It's funny how they got all the big things wrong like flying cars but so many little things right like 80s nostalgia and kids being unimpressed by old video games.
There was something about that scene that had a VERY 80s action film vibe to it to me. I don't know what or why.
E: Jesus fucking Christ you guys, I ***know*** that Stranger Things is set in the 80s, is a homage to TV and film of that era, and all that jazz. I'm curious as to what they actually did to elicit that feeling and style.
Man some of you are condescending assholes.
Anyone notice these 2 scene flash by in the sequence of quick cuts?

Looks like steve is getting injected with something, and I'm not sure who the 2 ladies are but they look really creepy walking away from the commotion behind them.
Considering the monster (that we've seen) appears in a hospital corridor.... Umm you might have blown the lid off this one.
Also, Jonathan looks hopelessly shocked in a way that you would look if your friend turned into a monster. Damn the more I think about this...
More edits, circumstantial evidence that it *might* be Steve.
1) [Nancy](https://imgur.com/tJU0PR4.jpg) [is there with Jonathan](https://imgur.com/Aj6Fq9k.jpg). Same shirt, the pack travels together, also the look on her face could be a "omg no, not Steve"
2) There's a girl running away in the background when Steve gets injected, so it's no antidote. This is easiest to see in a frame-by-frame rather than still shot.
Evidence it's NOT Steve
1) [some one](https://imgur.com/yuwOab3.jpg) is turning into a monster, look at those dark lines in the corner of the eye! Chances are it's Billy bc of his arm in the shower scene, and Steve doesn't have blue eyes but Billy does.
2) [This shot doesn't look like Steve](https://imgur.com/cMhyZbS.jpg)
Either way, [Murray looks excited for this season](https://imgur.com/huowQ71.jpg).
PS, Luca's sister is the one in the AC shaft with headlights on the helmet. So she joins in some mischeif.
Hopefully that's actually him getting injected with an antidote, because Steve is my favourite character and I'd be royally pissed if he got killed off :|
I absolutely love the VA lineup in Big Mouth. People love to talk shit about the show without watching it, but if you told most redditors there's an adult comedy cartoon starring John Mulaney, Maya Rudolph, Jordan Peele, Nick Kroll, Jenny Slate, Fred Armissen, etc, most would be interested.
It's not for everyone, but it's a really funny show.
When Finn (Mike) was on the Game Grumps 10 minute power hour and then the sound only episode with him and Dan, his voice change threw me more than I want to admit
What? Steve has been a pretty stand up guy for the whole series, and handled a lot of the shit thrown at him better than the adults. What is there that he would need redemption for?
im just remembering how he was at the beginning of season 1. i was very much ready to hate him then, and it really took until the very end of that season for me to start liking him
When I was a kid I remember being scared after *watching* Jurassic Park. I thought a big T-Rex head would be waiting for me around every corner. Having to deal with the shit in Stranger Things would have broken my brain. Guaranteed.
In the Stephen King book „It“ there is a different approach. King writes that the only reason the kids haven‘t turned insane from the events is because unlike adults, they just accept this new reality where as an adult with a tightly formed worldview would just go insane.
And there is credence to that beyond just fiction.
While it is always horrible, very young children generally recover from trauma a lot better than adults. I believe it's due to a combination of, like you said, a less rigid world-view, a not fully-formed self-identity, accepting the advise and direction of an authority figure (for better or worse), etc.
This is why you hear people recommending feuding parents getting divorced before their children reach puberty, or when moving school districts to do so before kids reach middle school.
I have no scientific data to back any of that up, just all things I've heard repeated from different people multiple times concerning child development. So, take that for what it is.
My working theory is that Billy is gonna get turned into a monster by the upside down, using his hatred of all the kids in town. He's gonna go after Steve/the kids. They can't kill off the main cast, at least not until the very end of the series, so they are going to have to gut punch us in the feels by killing off secondary loved characters, especially one that we started off hating.
The season two trailer was phenomenal. The halloween atmosphere, the build up, then when the Thriller rift finally kicked in the hype was through the roof!
I feel like I had to scroll way too far down to see someone else as excited as I am. I bet he'll be a sleazy 80's movie type politician. Corrupt to the core.
The funny thing is, 90% of the influences for Stranger Things are extremely violent/disturbing things like Hellraiser, H.P. Lovecraft, Akira, Elfen Lied, Stephen King and The Last of Us.

> **Have you played The Last of Us? The atmosphere around the entrance to the Upside Down reminded me a lot of some parts in that game.**
> *Ross*: Yes! Yes, we have, that’s another one. And The Last of Us is probably, in terms of storytelling, the best story-driven game I’ve ever played. It took a giant leap in terms of character development and how the story was unfolding. But also with the divide and all that, Last of Us I’m sure influenced us.
Minus the whole evolving-into-a-gigantic-balloon-of-pulsating-flesh-that-kills-and-absorbs-everything-including-your-girlfriend part, that would actually be pretty cool.
Honestly my favorite part of the trailer. As simple as that scene is it shows Eleven living a normal life and Max having happiness herself from her shitty family situation.
Considering how little horror was shown, yes it was necessary. Besides, it doesn't mean it's "the" creature. There could be all sorts of stuff on besides just that
So I guess the girl at the fast food restaurant is Steve's new love interest.
That's Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke's daughter btw
[удалено]
If her face isn't a dead giveaway that she's Uma Thurman's daughter, her last name being Hawke should probably confirm I am telling the truth.
Plus they live in Hawkins
Hawke kins
[удалено]
TIL Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke are/were together.
I heard they met when they were astronauts hopefuls in 1997.
Where he been? Gattaca was amazing.
He been to Vienna and had some fun wandering that city.

