Spoilers Stranger Things - Season 5

io9 has a partial cast list:
  • Brooklyn Davey Norstedt as Eleven
  • Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max
  • Luca Diaz as Mike
  • Elisha “EJ” Williams as Lucas
  • Braxton Quinney as Dustin
  • Ben Plessala as Will
  • Brett Gipson as Hopper
Odessa A’zion, Janeane Garofalo, and Lou Diamond Phillips have also joined the cast in currently undisclosed roles.​

As I've mentioned before, I think it's a much better idea to recast the characters with actors who can recreate the voices instead of the original cast trying emulate their younger selves. Plus, that was a classic hallmark of 80s animated shows of live-action films.

...also...Janeane Garofalo?! Hell, yes! I didn't think it was possible but now I'm even more excited about this show!
 
Yeah, I was wondering how they were going to handle the kids for that. I wonder why they announced Hopper but not Nancy?

I've watched the first two episodes of Season 4 and El's bullying really is impacting me emotionally. I've said in this thread that I think she will die in Season 5, and I think part of the reason why is I want Eleven to be at peace with herself. She was picked and prodded in a lab, already isolated from society and when she does try to have a normal life, she gets bullied and emotionally assaulted to the point where she breaks and hits the bully with a roller skate. It was pretty jarring, actually, almost to the point where I could totally understand why she did it.

I don't know, I'm kind of hoping she survives. after everything she's been through she really deserves a happy ending. Which is part of why I could see them killing off Hopper, that ways he can have a happy ending, but still lose something.

While I had hoped they'd used tradition two-dimensional animation style of the 80s, I nonetheless love the animation style they have used because it still has an 80s feel to it.

Hopefully we'll get a proper trailer soon because I'm really looking forward to this adventure.

That does look like a lot of fun, and the animation is a nice combination of modern CGI, but with an '80s animation influence in the style.
 
Just watched Dear Billy. I forgot how intense the Running Up That Hill scene really was. I was doing this rewatch for Season 5, but I haven't seen Season 4 since it originally aired and to see scenes like that again for what feels like the first time makes this season worth it.

Duffer Brothers Respond to Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour Bullying Claims at ‘Stranger Things’ Premiere

Director and executive producer Shawn Levy also calls some of the stories about the viral report, which claims that Brown accused co-star Harbour of harassment and bullying, “wildly inaccurate.”
www.hollywoodreporter.com www.hollywoodreporter.com

My own guess: The interviews don't claim the allegations are false or that nothing like this happened. They probably clashed on set during filming Season 5, and egos got inflated. Then a complaint was filed against Netflix. After that, Netflix conducted its own internal investigation and finally settled the matter.

They're Millie Bobbie Brown and David Harbour, Hopper, not Hooper, and Eleven are their characters.

That's an interesting article filled with speculation and little on actual details of the incident. It implies that this complaint was around something of a sexual nature and that it was filed before Season 5 even began filming. There would be much more of a scandal if this had actually been sexual harassment, I think. Brown would still have been a teenager at the time.
 
Finished my rewatch tonight, so the wait to the new season is about 2 and a half weeks and not 3 years. I really wish Season 4 was given like a 15 episode season so the episodes don't feel as long as bloated. While I liked the finale, I wonder how it would have been had it been split into like 3 episodes. It's really my main complaint with the streaming era. You get so little episode count and then the wait to the new season feels longer. Other than that, I enjoyed this rewatch and I'm looking forward to the final season. I really do wish they had explained how Brenner survived the Demogorgon attack though. Kind of felt a bit incomplete without some sort of reveal or hint at least.
