Um, that makes absolutely no sense. Are you trying to say that a bunch of kids in smalltown America fighting supernatural creatures is no comparison to Stranger Things? I challenge you to find a similar description that fits both TJ Hooker and Star Trek.
That's called "It" by Stephen King.
Hmmm, Finn Wolfhard seems to be the go to kid for supernatural fighters.

With a name like that, can you be anything else?
He's faced the demogorgon, IT and the paranormal all before he's twenty.
I feel like that could be a meme like Christopher Lee's laundry list of achievements.

William Shatner was in ST IV and T J Hooker at more or less the same time. There are police in ST IV. Therefore by the logic that this is ‘Stranger Things the Movie’ logically, ST IV is stranger things the movie.
And Loaded Weapon is it’s sequel possibly.
(Basically, no, I don’t think Stranger Things The Movie is an accurate description.)
Sure. Shatner playing two completely different roles is totally the same as what I described.
Só..erm...in what way is Finn’s character in this film (gleaned from his appearance in a trailer please note) similar to his Stranger Things role? You know, beyond looking like the same guy.
Chicken or egg.
Eighties paranormal stuff is full of that and similar set-ups, including RGB. And If switch ‘small town’ for ‘big city’ you just described Ghostbusters. It’s a set-up that continues well into the nineties. There’s a reason the boys dressed up as Ghost Busters in Stranger Things. That tone and style is already there in GB basically, and the whole ouvre. We might as well say it looks like Buffy, or Eerie Indiana, or It, or Signs....so no, there’s no Stranger Things in there beyond a shared actor. I don’t think it’s a valid criticism.
Nobody said it was a criticism, they literally said the movie looked fun.
Also, your list makes no sense. Buffy is a superhero and Signs is primarily about Mel Gibson, not the kids. The GBs are all adult professionals in the big city world. Don't remember much about Eerie, but wasn't the main character the town sheriff? The only stories in this comparison which follow a group of kids in small town america are Stranger Things and It and It is very clearly way more horror oriented than ST or this new movie, so it's not a great comparison, either.
Just because this movie fits into a certain genre does not mean it isn't clearly much closer to Stranger Things than many of the other things in the genre are. And the fact that ST is still 'on air' and a fairly big deal right now makes the comparison not just logical but pretty much inevitable. That's not some sort of attack or an accusation that it's abandoning the 'real' GB feel (this movie can easily be both a good GB sequel and also have a clear ST feel to it).
Eerie, Indiana is about a young man named Marshall, his parents moved from New York to get away from the city with him and his older sister. I think Marshall is about 13 and his buddy that helps him maybe 11 or 12.
It's kind of like Night Stalker but for the age group of the characters, I believe it was broadcast at 7:30 on Sundays back when it was on and I still watch it occasionally on Amazon Prime.

I remember that show. It was kind of fun.
^I must have been thinking of a different show, then.
Ah, google-fu says Eureka's the name I had in my head.

Well, maybe it was more to your taste. I laughed, it wasn't awful, but it wasn't good either. It had nothing to do with it being women either.
GB 16 they didn't feel like characters, it felt like caricatures of them characters. GB 84 was funny, but it was funny because they felt like real people in a weird situation. it felt believable. 16 did not.
Afterlife feels like it's grounded in a real place, and that's why it looks like it will be good.
Maybe, or maybe it was four of Egon's suits. we never see the names on the rest.
Or Egon had a kid BEFORE the events of the last movie. Ex-wife? Girlfriend who didn't say she was pregnant. there are many possibilities...
Well, your response to the trailer would in fact indicate that being the case.
You are of course, welcome not to attend.

To be fair, the ladies were tasked with following in the footsteps of four icons.
A tall order for any actor (it's like playing after the Beatles).
