Hopper needed to give Mike the Uncle Phil treatment.

Im super surprised that you don’t see that the soul intention that he had when he walked into the room to talk to her them both was to say everything in that note, and that the disrespect and rude was that was shown by Mike when he was finally going to open up and have a sensitive moment was just too much rudeness and…

Between S 1 and 2: Hopper refuses to let her leave the house for a year. He also tells no one she’s alive, again, for a year. Why couldn’t he just let them visit her there on the DL/have her not go out where there is too many people as in S3? Because deniability is much easier if someone would have come looking and…

I seriously have to know, if you aren’t trolling... What did Hopp do or say that was so bad that I should have a vasectomy for agreeing with how he handled things? I genuinely want to know your perspective.  
Also, how old are you and what region do you live in?

Hmmm.. If you really feel that strongly about it then I weep for anyone that has to deal with your kid. Your kid, I’m guessing will be spoiled, socially inept and unable to be able to interact successfully outside your bubble. Probably won’t be able to hold a job, because they won’t realize how to treat authority.…

I had a girlfriend once who I was not allowed in her house when her father was home and when he got home I had to leave out the backdoor. Now imagine if I laughed and whispered jokes to his daughter in front of him, he would have punched my teeth out. 

I never thought of Mike's comment to Will being a suggestion that he is gay. Honestly, I hope they don't go in that direction because it doesn't make any sense.  It makes more sense to suggest that he just isn't into relationships at all yet, otherwise he should be able to relate to Mike and Lucas wanting to spend all…

I’m a dad in the 2019's, and would do the same thing. I was literally cheering Hopper on out loud at my TV when he gave Mike the business in his truck.

“It’s clear they were going overboard with the overprotective father trope—especially in how he treated Mike, which was seriously fucked up/”
?????
For real? Mike was being a disrespectful insufferable horrible little human, and he got what was coming to him. There was nothing fucked up about it at all, and in my…

My dad was a dad in the 90s, not the 80s, but if a boyfriend of mine had ever laughed in his face while sitting on my bed he would have gotten kicked out of my house and possibly my solar system, literally, with a boot. I’m not saying that makes Hop a Good Dad, but it certainly makes him an accurate one. 

I’ve got your back, and my suspicion is that we’re not in the minority on this one. My entire family loves Hopper. 

While I didn’t like how he was treating Joyce, I thought he was on point every other time. One of the best characters of the season.

I mean I literally thought all men other than my Dad were assholes. I never saw other men be gooey. Just mustaches, cut off shorts, and shitty beer. I didn’t realize that men had a hard time being true about their feelings. 

Nope I agree! Im convinced those who don’t get what they were going for with him this season never grew up in the 80's or are conveniently forgetting the trope he is and how pervasive it was in the 80's.

Hopper was great. Fight me. 

I don’t know, I feel like people are kind of letting Joyce of the hook for behaving like an asshole and standing him up. Regardless of whether it was a friend date or a date date, she hurt his feelings and made him feel humiliated by standing him up, and she never apologizes for it. She acts like he’s being a baby…

It’s almost as if his first daughter and he’s trying to protect a surrogate daughter who is still technically on the run from an evil organization and isn’t sure how to process his feelings.

I read a comment on youtube years ago that said something like, “how much you like Evangelion on your first watch correlates to how much you like yourself”. I think this is why it is so important and impactful to so many people, including myself. When I watched it as a young teen I was self-loathing and suicidal. I…

I, for one, am very glad they are still making games with that “trashy absurdity”. Seems like these days, having a Japanese aesthetic, and especially any sort of fanservice is an automatic negative, even on a game that is really good. 

I dislike the use of the quote “they’re all the goddamn same”. Yeah, they are more or less. Conventions are a business. You’re doing your cosplay as a business. If the conventions are were you have to go to flex your business and make money, boo hoo that they’re all the same - you’re doing this as a business.
