[@antonio.s9102]

Favourite character is easily Hopper. Ever since season 1. Love his motives, he wants to care for 11 like a daughter, due to how he lost his original one. Love his courage, just everything.

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

Antonio. S hopper and Steve are the best

[@sparxtheknight]

For real...Steve really stepped up this season and was honestly was a genuine character and awesome actor

[@Nihlux]

Me too, Hopper is the fucking man.

[@jonathankelley542]

Sean Astin could never play a villain lol.

[@blairschutte4972]

He reminds me so much of Jim Raynor from StarCraft

[@FlakJak117]

"Hey buddy, it's okay shhh, he kicked your ass but you put up a good fight" -Dustin.

[@TmTelecastFTW]

That bit was great, my favorite thing of the whole season by far was steve and dustin. They just meshed so well together. Plus I always wanted a brother and that showed of exactly why.

[@oriepup9889]

Best line of the whole season lol

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

not having a brother is not at all bad , everything has its ups and downs , trust me

[@GeorgeOnYT-]

You say that but you don’t as much as you might think. Everything is shared. Also there are always fights and arguments. Always company when your little kids though. Having a brother has its pros and cons.

[@travisshallcross2106]

Says every typical movie person ever. I hate people who quote movies and don't have substantial opinions. You're the carbon copies of everyone else who isn't a critical thinking person.

[@nerulon089]

Steve tactic works 100%. He tried so hard in season 1 and Nancy leaves him. In season 2 he just dont give a fuck and let her go and everybody loves him :D

[@dementedavenger2784]

an allegory for life lol

[@about99ninjas56]

Everyone like steve because hes down to fuck shit up at a moments notice

[@9yearoldepicgamersoldier129]

about 99 ninjas Lmao yes!

[@twilightwyrm]

To be fair, being a bro for everyone really helps.

[@cuckoophendula8211]

Steve really did grow a lot. He traded in douchebaggery for being a loyal defender of the crew while also learning how to accept and let go of where he is in the relationship.

[@T4ZSK1]

These really were the best performances by child actors I've ever seen.

[@xxmexicutionerxx3197]

MiiqeX you clearly have never seen a sweatshop. Those kids aren't actually suffering. They're just good actors

[@UmpalumpaofDeath]

Go watch the witch and then you 'll know better.

[@johnmurdock2825]

Watch gifted

[@DammnDeejay]

Really? They aiight but the kids in “IT” were at least a little more convincing to me. I know there are other movies with amazing child actors but that’s just the last movie I seen recently with kids

[@kingtriton1975]

Bob is the fucking man

[@Radioactive_exe]

I am a Puppy *was

[@THESNEAKERADDICT]

I am a Puppy hell yea

[@eduardogze]

Of course, he's a superhero..

[@LORDdrPepper]

I am a Puppy respect goes out to Bob...

[@LiquidusSnakeX]

I might turn gay if I could marry Bob. What a guy!

[@williamgoggins4984]

Jonathan, how was the pull out?

[@docicusalignjon]

Or did he pullout? 🤔

[@brianboardwell1986]

Filip Mrcela Nancy pregnant in S3 LOL

[@ssjichigo666]

+Fuck Cataluna the couch?

[@battlefieldfront6358]

he was coked out of his mind

[@theashysavant3350]

Made me laugh so hard

[@212121Sean212121]

I disagree, I feel there was a lot of untapped depth to Billy. He's abused by his father, and he displaces that onto Max. He can't retaliate against his father or step-mother, so he interprets the "reason" for his suffering as being Max. It may be wrong, but you can understand it. Billy's depth was much more subtle, but it is there.

[@212121Sean212121]

Also, I feel the Lost Sister episode is meant to set up for Season 3. Eight's illusionary powers have a lot of potential for horror.

[@raphaelho3551]

I thought the typical gang was an illusion the whole time. Like 008 just wanted a feeling of family and thus created one through her memory of perhaps typical tv shows that projects themselves everywhere. Then again that means she hould constantly have nose bleeds and who be driving the van.

[@Lightguardian_HOH]

maaaax SAY IT!!!!!!

[@ElJored]

I agree with you point of view. I just wrote a comment like yours to another poster.

[@allthingswildlifeyt1218]

Alphahero RHO well that would make this season Alot better.

[@TurboThunderGaming]

There is a small detail everyone seems to actually forget. On Season 1, maybe even first or second episode (don't remember perfectly), Dustin has a crush on Nancy, Nancy shuts the door on his face. The ending of Season 2 is a happy one because Dustin gets to dance with Nancy. So he also finally gets his crush. :)

[@sk70091]

Why do you think Dustin ever had a crush on Nancy? Because he offered her the pizza? That was just Dustin being Dustin, a sweet kid.

