One my good friend's and his wife usually do a cookout and have a little party for every season of Stranger Things. He asked if I would be going this year and I said no. He actually has gotten tired of the show but his wife still wants to watch. I thought the second season was worse but still didn't annoy me until the third season. I have reached a point of being so tired of the "girls who are much better than men" trope that is in everything and to top it off, they have the "insert unnecessary lgbt character"
I remember reading that she was supposed to be added as a romantic subplot for the reformed jock (makes sense for a show paying homage to the 80s) but then they decided to subvert expectations. So I would imagine the next season the four original boys will be background characters so the girls can shine. Also, that little sister was annoying, but of course the critics raved and said that lesbian character was the best one.
Currently reading the LOTR trilogy. A few chapters into fellowship
I love those books but I hope you know what you're getting into. Paragraphs upon paragraphs of scenery-building. Peter Jackson didn't have to come up with creative designs for characters and locations because Tolkien already described everything in beautiful detail. He is the anti-GRRM. :)
Robert Jordan: You've got to bump those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers!
Ha! I actually finished WOT series this past spring.
I have no problem with detail. I remember hearing that GRRM wanted to subvert Tolkien’s tropes
Didn't he also paint pictures too? Tolkien i mean. I'm sure there was some art book of his I wanted to buy. I've only read "The Hobbit", so I'm not sure if the descriptions match his painting, match the movies.
