    Is anyone else completely turned off Stranger Things by all the ridiculous ads? They keep trying to sell it with everything from Google’s AI slop to fucking washing machine detergent.

    Yes daddy Netflix, I would like nothing more than Demogorgon-flavored Tide pods, how very astute of you!

      I got bored of it in like season 3, but I’ve also just heard not great things about the writing now so I have no interest in it regardless of ads.

      I thought it told everything it wanted to in 2 seasons so I never was interested in the first place. I’m more shocked there’s hype in the first place. Season 4 wasn’t good at all. And I can’t remember anything from season 3.

        Yeah for real. The marketing didn’t really detract from my opinion of it, the writing did tbh. Glad they ::: spoiler spoiler had Will come out tho! :::

          It was kind of a weak ass corporate whitewashed coming out though. No one ever said the word gay. I kept expecting him to finally say “I’m gay” but it just never happened and it really cheapened the whole thing for me.

            Yeah I don’t know why he didn’t just say it at the end.

            !We got “I don’t like girls.” Like, ok?? People who are asexual don’t like girls. !<

            Wish they would have given a better pay off for sure

          You’ll have to put that spoiler in a new paragraph. Unfortunately spoiler tags are not a standard Markdown feature. There are no inline spoilers in the Lemmy UI (which is a stupid ass decision, what the fuck devs), and no spoilers whatsoever on Mastodon.

          This works:

          :::spoiler Spoiler Title
          spoiler content
          :::
          

          This does not:

          :::spoiler spoiler content :::