[@sk70091]

@Undertow 82 What do you mean?

[@EZart-bq1xl]

Bro, I didn't even realize that

[@xzen667]

Steve became one of my favorite characters too. They should add him to their party.

[@TeoCRO]

xzen667 You think he would hang out with kids all the time?

[@scottiecurrie7927]

TeoCRO I would hope so. He probably wouldn't stick well, but he clearly enjoys Dustin's company at least. Maybe he'll grow to like DnD

[@LiquidusSnakeX]

I think Steve could be an awesome Dark Knight.

[@sanjeev6262]

xzen667 isn’t he already, isn’t he the defender or something like that? I might be mistaken and if I am don’t get mad

[@maet8466]

same

[@BlackFragFilms]

*SPOILER AHEAD* I felt like Bob's death was way too predictable. It felt like the only purpose for that character to die...

[@jerekheadrick3379]

I knew it as soon as he was introduced. A side character who's fat, clumsy, nice, and smart. Welcome to the show Barb #2

[@Fuvail]

BlackFragFilms SAME MAN the entire time I was just like he's gonna die it was way to predictable and before he died when he was all happy that he got out of the building you just knew the demodog was gonna get him from behind

[@bracero27]

Iam glad he died! A juicy snack for the Demodogs! Those fucking teeth face, ugh.....gave me the creeps!

[@justaddwater6644]

He's the perfect guy, of course he's gonna die. He had absolutely no flaws. He existed to die, he's just a plot device.

[@BlackFragFilms]

It didn't really help that the character had the most generic name possible. Made him feel expendable right from the start.

[@djk287]

The crew from episode 7 was one of the most cringe worthy I have ever seen. Truly terrible and so out of place. It was like watching a whole other show. Would have rather had a whole episode of Steve and Dustin hanging out than that.

[@matt5842]

the only one I liked was that big black dude, but I was stiill hoping all of them would die at the end of that episode

[@naryonthomas]

Doug Kelly not out of place. It will play a big part in season 3. Watch

[@neoshenlong]

I didn't hate it as much as other people did, but it definitely felt out of place. At the very end when Eleven sees Hopper and Mike in the cliffhanger from the previous episode I was like "Oh right, this is Stranger Things". It really felt like I took a 40 minute break from watching the show to watch something else.

[@Quiron1985]

If that's the way S3 will go, I don't think I would like it. I like that small town, 80's vibe. If they'll go to the big city with others who also have superpowers, the "vibe" of the show will go lost (like Ep7)

[@9yearoldepicgamersoldier129]

Neoshenlong Archivo 2008 - 2011 I felt the same way.

[@TheEnigma271]

Elevens sister eight reminds me of that girl from infamous second son

[@sebastianc2077]

Efraín Ram Lol i thought that to i played the game when it was on free on plus so i saw her like that to

[@TexelGuy]

Holy shit you're soooooo right

[@dogblessjakey]

Can we just mention how it was Bob fault he died cause he could’ve escaped and lived but he decided to stop and smile at Joyce for an awful long time and long enough for the Alien dog to kill Bob

[@TimmySquibs]

Infinite Killer DemoDog* :D

[@TheBenoliPx]

I shouted "fucking move!" when he did that because it was obvious he wouldn't make it

[@akmal94ibrahim]

Yea, they could've killed his character off better. Instead, they went "Let's just stay here smiling at my lover while danger is right behind me". That was a stupid death.

[@filipbartas576]

Pretty sure it was a split second smile. It's just the slomo that made it look like a long moment.

[@stt.9433]

cheesiest death ever, it was so fucking stupid.

[@kraglord1997]

The snow ball really hit me with the feels.

[@rabast]

Jason Woelfel Same. Really brought me back.

[@bluegoose7832]

I was so happy that they did that. Mike kept his promise to 11

[@brendencline6583]

Jason Woelfel for the cliffhanger made me so annoyed i wanted todie

[@EvilLuisito]

My biggest disappointment was how they handled the "Upside Down". Season 2 was all about the tunnels and the Mind Flayer acting like a virus that's infecting Will. But I much preferred the idea of Season 1, where the Upside Down seemed much more interesting. Like when Will was trapped in the Upside Down, he was in the same house as the mom, they couldn't see each other but they could communicate. And then you had demogorgons passing through portals in the walls / trees. That was cool.

[@Xedjithegoblin]

I agree, I love season 2 but I feel like it lost the psychological horror elements of season 1

[@Montasir125]

4 years late but 100% agreed.

[@jedipoodoo]

From how I interpreted it, episode 7 was trying to show what would've happened if Eleven went more darkside, basically showing her what not to do. Yeah at first she was enjoying being around them, but she realized how good she had it with her friends in Hawkins and how her life could've turned out if she wasn't as good natured.

