i just watched a behind the scenes vid of millie crying and finn hugging her after THAT scene and bro tell me why that looks more heartwarming than any mileven scene they had in the last season. the immense lack of chemistry between mike and eleven HAS TO BE ON PURPOSE I CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP
Sending love and solidarity to all byler shippers, Stranger Things fans dissatisfied with the ending and anyone who thought conformity gate might be real.
I’m so sorry. Like, heart to heart, I am so damn sorry.
I’m not a Stranger Things fan but I’ve talked to fans, and seen enough to understand the level of what’s been done. I get you. This is so similar to Sherlock season 4 it is ridiculous and I can’t believe this shit is happening now.
There will be fellow fans out in their droves saying you were stupid for thinking conformity gate might be real. You aren’t stupid. You understand story. That’s not stupidity. It is media literacy. It isn’t your fault the writers weren’t up to the task.
There will be gaslighting by the Duffers and Netflix. Don’t fall for it. It wasn’t all in your head. They sprinkled those breadcrumbs and they knew exactly what they were doing.
There will be people who accuse you of just caring about your ship. Firstly, the hell is wrong with that anyway- heaven forbid a fan should love the romance arc most of all? If any other type of story arc is fumbled in the final step an audience’s outrage is accepted so why should a romantic arc be any different? But also, it isn’t just that. There’s plot holes and inconsistency and weirdness. It just isn’t a satisfying ending.
Your explanation is still the clearest and most solid explanation for the final episode. It’s just the Duffers haven’t written what’s going to happen next. That’ll be up to the fans.
Take care of yourself. Listen to your instincts. Write an amazing fic or binge on the glorious fix-it fics this cock up will spawn.Get into something new. Take a break from fandom. Remember your self-worth, your acceptance doesn’t depend on the Duffers and it never did. They were cowards and they made Mike into one too, but you can be brave.
So apparently, according to Susan Mayfield's actress, she had a scene in S5 with Max... But Suffer Brothers happened.
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.
It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
THE GA IS TURNING ON THE DUFFER BROTHERS AND NETFLIX
snl has the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing and invite noah too so they can make byler canon live
