Season 1 was good. Like Alien. Season 2 was better than the first. Like aliens. Season 3 was the worst of the 3, but it was by no means terrible, it was watchable and it was a pretty good conclusion besides the sequel bait at the end (very annoying, they should’ve just ended it here and had hopper die. Ik I should so miserable.) I guess it’s pretty similar to aliens 3. and then season 4 was just.. bo-womp sound effect Vecna was very much “rats, those darnded kiddos escaped again. I’ll get them next time…” couldn’t take him seriously. Power of music was also a liiiiitle silly but it was alright ig. Also, made the fandom really goddamn annoying. ‘Chrissy!’ This and ‘wake up!’ That. Master of puppets was fun to hear. I dunno if it’s comparable to the alien franchise, I got like 5 minutes into movie 4. If you couldn’t tell I’m scared for season 5

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

That actress does resemble young Winona Ryder, but a lot of us older people know exactly what she looked like at that age. She's been around since she was a teenager, for all of you kids who only know her from Stranger Things.

[@RichielaurensIII]

My older sister looks like her

[@Sagebyerss]

The new actress does look really similar to young Winona- I may have first really known her from stranger things (and beetlejuice) but I’m still a Winona fan and have watched a decent amount of her early work (heathers is such a good movie)

[@lisaplatt3697]

Happy that they are doing the play it's supposed to give clues to the 5th season...Do Hopper and Joyece know more about Henry Creel than they have said or do they connect the dots in the 5th season that Vecna/ Mind Flayer / One leads to Henry? I'm looking forward to the 5th season I'm a little disappointed that Will is going to have more screen time I feel they showed his struggles during season 4 but it did start with his disappearance. I think Elle is going to end up leaving in the end and go on to the Upside-down so she can keep the creatures there under control and her friends safe.

[@MyBitch925]

Im confused tho isnt henrys parents dead? So why are they in the play?

[@lisaplatt3697]

@MyBitch925 Good question again maybe there is some alteration/ ripple in time that we are all unaware of maybe that will be worked into the show...Maybe Dr. Brenner maybe he had a wife and Henry kills her? Possibilities are endless

[@nikfabbi87]

It’s a prequel set in 1959, an expansion of what we saw in Henry’s flashback in season 4.

[@misterbobby8913]

I don't get your comment, maybe a mistype, you said you're a little disappointed that Will is going to have more screentime? Will literally has been deserving more screen time for the past seasons. He need it! The audience wants it.

[@misterbobby8913]

I do wish they don't focus on Will's sexuality tho and just focus on the fact that He's actually such an Important part in the show due to the fact he has been in the upside down and can *feel* when creatures from the upside down are around and he *was* possessed by the mind flayer. So Yeah. That's BIG Stuff! I also Love the scenes where he feels something at the back of his neck, it's Awesome like when Harry would feel pain in his scar in Harry Potter and etc.

[@kevinamaya5681]

What are they gonna do for this show? Is it gonna be like a teen drama type of thing cause these characters didn’t know anything about the paranormal activity

[@Brunos-magic-hat]

My thoughts exactly

[@mercy6549]

probably

[@stewyyishim]

its a stage play idk why everyone think its a tv show

[@miaboaler2968]

its not a tv show lol, everyone keeps saying that but its a stage play. Its a couple nights thing in certain locations, not a netflix release yk

[@liltmarshall8717]

Exactly I'm so confused

[@JoeCool-ok9sd]

Yoo Micheal I've watched all your stranger things videos and I can't stop showing them off to friends. The theories are awesome and no-one comes close when it comes to stranger things content. Thanks so much for this awesome video can't wait for this soon off to drop, and please, MORE STRANGER THINGS your the best thank you!!

[@gemeaux333]

I wondered if Susan (Max's mom) also lived in Hawkins in 1959 (like born and having spent her childhood and teenage there) and possibly patrticipated to mkultra, it would explain some things and have hard implications for her and Max

[@rachelsheppard9122]

Maybe. We don't really know her backstory. Maybe she moved from Hawkins to California, met the man who would become Max's dad, something happened to him, and she met and married Billy's dad.

