I really gotta shut up sometimes..
Hi, I'm back. I'm alive, believe it or not. Welcome back to my rambling that literally no one asked for. Drum roll..
I just got done watching Stranger Things: Tales from 85'. Let's talk about it.
Now, I enjoyed the show. The voice-acting was spot-on, the art style was literally beautiful, and the plot was very interesting. It really shows how the Party's lives were going after Season 2—the whole point of spin-offs basically. And, with the Season 2 Premier coming out in December, I hope we get to see more of our favourites like Joyce, Hopper, and obviously, Billy. And even some short glimpses of newer characters like Eddie or Robin with their lives before Season 3 and 4. I love Niki's character. She's one of my favourites now because she's so funny and relatable. Hope we get to see her again.
Now, when I checked Tales from 85' on our beloved Tumblr, I found out that.. literally no one liked Tales from 85'. I'm sorry—WHAT?
Yes, I understand they forgot some things in the show like Dustin's teeth and vice versa. But, the thing that stuck out to me the most was Mike's fucking appearance. Again, I'm sorry.. are you fucking dumb?
When I saw Mike, I immediately knew it was Mike. Not fucking Will. Will has a bowl cut or whatever his hair is—certified nerd. And, yes, I damn well know Mike isn't a good boyfriend. But, this is just after the events of Season 2. Remember.. when El came back to the Party and they were still kids. Mike obviously didn't want to lose her back then because he genuinely loved her back then. As Mike grew up, they became distant, and in the end, the dude just ended up losing her ONCE AGAIN. I DIDN'T WATCH SEASON 5 FOR GOOD REASON. LET ME STAY IN THE PAST, BITCH.
Anyway.. seeing Steve in Tales from 85' was also a very good touch. Loved his character and everything. And, can I just say the ending was genuinely super beautiful? The art, the suspense, the sounds, everything. The blue flowers was—god, I can't wait for Season 2. Also, Dustin's little enemies to lovers romance with Rosario was actually quite cute.
Yes, I do understand a fandom does need other opinions and whatnot. But, I thought people would like Tales from 85'. Can't change people's perspectives now, can we? Thanks for listening. Bye. Love ya.