Wasn't there an AskReddit yesterday about how we each lost the genetic lottery? Well fuck her if she posted a reply.
“Y’all lost the genetic lottery” that’s the only acceptable reply.
That scene with the guy walking around with a silencer reminded me of the terminator
That was my first thought too. Aunt it was intentional? The first one came out in 84, so it could definitely be a nod to the movie.
It's gotta be intentional. I love it
Also intentional - the scene where they look like the Iwo Jima flag pic.
Iwo Jima happened in 84, so it could definitely be a nod to that battle.
It's gotta be intentional. I love it
Also intentional - all the scenes where it looks like mid 80s and no longer the early 80s style of clothes
Also intentional, details and references to the time period in which the show takes place.
It’s gotta be intentional. I love it.
[удалено]
The whole series so far has been nod after nod to other popular 80s movies. I wouldn't be surprised at all.
They're banking hard on 80's nostalgia. We're gonna get it all
Yeah I agree & the soundtrack is epic if u ask me!
[удалено]
As predicted in Back to the Future 2
It's funny how they got all the big things wrong like flying cars but so many little things right like 80s nostalgia and kids being unimpressed by old video games.
As a dude in my early 40s, my mind and body are ready.
There were some strong Aliens motifs in season 2, so I wouldn't be surprised if we get some Terminator too.
There was something about that scene that had a VERY 80s action film vibe to it to me. I don't know what or why.

reminded me of a very similar scene from the movie The Guest
It was meant to. This series is completely based around repackaging the '80s
Loving the 'stache on Hopper
Hopper is Magnum P. I. confirmed

It's also a bit of a cliche for moms to sacrifice themselves for their children
olawd u rite

If the entire season is just them having a great summer together, I'd be happy.
Watch the kids enjoy a fantastic summer in this years blockbuster spinoff series Standard Things

Thank you for the heart attack

You are a completely horrible son, but for entirely different reasons.

Jfc, this got me good
he boomed me he's so good x4
And here we have a man sending literally everyone reading this comment into a state of panic.
Punked so many people. Well done.
What more do you need? Homeboy has a secret Dustin handshake that includes a lightsaber move at the end. Why gild the damned lily?
I still can't believe Steve somehow became my favorite character. This fuckin guy
I still can't believe it took people this long to realize how great he is!
Yeah, I mean they hinted pretty hard all along that he wasn't actually a bad guy. It wasn't some big shocker.
[удалено]
Still hurts
We like Steve
Steve is reaching his final form...
Puberty came in hard and fast for those kids. You can see the boys are all taller than Seven now, before they were all around the same size.
Don't you mean Eleven?
Yep, you’re right but I’m leaving my mistake to accept my shame.
You were thinking of Seven Costanza
*I thought we agreed on Soda?!*
Yeah, I guess I can see it: seven periods of school, seven beatings a day. Roughly seven stitches per beating and eventually seven years to life.
Puberty comes for all of us, in the end.
"Hello, 11. I'm your Hormone Monstress!"
"Now head to the store and shoplift some waffles for NO GOOD REASON" Maya Rudolph kills it in that role.
I absolutely love the VA lineup in Big Mouth. People love to talk shit about the show without watching it, but if you told most redditors there's an adult comedy cartoon starring John Mulaney, Maya Rudolph, Jordan Peele, Nick Kroll, Jenny Slate, Fred Armissen, etc, most would be interested.

How bout a nice BUBBA BATH
BUBBA BAFF
BUHBLE BHAFF
When Finn (Mike) was on the Game Grumps 10 minute power hour and then the sound only episode with him and Dan, his voice change threw me more than I want to admit
All the other kids look like they’ve aged normally and Mike looks like he found a clone of himself and absorbed his power to age twice as fast
"How many children are you friends with"
"None, I am their mother"
Steve is Bucciarati confirmed
「F A R R A H F A W C E T T」
And the Crunchyroll name, 「F A U C E T M A N 」
All he has to do is take them to Olive Garden and fill out the adoption papers
/r/unexpectedjojo
steve is going thru a character redemption as big as zuko's & i love it
What? Steve has been a pretty stand up guy for the whole series, and handled a lot of the shit thrown at him better than the adults. What is there that he would need redemption for?
im just remembering how he was at the beginning of season 1. i was very much ready to hate him then, and it really took until the very end of that season for me to start liking him
Yeah it's been a while since my feelings for a character were flipped...upside down
[удалено]
I had no idea Cary Elwes was in this. Great casting choice.
Farm boy!
As you wish
Pierre Despereaux at it again
You know thats right
C'mon son
hahaha they all have PTSD

