https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1192053011/tales-from-the-loop-roleplaying-in-the-80s-that-ne/posts/1945075 It is an RPG written and designed to play out the conflicts in the classed 1980s kids sci-fi movies. It switches between teh fantastical and banal nice, from all reviews. And the art work is beyond evocative. It is a great RPG for people who never tried one(though I would not recommend running it if you have never run games). | ||

@Vindicare605 definitely a good cast choice. I was a bit skeptical at first but he managed to give life to his character super well. Not much else to say just that it gets my rrrrecomandation + Show Spoiler + #nojusticeforbarb | ||

Only critiques: + Show Spoiler + Some of the fanservice (obviously not FANSERVICE) was a little over the top and too on the nose to objections or things fans wanted. Putting Eleven in a cabin and then literally on a bus with her own story arc that also had very little to do with the climax of the season (beyond teaching her how to tap into the dark side to defeat the eye of Sauron) and instead planted s3 seeds, then neatly depositing her back in town right on time for the last episode felt pretty weird. Then there's the utterly hilarious use of Barb (well, Barb's memory) as a vehicle to get Nancy and Jonathan to have sex, with the entire subplot having no effect whatsoever on the climax of the season to get a paragraph of news narration in the finale. Still, overall great stuff! | ||

Still, overall great stuff! Concerning one of your main critiques: + Show Spoiler + I think the reason they did all that extra stuff with Eleven was to keep her out of the primary conflict until the end. She's obviously super powerful now and if she were involved from the get go there never would have been any real danger. Instead they took the opportunity to use her to set up where they can go with Season 3. I think they took that route because they couldn't figure out how to properly write her into the Upside Down for the majority of the season without it feeling even worse. So instead we got treated to some training montages and she still showed up for the finale. It's kind of like the DBZ problem all over again, if Goku can just solve everything right away it removes the sense of conflict and Eleven for how powerful she is fits that same problem. They're going to keep having to give her "side stuff" to do in order to keep her from just solving everything right away, or they can up the ante on the villains but that just makes it so that she's the ONLY person who can really do anything and that would detract greatly from the appeal of the other characters. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Season 2 is almost as good as season 1, my biggest complaint is too much time spent building up for the next season. for me personally, they overdo the 80s stuff just a bit too much. The possession felt more like a demon possession at times. I just don't feel much for the monsters this time around. That ball at final episode is quite a nice break, big love to that part. Can't wait for season 3! | ||

Yeah, I can definitely see it. + Show Spoiler + I just think there ought to have been other ways to stop her being a game breaker, like using her powers to dissolve the monster and being transported into the Upside-Down had drained her powers substantially last season. Think about how interesting it would have been to see her cope with basically losing a limb; it would also have meant her exertions last finale actually had a cost, rather than just "oh let's walk over to that exit over there." It just seems like there were ways that would still have allowed her to have a role in the A plot of the series besides being a last-minute McGuffin. Still, most of her scenes worked well enough, and her interactions with Hopper felt really genuine. Just...not episode 7. At least for me. | ||

One thing I find confusing is how they managed to get like 20 actors who nobody has ever heard from (I only know Wynona Ryder and the fat lad who's shaggin' her this season) and get such consistently great acting out of them. I can't recall a single dialogue that made me cringe or go 'yeah, I don't but that at all'. Wynona was unbelievable in Season 1, and even the child actors were really believable. | ||

I think its incredible how they managed to find so many good actors, but not unheard of. How they managed to find a complete cast of good (unknown) child actors is beyond me. Must be incredible directing. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + i'm not hard to please so for me it's a great success at the moment they kept everything that made the season 1 something i liked a lot , even if it's the damn purpose of stranger things, it's how the show is structured as a video games haha - we went to half life to resident evil with hopper as chris redfield real quick also how the different panel are like levels in a video games, rarely been so apparent also i agree, these unknown actors turned out really good, even if they are young they are really talented | ||
