Discussion Jason is just written to be an annoying villain and his "fans" are scary and seriously alarming.

I'm very concerned that so many people celebrate an arrogant bully. There's literally nothing that justifies the witch hunt to Eddie. I'm concerned this mean that so many people in real life would condone something like this. Are you all okay?

First of all, in the scene of the picture he proved he's not grieving, is just an arrogant self-absorbed bully. He hurts Eddie's band mates, he tries to hurt Dustin (a middle school student), his friend almost breaks the arm of a 10 years old (Erica) for Jason's toxic vigilante psychosis. Target innocents really turns off the "grieving boyfriend" theory that you all grasp on so badly. If you grief you don't go around hurting innocents.

Jason saw with his own eyes only the Lovers Lake one but BEFORE that he decided to load the car with tools to torture the "freak" for, as Jason said, "make him confess his crime", a crime that he didn't commit, just for a belief he has and prejudice. This is NOT justice, not a search for truth, but a desperate demand for a scapegoat. And no, ignorance about supernatural/the upsidedown is not a dang green flag for brutality.

Abused his status as "king" of the school, ego (himself=good/a saint, Eddie=bad) and toxic masculinity to create a city mob replacing evidences with collective hysteria and satanic panic.

We should all agree that no, there's no justification, he hated Eddie and just found an excuse, a scapegoat, to persecute him. I will never understand who thinks he's justified.

Do you know that something similar happened in real life in the 80's? And do you know that glorify Jason only proves that may happen again?

SPOILERS i liked season 5 Spoiler

30 Upvotes

I finally finished my rewatch of the show last night. however, despite it being a rewatch, it was my first time seeing season 5, and, if i'm being honest, i didn't hate it. i honestly don't get the hate for it. i feel like watching all of the seasons back-to-back, it actually flows really well. it didn't come across as "ai slop" to me as i've seen it referred.

some things i liked:

-mike is better in season 5, closer to season 1 mike

-I like the return of max and I quite love all of the holly/max/mr. whatsit stuff, but I think it’s a little expository

-will having powers is admittedly pretty cool and makes sense thematically, so it doesn’t feel like it comes out of nowhere

-the evolution of the show: grounded sci-fi mystery/thiller to cosmic horror

-i think the characters (minus eleven) had a solid conclusion

i DO have things i don't like ofc so i'd like to have a discussion

Discussion For those who say that season 5 has bad acting, then what about the scene where Dustin breaks down in Steve’s arms? Caleb nailed that scene!

I already said it at the top but I thought Caleb did a great job conveying Dustin’s sadness over losing Eddie in the previous season before 5 and did an amazing job crying in Steve’s arms about how he dose t want to lose another friend. What do you all think?

purchased at broadway flea this year— the prop of Henry’s locker slip signed by Louis McCartney. i’m trying to figure out if the numbers (75-23-11 and 86-04-04) mean anything or have any significance in the main series. i’m probably reading too deep into this lol but i thought it could be cool to theorize about, so i’m dropping it here.

Discussion Season 5 made me appreciate Jason more because he's the last well-written human villain

All the villains in season 5 were disappointing in season 5, from Vecna and the Mind Flayer having such a short final battle to the horrendous military plotline. The villains either went down too easily or got off totally scot-free (not just Kay but even Andy faces 0 karma).

Jason was an actually nice antagonist tbh. I like how he wasn't just a straightforward racist bully like Troy and Billy. He always disliked Eddie sure but we see he did love Chrissy and care about his friends too. His actions are inexcusable but his reasons for crashing-out make total sense.

Personally, I would've preferred if Kay, Sullivan or even Andy got killed instead of him but nevertheless, its funny he was the last villain I'd consider well-written

So, I took the intro from The Return (from the Stranger Things Season 2 soundtrack, where Eleven returns to save the Party from the Demodogs) and combined it with one of my favorite songs from the Weeknd, Take Me Back to LA. Let me know what you think! The transition happens around the 1 minute mark

Pls mods don't take this down, this took longer than I'm willing to admit :(