[@gemeaux333]

@@rachelsheppard9122 she could either have participied to mkultra before moving from Hawkins in order to finance her studies in california, or having participied while being in california if the program had a branch there when it comes to Sam Mayfield (max's dad), from what you can learn in the novel Runaway Max, you can assume that they got married, Max is born and they formed a united family for 10+ years, the cause of the divorce is unknown but there are hints such as both having opposite life choice (professionally and for pass times), after that she had around 5 short living relations before meeting Neil Hargrove Anyway, Sam Mayfield was much better as a father than Susan as a mother, for him his daughter was always coming first and he teacher her many usefull things (even against Vecna), by season 4 they have had little contacts for 18 months

[@jeannguyen3199]

OMG, I remember Isabella Pappas from Villains of Valley View. And she's gonna play young Joyce? Cool.

[@MickeyGreenEyes213]

I would love if they show Robin's parents and they're played by Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke!

[@Kanoog]

After watching Gen V from The Boys universe, I'm excited to see a well done spin off series of Stranger Things now.

Dude I freaking love the new cast

[@kingcarterpro]

It's not a show, it's a play

[@bryanthernandez9769]

And it’s on London

[@markpostgate2551]

A play is a show; it doesn't say "tv show"; a stage show is still a show. "Movie show" (or "film show" or "picture show") and "radio show" are also English phrases. Albeit, it is disappointing that it is not a tv show.

[@ashlielepek]

If it's as good as the current show, bring on the spin-offs!

[@rainyparade7867]

The age difference doesn't really matter. When you're watching a stage play, it's totally different than watching a tv show. It just doesn't feel as weird having older people playing younger characters, or younger people playing older onces

[@nikfabbi87]

Well, it matters since TV Henry Creel was a child and stage-play Henry Creel is a teenage boy in high school, and since the play claims to be canon…

[@rainyparade7867]

@@nikfabbi87 It would matter if they were changing Henry's cannon age, but that's not what they're doing. He was supposed to be 12, and in theatre getting someone a few years older to play a role isn't weird at all. When you watch it unless they're super tall or something it doesn't feel strange in the same way it does when it's tv and you're watching them really up close.

[@curtisbush5728]

Dustins not from Hawkins originally. I wonder if his mom moved back with him when she left dustins dad?

[@jessicagreene3944]

They changed Father Newby to Principal Newby recently (like in the past few days)

[@jaydimmick8554]

Ok good I had a heart attack thinking everyone got recast

[@lordxeno8270]

SAME

[@somepersonskywalking5350]

I believe Stranger Things is definitely going to become the next big pop culture franchise. It has already established itself and has been around for over 7 years which is crazy. Imagine how big it would’ve been if it had been multiple movies, I mean it’s already super popular but imagine how many people would’ve watched if it appeared in cinemas. In my eyes it may just become the next Star Wars in a sense. Just with the Duffers hopefully making better decisions than George Lucas selling it to a corporation like Disney and hiring terrible executives, which ultimately ruined it. Therefore I believe that spin-offs are likely to happen after season 5 of the show.

[@Colby215]

OMG!! the young joyce is actually the girl from the villains of valley view series!!

[@laurenbendik2006]

i dont think the joyce character's young version looks as much like her as you think she does....their noses are completely different. New girl has a wider flatter nose, winona has a thinner pointier nose.

[@DanielBuckwheat]

My friend auditioned for Henry Creel but didn’t get a call back and in the criteria to apply you need to be over the age of 16. Plus he got an email with loads of confidential information with preview dates e.c.t he showed it to me and I know the preview date.

