Day 3 of rewatching all of stranger things previous seasons to prepare for season 5 :) the Marvel-ification of Stranger Things begins here, but i can still admit it was an entertaining watch! silly notes time!!: • the evil Russians plot is kinda lazy. i mean it’s one of the most overused tropes in american media couldn’t they come up with something more interesting? • Mike and El are too clingy i get why Hopper wants them apart but i wouldn’t go as far as some people and say it’s an unhealthy obsession • netflix gave them way too much budget. • those assholes at Nancy's job make my blood boil every time they’re on screen • Hopper’s evil smirk after breaking up El and Mike is taking me out he’s so proud of himself lmao • Dustin’s and Steve’s friendship is the cutest thing ever! • Max and El’s duo is really fun we should’ve gotten more time with them • poor Will he just wanted to play D&D • Joyce is the only person with critical thinking in this town • Hopper and Joyce are RUTHLESS when working together i love this side of their dynamic • Nancy’s scenes this season are really good, the argument with Jonathan and the discussion with her mom all showcase her character struggles so well • “you can’t spell America without Erica” damn right • they really tried (and FAILED) to recreate Bob’s character with this alxie huh • El’s first fight with Billy was EPIC, i just think small-scale fights are always better than the huge ones • Robin’s coming-out scene is so beautiful • Hopper and Joyce's bickering got old real quick • they overdid the comedy. by the end of the season i was sick of all the quips thrown at us every 2 minutes • Suzy and Dustin singing together was cute and all but definitely ruined the momentum • controversial take: Hopper should’ve stayed dead, that ending scene was perfect there was no need to undo it favorite characters this season: Robin Dustin Max / El Steve