[@bonganiyasharahla8488]

But she is way far from being good though....

[@mikejames276]

Stranger things is one of the best series i've ever watched. The nostalgic and the acting is top.

[@mikejames276]

I dont get your point... But atleast I know iam not a gay. Ask your mom.

[@rebelfriend1818]

helios is right stfu non-believers stop living in denial lmao

[@lordroyaltee]

Mike James LOL you haven't seen many shows have you?

[@mikejames276]

Depends what many shows are?

[@B4raCk0s4Ma]

Not to mention the incredible soundtrack and editing, especially this season!

[@haedencouturier3519]

That last 15 minutes was GOLD. Also Mike, Hopper, Will and Eleven are best. Also Bob was MVP

[@spectre722]

don't forget steve. literally every time shit was going down i was like DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE KILL HIM

[@haedencouturier3519]

Antares I KNOW, this is like one of the few shows where there's no characters I don't love

[@TheBenoliPx]

Antares I thought Steve was going to be killed when he was lifting the kids up out of the tunnel when the demodogs were running at them.

[@MoeMentos]

I was crying like a baby during that final scene

[@ssdaaFaf2]

Mike was kinda boring this season, he doesn't really do anything. Dustin and Lucas were the best.

[@CenrelianGuardsmen]

The Duffer Brothers committed one of televisions greatest mistake: they killed Samwise and now my interest in the shows future

[@PhilGerb93]

Reece Willy They destroyed my fucking childhood.

[@struggleryoutube]

What do you mean? he didn't die. he was under the dumpster the whole time.

[@daveyjoneslocker4703]

The fuck? Yeah I’m sad he died but was he even in the first season? I sure as fuck don’t remember him mattering in season 1 and the show was fantastic.

[@nydabeats]

episode 7 might not have fit stylistically but its not a bad episode. The evolution of 11 was needed for her character to grow...

[@shadowlinkbds]

Wasn't expecting you to review this. Love the stranger things intro you did for this. I love stranger things and I'm excited to see what they will come out next for season 3.

[@blobber51]

shadowlinkbds stranger things is gay

[@bigdan7666]

Izzy how is it gay?

[@blakrabbito]

I legit thought his intro was going to be Angrier things 2 to reference the channel too. That wouldve been a highlight for me 😂😂😂😂

[@creativecookbook]

I expected him to review thor ragnarok by now

[@matthewbubulka6149]

That intro was very impressive.

[@847999]

Matthew Bubulka a

[@Thedeepseanomad]

Eleven did not go to Dagobah for Jedi training. She went to Korriban for a crash course in outcast Sith/dark side teachings.

[@AttonBrown]

Thedeepseanomad this comment is the best down here

[@AmericanHero08]

Reject x-men is exactly what I was thinking the entire time I was watching through ep. 7.

[@gggfightklub8449]

Roni Rios a mix of Jean and Logan I’d says

[@TheAzureSky1]

If I built a time machine, the first thing I'd do is go back and tell myself to skip episode 7.

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

xNaruto420x if you went back in time you wouldn't waste your time watching something you already have .

[@niks5463]

Petran Moudatsos nah m8. It would depend on if he built the time machine out of disgust for episode 7. If so, he would have to always watch episode 7 so that his past self would build the machine that his future self could use. You cant change the past without messing with future. Basic time traveler knowledge

[@dario_lind]

I agree that episode 7 wasn’t that good but it was ok and it expanded elevens character

[@niks5463]

Petran Moudatsos couldnt tell ya. I was just messing around. I like thinking about time travel and all the possibilities and what rules it has to abide by. Maybe all you can do is observation. Maybe you can go back and actually change it.

[@OriemAbraham]

u still will have the memory dumbass

[@madookamagooka743]

008 looks like a trash version of sombra

[@realglueman1200]

Except sombra is trash

[@LeTtRrZ]

8 is still better at invisibility.

[@MoeMentos]

She's sexy, but then again I have a thing for Indian women 🤣

[@LusioEcarts]

^ Indian women are beautifuI (a Iot of them) (not really talking about the one from episode 7 tho haha / I have other examples / faces in mind)

[@clairelintott]

Madooka Magooka agreed I hate that bitch

[@danithefoot633]

came here to see if the big guy hated it

[@akmal94ibrahim]

Dan Nardi annnd he did. And when asked what specific issue he didn't like, he starts "Ermm, I mean... I mean..." and then reiterates Joe's issues with it. Dude has no clue or can't articulate what made him not like movies.

[@filipbartas576]

eight's not hate, bro.

[@donovan1345]

He said barely a 8 but doesn't elaborate on his "problems" of the show other than what the two Joe's state. He doesn't know how to be a informed critic. Really, the music?? The music is still great.

