Stranger things character discussion day 3: Dustin Henderson

Stranger things character discussion day 3: Dustin Henderson

My favourite character. Has been since I first saw s1, he's a legend. Hilarious, has awesome friendships with like half the cast. My favourite for him is s3, but I honestly could have said any of them. But I'd especially like to talk about his arc in s5, he was certainly controversial but I loved it, he emulated Eddie with a very Dustin twist and his fight and subsequent makeup with Steve were both brilliant scenes.

Now it's your turn. What do you think of Dustin? Let me know down below. Be civil towards others and try to keep it positive (we're all in this sub cause we want more positivity from the fandom after all)

See you tomorrow to talk about Lucas Sinclair!

Stranger things character discussion post day 2: Mike Wheeler

I love Mike. He's a flawed character and that's why I love him. He sucks at communication, but that's a part of his character. I think his best season is s1, but I could really make a case for s5. Mike also has some of the most emotional moments for me, like the parallel scenes in s1 and s3 where he hugs his mother, the 'stupid disgusting liar' moment in s2, his speech to El in 4 and 'please don't leave me El' in 5.

Now its your turn. What do you think of Mike? Let me know down below, keep it civil, don't be too negative (we're looking for positivity in this sub after all)

See you tomorrow for Dustin Henderson!

Stranger things character discussion post day 1: Eleven

Going forth, I'm going to post discussions about most of the characters in stranger things ranging from Eleven to Delightful Derek to Benny.

We'll start though with our superhero. She's a top 5 character for me, I think her best season is s3 (closely followed by s1). I love her friendship with Max, I love her relationship with Mike, and her father-daughter relationship with Hopper. Every seen where her nose bleeds and she used her powers gives me chills.

Now it's your turn. What do you think about Eleven? Keep it civil down below - everyone is entitled to their own opinions, just because you disagree doesn't mean you have the right to call anybody names. Try to keep it positive, we are on a praise sub here, we seek to enjoy stranger things without any of the constant negativity or hate.

See you tomorrow to talk about Mike Wheeler!

Heres my ranking of where each character peaked

The tier they're in shows the episode that I think was this characters best. I mostly did characters credited as main cast for at least one of the series, but I decided to add Ted in as well.

I would also like to shout out flea and the acrobat for Hopper and sorcerer for Robin as I spent nearly ten minutes deliberating over which episode was the best for them

Say something nice about tales from 85 s1 e3: Evolution

I love the opening fight scene and Will finally getting his moment to shine also El telling Mrs Baxter "school is at home" is just so sweet.

Now it's your turn. Say something nice. It could be anything from one small scene or character to almost everything in the episode.

Don't like it, don't comment. Don't know enough, don't comment, the show only came out a couple weeks ago don't feel pressured.

Say something nice about tales from 85 s1 e2: Bad Harvest

Love the stuff at the festival with Mike and El and the stuff at McCorkle farm with Lucas and Max. I knew this show was gonna be good after this episode.

Now it's your turn. Say something nice. It could be anything from one small scene or character to almost everything in the episode.

See you tomorrow for episode 3

u/Ok-Minute3743 — 15 days ago

I love the snowball fight and El trying to ride a bike. Seeing the kids just get to be kids is so fun!

Now it's your turn. Say something nice. It could be anything from one small scene or character to almost everything in the episode.

And remember, if you don't have anything nice to say or don't remember this episode enough (it did come out a month ago, I'm struggling to remember them all), then don't comment

See you tomorrow for episode 2

u/Ok-Minute3743 — 16 days ago

Wow. What an episode. I love it, from Holly standing up to Henry, to Derek telling him to "suck my fat one", to Murray throwing the bomb, to Akers being forced to shoot himself to the fight with the mindflayer and Vecna, to the "I'm not afraid anymore" moment, to "you f***ed with the wrong family", to purple rain, to the entire last 30 minutes being utter perfection.

I love this episode, and I'm tired of pretending I think it's anything less than a 10/10.

Now it's your turn. Say something nice. It could be anything from one small scene or character to almost everything in the episode.

The main show is over. Thanks so much to everyone who commented. It’s been a lot of fun. But, somebody gave me the idea to do tales from 85, which I will begin tomorrow. Of course I understand that most people haven't rewatched it as much as the main show and some people even haven't watched it, so if you don't want to comment or don't feel you know enough in each episode, then don't feel the need to comment.

I was thinking about doing some posts appreciating each major and supporting character after tales. Let me know if you'd be interested in something like that.

Other than that, see you tomorrow for tales from 85.

u/Ok-Minute3743 — 17 days ago

Controversially, I love this one. Lumax reunion is a top 2 scene imo, Will's coming out scene always makes me cry when he says "it just felt so real, it felt so real" and then the scene where they all say "you're never gonna lose me". I also love the planning scene and Max's tour of the WSQK is another really fun scene.

Now it's your turn, say something nice. It could be anything from one small scene or character to almost everything in the episode. But, please if you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all, you're not forced to comment

See you tomorrow for the finale

u/Ok-Minute3743 — 18 days ago

I love the hospital scene and the scene where Max and Holly escape Camazotz is another favourite of mine (yes, even the "podcast episode")

Now it's your turn. Say something nice. It could be anything from one small scene or character to almost everything in the episode.

See you tomorrow for episode 7

u/Ok-Minute3743 — 19 days ago

Obviously, the whole "run" moment is epic, but I really like seeing all the aftermath of sorcerer in this one from everyone reacting to Will's powers to El's anger at Hopper for attempting to blow himself up.

Now it's your turn. Say something nice. It could be anything from one small scene or character to almost everything in the episode.

See you tomorrow for episode 6

u/Ok-Minute3743 — 20 days ago

I mean, it's pretty obvious for this one, the whole MacZ battle and then Will getting powers is just a peak scene. Top 5 in the show definitely.

Now it's your turn. Say something nice. It could be anything from one small scene or character to almost everything in the episode.

See you tomorrow for episode 5

u/Ok-Minute3743 — 21 days ago

The turnbow trap was so fun to watch them set up and do, and Max's return had me screaming.

Now it's your turn. Say something nice. It could be anything from one small scene or character to almost everything in the episode.

See you tomorrow for episode 4
