The detailing on this is crazy .

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!

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!

I hate how people compare stranger things to other final seasons like game of thrones and Dexter but the difference is none of their fans actually like their final seasons we actually liked stranger things finale season (or didn’t think it was super bad) but some stranger things are just haters in general or delusional asf like who told them their was going to be an secret episode do they know how filming works just because a show has deleted scenes doesn’t mean it’s about 4 hours of footage left.

Some brilliant and unique fight sequences in this episode, it was a really enjoyable watch this one.

Now we're really done with episodes. It's been a fun ride, thanks so much to everyone who commented and took some time to bring some positivity to stranger things.

I'll be back in a few days to make some character discussion posts, but until then, now its your turn. Say something nice. It could be anything from one small scene or character to almost everything in the episode.

See you in a few days!

I just like them for no reason! Epically Dart way back in season 2!

I love the fight on the road, and Powell and Callahan making an appearance was delightful.

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 the finale (and final episode post)

My god! It’s been too long since we’ve seen her out in public. I also can’t wait to see her Kelly Clarkson interview tomorrow! So psyched!!!

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

They want consideration in all categories including Best Outstanding Drama

I love Dustin in the food mart and them gearing up to fight

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 9

LUMAX GLOVE MOMENT LUMAX GLOVE MOMENT LUMAX GLOVE MOMENT LUMAX GLOVE MOMENT

That about sums this 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 8

This is just my honest opinion based on how I truly feel about them. Please only spread positivity here. There will be no hate comments allowed. Thank you!

Specifically in S5. I love it's "scorched sky", the clouds, and god... the lightning. I am a sucker of lightning and The Abyss perfectly nails it - distant flashes within the clouds specifically.

Long yappy breakdown ahead:

Something i LOVE about The Abyss is it's familiar-yet-alien terrain. It adds a special sense of wrongness due to it's familiarity. Mars, Titan, and Venus all invoke that same feeling in me. So different and alien, but so, so scarily familiar. Specifically, where the Pain Tree is located in The Abyss looks like especially familiar; just like Nevada. I don't know if that's intentional or just a cool coincidence, but it's cool regardless.

Now..

The way i view it, The Abyss (and the Upside Down) are both a reflection of the raw, brutal processes of life - that's why EVERY inter-dimensional aspect (Gates, the Vines, the inter-dimensional membrane, the Wall of the Upside Down, etc) are all so distinctively grotesque and alive. They all specifically resemble the inner workings of our bodies; our organs, flesh, etc. It's life, species, humanity, but without the intricacy, agency or specialty that makes Earth-life beautiful. Independence, agency, free-thinking, autonomy, fashion, society, music, love - you get the gist. None of it exists in Dimension X - It is all stolen from you. That's what makes it a barren, harsh wasteland.

The dimension/planet (if the landscape we see is just a planet in a universe akin to ours) itself is, essentially, one giant body. Consuming and growing. The Mind Flayer is the brain and everything else it connects to it's Hivemind is it's Body. That's why it desires to grow and spread.

It seems like everything beyond our dimension is similar to The Abyss - brutal, raw, and unapologetic life. The Hellscape, the Upside Down, The Abyss; they all share that similarity that they're so horrifically unforgiving and raw.

But our dimension, the Rightside Up, and our planet both defy that inter-dimensional formula everything else seems to follow of being brutal and raw. Earth is full of life and love. So many different species (and people) that are beautiful because they are different, so many unique ecosystems, biomes, climates, all localized on Earth.

That's what makes The Abyss so cool - It's life without the love or autonomy that makes Earth so beautiful. They're one of the same, but with that one detail changed; in one you're free and independent, in the other your autonomy and individuality is forcefully stolen from you to aid a singular 'ruler' that wants you to serve as it's Body to control and spread.

I know it's a bit of a controversial design because people think "If cold why sunny desert????" but... I mean, if that's really the limit of your thinking and all you can conjure up, i don't think the design is the problem lol.

Mars is a sandy desert VERY reminiscent to those on Earth and yet it's cold. Saturn's moon Titan is similar; sandy, rocky desert but has a thick, hazy atmosphere and is freezing.

I also love the Pain Tree. There's something about gigantic, 'alive' structures that are just so cool. Subnautica 2 has something similar and i get so giddy thinking about it lmfao.

I'm sorry if i repeat myself a bit in this post lol
