unpopular opinion but I really don’t think the skating rink scene showing the date as Will’s birthday is that big of a deal. like it’s not meant to be subtext that people forgot Will’s birthday or the big proof that the Duffers don’t know or care about their own world or characters, it’s a production goof and I can so easily understand how it happened

#maybe I’m sympathetic bc I feel like I could easily make a mistake like this lol #I’ve helped create graphics before and sometimes you’re rushing so much through the process you don’t get approval on every little detail #and you don’t remember every detail #i bet anything the vfx folks either threw out a date I. the ballpark of spring break and no one caught it #or they asked for a date and one in the ballpark was quickly given to them and director and differs just didn’t realize that date had been #used before #chances are the editors and vfx folks don’t know that writing detail #and the duffers are more focused on the overall edit to notice such a minor detail #i think sometimes people don’t understand how many people work on productions and how things get passed around #and how not everyone is clued into every detail #especially seasom to seasom #or understand how FAST things go even on productions that aren’t overly rushed #details like this aren’t focused on in production #but then they’re spotted by eagle eye fans who have the time to obsess over the show #and remember details like wills birthday #and then they either get too much meaning assigned to them and treated like it’s intentional #or they’re used as proof that the people involved are talentless hacks or don’t care #like you guys have to learn to let things go sometimes mistakes happen in production #major pet peeve lol