[@p1tz0n16]

season 2 episode 7 man, just terrible

[@tc3486]

No Suicide Squad in season 3 and no more special powered kids leave a like if you agree let duffer brothers know

[@sarahschouveller1993]

They heard you I guess lol

[@danielthornebille6980]

Steve is MVP of season 2

[@lamri13uk]

Daniel Thorne Bille and Bob!

[@danielthornebille6980]

Yes and Bob :D

[@maet8466]

steve is my new favourite character

[@adambarbee4450]

Episode 7 was the "Yoda" episode. She helped Eleven figure out how to strengthen her powers and let us know some of the other kids lived. Just cuz some of the others escaped doesn't mean they would just be all hiding in other peoples basements in Hawkins. And I'm sorry but if we got to season 4 and all the sudden number 5, 8, 3 and 9 show up in the last ten minutes to help stop it once and for all people would be fuckin pissed. You have to start introducing them slowly at some point.

[@adambarbee4450]

That all said, her "gang" were all fuckin awful.

[@Wubba83]

i agree, but they could have done it better then how they did, it was a 80's cartoon episode of extreem characters. too on the nose and didn't felt anything like the rest of the show. felt like a different show then a episode.

[@mitchellk129]

No. It was complete trash. I facepalmed every single time that ridiculous crew opened their stupid fucking mouths.

[@spartox6093]

You knew him as "Bob", but I knew him as "Samwise Gamgee"

[@nick2803]

It had its moments. Wasn't as good as season 1, though. (SPOILERS) The best character has to be Hopper and Steve. Steve definitely got redemption again, but he didn't deserve what Nancy did to him. He changed, but Nancy still slept with Jonathan because its the rule of "loser gets the girl". That's pretty much the only role he plays. To be a punching bag to feel remorse (even though we only see him get bullied for ACTUALLY [but accidentally] spying on people at the wrong time] for, and later miraculously shows up last second to save someone. Nancy just has so much pity for him, that Jon manages to finally seal the deal when she's thinking over things and is going through more character development. Steven genuinely loved Nancy, and despite his faults, struggled between keeping some independence and not hurting Nancy. He doesn't want to go to the girl's (forgot her name, the redhead with glasses who no one really cared about) because he known whats going to happen deep down, and that it would hurt Nancy. Yeah, he originally pressured her into sex, but that doesn't negate his sacrifices in order to protect people. Steve seems to have matured so much since then, and yet the world still sees him as the same bully. He deserves at least one win somewhere, right? Nope. He gets the shit kicked out of him, and Nancy fucks Jonathan cause there was 'magic in the air'. Jonathan always managed to be in the right places at the right time to take her off her feet, and bring her home to safety, with sure well that Nancy sees this. Meanwhile Steve was the one fighting giant-fuck-off dog monsters, daemon-things and tentacles. But still, Jonathan always brings her home when it's some sort of high-school teenager drama. Jonathan is just not a very fleshed out character, whose only role is to relate to the more anti-social or awkward teenagers. I seriously don't remember any significant dialogue with him besides the ones with Will. I chose Hopper as well, cause he's a bad ass (like always) and you get to see him try to father a telekinetic, emotionally unstable, little girl. Sure, we don't learn more about his wife and daughter, but it's just nice to see him in general. And Eleven? Her scenes were "reeeee" until something breaks. Even though nothing really happened in episode 7, and it was the least-liked episode, it really showed that Eleven FINALLY matured even just a LITTLE. That had to be the considerably good part in the episode. Even then, I've lost all empathy with her. She's killed dozens of people. Yes, she was a lab rat for experimentation to fight the under-world, but that only makes it understandable and not justifiable or nonpunishable. I loved it when Hopper said "You need to learn that your decisions have consequences." and locked her in her room. Eleven's PTSD triggered again and "reeee'd" untill everything in their house broke, but Hopper didin't give a fuck cause he's an emotional stable (albeit feisty and hardheaded) person. She needs some sort of redemption like Steve. Even then, it's gotta be a big fuckin' comeback, cause she easily could've just broken the guns, disarmed, or pushed back any human that made her feel threatened. She snapped a guys neck and squished another in a concrete wall for fucks sake! She is not a little girl! She needs to be treated like a young girl who has powers that can kill people. (which, why the fuck does 'Father' lock them up in a shitty prison-like institute? why would an emotionally unstable, telekinetic, young girl behave in this environment? What would've been better is if they tried their best to give her as close to a normal life as they could give her in there, and the events in the under-world or with her powers lead her to go crazy.) Mike had barely any dialogue. I don't recall him saying anything important besides a few "wait a minute I've solved it" moments. And in the end, why does everything go back to normal? Why don't they have PTSD after that shit? How does it all magically all go dandy, like it never happened? Why aren't they questioned by the government even a little? Why did Bob (who was a good and new character) die in a cliche "oh now it looks like I'm safe" moment? Why are people okay with the Nancy and Jonathan fucking for the sake of "hue hue the conspiracy guy makes a pullout joke and the deserve to be together" (He was a good new character too). Plot armor? Cliche media influence? For the sake of an ending? I still like it, don't get me wrong. It just had too many plot holes, strange character development, and arc choices to make me really thing it was better than season 1. Love the video, a lot of good points. The intro was awesome. : )

