60 of 166 · most liked firstGiven that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show: What's the *best* ending to a show you've ever seen? Quote/reply etc
neutral · AI labelView post →one of the strangest fandom culture moments is going down right now; a section of the Stranger Things fanbase have convinced themselves that the last episode wasn't the *real* finale, & that there are cryptic clues hidden in the background of the series hinting at a secret *real* finale to air today
neutral · AI labelView post →I got SO UPSET in the STRANGER THINGS season where the girl is introduced as a mysterious person who posted a high-score on DIG-DUG with the name "MADMAX." I was like, "The leaderboards on Dig-Dug were THREE LETTERS! This is BULLSHIT. Fuck this show."
negative · AI labelView post →I watched the Stranger Things series finale and I'll give it this: Stranger Things sure had a pretty good first season.
negative · AI labelView post →The 'Stranger Things' cast would show up for each other on their final day of filming 🎥🥺
neutral · AI labelView post →Amazon: "continue these series you've started!!!" "The Stranger: Reckoning" by Chris Striker (book 2 of 2 of "The Stranger") Wtf did I start reading? When did I buy this? [Clicks book 1] "The Stranger" by Albert Camus
neutral · AI labelView post →If you're wondering how other parts of the internet are doing, they're also going crazy. A huge portion of the Stranger Things fandom thinks the series finale wasn't real and a secret real final episode will drop tomorrow. They're calling it "Conformity Gate".
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminder that after multiple women came out with TikTok videos a separate series of accusers (with receipts provided to the publication) stated in The Stranger that Andrew Callaghan had violently raped them

neutral · AI labelView post →I absolutely love this show. Love it. One of my favorites of the year for sure; maybe longer. I was very wary given my mixed feelings about the Stranger Things run; I was completely sold.
positive · AI labelView post →The Stranger Things finale should have had Mike and Co. leave the basement as Holly and her friends pull out Second Edition AD&D. The whole series ends with a rage-fueled edition war. Even better, they pull out Shadowrun.
neutral · AI labelView post →We've a lot of new followers on here. Some from the other place, some new, so tomorrow, I'm gonna do a little bit of an intro about who Bert is. But for now, I'm just going to tell you that the first book we sold today in the shop was The Stranger Times by C K McDonnell. FAB little series
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm actually deeply curious about this piece now. The author has only published two things on The Stranger (the other is about how American cakes aren't as good as Austria's) and his name doesn't show up anywhere else. "J.P. Puschitz" may be a fake name, Puschitz doesn't seem to be a common name
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay I watched the Stranger Things finale again and liked it even more the second time. I have a few issues with it, but nothing that diminishes the incredible job they did of wrapping up the series. It’s probably among my favorite series finales ever. So many shows drop the ball. They did not.
positive · AI labelView post →Today I discovered that the Stranger Things Broadway show centers around a high school production of the play Dark of the Moon, a freaky, fairly obscure Appalachian goth drama I was in in HS, so I’m finding the whole thing disturbingly relatable
neutral · AI labelView post →From the Stranger Things series which I never got to finish showing everyone (one of my many goals). He was same size as the Trek tiles.
neutral · AI labelView post →My variant for the upcoming Black Label mini-series SUPERMAN: THE STRANGER Getting to draw Golden Age Supes was an item on my career bucket list =D
neutral · AI labelView post →One of my favourite things about the Stranger Things reaction (and save your justification for why you didn't like it. I stopped watching after season 2 and don't care) is this is a total Game of Thrones situation. In the internet era when a show gets too big, no ending can ever satisfy fans.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've been playing D&D since the Clinton admin and none of this makes sense. Also, I refuse to call Gen Z gamers the Stranger Things generation since the TV show is supposed to be about my gens older siblings and that's the nostalgia the first season dug into.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Acolyte came out during the set's development, and many of us on the design team quickly fell in love with the show. So we designed a card for The Stranger & snuck him into the set, and the way he turns his opponent's power against them is so perfect for his fighting style in the show #FFGStaff
neutral · AI labelView post →Trying to watch the Stranger Things finale and the DH's dad, who has never watched the show, keeps asking questions, and I think I'm closer than I've ever been to witnessing a murder.
neutral · AI labelView post →I don’t need to watch the Stranger Things finale! It’s good that I can watch this real good show that’s on that real good boy’s television! Why, Anthony’s television is the best television that I’ve ever seen! Oh look! It’s snowing outside! It’s real good that the crops will die!
neutral · AI labelView post →The Stranger in THE ACOLYTE was almost a much more terrifying villain than what we got in the show, as revealed in concept art just unveiled at STAR WARS CELEBRATION JAPAN. Check out all the scary and disturbing designs for The Stranger / Qimir here: theholofiles.com/2025/04/18/a...
neutral · AI labelView post →The Exile II, the ship that The Stranger uses in "The Acolyte". I think it is my favourite ship from the show, it has the feel of an early plane or boat while resembling the features of the Sith Infiltrator.
neutral · AI labelView post →On my way to see the Stranger Things stage show. Then dinner and drinks at the kings arms this evening. If you’re around. Say hi!
neutral · AI labelView post →Love the implication in the Stranger Things finale that once you grow up you have to stop playing D&D. They really managed to become everything the show was originally critiquing.
negative · AI labelView post →I think the Stranger Things finale was kind of bland and underwhelming, but watching the sheer amount of people cluck their tongues and go "ha i would simply not make a bad show 😎" is some bullshit. Most fuckers can barely put together a YouTube video.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the Stranger Things season finale. I’ve had a few issues with this series but you know what I enjoyed it, it had a lot to do and it did it, and I’m very glad the whole show exists. It’s quite the achievement.
positive · AI labelView post →ICYMI, the debut of the Stranger Things cartoon prompted me to look at the weird history of animated spinoffs of live-action shows, and to suggest some new ones:

