The girl-bossing in Stranger Things S5 is another example of how this show has fallen off…
Nancy Wheeler, who is 5 ft. nothing 90 lbs soaking wet, is like a Navy SEAL and John Wick combined, taking out highly-trained military personnel. She also broke up with her bf because she need “don’t need no man” and needs to be “independent” so she can “find herself” 🙄
Mrs. Wheeler is also portrayed as a certified badass that can fight against a FREAKIN’ Demogorgon with JUST A WINE BOTTLE, injure the creature, while everyone else gets mauled immediately, somehow the attack, gets a bunch of love from her kids, while her husband is neither talked about, nor shown any care/sympathy for by the characters. AND then she’s able to take our Demo Dogs in a pivotal scene in episode 7…
Robin’s character has been elevated to a main character for “LGBTQ representation” only, randomly having more answers to the problems the group faces than most of the boys, & she is portrayed as one of the most vital characters simply because she’s gay. She’s basically a yoda-like mentor figure who helps Will “reach his full potential” by encouraging him to embrace his homosexuality.
Eleven’s sister is a total waste of a character that serves the purpose of causing a rift between her & the men that care for her the most, Hopper & Mike. She’s even trying to convince Eleven that settling down in a place far away from the horrors of Hawkins with the love of her life, is dumb.
The Duffer brothers/Netflix have diminished great, foundational, male characters so they can elevate women. Just one of many dumb decisions this show has made.
And if the flooding isn't horrific enough in the Philippines, there are snakes swimming through the floodwaters.
Absolute nightmare fuel. 🌊🐍 😳
