Stranger Things (Netflix) TV Show • Page 189

Aw, beans.

 

I’m down.

 

I figured that was basically a given after last season

 

It’s gonna be so funny watching the new season in 2028

 

8 movies with about one movie worth of decent story.

 

Yep. They were already stretching storylines to fill empty space in season 4

 

Just release them one at a time if it's 8 movies. Get this ball rolling man

 

Truly, if they released them 1 at a time every week (hell, maybe every two!) I think people would lose their mind in a good way. You’re constantly in the discourse without fading into irrelevance after a day.

 

A weekly release would be great, too bad netflix will probably never consider it.

 

I’ll watch it but I’m sick of this show and (some of) its cast, and so ready for it to be over and for (some of) their careers to die.

 

Another day, another weekly vs. binge discussion lmao

 

Binge is ideal, go at your own pace.

 

I think the ideal method is to release the first 3 episodes on launch day, wait 8 days for episode 4, release episode 6 the next day, but hold on episode 5 until 11:59 EDT on the 14th of the following month

 

I think they wait to 2085 and release it 100 years later

 

I really don't care about binge vs weekly (i have my preference and so does everyone else) but I really don't like hearing the mini movie comments. That was the worst part of the last season with the pacing and the monster episodes. The advantage of steaming platforms is a lack of restraint regarding episode time, but there's a limit to me about how much the traditional structure and runtime can be tested.

 

This just makes sense.

 

I get that it might be problematic to find a good cutoff point for an episode, but at some point you have to wonder why they don't just increase the episode count.

 

My favorite airplay scenario is the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, where the first episode aired is one of the last chronologically and the second season takes place in the middle of the first season.

Then again, that show's entire run is a social experiment on its audience.

 

That sounds sick haha

 

The best, or worst, or whatever is the adaptation of an arc called The Endless Eight, which comprises most of Season 2.

The cast is stuck in a time loop and to properly adapt and have the audience share their dread, all eight episodes are roughly exactly the same with only minor differences.

 

did she say they'd be movie length? or was that a comment on the process of making the episodes, that it was like making movies?

 

The new season will be about their children taking down the big bad. They'll have to juggle that with paying for their parents nursing home fees.
