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.
I’d say a good gay character was Warehouse 13 and Torchwood because the story came first. Now with Torchwood I fast forwarded through gay romance scenes. Now something that focuses solely on the gay aspect isn’t something I’d watch but I think most would say that. But a murder mystery with a gay detective where the focus is on solving the crime? Absolutely
Jack wasn't supposed to be "gay". He was omnisexual, which is a VASTLY different thing (and more in line with what his rival was into, lusting after the poodle). Not that I approve of that nonsense either, but the faggots went and appropriated Jack as some kind of fag hero while patently ignoring the "OMNI" part of his 55th century sexual bullshit.
The showrunner under whom Jack was introduced actually wasn't into the prog bullshit - the whole thing with the mixed couple in Gridlock was meant to show how absurd sci-fi sexual freedom is. And yes, I AM talking about the box of kittens.
Exactly! Warehouse 13 was a great show. The gay character got developed properly - being gay wasn't his main trait. In fact, that didn't come up overtly for like, half a season. And by the time the "reveal" happened if you want to call it that, there had been enough subtle hints along the way, we all knew. They could have dove further into developing that character, had the show continued, and I don't think anyone would have complained.
Heck... They even got away with genderbending a historical figure on Warehouse 13! In a way that, again, made total sense. Because the writers of that show had this thing called talent. Its crazy. (Specifically trying to avoid spoilers on this one, i could gush about it for paragraphs, lol.)
I just figure I've been spoiled by things over the years. Specifically, watching a lot of Sci Fi shows. Star Trek, Farscape, Stargate, etc. - A lot of sci fi has been doing all these things sensibly for like, 50-60 years. Now everyone else is ham-fistedly trying to catch up.
