What’s up with the random upsurge of Twin Peaks memes? I just started my rewatch 2 months ago and suddenly it’s super relevant again? Am I taking crazy pills?
the last season was so ass

Twin Peaks is both cemented in a very particular time and also timeless

It’s a good show, Bront

I feel like Stranger Things went from must watch tv to not even sure I’ll ever watch the finale simply by word of mouth. Is the final season really that bad? I was excited for it at the end of season 4, then it seemed like the season came out and it cratered the show in 2 days.
Schal330@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Honestly I thought the finale was good. Great? No.
Thinking back on the show I remember it positively. I don’t think I’ll ever be massively eager to rewatch it ever again, but if someone asked me if they should watch it I would say sure give it a go.
It wasn’t a catastrophic ending like Game of Thrones was. That is a show I wouldn’t even bother to sit down and watch knowing how it ended.

After seeing so many catastrophic endings over the years: lost, Dexter, how I met your mother, game of thrones…
I’m fine with the ending of Stranger Things
FLP22012005@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I completely agree. I struggle to think of similar shows that did end great.
BlueOysterCultist@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
I think if I were to do it again, I’d call it good after season 1
Same feelings as you on it, but I think season 1 held the magic as far as rewatching needs goes and is pretty self contained

I sometimes wonder if I made the right decision by only watching GoT through season 7. Then I get reminded to just appreciate what I got 🤣
Is Dunk and Egg good? I saw season 1 on disc at Walmart the other day to learn that it exists.

Unpopular take: I actually found it pretty good. All characters got their screen time and the main characters all got a resolution that felt satisfying to me. The action scenes were good. I even liked the revelation of what the upside down really is, though I would’ve preferred a slightly different version of that explanation.

Different unpopular take: it was the same quality all the way through and that was 5% cool monster ideas, 20% average TV, 75% “shmacting” through long exposition.

Is the final season really that bad?
No. It is perfectly fine to great, in parts.
There is some media literacy required to understand a few things that are called plot holes, aren’t, is the worst I could say about it.
The hate is about as real as that of the ragebait videogame situations.

What have been called a plot hole?
To me, while not great, it felt like a neat clean up of all the threads that had been started.
::spoiler Mild Spoiler The only problem is that it solves the question of Vekna by pushing it back in time, so there are still questions there ::

It had nothing that made the first season(s) interesting. It’s not horrible, just incredibly boring.
chuckleslord@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes, it’s bad. It’s not super bad, or anything (this isn’t GoT) but the more you think about it, the less sense it makes. It mostly just rushed, not well thought out conclusions. Some conclusions create glaring plot holes (the upside-down explanation makes it impossible for the Russians to have opened a portal to the upside-down, for instance).
Mostly it commits the most egregious sin of not taking itself seriously. End of S4, shit is completely fucked in Hawkins with the ground being ripped up by the massive portals. Beginning of S5, the portals have been tacked over with sheet metal and never once matter.

I was really into the series while it aired. It was so long until the final season came out I no longer cared if I watched or not. I did though. It was okay but nothing spectacular.
LucidNightmare@anarchist.nexus 1 month ago
From someone who watched it from the beginning, Season 5 was fucking terrible. Full stop.
I’m not even someone who goes into watching something as something to dissect and analyze. The fan theories were much better endings than that garbage of a season.
Watch until Season 4, then pretend Season 5 doesn’t exist. It’s among Game of Thrones now. No one really talks about Stranger Things BECAUSE the last season was that bad.
Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
It was mid, not a cluster fuck like the last season of game of thrones.
peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Eh outside of being set in the 80s I dont see the resemblance. Also that was a decent ending for a show that was so hyped up and probably shoulda ended a season sooner.

Season 2 of Twin Peaks was ass though, only picks up when Lynch rejoins
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 1 month ago
That was intentional, they forced him to make it into a two season show and he showed them what happens when you try to force David Lynch to do something that compromises his vision.

All I know about Stranger Things is this sad as fuck song.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 month ago
I mean, they did originally only intend for it to be 2 seasons but it got super popular so they continued making it even after they clearly ran out of ideas.
qarbone@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Just stop tho. If you don’t have ideas, then don’t pretend like you do. For years!
You don’t turn 2 seasons into 5 without either making new ideas, or thinking “yeah, I gotta stop. This is nothing.” And, if the new ideas are bad, then start thinking, “yeah, I gotta stop. This is nothing.”

I didn’t like Twin peaks. Slower than molasses. How is stranger things at all similar?

Am I alone in thinking Stranger Things wasn’t modeled after Twin Peaks in any way, shape, or form?
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Yeah seemed to very obviously be based on Stephen King stories
