    There are many better Tabletop games, and I think some were going by the mid 80s.

    Also how these kids play a game of D&D and go "the last monster we fought in the game is just like the monster in Real Life." It's getting really annoying.

    I feel like Stranger Things 4 would have been better if it took place more than 9 months after season 3.

    There is also zero thought about AIDS, which was a major thing at the time. Like the show is apolitical outside of "Russians bad".

    Like the first couple seasons were neat as they took these 80s tropes but sort of showed a world beyond what we saw on the screen for ET and such. Season 3 was just a dumb action movie. Season 4 is just all over the place - and at it's BEST it's doing a subversion of Geeks vs Cool kids, because the monster doesn't care.

      Are you not familiar with Chekhov's DnD monster?😅

      Tbh I haven't watched past season 2. Season 3, I watched I think 1 episode and gave up. It should have been a limited series imo, 1 season
