Unfortunately that’s like most people outside.

Why are you listening to them when you could just watch the show and make your own opinions? Maybe that’s how the duffer bros intended it, but that’s absolutely not how it came across the screen. I think they got a little high on their own supply because absolutely nothing whatsoever in the show or anything eleven did conveyed the idea that she was supposed to represent childhood magic. I think they had just read IT maybe or were confusing ST for for a random Stephen King story because there was nothing of that at all in the show. It wasn’t that kind of show, any metaphors or analogies are surface level. So you can read their botched interpretation that clearly didn’t come through in the final product or you can just watch the ending with media literacy and see that literally every character remaining gets the happiest possible outcome.

The stories are entertaining but the messaging and world building are lazy and inconsistent. And then yeah the books are filled to the brim with the sort of casual racism borne not only of ignorance but from a lack of interest in educating yourself in the first place. It’s just full of holes which is fine for kids books, but the belligerence is grating.

The fact that she’s “dead” means she’s finally free, and I’m pretty sure Mike’s speech about what if she’s still alive was a strong hint that eventually he’d find her again. Every character got the best possible outcome all considered.

Sure but nobody important cares and he’s just repeating himself ad nauseum.

Why do people keep listening to this guy?

I disagree with basically that whole interpretation. And the ending was explicitly hopeful. I think you just took it personal that what you thought was gonna happen didn’t.

Yeah but when they cut the corpus callosum it’s like they’re unfused but still one body. We’re all Pacific Rim gundams.

I don’t think it’s more likely but from what I understand he’s got another boat with a Japanese name so it’s much more likely named after the deity.

Depressingly? It was fully happily ever after. And it just did the same thing every other season did, largely disregard previous seasons to introduce a new big bad for the season leading up to a big monster fight. It was incredibly par for the course, 70 percent style with 30 percent substance. It’s not high cinema but it’s entertaining tv.

What it implies is that decision making is entirely subconscious and the whole conscious experience of making a decision is just our brains way of providing a sense of agency where none seems to actually exist. You really wanna bake your noodle look into split brain experiments. There might be more than one person in our heads.

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.” -James Nicoll

The entirety of the show is like that. It’s not like a deep thinky clever show, it’s a series of 80’s horror movie references tossed in a blender.

We get our short attention span jones from reading headlines and comments.

I’ve got a 2060 and i5 10400. I’m boned.

Holy shit that’s nanners. And this has been observed? I gotta read that paper.

Research and brain scans indicate that your choices are already made and decided in the decision making portion of your brain before you’re even consciously aware that you have a decision to make in the first place. The sum total of individual experienced reality is just your brain post-hoc rationalizing your sensory input and reactions.

Nah balls to that. This is simple paradox of tolerance shit, anti-social ideology doesn’t get a platform in the marketplace of ideas.

Holy shit that reads like the kinda dumb shit I’d write in high school on drugs.
