PUTTY ARROW, BRO!!!

Let’s just hope his full turn is executed better than Harry Osborn’s in the original Spider-Man trilogy. Not that it was his fault or anything, just sucks for him he finally took up the Goblin mantle in the worst film of the batch.

Considering the fact they look like militarised “don’t tread on me” militia forming yeehaws one step away from a clan meeting, I’d say it’s very, incredibly deliberate.

I mean they’re shown attacking the lead character here. Clearly not good guys.

The Dreamcast didn’t die for this

I do like me some Remedy games

Hopefully they’ll back their future projects harder than they did Deadly Class.

no

and the 2019 games release schedule surprisingly sparse

Hey, I’m not the one incensed by her mere existence

Gotta keep The Man guessing

I honestly didn’t know it had a specific, other than the words “homer” and “jerk”

No, clearly not

First, you’ve either missed the whole point of representation or are just purposely trying to obfuscate it. Italians, Greeks, and Russians are hardly either minorities or under-represented in media. 

Second, Anthony Quinn, who acted mainly in the 50's and 60s? You’re drawing from examples 60-70 years old, standards…

Not to be contentious, but I’ve read a few other previews that have stated that the classic Sword/Axe/Lance paper-beats-rock weapon triangle is all but gone - is the system is now present in some other form (the Combat Arts), or...?

What you view as understandable I found completely in opposition with the ways Hopper has been characterised in the last two seasons. He was almost acting more body-snatched than Billy was.

I like to call this the “jerk Homer Simpson” effect.

Again, there’s no distinction because both characters and stories can be defined as archetypes.
To say there’s nothing original about Erica is a non-point because as we’ve established, this film has cribbed both character and story tropes from across the board. None of them are original, on paper.
It’s how the…

I’m not confusing anything - the point was that both the plot/world-building and character archetypes clearly draw from exactly the same place, establishing a pattern and theme.

The characters may be drawn more realistically than is accustomed for the genre, but they’re still based on classic 80's motifs: generally,…

Sci-fi reason? Huh?
It’s because Stranger Thing’s DNA as a whole is being a loving pastiche of everything 80's, right down to Lucas shilling for New Coke. The plot and world-building you mention in this season is explicitly informed by films and television series from that era, from Red Dawn to Terminator to The Thing…

The problem is that I think some people conflate the two.
