Stranger Things has come to its inevitably ignominious end. But at least it left us with one epic meme.
The writing in Hollywood has never been very good, and it’s always been completely delusional. But we’re definitely reaching a new nadir, when the writers and the directors can’t even pay attention to the context of the current scene in their absolute focus on inserting their insane propaganda into their creations at the most inopportune possible moment.
It’s very much like when the director decides that the best time to go for some really gut-wrenching emotion is right in the middle of a violent combat action. For some reason, the enemy completely fails to take advantage of the fact that everyone has laid down their guns and is standing around the one member of the party who actually got hit so that they can meaningfully emote for a minute or two, before they rejoin the battle, successfully inspired by their grief and rage.