[@bonganiyasharahla8488]

Steve is my goat and I feel the same way too, they did him bad damn

[@herebyhereby2874]

Didn't like the first half of the season as much as the first but I thought it ended stronger than the first season.

[@drstevens16]

Yeah once Will gets burned by the fire shit gets intense.

[@goji3755]

Agreed. The season had a slow yet enjoyable start, but once it picked up the pace it got so damn good. Comparing seasons 1 and 2 is like comparing Alien to Aliens. Equally great stories for vastly different reasons.

[@inframatic]

Billy is a walking bully stereotype

[@tigergodX]

Ian with a sprinkle of unspoken racism and you have someone everyone is supposed to hate

[@ragemonkey117]

Ian he's an 80s villian through and through, and i loved it

[@godemperor9122]

He's clearly the next guy to turn good. He's also obviously a closeted homosexual.

[@kharidub]

God Emperor The last point I agree with but I don't think he'll turn good. I don't think he's redeemable

[@yesman121]

That's the point. The entire show is one giant 80's stereotype.

[@cappitalq3395]

I expect for every season of stranger things wills house will have some gimmick that turns the house into a mess and I kind of would like that

[@help_there_is_a_fire4989]

Season 1 - Lights Season 2 - Paper Season 3 - Guns Season 4 - Propane Tanks Season 5 - Dynamite on a fuse Season 6 - Aliens that are going through puberty Season 7 - Hate mail Season 8 - Police Season 9 - etc.

[@Frankenstein_the_watcher]

We all know the real hero of the story: DART. RIP.

[@roji6849]

and saved who?

[@Frankenstein_the_watcher]

Vason Joorhees well he didnt kill any group members does that count

[@roji6849]

barbara never killed anyone but wasn't counted as a hero lol ^^

[@gregoriomassa8333]

He kill meadows . Fuck him

[@leog4314]

Bob****

[@SarcasticJack]

I wish the big monster was a physical thing rather than a shadow.that is the main thing that disappointed me

[@AngryJoeShow]

Yeah I'm not really a big fan of shadow things, but this one was acceptable for me.

[@SarcasticJack]

PyroManiacProductions Productions exactly!

[@TheBenoliPx]

Maybe it'll take a more physical form in the following seasons as it's clearly not the last we've seen of it.

[@SarcasticJack]

Ben Casey ya thats what im hoping. And also hes right jonathon was boring this season. They gotta make him cooler next season

[@TheBenoliPx]

BloodyBatons yeah sadly Jonathan's whole arc this season was getting with Nancy. When you've got so many decent characters to develop in a season some have to go in the background. This season that was pretty much Jonathan, Nancy and even Eleven and Mike for the most part of the season.

[@TheSparkyBoy24]

Elevens "Sister" really pissed me off. Something about how her face looked put me in a shitty mood whenever i saw it.

[@HellspawnPaintedStone]

She was just a bad and annoying character!

[@mrsuarez430]

BangableRoz Yeah and she was dead wrong on how to cope with shit Lol she was trying to help but not all people deal with things in the same way

[@tigergodX]

BangableRoz I don’t think that actress put on that great of a performance either it wasn’t bad just comparatively it wasn’t as good

[@thewalruscaesar]

THANK YOU! By far my least favorite character in the show, simply because characters like Billy are purposely supposed to be hated, but Eleven's sister seemed to be someone we were supposed to like for some reason

[@AssadKhalif]

Her personality is amazing, and her powers are out of this world. What are you talking about? I think she was spot on I can't wait to see more of her in season 3

[@itz_juliannn6702]

Watching this after season 3 is interesting

[@LtGhost-tb3kq]

Itz_juliannn yeah it is

[@bishopthefool]

especially their predictions...

[@Torthrodhel]

I found the dynamic of Hopper and Eleven's rapidly disintegrating situation heartbreaking, and really well done. In that scene both characters are in the wrong, in different ways, and yet for both of them you can completely understand why they're behaving like that.

[@hkay93]

Totally agree, Dustin and Steve are the best characters. I was thinking that exact same thing while watching. I can totally see them being great comedic actors in the future. Steve in particular has fantastically subtle reactions. I will say, however, that the two new (brother and sister) characters lacked a lot of depth. Might be because I'm a 90's guy but I needed a little more out of them. I was expecting more and it totally let me down there.

