it's not an anthology and that if they do another it will be less like a season 2 and more like a sequel (whatever that means.
So does Eleven look like Natalie Portman to anyone else?

Fucking lame. I was hoping to see more SCP esq shit.

what will that change?
nothing
and we dont even know what kind of deal was made so chill with your contrarian critique
you are trying too hard to seem like a patrician when you dont even pay attention to detail..
>>72109163
wrong on both counts. you just sound like a baby, because i have a different viewpoint. but okay. carry on.
>>72109224
I can see it too.
>>72109188
I predict its gonna be set a year or two after when the older kids are either freshman or just about to leave for college.
Some bozo gets taken, no one believes the weird nerds until they go full lost boys on the monster
whats gonna happen is in season 2 probably the end of the first episode, mike is gonna hear El over the walkie talkie and start a mission to save her somehow from the upside down
>>72109338
Honestly I'm half hoping for an Akira type deal where Eleven keeps getting stronger and loses control of her powers so the kid has to kill her.
>>72109391
oh yeah, and will is the key to getting in there obviously
>>72109278
I'm not a "patrician" at all, nigguh.
I'm just saying it was stupid, and felt really out of place.
I like the way X-Files often did it (too often lol), where the military would just disappear all clues to anything ever having happened, leaving Mulder looking like an insane retard.
Just finished this.
It's like ET, Drive and...idk Xfiles all fucked.
Amazing show. The kids acting, BASED cop, the a e s t h e t i c and soundtrack.

Yeah I didn't feel anything for her and seems like the rest of the characters ended up forgetting about her as well
i'm kind of surprised they didn't go full 1980s and have jonathan end up with nancy instead of steve
steve was pretty cool though
>>72102219
I kept thinking he was Spider-man. Not Andrew Garfield, but just Spider-man. His quips in the first couple episodes were perfect.
>my parents are here!
>really? Where? I dont see them
>>72109639
I kind of respect them for it, that being said im almost certain he's gonna die in the next season and the other guy will have her all to himself.
>>72109550
How was she forgotten about? It was explicit shown she was dead as fuck?
>>72109682
Forgotten about by the characters, not the writers
>>72109620
Yet you keep responding.
Get fucked, you hissy little faggot.

FUCKIN THIS
>Will gets kidnapped first
>5 other people kidnapped after
>Survives weeks without food or water breathing toxic air
>Despite being the youngest with the weakest immune system he is the only survivor
ITS NOT WILL ITS AN IMPOSTER
We really love Stranger Things bros
>>72109719
>Yet you keep responding.
damn you sure told me... by responding about me responding
i was intellectually bested by a retard, damn a whole new low...
>>72109775
I could definitely get behind this theory, that Will is dead and is actually a monster in disguise or something
>>72109775
What if this time slugs fall out instead of cotton eh?
>Dat Mike x 11
Just finished watching it. Loved it, ending was a little ehh but I still loved it. I'd get it like a 10/10, maybe 9/10 if I wanna be really critical of it. Since it seems like this series was about the results of MKULTRA I'm curious if the next season (if there is a next season, I heard some stuff about there being another) will be about like another conspiracy thing.
so what are the main influences of this?
so far i can think of - E.T, the goonies, a bit of nightmare on elm street with the whole different world thing, and a bit of stand by me
any others?
>>72109907
its not an anthology
read the thread before posting, newfriend
>>72105927
go/stay refers to him hiding while he can hear the monster walking around. if he goes he could get caught, if he stays he will eventually get caught
>>72109907
netflix is pretty good about second seasons for their shows, I would be absolutely shocked if its not renewed.
>>72109928
The thing?
>>72109928
hp lovecraft, stephan king, and steven speilberg
>>72109928
>>72109973
jj abrams and super 8
>>72109950
this the correct interpretation, not what that other anon said
>>72109936
S-Sorry I didn't wanna read before finishing the series.
>>72109966
i saw the poster in the kids basement but i didn't get any the thing vibes from the show
when the cop and will's mother were in the upside down world they saw this egg sac thing that seemed like a referenced to alien too
>>72110002
no you pleb
>>72109953
They never release the specific contracts but almost every show they do gets enough views to make another season profitable just by reputation and the huge viewerbase that stays consistent way longer than dvd
so what happened to the monster those guys burnt to death inside their house. why did it come back again. where there multiple monsters?
>>72110032
Yes, I felt that one as well
>>72110032
That and the whole tube going down your throat while you're tied to a wall by tentacles thing
>>72110088
No, it just seems the monster is immune to physical harm. Still a great attempt by the young teens though.
>>72107212
>it would be better to live in the real world with strangers than in a toxic, cold, dark and damp world full of monsters?
whoa what
how did you interpret that she is stuck in the shadow realm?
was it even confirmed there were multiple monsters?
>>72110088
no, only one. i just assumed it went back to the upside down world. the blood trail the cop and will's mother were following was probably the things leg after it got messed up in the bear trap
>>72109814
You keep complaining about being a retard for responding.
You do this through response.
just
>>72110028
>i just finished watching
>let me shit post itt about this before reading the thread seeing if what im about to say/ask has already been said/answered like 50,000 times already
dont be cancer
>>72107381
>>72108095
For some reason I thought she ended up turning into a monster like the one she killed.

