Stranger Things 4x02 'Chapter Two: Vecna's Curse' | First Time Reaction

[@SunlessNick]

I liked that Eddie's uncle was convinced he was innocent.

[@jerodast]

I like a lot of the stuff around Eddie, including his uncle. Unconventional families that actually support each other are always nice, maybe especially so when the "personality types" are different but they're still doing their best.

[@fester2306]

Same. Hope he's in S5, along w/ Mr. Clark. He was one of my favorite characters.

[@TJMiton]

the eddie arc in this season is excellent

[@JohnnyBNerdy]

Yall hugging after Hopper dying is the feel good part of the show!

[@jerodast]

Them getting mad about needlessly needing emotional support over Hopper is genuinely making me preemptively mad about things that really will need support this season. But I was also pretty mad about what they did to Dustin's cat in season 2 so take that with a grain of salt...but also not :P

[@jammyjimmy666]

"I don't wanna watch another kid get 'snapped' in the air!" Oh Maple, sweet girl. You are not going to enjoy this season then

[@brewdaly1873]

I think Mason Dye often gets overlooked, but he was a fantastic antagonist in this season. Working with the information (and propaganda) Jason had at the time, everything he does feels believable. And he plays the role of the "all American" teenager who has fully bought into this idea perfectly. He kills it as an antagonist this season.

[@Drforrester31]

I love his almost supernatural ability to motivate people with his speeches

[@bamboozla9977]

I agree. I liked how he at least gave Lucas some of his time and pep talk as he is throwing up. I think it's a nice detail that shows towards his natural leadership. Random thought, I can see him as a younger Johnny Cage casting. If you know anything about Mortal Kombat.

[@jimmygreer2140]

Will is even more sad because it's his birthday and no one remembered. Well, the writers didn't remember.

[@Youtubintheuser]

Haha oh dang!! I never noticed that!!

[@Avalee325]

Omg sad! I know it’s spring break but did they ever say on the show that it was March? I don’t remember 🤔

[@AkiireT]

@@Avalee325 Yes, they said it. His mother said it is March 22. I think in the second season

[@jimmygreer2140]

@Avalee325 yeah, after the opening flashback scene & they cut to today it says sorting break & the date. That's how I also knew that Master of Puppets was released like 16 days prior to these events.

[@jimmygreer2140]

@AkiireT yeah, I think it was The Spy. They got him tied up in the shed. And the date they gave for spring break was his birthday or the day before...either way, it's supposed to be Will's birthday and Mike & them don't mention a thing.

[@desertrose777]

At least you didn't have to wait 3 years to learn Hop's fate.

[@monygemini88]

Hearing Maple scream "I can't keep watching this, man!" made me laugh so hard

[@nedzed3663]

You guys ready to see some of the wettest, gooiest, sloshiest special effects and prosthetics ever seen in this show?

[@jerodast]

I'm actually a little thrown off by how perturbed A&M are about these effects, because IMO last season's monsters were WAY grosser. Sure it's all pretty nasty here too, but anything better than an animated pile of toxic, weirdly spiky goo. All the gore here at least is composed of parts that are basically human...

[@SaiyanHeretic]

@@jerodast If anything, that makes it worse. The Mindflayer's fleshy construct was so obviously fantastical that it could only be CGI. Vecna's victims are actual people being graphically mutilated, and while that is also VFX, it does make the body horror more realistic and personal.

[@odinez7010]

I think the Wayne Munson actor must have had a lot of fun doing the cigarettepuffingworldwearyscarystory exposition. Nailed it. "You ever hear the name... Victor Creel?"

[@hartjohnson2975]

I adored Maple's defense of clocks.

[@jerodast]

I love the parallel between 80s panic over D&D and Stranger Things-induced panic over beautiful old grandfather clocks haha. They must be defended, this false correlation is pure hysteria!

