Stranger Things

I’m just starting season 3 of Stranger Things and, ugh, I have feelings and I must write about them.

TL;DR: The Duffers are not prepared for the challenge the Stranger Things season format presents and the characters suffer for it.

So here, my complaint dump under the cut.

That was your last warning.

Madara should have got a flashback like Hashirama did from his point of view. It would have been interesting to see how Madara was like as his clan’s leader and more interaction between him and Izuna.

One shot.

There are things in life that you get one chance at. Whether you miss that shot, mess it up, remember it differently with time, or look back and smile, some things.... only offer themselves... ONCE. That first kiss, a first impression, a final we love you, or a visit to let someone know in person that the moment matters. Sometimes, that once in a lifetime moment is especially impactful because of the challenges that come with it. Thing is, when you look back at those moments, and have to face that you missed them, because it was ... difficult... will you be okay with the changes that came with that choice? If you take the chance and it doesn't go quite as hoped, will you at least find comfort in knowing you tried? Whatever your thoughts, just remember, not all once in a lifetime shots, come with a full color brochure. Sometimes, those moments head your way with a subtle smile, a twisted conversation, and even silent heartache. Pay attention, and notice the little things because well... they might be the only sign you get before one of those life changing "one shot" moments.