ET, Stand By Me - Spielberg and S. King in general
Akira. Alien. Goonies. Poltergeist.
It's very 80's
>>72108990
CIA?
>>72110168
shut up fag stop responding you arent making a point LOL
how did they not immediately guess the missing kid was in the shadow realm when 11 flipped over the board? my guesses were outer space (black and empty), hiding somewhere underground (under the board), or in the shadow realm. they were a bunch of dungeons and dragons playing nerdling smart kids who just met a girl with supernatural powers. they should have guessed it sooner
>>72109928
ET+AKIRA
>>72110202
yea that was the one i was missing, poltergeist.
i cracked up during the bike scene when they were getting chased by the white vans. i was expect her to do the whole E.T thing with them riding their bikes in the air, but i like how instead they just got her to flip the fucking van over their heads and it's just a violent crash
>>72110209
NO SURBIBOR
>>72110201
jj is a hack and steals from other peoples works or just plain shits on other peoples works
he would be considered an influence on this show since all he did was copy other peoples style/themes and panders to the worst kind of viewer
just take the time to think about how untalented jj really is
>>72101760
I was honestly expecting something amazing but it's honestly super mediocre writing-wise.
>>72108450
can you give any examples? there were a lot of typical "wow if they took 10 seconds to tell that other character everything they knew there wouldnt be any drama at all" moments but i didnt catch any plot holes
>>72108778
how did they cover up all the dead agents in the school? they had a newspaper clipping of will coming back but there wasnt any hinting towards a larger cover up
>>72110337
the only plot hole i can think of is how will survived in a "toxic" environment for that long without food or water. he wasn't all alien'd up with that shit down his throat the whole time, he was fucking with the lights for a while
>>72109167
All girls are experts at faking emotions at a young age. Boys have physical strength, girls have manipulation, world keeps turning.
>he wouldnt******** be considered an influence on this show since all he did was copy other peoples style/themes and panders to the worst kind of viewer
meant to say he couldnt and wouldnt be considered an influence since he hasnt come up with any of these themes or aesthetics like HP or King or Speilberg did
>>72110317
fuck i meant to link this>>72110461
>>72110032
the teacher guy was watching the thing movie with the asian girl too
did anyone else find winona really underwhelming? i've always thought she was a decent actress, but she was pretty bad in this. that's kind of a tough role to really sell though, she's basically in hysterics for 95% of the show
>>72110396
He stayed a week, right?
He hid in the house until his mother told him to run. So he was fine in the first days. Then just endured for the rest of the days, but was almost dying until he became an incubator for the alien, which probably actually saved him, since the "tentacle" certainly provided nutrition and oxygen for him as long as Will's living body was necessary.
9.5/10
>>72106306
Warhammer 40k
Normies wouldn't spend that much for pussy
Especially the kind of pussy 40k attracts
>>72110461
You were right the first time. This JJ would be an influence because all he does is copy shit, and that is all this show did
>>72110032
The bodies in the wall covered in alien semen was an alien reference I believe, also, the kid had a tube inside his mouth.
>>72110396
The first half 4 of the season took place over 3 days and the last thing he did before he was captured was reveal himself to his mom through the spooky pink window in ep4. He was probably in tubed up by that point or shortly after
>>72110572
this show felt more like a direct copy of 80s movies rather than copying a copy of 80s movies
>>72102219
Is that a younger Anakin?
Did anybody else think the season was gonna end with El living with Hopper? I though it would be perfectly fitting after him losing his daughter and everything.

No senpai? He was hiding in his fort until RIGHT before his mom and the sheriff went through the portal.
>>72110572
they arent copy from jj
they arent blatently copying like jj
they use some tired cliches and tweaked them
it wasnt like a direct plagerized abrams version of some shit or a deformed abrams version of something
stranger things would need to do some obvious "homage" type shit to reach JJ abrams levels of faggotry
>>72110653
I did too
>>72110702
nit picking tbqh. They literally pulled a JJ abrams
>>72110699
Oh yea my b disregard that I'm a huge faggot
>>72110155
Well we know the monster hatched out of the egg Hopper and Joyce saw. Plus the slug things, and the snake thing that was in Will's throat. I'm guessing it was using will as an incubator to hatch more monsters.
>>72110766
nah not really
>>72110784
>hatched out of the egg
what the fuck are you even talking about?
>>72110766
*raises paw*
Uhhh...you belong on reddit with this shit opinion of yours
where did the monster go to eat before 11 connected him to our dimension? if theres a sequel, i bet thatll be part of it
>>72110799
yeah really