neutral · AI labelView post →not to take anything away from Kelabe, who is a phenomenal candidate & has run a great campaign, but this result does show the influence of The Stranger when you look at the 43rd and 46th LDs. The results in those races could have been very different if they had followed their progressive reputation
neutral · AI labelView post →Ring The Bells book 5 of The Stranger Times series is out today!! Available everywhere. Well, not newsagents. Or hairdressers. Almost no nail saloons. Come to think of it - book shops. Really mainly available in book shops.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bloody hell, the Stranger Things stage show is serious fun. Just enough Scooby Doo to make it a proper ghost train ride. Loved it.
neutral · AI labelView post →okay but I need the Stranger Things critique videos for the people who have had issues with the show since S1
neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite thing about the Stranger Things online fandom is how clear it is people watch this show while messing with their phones because some of the questions people ask are just "did you even watch the show" level. "Why is Max sad about Billy in season 4" she has multiple monologs about it.
neutral · AI labelView post →here is my piece for @harriertail.bsky.social ‘s Covers zine! Sol for SkyClan & the Stranger, which was one of my absolute favorite series from the comics when i was growing up. @harriertail.bsky.social is still selling spares! all proceeds go to Hearts with Hands Hurricane Helene relief fund ❤️
neutral · AI labelView post →Finished the Stranger Things Finale and while it’s not perfect it’s a beautiful way to end this show! #StrangerThings
positive · AI labelView post →ive been on an irregular workout schedule and i keep thinking "chest day was yesterday. or the day before that, i dont know" like the beginning of The Stranger. maybe the first person ever to have this series of thoughts.
neutral · AI labelView post →Life is Strange is lowkey the Stranger Things of video games. should’ve been an anthology series but instead it’s just this shit over and over again
neutral · AI labelView post →Walking up to the end of the Stranger Things finale. Love that all the kids look 40, but Winona looks the same age as she did at the start of the series.
neutral · AI labelView post →After Andor is done, and all of us watched Rogue One again it is time to - 🌌 **#RenewTheAcolyte** 🌑 This show gave us: • the **High Republic era** (finally!) • Manny Jacintos The Stranger • and a fascinating take on Jedi dogma **#StarWars** **#DisneyPlus** **#AcolyteArmy**
neutral · AI labelView post →just saw the Stranger Things play and if you have like 8 ounces of media literacy you can basically infer how the series is going to end now
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally saw the Stranger Things finale and it was...good? I had been led to believe it was a disappointment, and instead it was the same show it always has been
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m seeing a fair bit of commentary about the Stranger Things finale along the lines of it needing more or feeling anticlimactic and I think that’s because the central conflicts of the show don’t have much thematic weight to them

neutral · AI labelView post →For day 74 of my year long retrospective on TV Movies that need a DVD/Blu Ray release, I am going with the eerie and brutal 1990 thriller The Stranger Within. Kate Jackson is a woman trying to move on after her child is kidnapped, only to have him show up many years later... or is he her son?
neutral · AI labelView post →*Quietly watches the Stranger Things discourse, having fully abandoned the series during Season 2* 👀👀👀
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm probably in the minority, but the Stranger Things finale, for me, stuck the landing. I truly enjoyed this series, even if it was a bit uneven at times. It absolutely resonated with me.
positive · AI labelView post →You know, things like the Stranger Things finale, or the Game of Thrones finale show that some series shouldn't be longer than three seasons.
neutral · AI labelView post →My quest to wrap up some Letterboxd film collections is taking me into spaghetti western territory with the finale of Tony Anthony's 'The Stranger' series. As per usual, he lacks that Eastwood sense of danger & charm and yet has the smugness of a thousand men🤷 #NowWatching The Silent Stranger (1968)
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m expecting the cast of the New Harry Potter series to go through an even worse version of what the Stranger Things kids get through where they’re only on book four but they all look like the film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen

neutral · AI labelView post →Hearing all the criticism about the Stranger Things finale makes me glad I never got into the show and that I’m better off rewatching Aliens again.
neutral · AI labelView post →Enjoyed the Stranger Things finale. I like Stranger Things. I really genuinely would like to see the entire series edited down into the three 2 hour films it actually is though.
positive · AI labelView post →Another #bookoftheyear from my favourite comic series of recent times, Relight My Fire from @caimhmc.bsky.social came out in January. As well as the humour and storytelling in each book, the characters, relationship, the world around The Stranger Times develop so well through the series. #booksky

neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched the Stranger Things finale and thought it was a fitting end to the series
positive · AI labelView post →ok so no Black Series Ben Solo (of course) but I'll take The Stranger as recompense
