Lemmy World Rules

Fans have waited so long for the next season of Netflix’s Stranger Things that it’s begun to feel like we’re living in the Upside Down. Actually, that might not be because of the show, but I digress. Finally, we have a trailer for Season 5, Volume 1, and it looks like the series created by The Duffer Brothers intends to go out in epic fashion.

Stranger Things Season 5 picks up after the events of the fourth season, in the fall of 1987. Our heroes look to find and kill Vecna after the Rifts opened in Hawkins. But the mission becomes complicated when the military arrives in Hawkins and begins hunting Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). As the anniversary of Will Byers’ (Noah Schnapp) disappearance approaches, the group must fight one last time against a deadly threat.

I've watched 0 trailers, read 0 articles. The only way to watch shows and movies these days.

The worst part of it, trying to believe the “kids” are in the 10th grade.

For the main characters at least, it's not too bad. They're playing 17 year olds whilst they're all around 21/22. I can live with that.

The supporting regular cast of older "kids" within the group have bigger age gaps, but that was true in the early seasons too!

At least the actual 80s TV shows with 20somethings pretending to be teenagers had CRT fuzziness on their side.

They unabashedly support a fascist genocidal government. If you're in to that kind of thing then go ahead and enjoy the show, I can't.

Really who the creators or Netflix? I won't be watching regardless just curious.

The stars for sure. Millie thinks the murdering is great.

I know Noah has gone on record supporting Israel but from what I’ve read Millie has stayed silent besides stating Noah is her friend.

What do you call 3 guys having lunch with a Nazi? 4 Nazis.

I wouldn't even pirate the show at this point.