[@PreppyPixiesVlogs]

10:57 this scene is totally so real

[@8Phoenix8]

Gives me a Sephiroth vibe when they talk about 001. This reminds me of First Soldier when they say the First Soldier

[@tianfromthebrickworld8487]

Well i dont uderstand what "stranger things" could happend in the past like in the prequels bc we know that they never experience something wird in their lives until season 1 right? Bc qhy they never talk about something like "oh yeah remember highschool when we saw the first demogorgon" ... you got me? I dont uderstand what caind of story they can tell us

[@murilocollares8553]

I dont have a problem with the actors from the play being different than their netflix counterparts, but you saying they look similar is INSANE. none of the actors look closely to the original

[@Tofusthetics]

you reached with that young hopper comparison lol

[@noaheverett0630]

super happy!

[@ChayaBoard_24]

I love watching your vids about stranger things but I got to say that I don’t think that they look the same, like I don’t know if I’m just super used to Winona but like it’s a no not really for me on that, but amazing vid!

[@mitchellcendlewski6481]

That new cast at the start is for the musical. Not the show. If you slow it down, you can see one of the cast members is a “swing”. So no it’s not for the new season

[@ElizabethMidfordHatesCops]

That's the only reason I clicked. I know next to nothing about Stranger Things besides the little information friends have said to me. But I love VOVV and hope Isabella Pappas being in this doesn't bring a cancellation upon the show.

[@Radorian]

While I kinda like the idea of a prequel play the new actors look nothing like the OG characters. Your Papas/Ryder comparison just doesnt work for me. They look nothing alike.

[@silverj.morrison2562]

Agree. However, in the play they look alike but only because of wigs, makeup and outfits.

[@owenjemine5342]

What about young Bonnie the husband pf joyce

[@GuyTheArtist]

Yeah, it’s unnecessary because the start of Stranger Things should be hopper and Joyce his first experience with anything supernatural

[@captainfach]

I'm kind of happy for new stranger things, but I'm really worried that it's just going to ruin the original because there's going to have to be some weird stuff happening when they were all kids that none of them said one word about in the original show. So either they're going to have to break the Canon or they're going to have to do some stupid prequel movie shit where they all lose their memories in the end oh

[@viewer642]

its not a tv show its a theatre play

[@Jah_LEASE_yah]

I still don't know what this show is supposed to be about. The adult characters learned about the upside-down and the world of the supernatural in the events of season one. So, are we just going to watch them be normal teenagers in high school?? No supernatural stuff????? I really hope that this show is actually going to be about the MK-Ultra stuff and young Henery Creel, and Joyce, Hopper and Bob are all going to be secondary or even tertiary characters. I don't want their stories to be retconned to place them in the middle of some supernatural event, but I also don't want to see just a boring regular ass show about high schoolers. I want to see some Stranger Things horror.

[@stewyyishim]

this isnt a tv show, its a play

[@nikfabbi87]

…supposed to be canon. Duffer Brothers clearly said “This play is not an original story or a re-telling, but a bridge between seasons 4 and 5.

[@silverj.morrison2562]

It's definitely not a high schoolers play, but it's a story about how the upsidedown started. As they said, a bridge between S4 and S5.

[@owenjemine5342]

You know Jasper from Henry danger he should be young hopper

[@yusukeGum]

If they want to go way back since their parents were young they should use time travel for example to avoid vecna from doing damage to innocent people so they could stop him somehow and they could reunite their parents to save the future and also from preventing vecna from harming others why not stranger things Shadow as a prequel for time travel and then a spin-off could take place in the future somewhere in the beginning in the early 2000 why not that is not that bad as an idea

[@your_delusional_donkey]

"they obviously can't hire an actual 12-year-old for a play that will run for six months straight" Ahem. Matilda The Musical. The Lion King. Marry Poppins. Annie. Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Billy Elliot. The School of Rock. I am STRICTLY referring to shows on Broadway with child actors in the cast, that can run from months to years. Yes, they have understudies and cast changes every now and then, but who says The First Shadow can't do the same? What I find even more contradicting is that this play will run on WEST END. Theaters that have existed for literal CENTURIES! there's no excuse here!
