lurking era

Ok hear me out. Stranger Things set in the 2000s, but with the same dedication to being a period piece. Will is stumbling around the Upside Down singing Bring Me To Life by Evanescence. The boys still talk on radios because they don't have phones, and Nancy is always running out of minutes. To get Max away from Vecna they have to frantically find Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson on her iPod shuffle, and then later they have to make it the ONLY song on the iPod shuffle. The guys at Hawkins lab hack Barb's MySpace to make it look like she ran away. Ted supports the war in Iraq. Murray is a 9/11 truther. Jonathan has the emo haircut and Steve has the Beiber. Nancy's hair gets flatter and flatter every season. Do you guys see the vision here

Dr Kay wants to use El to find Osama bin Laden

excuse me for stating the obvious but like. james gunn outright calling superman an immigrant and doubling down on it when he got backlash (because he IS an immigrant, that's the point of superman) + the in-movie dialogue of "aren't you going to read me my rights?" "you're an extraterrestrial, son. you haven't got any rights to read." + the violence of his arrest and how they torture and mistreat him unapologetically, all under the guise of "protecting america", in a film releasing during the onslaught of violent ICE kidnappings and abuse... yeah it's really no wonder right-wing knobheads are crying about this being woke. they're being forced to look directly at the reasons one of the most well-known and beloved heroes of all time would not be on their side. and that's only ONE of the reasons this movie covers

elphaba and glinda's scene at the ozdust ballroom is already heartbreaking as it is. but the previous scene? elphaba literally told madame morrible she would quit working with her if glinda wasn't included in the classes as well. she risked her dream of meeting the wizard for glinda, she thought that was worth it for her. you don't do that for someone just to repay her, you don't do that for someone you supposedly hate so much.

both have undying loyalty for their masters but one is born from fear and conditioning and the other is born from love and trust. do u GET it. do u UNDERSTAND.