[@rolandwright4033]

Will is the best

[@Allegiance86]

Dustin and Steve were the breakout stars this episode.

[@raphaelho3551]

I really like the scene when Billy was pushed down by his dad. It shows an element of why Billy is like that. Him even tearing up puts him in a less 2D situation and brings out his character perhaps for the future in other seasons.

[@N00B283]

I think the two new was only meant to create curiosity in 2 season and they are throwing subtle hints to their storyline to come in season 3 all over the episodes

[@JumpingJiraffe]

I think Season 1’s smaller scale made for a better story, but I do think Season 2 was good enough to hold a candle. I just hope Season 3 was twice as long

[@samsonramfos2501]

I think that Season 2 was great but wasn't as unique as the first season. I HATED episode 7 of Season 2 because it wasn't stranger things and was instead a gothic episode. I actually rolled my eyes at 008

[@akaruhitori9792]

Not really Goth, it was punk, something huge in the 80's. Having a series and not having punk is just a big insult to the 80's. This series is obviously a tribute to the 80's. Everything about it screams 80's, ignoring it, like I said, would of been an insult.

[@aloula1010]

Nobody noticed that the 2 seasons are EXACTLY the same? Something is weird, the characters are separated in groups at first and find out different things, then they meet and put it all together, eleven beats the monster and happy ever after... Acting is extraordinary but I'm not looking forward to S3 at all...

[@rarem9260]

alexa shiv haha I thought the same thing. But I kind like when they all connect the dots as I anticipate that. Kind of some suspense

[@Stew91]

@Alex, How is it the same? It's definitely different than season 1. The first season is about Will going miss and the introduction to Eleven, and the second season is about Will's trauma from the upside down and his possession. To say it's the exact same is B.S.

[@dereka415]

Bob was my favorite character because he reminds me of myself in ways as a Dad. I know I'm not the coolest person but that's ok because being a Dad isn't about being cool. Plus he is a nerd which I consider myself. I'm glad he didn't turn out to be bad guy because I was suspicious about him for a little bit.

[@enzomolinari5733]

Duke of Demons i thought he was going to be a spy, he went out like a hero tho

[@OhMyNotThePie]

Episode 7 works on Eleven as a character. Eleven tries to desperately try to find a place where she wouldn't be imprisoned or betrayed. She felt imprisoned by Hopper, and is betrayed by Becky, while she was at Mama's. During episodes seven and six, Becky and Kali even say, "This is your home now". But Eleven doesn't want that, she wants to be in a safe home where she doesn't feel safe. This is why those "dream sequences" that Eleven was having is so important. She realizes from those dreams that there is only one place she will feel safe and loved, Hawkins. Just my take on the "pointless" episode that the fan base seems to hate.

[@Wubba83]

that could have done better/different, nothing wrong for having 11 get some growth away from hawins and her friends. it makes sence but the whole eposide was just out of tone. the dreams , her sister could have been handeld better and not mess the pasing of the season

[@struggleryoutube]

In my opinion Stranger Things 2 was alot more impactful and drew me in at almost 100% of all the episodes. I cared so much more about the characters and really felt their emotions this time around. Fuck that Episode 7 "Eleven Punk" episode though. Seriously did not care about those other characters.

[@middleeasternpennsylvanian8398]

Steve and hopper are my favourite characters

[@jordanb9825]

Marshall aleks Steve, Bob, Max and Dustin are the best!

[@RemixedVoice]

Jordanb98 Hopper is my favorite, and the only time I've cried during the show, are a particular few scenes with him and Eleven. Oh, and of course, when Hopper revives Will, while having PTSD of his daughter unsuccessful revival.

[@sanjeev6262]

Marshall aleks I personally like Dustin/Steve/Hopper. Dustin and Steve are both hilarious and so like able without a doubt. Hopper on the other hand on my OPINION gives some great emotional scenes with Eleven. It gave me Logan vibes with all the arguing and frustration with both of the characters

[@danny19283]

Marshall aleks and bob

[@theburgerking746]

Episode 7 didn't work because there was no variety in the scenes; what makes the show so exciting is that the show constantly switches between different characters and showing interactions between familiar characters. I think the purpose of it was to tease season 3, kind of like the kingpin episode in daredevil season 2 which lays the groundwork for his return in season 3.

[@yousanamesa9725]

The Burger King or it's setting up a spinoff

[@grimmy24]

Ele's trip to Illinois was likely an introduction to characters that will play a larger part in season 3. But, more importantly, that whole episode (and the previous episode) were meant to develop Ele's sense of what 'home' is. I didn't feel the Illinois episode was pointless. It's an integral part of Ele's character. Bob Newby will live forever as the hero we didn't deserve, but so desperately needed.