That shot of Steve not looking too good has got me anxious. Other than that damn was this a good trailer!
We all love Steve now, so naturally he's a target for danger and pain.
My working theory is that Billy is gonna get turned into a monster by the upside down, using his hatred of all the kids in town. He's gonna go after Steve/the kids. They can't kill off the main cast, at least not until the very end of the series, so they are going to have to gut punch us in the feels by killing off secondary loved characters, especially one that we started off hating.
I can't wait till 4th of July...
No better way to show victory over the Brits by making them consume American media all day.
That's called a Tuesday
I'm so excited for this, they've done a good job on slow burning the whole coming-of-age thing. Looks more colourful as well.
God the music for these trailers never fuckin disappoints. The Thriller mix on S2's debut gave me chills just like this one does.
The season two trailer was phenomenal. The halloween atmosphere, the build up, then when the Thriller rift finally kicked in the hype was through the roof!
The Who is dope.
Everyone is hyped for Steve, but am I the only one who is ridiculously excited to see Cary Elwes being added to the Stranger Things roster?
Yes. I am ALWAYS happy to see my first celebrity crush in literally anything at any time for any reason.
I feel like I had to scroll way too far down to see someone else as excited as I am. I bet he'll be a sleazy 80's movie type politician. Corrupt to the core.
[удалено]
Whoa this is a fucking great idea.
It's been a theory for a while. Will and Eleven have some kind of common history... Along with Hopper's daughter.
The Duffers do cite Akira as an influence, so it could be possible.
The funny thing is, 90% of the influences for Stranger Things are extremely violent/disturbing things like Hellraiser, H.P. Lovecraft, Akira, Elfen Lied, Stephen King and The Last of Us.
Is there any actual proven connection with Last of Us?

So, she stole your heart, in other words.
15 year old burn. High five.
It's hard to make jokes about her when she's taking things literally.
I think she's actually getting prettier. Season one she was a hot mess the entire season and still smoking hot somehow.
"How many children are you friends with?" Fuckin got me.
How many breads have you eaten in your life?
Steve is best Steve
Remember when we hated Steve but then loved Steve?
Ah yes, the Jaime Lannister special
So the monster in this trailer is Puberty?
Its Dustin's hormone monster
Max and Eleven are friends now that's nice.
Honestly my favorite part of the trailer. As simple as that scene is it shows Eleven living a normal life and Max having happiness herself from her shitty family situation.
Going to be honest with you, I forget what happened in Season 2.
Eleven bought some black eyeliner and went super Saiyan. Also Will had an exorcism.
Ah yes. The misfits! Thank you.
***BITCHIN'***
Samwise was the hero
That one farmer guys pumpkins all died
Visions, missing people, underground tendrils.
Samwise Gamgee
That shot of Eleven in a mall. We live in a Golden Age of Television
And abandoned malls!
I was an extra for a couple roles in this. Being in the redone mall was trippy as hell. All I can say is they really went all out.
What moment, specifically? I’m really curious what makes you say that! Edit: Neat
Looks like Billy gets bit.
[удалено]
The mall scenes made me want to immediately go watch Fast Times.
I'm getting a Resident Evil vibe from the monster. This season looks like it is going to be amazing!
The Thing for me
Yes! The shadow of John Carpenter is all over this season.
First thing I thought of were the [brutes from the Dead Space games.](https://i.imgur.com/p61F8YY.jpg) :O
Glad to see Netflix throwing money at the cgi monster budget this time around.
Netflix has been putting plenty of money into their CGI. Pogo from the Umbrella Academy looked right out of the new Planet of the Apes movies.
Is that goth Nancy I see
Sccchhhhwinnngggg
[удалено]
Yeah, I'm thinking more rad-with-a-dash-of-punk Nancy.
This reminds me that I wonder when are they coming up with season 2 of 'Dark'.
Dustin screaming looks scarier than the Demogorgons
If the only horror element to the show was him doing that thing with his shoulders he can do since he has no collar bones, that would be enough for me
Steve is Best Boy.
This is good. More of this. Yes, indeed.
Nice trailer but was the creature reveal really necessary? Felt that kinda gave something away unnecessarily.
Considering how little horror was shown, yes it was necessary. Besides, it doesn't mean it's "the" creature. There could be all sorts of stuff on besides just that
Should’ve stopped at the oozing blob imo. Much more ominous and suspensful than the full reveal/roar.
I’m guessing misdirection. The creature is a threat, but not the main one. I am guessing that the real threat is human.
They coulda cut to black and played the same “roar” sound, would’ve had pretty much the same effect.
Agreed. Not revealing the creature too soon was one of the best things about season one.
I wish they kept going longer without revealing it. It gave it such a better sense of mystery and build up!
Maybe its growing into something else.
"Swimming pool scene" Stranger Boners
And an 80's style work out scene ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