[@sensaiuriah5440]

U guys faces in the thumbnail perfectly describes y'all personality when scared lol 😂

[@jacquelinelaface136]

Feel good show, DERRY GIRLS!!! I will never stop recommending that show to people. Coming of age show based in Northern Ireland during the 90s. Feel good while also having it's emotional moments, but so funny that sometimes i cry laughing. Only 3 seasons of 6 episodes 30 minute each. Except the final episode which is double the length. I really think you would love it! 😊

[@John_Locke_108]

I feel so good that you're finally on Season 4.

[@sensaiuriah5440]

Seems to be the feel good is hitting them as well by how maple is looking 😂

@@sensaiuriah5440 I'm expecting her to be playing Running Up That Hill on repeat during the last two episodes. With her eyes closed just rocking back and forth in her chair.

Mason Dye as Jason is scary because he's an all-American easily radicalized young man. He gave American Psycho vibes.

[@ChrisMorganComedy]

[@Bigsteelguy4]

It only gets way better ladies, things are going to get weird, crazy, wild, and very emotional. Season 4 isn't for the faint of heart. It is on another level. But that's what makes it so good.

[@andromidius]

Angela indeed sucks. All the kids around her suck. Eleven isn't a snitch, and in fact defended Angela when she could have easily said nothing or told the truth. She got off easy.

Episode 4 is super feel good.

[@zoex3316]

If my friends treated me like Mike treated will that summer in 3 I would wait for them to reach out to me too (or at the very least it would certainly not be on me). Otherwise I’d assume they don’t care anymore

[@CrownlessKing88]

Literally no one describes this show as a feel good kid’s show. So whoever told you that is either stupid or they were messing with you..

[@KublaVeruca]

There are two types of 80's Bullies. The humiliation type ,(seen here), and the straight up psychopath who is trying to kill someone. This show got another thing right for the 80's motif. You say Mike's brother looks tired... That's 'cause he IS tired. He had to be thirty years old when filmed this. Which is apropos of the standard teenage actor of the time: mid to late twenties and up into the mid thirties (specially if it was a franchise).

[@helbraheals]

Tom Hanks' first role was about playing a kid that couldnt tell the difference between D&D and reality. It was horrible to watch.

[@TheRepublican777]

I think I remember something like that I don't remember it being Tom Hanks but I remember a movie that was made like that dang now I have to look it up and watch it lol

[@elkins4406]

@@TheRepublican777 Mazes and Monsters! (1982)

[@Easy_Skanking]

I watched that movie when it was shown on TV during the "Satanic Panic" time. I was angry with the whole thing and it took me a while to like Hanks again. Me and my friends got flak because we played D&D and most everyone else were playing villagers with torches and pitchforks. Judgmental idiots. 🤦‍♂

[@TheRepublican777]

@@Easy_Skanking yea they turn it into an actual Satan thing when it really isn't just because it has evil characters doesn't make it a demonic cult they do the same thing with video games they think that because they have shootings in it that people will become mass shooters and yes if a kid starts way to young or just the wrong psycho person is obsessed with killing in the games then yes it can happen in rare cases as with anything

[@fancyclan5679]

You are absolutely glowing in this video!!! ❤

[@wilwaycoholland4337]

now imagine having to wait almost a year to find out hopper was alive

[@RunningTogether]

Yep, everything’s bad… “Hopper’s in prison in Russia” and “Will can’t get a good haircut to save his life.” 😂. Very similarly bad things happening! 😂😂 Very fun reaction as always, can’t wait for the rest of this season! Unfortunately this season is a little less “feel good” than the previous ones. 😜😂. Still is overall a great horror-adventure (and so somewhat “feel-good”(ish)). 😜 I don’t think anyone ever said it was for kids though. It’s a more grown up version of The Goonies (tonally), with a bit older horror to it, so it definitely has a higher age target.

