something something, Dustin’s time traveled

@anotherjlynn noticed Lucas’s s3 shirt changes, @erikiara80 added that he repeats gestures three times, and it made me go down a rabbit hole; comparison of the pic is from the og post, and Doc Brown from my BTTFgate post

空手 — karate ; キッド— kid (Japanese)

Karate Kid in ST has been haunting me.

I knew that it’s a martial art movie, and saw no connection to ST ideas. Now that we suspect a time loop involving the shirt with the name of the movie (and an apparent BTTF ref), I wondered, whether I’d missed something. As far as I knew, the franchise had nothing to do with time travelling.

However… Turned out that it’s not exactly right 👀

something something about dreams and a coma, something something passed out Mike in 5x04, something something a trip to China sounds nice

And here’s a curious match with T85:

something something Saturday morning cartoon

Also “to do something different” in the part 3, is it like the DB wanted to do something different in their season 3? “Do a flying people movie”? “It’s like I could fly” you mean?

This is not the first ref. related to KK, I once went down Ralph Macchio rabbit hole, an actor from KK, and found out that this scene is an homage to the episode “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place” of the series “Happily divorced” about a couple where the ex-husband is a closeted gay man. Ik I’ve shared it, but it is so mind blowing, I believe it deserves more attention!

⚠️ but I recommend you to check the whole post, there are more juicy details:

Also I loved these finds about Karate Kid:

does it, by any chance, remind you of any show a fanbase of which would be bitching about having only first two seasons grounded and realistic, and about continuous reheating of their nachos?

yesterday I was rewatching Back to the Future 1, and what I didn’t expect was Hawkins’ downtown being so heavily inspired by it! and ofc it’s the library being so central to the whole storytelling, same as that clock tower in the court house 🏫

[nightnut]

so, I’ve been associating Hawkins with hawks all the way through, however —

I was yesterday years old to be introduced to the associating it with Steven Hawking! Gosh, the name was so on the nose this whole time! How come it had never crossed my mind before omg It’s literally like the city of Steven Hawking,

Hawking’s!

Wormholes, black holes and time travelling? It was all there! (And here’s👇 BTTF, a DeLorean)

bonus, as it looks like this dialogue is a quote of DD (given that further Mr Clarke explains like the teacher does to Donnie)

this is so conformitygate coded, as Marty goes almost literally through the screen into another time 🌀 (through the screen in a theatre/meta sense of the word)
