Steve came to see Lucas play. Proving once again that he is the best parent these kids have.

[@sadiesimp2215]

29:10 i mean you can't blame will for not stepping up to eleven's bullies. he is probably the one who has faced the worst of the bullying out of all the characters, and he isn't the sort of character to stand up for himself and doesn't have much confidence. you can tell by how nervous he gets when shit starts happening in school with el and angela, he probably wants to help but he probably just physically restrains himself because of how much harsh bullying he faced in the past. it's like a defensive mechanism. i don't think will could do much to help el and will doesn't have the courage anyways.

[@BOoodaAh]

After the kind of shit will has been through in the upside down....he should be the bully not get bullied. 🤣

[@mcigloo]

Seeing Will, throughout the season, sit back and watch Elle get bullied while doing nothing to help her bothered the heck out of me. I read all your reasons for why you think he does nothing to help and I get what you're saying but it still really really really saddens me that even the people in Elle's own house doesn't do anything to stick up for her.

[@sadiesimp2215]

@@mcigloo yeah that was sad for me to watch too, but it's clear that Will obviously cares for El in any scenes they have with each other. You have really got to sympathise for Will though, he knows he's helpless and you can see him in tears when El's presentation goes wrong. He doesn't have any power to stop it and I guess even if he did at moments like that, especially after going through the bullying he went through, it's not that selfish to want to avoid it, or if your body freezes up like that. He went through awful bullying, even after his 'death' and Will probably doesn't know what to do to help El. But he clearly cares for her in a lot of scenes, so it's definitely not in selfish manner. I wouldn't know what to do too, you can't be any help to someone if you are both getting bullied. It's just more unnecessary harm.

[@mcigloo]

@@sadiesimp2215 Like I said, I get what you're saying about his reasons and I understand and agree with them, it just hurts my soul to see Elle get continually bullied over and over and to see Will just looking on from a distance. My twin sister was bullied quite a bit but people learned quickly to NEVER do it in front of me. Of course, I was never violent with girls but I did get in more than one fight with dudes who thought they could pick on her. I'm not advocating violence and my sister actually got very angry with me for intervening but I couldn't sit by and watch it happen ya know?

[@sadiesimp2215]

@@mcigloo Yeah, I mean I am a girl (surprise surprise) and I never got bullied (in the way you think) and I didn't have any guy friends nor did I have any brothers. I was picked on by my friends and classmates but in the way you can't tell anyone because none of it was deemed 'bullying'. Like constantly being the butt of the joke or a hard Kiss Marry Kill or asking me out constantly as a joke and laughing as if it was the most unbelievable thing in the world. And I see myself in Will a lot because I was coming to terms with my sexuality, not knowing whether I liked girls, or liked boys and either way I struggled with a lot of internalized homophobia and hated myself for it. My friends would always call me a lesbian as a joke and now they tell me 'everybody would say I was a lesbian' during a time it was a funny thing to be. But I'd love to say I would stop someone if I saw them doing to same to a friend of mine, and I hate myself for it but I know I'd freeze up and not know what to do too. I think I'd make things worse for them. So I totally get you, it would be hard to watch and Will probably hates himself for not doing enough too, judging by the type of person his character is.

in my opinion Stranger Things 4 hands down the best season. Just finished the season so buckle up for a crazy ride lol.

[@barakaafrobama6519]

For me it goes Season One, Three, Four and Two. While Season One has the top spot on my list for obvious reasons, I absolutely loved Season 3. Shit had sum of my favourite Steve and Dustin moments, I enjoyed Robbin’s introduction and interaction with Steve, loved the Soviet Union story introduction and the scary Russian assassin dude, loved the nerdy Russian dude and his slow-building friendship with Murry (rest in peace nerdy Russian dude), the fleshy Godzilla Mindflayer and the Resident Evil-ass Hospital Monster were dope as fuck and my two favourite monsters in the whole series, and Billy’s redemption/ sacrifice in the end was tragic, tearjerking, but beautiful.

[@xapokalypse]

For me it's Season 1/4, then 3 and then 2. Each season was really good but sometimes it was a bit slow especially in season two which is why it's at the bottom. Other than that season two was amazing especially when it comes to Noah's (Will) acting. He did an amazing job and El too ofc

$20 in 1986 adjusted for inflation is $53 today. The current price where I live is as low as $50 an ounce. He is charging her $100 an ounce. $80 per ounce (today) after he offers her it for $15 for half an ounce.

[@user-fo9ep4lp5x]

I’m so glad you guys are doing the series. 👍🏻

[@kaspas5511]

so the best way i can explain maxs pain is so this show/musical called dear evan hansen, where basically this guy who was rude and high all the time even rude to his family, he kills himself, and even tho he was not the best guy and was always rude to his sister, you see her struggling with missing him and hating him at the same time. like he wasnt redeemed bc he khs but it kinda showed what he was going through and that he wasnt reacting to trauma in a healthy way. now billy wasnt a good guy either, more so then the guy i just mentioned. and he didnt necessarily redeem himself from the racism but we still saw (and max found out) what in his childhood had made him like that (orr at least contributed to his now self((or now past self bc he is dead but cest la vie))). so even though she had disliked him for so long she cant help but feel sorry for him bc she didnt see what he was going through to help.

@@skyemadisyn163 I mean yeah, but this type of cgi is nearly impossible to make look perfect. It’s done extremely well, but the thing is that people know how faces look. So tiny imperfections throw the whole face off. The CGI in those scenes are incredible work, probably some of the best face replacements just ever done from what I have seen. But people who don’t know about cgi and faces will probably say it’s bad.

I'm glad you guys pointed out that Will was doing nothing in the being-El's-brother department on the bullying, not even so much as going to stand beside her. He didn't seem to be getting bullied anymore himself at this point (a popular-looking girl was even hitting on him), and he could have at least stood beside her and not laughed. Even if he didn't actively defend her, he could have at least not let her hang out there by herself.

[@RaymondBCrisp]

Something that is very prominent in this series is how people grow up and apart, which mirrors real life. Last season it was everyone but Will having a girlfriend; this episode exposes Noah's alienation from his 'geek' friends now that he's become a 'jock,' and the gulf that develops between those separated by significant distance. One of the biggest charms of Stranger Things is its exploration of the human condition, along with the "totally 80s" vibe, of course.

I mean it's sad no one came to Lucas' game but I wouldn't either. His whole reasoning was if they come and he wins he can be cool and then they can too, which is not how it works. His friends would never fit in with that basketball team. Like Dustin said, they are proud nerds. They would have to give up everything they love to do, if they were to try and be cool and fit in with the "cool kids". And honestly, they are too weird and non-comformist to even be good at pretending not to be nerdy. It would have never worked out. Why do this when they already found their community where they don't have to pretend to be cool, they are just seen as cool with their other nerdy outcasts.
