Think they'll explain why 11 isn't susceptible to the Mind Flayer if...as they've hinted...her powers come from Henry...and HIS come from the Mind Flayer itself??? The MF treated 11 like she was its only threat in S3. Isn't she somehow related to the Hive Mind if her powers originate there?

000

If Brenner and these scientists have known about Dimension X and the Hive Particles this entire time...why did they seem so 100% confused about what was going on during S2? This idea that Brenner's actual mission this entire time was trying to open a portal to X and/or find Henry feels...odd to me.

000

Where exactly where the Russians boring to in S3 of #strangerthings ...now that we know the Bridge is only the size of Hawkins???? They were dimensionally lasering back in Russia...to????

000

I liked #strangerthings back when the human technology was more inline with 1980s reality. Sure, drug experiments to make super kids...but starting with the Russians in S3...all of the sudden humans are employing dimensional lasers and now Brenner created an exotic energy sphere???

000

#strangerthings So...exactly when did Dr. Brenner become a theoretical physicist on the level of Dr. Bruce Banner??? 😆 S1 they send one dude to see what was in the upside down...and...before Brenner is mauled by the Demo...they concoct this exotic matter/energy ball to keep the Bridge stable???

000

If #strangerthings had skipped the fake out death of Hopper and the "move out of Hawkins" in S3...they could have ended everything in a final S4. Instead they had to spend an entire season getting everyone back to Hawkins and most of S5 just stalling for the final battle...and so much filler.

My wife and son are into anime now, and I've seen my share of dragon ball 😄...and I think my preference for #thewheeloftime would be one of those long episode / many season animated shows. Give me 52 episodes per season with 14 seasons. 😆 Plus internal voice overs are common. Perfect for #wot

I swear Stranger Things used to have natural, flowing dialogue when it wasn’t quick, clever and quotable. And didn’t always need to Say the Thing, sometimes even just showed it or let the subtext exist.

Don't hate it, but find it...specifically with the surrounding movie and especially the metacontextual statements about fandom Rian is trying to make...unearned, unsatisfying, and ultimately disappointing. Never left a Star Wars movie more disappointed. 🤷‍♂️ Everyone has their own experience in guess

My "how much I loved upon 1st viewing" ranking. 11. The Last Jedi 10. The Rise of Skywalker 9. Attack of the Clones 8. Rogue One 7. Revenge of the Sith 6. Solo 5. The Phantom Menace 4. A New Hope 3. The Force Awakens 2. Empire Strikes Back 1. Return of the Jedi

Ok, so now I want Rian to and the reigns to a new director who will shake things up in his Knives Out universe...with the knowledge that he's gonna come back to do at least one movie after this "shake up". I agree SW needs to move forward, but with a 40 year saga you can't just "shake" things up.

This ends one of two bad ways: 1. The story humanizes Gaston and makes him a tragic figure of some kind...and pisses people off 2. The story doesn't humanize Gaston and ends up being about the dangers of toxic masculinity...and pisses people off. 🤷‍♂️

Worst thing about December as a Star Wars fan is that every year the ST movie anniversaries bring back all the conversations. 😆

I always wondered if she was supposed to have known he was a projection at that point. Like does he get to decide what he is solid for and what he can pass through? Also he leaves the dice with Leia...but they're a projection too?...so they are tangible without him? 🤷‍♂️🤔🤔🤔

I'd respond but that's been turned off now so 🤷‍♂️

One thing I think LucasFilm/Bad Robot didn't anticipate(?) in 2014 when "planning" the ST was the difficulty in balancing the 2 core arcs of Rey and Ben...especially with Ben being the 2nd Gen of our OT heros It is trying to tell a hero journey AND a tragic downfall and how do you manage reactions?

When I saw TFA in the theater I enjoyed about every minute of it...but over the past decide FTA feels so much more like a hollow nostalgia trip. A rework of the greatest hits of the OT (ep4). So today the scene I find original and interesting is Kylo Ren feeling the pull from the Light.

Ray Richards @rayrichards.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

I saw some positive reaction to the idea that S #starwars Dtarfighter ending has changed to removed Rey. I really hope not. Starwars needs a path forward for the Jedi (the one differentiating factor for SW) and a build up to an NJO would be good. youtu.be/l861dzkXd8s?...

So #starwars fam... The rest of the Knights of Ren were just like...normal dudes? Like not force sensitive or anything? Also, maybe, they had welded their helmets in place (makes the cult Mandos look like wusses, man up Mandos)???

I'd watch movies about a Jedi, with a southern drawl, who goes around solving crimes across the galaxy. Sabers Out!

Hey @infinata.bsky.social how does my #starwars headcanon sound: His name was Luke Lars until the moment Leia asked him who he was...and then he took on the name of his father, in whose footsteps he felt he was now following. That's why Vader/Emperor never found him with a simple Google search.

#starwars This is a good piece and I agree with it (even if I'd quibble a bit about Luke, but I didn't agree with how he was handled anyway). Ben Solo living through the redemption is what makes sense. It's the new thing we didn't see with Anakin. And yes, heros matter to boys (see me & Luke).

I would have accepted this as season 3.

I really enjoyed episodes like this...but if they're gonna clock in at 35min then we should be getting 20 episode seasons. 🤷‍♂️ youtu.be/PhJOMPp5FBs?...

It's funny because of all the "dead" people coming back, I think there is a real narrative and thematic reason for Ben's story to continue.

Ray Richards @rayrichards.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

So we should expect a pre-ST Kylo Ren story where he discovers the original Ren huh?

Ray Richards @rayrichards.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

LF/Disney...you can just...go back and correct the mistake. Make the movie.

Imagine a "Search for Ben Solo" where we see more of Luke/Ben from different angles as Ben realizes how much the dark side tainted how see experienced the world and his family.
