Everyone say thank you american indigenous people for cultivating corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cacao, pumpkin, squash, and anything i missed. Makes life more meaningful globally
i will say this season wasnt my favorite but the END SEQUENCE…. that was the most beautiful part for me
i like some aspects of the season- hated others. i don’t like what they did with lila and five because 1. it’s only purpose was to create conflict and 2. the actual conflict with diego got resolved extremely easily. i think klaus had a silly storyline this season and i wish we could have seen more of the transition between going from an extreme safety freak to immediately back on drugs. luther was silly this season!! i think he was fun. first time in a while i’ve genuinely enjoyed luther’s character. diego and lila were dysfunctional and it added to their charm for a while but once she goes off into the subway with five, all goes to shit. diego and luther’s little storyline with the cia was unnecessary imo. diego constantly suspecting lila of cheating with (unbeknownst to him) five, only for her to actually cheat with five was… wow.
the whole ben jennifer the cleanse keepers plot was a bit messy but i understand why. i liked how they don’t actually save the world in the end and how they accepted that they were the problem the entire time.
i think majority of the issues with these season EASILY would have been resolved with a TEN EPISODE SEASON!! not a six episode season!! that’s not a season that’s a WEEK. all of the storylines could have been fleshed out wayyyyy more, like i feel like i barely got any time for any of the characters before moving to the next and all of their storylines felt incomplete or unnecessary.
ALL THAT BEING SAID I DID ENJOY THIS SEASON AND I THINK THE END SEQUENCE ALONE TIES UP THE SERIES AS A WHOLE BEAUTIFULLY
final scene with the hargreeves was pretty ok, i like how they ended laughing and insulting each other as they should. i wish ben and jennifer had a resolution that was good. I LIKED REGGIES RESOLUTION! i think abigail was interesting while the jenes pissed me off. and ily sy grossman character of all time
Okay, you see these two idiots over there? Those are my brothers. Now, they're kind of stepping all over the crime scene, asking dumb questions, getting in my way.
I genuinely don't understand why people hate the new season. Spoilers to follow.
To start, the Five and Lila subplot was shit. I won't front - it existing outside of the plot made it easy for me to just act like it didnt happen. Diego and Lila and Five deserved better and it sounds like the actors knew it. But if a bad romance subplot could ruin a whole show, I'd hate a lot more things.
I'm on the fence about Klaus's plot - felt like sidelining him and was questionable. But also a natural part of Klaus's life. Lila had her kids, Allison had Claire, Diego his family, on and on. Klaus's whole life was avoiding being sober and then a huge focus on sobriety. This is his thing. All y'all loved his drugged antics and it gets messy and sad especially when facing it post rock bottom and change.
I see a lot of Ben being unimportant complaints - Ben was always auxilary and a mcguffin there to bond or split the group - Umbrella Ben was a concept, a guilt source, Klaus's conscience, Klaus's id...never a character and dead before the show ever began. Sparrow Ben was literally never part of this family and plot about the family embracing him would have been nice, but him having his own solo quest because he is alone in this world was also fine. Jennifer was a plot device - and in a comic book show about another apocalypse thats not neccessarily a bad thing - especially with a group of dynamic characters I care about on the board.
I see a lot of complaints about the lack of fun villains. What was Sy (I know who was in him but that performance was fun)? Gene and Jean? Those are classic villains that are right up there with the Swedes and the Handler. Hazel & Cha Cha are still standouts but thats not cause these guys sucked.
I see a lot of ending complaints - going from "it was all for nothing" to "it was harmful". If it was harmful for you please be safe and that's a personal decision each time - but also that's media sometimes. It wasn't an irresponisble move like The Magicians or 13 Reasons or other things that just don't consider the audiences needs in order to gain shock value and I don't think they did anything irresponsible with it.
(I am a survivor of unalive attempts, one right after magicians so I get it. And I'm a year sober re: Klaus stuff.)
But, I loved the ending. I don't think it was all for nothing. They saved thier families! They saved everyone! The whole world! Universe! Future and past! Their moms! Hundreds of people who died in their fight to save it, on either side because without the conflict caused by them they're lives were different! I wish the Flash, or Winchesters, or anyone else who keeps ruining lives and causing death and strife sometimes on an apocalypse scale or multiverse timesplit scale had, at literally any point, said "Actually we should value this over my mom/brother/self"...like the scale was apocalyptic. That has a cost. And wow they fixed more than even I hoped. The families? Nice. Hazel and his diner wife are where I got emotional - very nice touch to show everyone.
Why isn't there a kugelblitz? Either the deletion of the timelines and that energy removed the issue Golden Compass style or its a fun comic book show with time assassins and a new element called marigold.. take your pick. It's never been that deep.
The marigolds at the end were probably not thought about as much as anyone on here has. I thought it was just a fun finale goodbye, like getting a bouqet at curtain. I liked that Ben and Lila both had one.
Genuinely confused and had to write to the void and see if I'm alone or crazy. I recommend a lot of people read and watch more media for literacy and stop hoping for plots that are fanservice as they often tank good things and fanfiction and your imagination remain goated, often better, or touch grass and realize the silly fun comic book apocalypse multiverse romp may just be a lil dumb and that's okay...if you read all that I'd love feedback 🩷
And I loved so much more than this stuff! Claire being an actualized young adult and loving her uncle and mom and being a teen? Viktor getting the validation he craved. Diego getting his skills and lust for life back. The fucking cut from baby shark to "He's dying" and so many shots/editing/music choices that highlight the dark comedy this show is.
The kids buy a van, unmask the evil head of Hawkins lab and adopt a dog. It is then revealed that Stranger Things is simply a Scooby Doo prequel series!
hey fellow americans. can you answer me two questions i’m curious about something. did your parents or other mentors show you how to make ojos de dios/god’s eyes as a kid and are you latine or not