[@B4raCk0s4Ma]

I feel like I'm the only one who thinks Season 2 is better than Season 1. I really liked Season 1, but didn't think it was amazing or anything, a solid 8/10. Season 2, however, was phenomenal. I felt the acting was even better, especially with Will playing a major role, and the editing, directing, and writing were top notch, big improvements from last season. I felt much more emotionally invested and all the characters felt important. The only things I didn't like were the randomness of episode 7 and how everything went back to normal at the end, the exact same way the first season ended.

[@ppsarrakis]

i agree the acting was better in season 2.

[@struggleryoutube]

I agree with all that you're saying. But TRUST ME 90% of the people who actually watched both seasons like season 2 alot more.

Preston Garvey ya he became the new lucas from season one lol

[@struggleryoutube]

They called him emo mike. He's gonna be way better in s3 don't worry.

[@elisecarlen-jones9815]

Preston Garvey think in the mind of the character! His first love sacrifices herself to save him and his friends from a monster from another dimension! (Kinda tough) and his best friend was taken by that same monster to another dimension and nobody knew if he was alive or dead for a week! And then after El’s disappearance, Mike doesn’t even know if she is alive or not for nearly a year, while dealing with a friend who’s slowly becoming possessed and parents that clearly don’t give a crap about him and are so unsupportive. Seems like some good reasons to be a little emo and short tempered! Heck many teenagers are similar to him with absolutely NO reason behind it. So think in the mind of the character before addressing this stuff.

[@sk70091]

He was so good with Will though!

[@donsperrazza2151]

Two sittings, but like two hours apart. I watched the entire series - season one and season two - from start to finish over an entire night and I didn't even go to bed until around 7 in the morning. I agree with everyone that episode 7 of ST2 was kind of unnecessary - important as it was in terms of development for the character - but overall S2 was just as good as S1 with extremely higher stakes.

[@TheNakedNinja48]

Episode 7 isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Plus what happens during that episode carries over into the later episodes so there was a point to it.

[@virgilvangsgaard4306]

Episode 7 was the most meaningless shit ever with boring characters. Had no influence on anything or anyon. It didnt even feel like stranger things.

[@TheNakedNinja48]

Virgil Vangsgaard I can say that it brought in a new character (Eight) but I agree, the other characters were pretty boring and cliche

[@arturiaarthus8367]

people dont understand, i suppose. i loved episode 7 and im looking forward to more of that. it felt like pure 80's through and through, and actually fit perfectly into the season itself, and it'll certainly have more meaning in season 3 and onward, as you said.

[@brianboardwell1986]

Virgil Vangsgaard We learned that there's more people out there with different powers and that Brenner might be alive. Who knows. Maybe we'll see that gang again.

[@MatthewGilligan]

Elevens charactar development was the only positive of that episode imo. It's a big positive, and makes it worth watching, but it's deffo the weakest ep of the show, by far.

[@Drax514]

Awesome video joe, I especially liked your themed intro! Waited eagerly to hear ya'lls opinions, and hopefully it will be the same when Season 3 hits!

[@glOckcOma]

Mike's mom = BEST GRILL!!! SOO HAWT!!!!

[@gregrothschilds8453]

The only thing I disagree with is that the Mind flayer will possess someone again and the reason why is they know how to get it out of ppl, which was burning it out. I think what’s gonna happen is they’re gonna bring back 8 without her crew and she and 11 are gonna possibly deal with the father character. Mike, will, and the others will be in high school and probably deal with their own problems. Meanwhile the Mind flayer is in the background building an army that will at some point reveal itself at the end of season 3. Season 4 should be about everyone coming together and fighting the Mind flayer and killing it. This is just my opinion though. Also if there’s another snow ball dance you better not leave my boi Dustin alone, YOU BETTER GET HIM A GIRL.

[@himbe23]

I just watched both seasons for the first time this weekend, and I absolutely love this show. I think one of my biggest problems with season 2, besides Hopper forgetting about Eleven when the creatures were loose, was when Eleven Reunited with Mike. He tried contacting her for 353 days, constantly dealt with the reality that she might have been dead or lost in the Upside Down, carried so much grief, and when he found out that Hopper was hiding her from him- he wasn't as furious as I'd expected. He obviously cares for her and holds her dearly, and that scene wasn't as emotional as I expected. A normal person would be overwhelmed with the joy and relief of finding out someone you cared so much for was okay, and would be so angry in the moment with Hopper- he'd probably lose teeth! Try imagining losing a kid, lover, or relative- and the person you trusted the most hid them from you. Hopper pretty much knowingly let Mike suffer with an unbearable pain for almost a year. Hopper could have just said "you can't see her, but she's safe and well," but he didn't even do that. I was thinking Mike would absolutely lose his mind, and never forgive Hopper. I expected him to be more emotional meeting Eleven. The person you so dearly cared about, who was missing for a year- was okay! I really expected a more emotional response from him. I would imagine Mike being so scared and petrified by the thought of Eleven being trapped or dead! And to find out that Hopper showed no empathy or care for Mike's suffering was surprising! I really was expecting a more emotional reunion and a more furious Mike. It really made me like Hopper a lot less, seeing him not care for those who trusted him and loved him. What do you guys think?

