One reason for Millie talking over people is that she's deaf in one ear. I remember in an interview she said that sometimes she really didn't hear her co-stars. Knowing that, it's even more wild hating on her

[@kutjegodverdomme]

Also, looking at the clips you jsut showed, reminded me that no one told the boys they were too loud or speaking over others. Millie was clearly the same as them, copying their behaviour and being "boyish" and loud as we all are as kids and especially when around a lot of boys. But SHE was the only one to receive backlash. It sounds to me like people were just annoyed seeing a young girl after that way, instead of being quiet and humble.

Stranger things wasn’t too good after season 1

[@annabethchase1966]

i actually really dont like hopper and joyce together. their friendship was really nice and wholesome before, and i resent the notion that media puts out there that a man and a woman on screen together MUST be in a relationship. it’s stupid and getting more and more annoying as i see it happen in nearly every show

[@blastypie]

I agree with this. A few years ago I thought they were cute, but the more I thought about it I preferred them as friends. They don’t rlly have chemistry romantically I think? It just felt kinda forced in s4

[@islasullivan3463]

@annabethchase Yeah I was on the fence about their relationship and then season 3 happened and Hopper was whining about how she wasn’t over her Bob, who died a year ago, and how she needs to move on. And only because he has feelings for her. Like sorry that her grief is not working on your preferred timeline Hopper. I thought that him having experienced a huge loss would make him more sympathetic to her grieving. Also he just does not seem to even consider that maybe it’s not just the grief but that she doesn’t feel the same way about him. And Hopper already had a great death at the end of the season and bringing him back was just bad writing.

[@jr1zg7kt3g]

i also agree with this but mostly because Hopper should be with ME

[@willowwatson4130]

I also feel like every season they reboot Hopper's character. He starts all tough and angry then by the end learns love is the true strength. But then next season he's back to angry Hopper and has to learn the same lesson again.

[@wolfwatch9731]

if you're asking if 5 seasons was in the cards from the VERY beginning - no. season one was supposed to be standalone, with the duffer brothers potentially interested in making more seasons as part of an anthology series (each season following new characters with a new story). however, after it was decided that they would be following the same characters, i think (?) the plan was either four or five seasons, meaning that season five being the final season is on track. though if you ask me i don't think they knew where they were going with those four or five seasons :-/. some elements to be sure but other things feel very "came up with in between seasons in response to fan reception". edit - i want to give my two cents on the ronance ship, as a lesbian: i don't like it :-(. not only do i simply not see it, personally, but also it feels very. uh. "this female character that 'gets in the way' of my gay ship is a lesbian", if you get me, as well as "pair the canonical lesbian with the first girl she interacts with regardless of chemistry".

[@mr.bingusthecat]

i feel like i might be the only person who would have preferred this specific story ending on season 1. it would have been cool to make seasons about different characters in completely different stories but once again, i think i’m in the minority for that lol

[@wolfwatch9731]

@@mr.bingusthecat yea tbh. while i didn’t always think this way i think it would have been better to leave it at s1. or even s2. s1 was simply as close to perfect as a show could get.

[@wolfwatch9731]

@ that’s just not true lmao. it was pitched as a stand-alone, with potential for an anthology series, and pre-release hype + obviously its huge success post release finalized the decision to create a singular multi-season story hint: just because showrunners (or any writers, generally) SAY they’ve had everything planned from day one, doesn’t mean it’s true ;-)

Not to mention how difficult it would be to direct an actual blind person who can't fight. Can you imagine if Daredevil was played by an actual blind person. I think casting a blind person in a role of someone who can't see is fine, but toph and Daredevil can see. The logistics of that would make it very difficult on the production

Also for such a physically demanding role as toph (Or Daredevil) it doesn't make sense to cast an actual blind person because the role would require them to actually see, given that they can both see.

during bylers hype, it got really crazy. there was this whole controversy with s4 scripts bc the fandom rlly wanted to pick apart the subtext of byler’s interaction. so there was this one guy who would claim to have the scripts and charge for them to like “fundraise” to get access to them. but when it came to a particular script, it took a really long time to come out. like multiple times the release was pushed back. and then the fandom started to get rlly suspicious as to if he actually even had access to them or if he was writing them himself. and it turns out, he was. he was writing the scripts and posing as if they were official scripts. it literally took the official stranger things account to come out with the official scripts to reveal that the other guy was duping and fucking conning everyone. it was INSANE. the byler script controversy was a moment in time 😭. i remember being there for all of it. the hashtags were literally trending worldwide. byler was the last time i’ve had so much fun in a fandom just dissecting how byler interacted and how it could possibly be canon. (obvi i don’t really trust the duffle bags to give the fandom what they want but here’s to hoping bc i think it would make a lot of sense. regardless of if they don’t end up together, i hope mileven isn’t endgame bc eleven really needs to figure out who she is without mike.)

Hey Amanda! I haven’t seen Stranger Things but I love your channel, and I can answer your question about Mormons haha. I’m not Mormon/LDS, but I grew up in Utah, so I’ve picked some stuff up. There are so many Mormons in Utah for causation reasons - basically, when the religion was founded in the 1800s, they faced a lot of religious persecution (mainly because of their practice of polygamy and because so many of them would move to a town that the locals were afraid of them essentially taking over the government). The founder, Joseph Smith, was actually killed in prison before they got to Utah. The rest of the Mormons decided to settle near the Great Salt Lake, which I believe wasn’t part of the United States at the time. They named their territory Deseret, but when it was purchased by the US and made a state, the government shrank the size of the territory significantly and renamed it Utah after the Ute Tribe. Now something like 60% or more of Utah is Mormon, and Mormon culture has a huge influence on the state. Polygamy was obviously outlawed, but the tradition of having lots of kids is still very much a thing here, and there’s a huge emphasis on traditional family culture. Most Mormons aren’t as crazy as the people in TSLoMW though hahaha

[@FifthAveAtFive]

omg this brought back crazy memories. i was 13 when the movie it came out and id already watched stranger things at that point. both fandoms were so closely linked during that time, it seemed like everyone watched both stranger things and it but of course after i watched them i had to be a weird little freak about it lol. the drew and enya mention actually scared me, it was like you crawled into my brain and pulled out my early teenage memories. drew’s no enya week video is still one of my favourite videos on this website

The stuff about Millie and that guy is so awful.. What the hell is wrong with that guy saying that stuff on live.. it's disgusting.. Poor Millie.

[@loudensuede]

as someone who coincidentally is obsessed with one of the minor (within the fandom) characters' actors career outside of stranger things this is a very apt autopsy to help me decipher what the hell happened before i got here

I hate it when I really enjoy a show and then a horrible final season ruins everything. I’m looking at you Riverdale.

The Steve and Jonathan elevator video always makes me crack tf up

13:02 a HUGE portion of utah is mormons because they had faced persecution from other states where polygamy was extremely looked down upon, or because there wasn't an already established group of colinizers. in the 1800s, the future president of the mormon church and governer of utah, moved a large community of mormons to what will become utah in the future, because of tensions from other illinois residents. they chose utah because there was a lower population than other states and territories nearby. (besides the indigenous tribes that had been there for THOUSANDS of years already)