[@KublaVeruca]

Yeah, Mazes And Monsters was Horrible... I remember picking it up at the vcr tape rental place, and being horribly disappointed.... And years later, my girlfriend at the time walked up to me and had the tape... I told her, you wont like it... But, she was a fan of the author (or screenwriter), and Hanks as well... And I was like... "man, if you rent it, I wont watch it." She was also disappointed.... People forget that Hanks early career wasn't stellar.... He was in movies like Bachelor Party.... I think Splash helped him, but what really got him on the map was Philadelphia. I used to watch a sitcom he was in called Bosom Buddies.... And for a while it looked like Peter Scolari was getting more success, 'cause of all the tv work he was getting... But Hanks eventually prevailed... On a side note, I THINK Chris Makepeace was also in Mazes And Monsters. He was in very typical 80's comedies like Meatballs and My Bodyguard.... meh

My feel good show ever made 😂

[@KublaVeruca]

I don't see either of you crying over the worst tragedy of this series.... Will's haircut. That poor kid spent a nightmare in the Upside down. Possessed by the Mindflayer. But, he's never gonna get over the trauma of that haircut. A bowlcut will haunt you to the end of your days.... And some say...beyond!

[@jerodast]

Let's face it Joyce doesn't have a great track record for helping her kids through the minefield of high school popularity, starting with basic fashion. It's laudable to always give positive reinforcement about how special your kids are and how superficial crap isn't important, but...sometimes a little attention to the superficial can reduce some misery. It is interesting Will still got a little foot flirting in class, so apparently El's midwestern outfit from the 50s is a worse sin than the bowl cut.

[@KublaVeruca]

@@jerodast I think the folk in charge gave that actor that haircut, 'cause he cleans up a little nicer then some of the other "kids". So they nerdified him as much as possible. Incidentally, if you pay attention, there have been hints throughout the show about Will.... If you know what I mean, don't spoil it for those who may not have figured it out...

[@Kiraiko44]

I'm actually jealous ya'll got to enjoy Hopper's return being a surprise, it was ruined for a lot of us who were watching it as it was coming out. They showed Hopper in trailers for Season 4 months leading up to it coming out so a lot of people already knew he was alive before the show even started back up. Which means that the reveal in episode 2 felt a little meh

[@victorewah2659]

Watching Maple and Arianna react to Vecna' s second victim this season filled me with undeniable laughter, especially considering what the future episodes have instored for them. Season 4 of Strangers Things certainly has such sights to show Maple & Arianna! lol 😂

[@Uhlbelk]

Yall are still salty that someone called this a "feel good" show before you started watching season 1.

[@paulockenden4278]

The way Hopper survives was the lamest thing the Duffers have done in the show. All of the possible use of the upside down if Hopper had jumped through would have been infinitely better.

[@daurydavis3983]

Well when you make a TV show than you can do that

[@mikeamber2528]

He couldn't have jumped through that, the opening was far too small. Also, there was no logical way Hopper could've navigated the Upside Down and ended up in Russia.

[@paulockenden4278]

@mikeamber2528 no it wasn't that narrow easily enough room , far more exciting and storywise it would have made more sense as Hopper already knew what it was like , he could have been picked up by a scouting party who were in there trapping Demogorgans rather than the lamest thing the shows done.

[@jerodast]

@@daurydavis3983 👢👅

[@HopesBoomerang]

​@@daurydavis3983The Duffers aren't gonna personally eat your ass out for defending them. Season 3's writing, especially for Hopper and Joyce, was dog shit. You don't need writing experience to know when it's garbage.

[@ukuviispert9599]

ngl, tho I really like hopper as a character, I think he should have actually died. Having the viewers cry their eyes out and dedicate the entire ending scene of season 3 to hopper's death, only to then bring him back right away is just so lazy and ruins the weight of season 3's ending. I still cry when I watch reactors see hopper's death, but rewatching the show on my own, it just doesnt hit the same knowing he's actually still alive

[@Easy_Skanking]

Having lived through the Satanic Panic, it was not an interesting time. LOL As I played D&D and was a metal head, I got doubly judged by easily led fools. Even my grandmother tried talking to me about reading Devil worship books. I can't hold my tongue with ignorant judgmental righteousness, so it was a fun family time that day.