[@phelan120]

My prediction and hope for season. 3: Steve didn't get accepted to collage due to horrible essay mentioned in the first season so stays in town and starts looking for career opportunities. He is Hoppers new deputy.

[@jaredfogle4079]

Episode 7 of season 2 was garbage.

[@nonameisaname8480]

No shit Sherlock

[@daddy4164]

The whole max character arc felt forced and unnecessary like Lucas being the only black kid I got but him also dating a white girl in an all white town in the 80s with no one staring is like come on really...like I think this show could of been a good nostalgic catch 22 of sorts because it went famous for its nostalgia mid life crisis jizz fest and I think this season could of been the first show I can think of that uses nostalgia as a reminder if you think the 80s and 90s were "The time to be alive" ya might have forgotten some stuff.

I know but like you would think it would be a lot more cringey than it actually was

[@Satsujinki1973]

The Eleven/Jane solo episode was supposed to show her learning who her family really is. She got out there, found her mom, and her sister by association, and learned they are not her family as she believed. She learned her family is Hopper, and Mike. I also suspect that 8 and potentially other sisters will play a bigger part in season 3. Perhaps returning to Hawkins and stirring up trouble.

[@iXiClub]

Eleven found her independence and courage in that little arc where she met her "sister." I loved it for those reason, as well as planting seeds for the future.

[@IgorJCorrea]

AlejoConejo2209 not just the ones you buy, all crates can't give you epic cards, and you need to reach certain levels to upgrade the cards, wich means anyone have to play to use the upgraded cards... we just have to see how much

[@rebelfriend1818]

but crates give you the currency to craft the epics faster... its still p2w with dumb objectively better upgrades which make the new player experience even worse

[@bigdaddycremecheese4911]

Just gonna say my main issue about this new season is They didnt go full on if billy was a racist or was telling max to stay away from boys period and if your gonna allude to someone being racist go full on with it don't fucking tease it then stop because someone might get their feelings hurt when they are watching a tv show with one black character set in the 80s

[@what2039]

Big Daddy Creme Cheese but he's not racist though....

[@bigdaddycremecheese4911]

Loxias Mystic Well a lot of people think he was and that the show was alluding to some racial tension he had with her talking to Lucas because he was black but like I said they left it to open to interpretation he never outright said don't talk to black people or just don't talk to boys and if they were trying to say tell us he was racist then they shouldn't have beat around the bush with it and if they were trying to say she shouldn't talk to boys then make it very clear that's what he meant and not leave it so open because the new it remake did the exact same thing and if your gonna do something racial might as well go full force with it don't fucking tease it then act like it didn't happen and we all just move on because the SJWs who will rip anything in front of them apart won't

[@what2039]

Big Daddy Creme Cheese The character happens to be black. He was the character who was mostly involved with max. If the character was white. I'm pretty sure billy would react the same way. It all goes back to him being abused so no he's not racist

[@bigdaddycremecheese4911]

Loxias Mystic Like I said you can't leave it open to interpretation a lot of people that reviewed the show thought he was a racist and that he was specifically talking about Lucas because he was black and if was then make it clear he was because if he wasn't then why even have it alluded to he wasn't it's pointless and makes you look like you wanted to have a racist character but were scared of some special snowflake being offended

[@akmal94ibrahim]

Big Daddy Creme Cheese So your whole argument here is because you don't want retarded SJWs to start yelling? Fuck them.

[@haedencouturier3519]

I thought Mike was great this season

[@thorakvideos2495]

I watched all season 2 b2b and I just thought that Mike was less present and when he was present, he always seemed to try and push away Max. Now, I get why he would do that in the beginning, but when you here it the 3rd 4th time during the 2nd half of the season, it becomes annoying...

[@Dexilan]

He's going through his moody teenager phase. I thought it was cute.

[@thorakvideos2495]

I thought Dustin was amazing this season, I found his character a bit forced in the first season, but here he really comes together. but, i guess he is the one in the group who has the "idiot" character trait, there always has to be one...

[@haedencouturier3519]

Dexilan Plus, you know, he didn't know if the person he loved was dead or alive, and was worried that Max was gonna replace El in the Party, so him acting moody made sense.

[@thedangler5178]

[@xXLEGOdragonXx]
