#anyway i really like stranger things BUT [insert stupidly long post about things that annoy me]

[ashdumpsterpile]

I've literally never seen a single episode of stranger things tell me your opinions

Here's some stale cold takes from ur local fandom blog:

Stranger Things is actually really really good show all the way up to the end of season 2. Thereafter it becomes a kinda mediocre show that only gets as much hate as it does because the first two seasons (especially the first) is so strong.

Steve Harrington did nothing wrong in season 1. At best you can nail him on an accessory to slutshaming that lasts like a few hour before he backpedals. (He also did nothing wrong in season 2 or season 3 for that matter, not that I'm seeing people say that he did.)

Mike Wheeler starts being unbearably annoying starting mid-season 2 and I can already tell by his haircut that he's going to be even more unbearable in season 4.

Nancy Wheeler is one of my least favorite characters, but literally every piece of criticism I hear about her is sexist and stupid and you're all wrong.

Actually the entire Wheeler family is annoying.

Eleven peaked in season 2 and she's only going to get worse. Her character arc was interesting and Millie Bobby Brown is an exceptionally good actress, but after season 2 her character is completely trashed except for a few cute moments between her and Max.

Byeler is cute but it never going to happen. Yes I ship it. No I'm not delusional.

As long as we're talking about ships, there isn't a single canon pairing in the show that I enjoy EXCEPT for season 2 Jopper and season 2 Lumax.

If we're talking noncanonical ships, Steve x Nancy x Jonathan is big brained and if the writers had balls they would make it canon. Again, Byeler is cute. Elmax is even cuter.

Noah Schnapp is the best child actor on the show and they're wasting him. Kudos for giving him something to do in season 2 though.

Billy isn't interesting stop pretending he's interesting. I'm kidding we don't know each other you can do whatever the fuck you want. But he's not interesting.

Literally every outfit they put the characters in post season 2 are ugly as fuck. ASH IT'S THE 80S-shut ur fuck everyone looked FINE in the first two seasons. The only outfit in season 3 that I liked were the gayass uniforms Steve and Robin got to wear. All the season 4 promos are disgusting and make me want to throw up and NO I'M NOT BEING DRAMATIC GIVE THESE KIDS A HAIRCUT AND BUY THEM CLOTHES THAT DON'T LOOK LIKE WHAT MY MOM THINKS I THOUGHT SHE WORE IN THE 80S.

Robin and Steve were the highlight of season 3 and I can’t remember a single goddamn thing from that season (I’m lying the Byeler breakup plays on repeat in my head 24/7 I mean when Mileven broke up in that season, Mike looked a little bummed out BUT in the Byeler break up they’re literally standing IN THE RAIN and Mike all but CALLS WILL GAY and the looks on BOTH OF THEIR FACES ARE ABSOLUTELY TRAGIC AND-) is the interactions between Robin and Steve it was literally so good and the only in character dialogue.

If you don't read Will Byers as queer, you weren't paying attention.

Actually, on that note, Will Byers is the most interesting character on the show besides Eleven. They literally had so many parallels and there were so many links between them and the fact that they aren't best friends and don't already have sibling energy was siblingphobic of the writers. Do better in season 4 or else.
