I Really Don't Think Stranger Things Is Going To Have This Happy Fairy Tale Ending Where All The Kids

I really don't think Stranger Things is going to have this happy fairy tale ending where all the kids survive and end up growing up together and marrying each other because Stranger Things is still in the Horror genre.

In Horror, most of the characters end up dying in the end. There are sacrifices to be made for the protagonist. I think that Joyce, Nancy, Max and/or Eleven/Jane will be the last character(s) standing because typically the female character ends up defeating the threat if they can. I think Stranger Things is ultimately a woman's journey and that the women in the story will outlast all of the male characters.

I sort of forgot how boring this movie actually is. Why does so much of the movie involve Sharpay's family playing golf?

I think they finally found a motel that is beyond saving. This is truly terrible and gross.

Probably the best theories and arguments I've seen about Dr. Brenner so far. For once it doesn't boil down to "I hope Hopper murders him".

“[In storytelling] niceness tends to kill characters - if there is nothing wrong with them, nothing to offend us, then there’s almost certainly nothing to attract our attention either.”
