Discussion: Season 5, Episode 2 Join the Discussion
282Will Robin die at the hands of Vecna? It hurts the owl from such arguments
, and then it turned out that they not only gave up on her friend, who said that there are monsters that kill children, so Also, no one in the know has ever been interested in it....
It's true that Mike and Steve rarely wash their hair anymore, but okay :D
Henry-Vecna is again hiding beautiful worlds in children's subconsciousness, but again, how elegant he is in this outfit and knows how to attract attention to himself.
I hope she survives.🤞🏻
But then I realized that I really LOVE this character.😭
This topic of their similarity was raised earlier in the series, and in general, the father of the family was clearly not suitable as an example for Nance, but here this lookimmediately recalls the enraged Nancy with a gun from last season.
I just got high.
and 5 are all intense..
That's the moment when you're one hundred percent sure that your child is doing well in life.
Also the child: ...
A gorgeous scene and a contrast to the following events. I was very worried about them when they were in the bathroom.🙈
I feel sorry for Karen and Ted.
Mike and Nancy in hospital clothes ran away
After Lucas said that he felt that the final battle would begin today, I tensed up even more.
Everything is gorgeous, the demagorgon has been drawn very, very well, and now they show a long close-up of his mouth.
Dustin and Steve are my favorite duo, and I'm sure they'll make up soon.
With an imaginary friend, it was clear that someone was from the Wrong Side. But it's still good to catch up with suspense at the end of the episode.
And Vecna turns out to be like pennywise, he needs small children, and he doesn't eat them right away, but 'cooks' :D most likely, what he couldn't do with Will, he wants to do with Holly. And what exactly, we'll find out for sure. It looked like he was sending something through them.
Well, a nice horror house in the piggy bank.
Well, again, the soldiers couldn't do anything with the machine guns, and she hit at least 9 times with a rose.
How did they (the soldiers) manage to build a base inside out?
Karen and the wine, just like the gun that went off at the end🤣
And no matter what kind of monster is waiting inside, the mother is always scarier 😅
I feel sorry for Dustin, it's clear why he's changed so much, but I hope he understands that Steve and his friends are not his enemies and can help him. And then last season, Lucas also moved away, but it still hurts how it turned out.
Mike did well, in the last episode he ignored his sister's fantasies, but now he remembered and found out that it was Henry./Vecna. However, this is not surprising and is quite obvious. I also liked that in parallel with this, Will and Robin also guessed what was what. All that remains is to get information from Al and Hop to put everything together.
When Vecna's cute house was shown, I expected to see the same place at the same time, but on the Inside, it's probably not the time yet.
Seriously, could anyone doubt that Henry would be Holly's imaginary friend? It was too obvious.
The quiet little Will at the beginning of the first episode is, of course, unnatural, but an interesting beginning took us back to the origins.
Interesting tandems are coming up this season, and I like it.
Karen has always been an ambiguous character, but in the scene with Holly and demogorgon, she was fantastic. I hope both she and Ted get better. I can't imagine what Nancy went through when she saw her mom in such a state.
A very smart start. The only cons are Steve and Jonathan, who are measuring pussies.
Bringing Nancy and Steve together is like going along with the fans, just divorcing them is also so-so, killing Jonathan is how he spent most of his time going somewhere last season, except for this one, because now he's on the Inside. But now Steve is inside Out, and a lot more people (from what I see online) are worried about Steve and whether he will stay alive.
In general, it's a strange situation.
Is this some kind of crime, or is she able to stop growing up?
Or do you want to say that it was necessary to replace the actress in the fifth season?
But I must say that kmk Noah as an actor will be better and more beautiful)
There are a lot of parallels with different worlds. They've got it all together! Everything we could remember)))
I wonder if this was deliberately done, or if they just went so deep that they had to make Will such a persona.
. The bathroom scene is one of the most terrifying and exciting
. I'm even surprised that my parents are alive after so many injuries.
it was really smart of Vecna to scare everyone even more, to show that the visions were real
about an imaginary friend, it was obvious, it was a pity that they hinted so strongly, the wow effect did not happen
Was it because Henry liked Holly that she reminded him of his sister? age, appearance, blonde
hair created an ideal world where he still looks like a man
until all his motives are clear, why does he need children? raise an ideal army of people like him? But not everyone has the strength to create a universe where he's not a villain, but a hero?
Jamie Campell-Bauer, hooray, hooray, glad to see him not only Forever
the heroes really need to warn all their relatives, no matter how improbable it may sound, when so many people are saying the same thing, there is evidence in the form of Max, the disappearance of Will, Holly, the injuries of the Wheeler family, etc. in the end, it would be possible to show the power of El
, even though all roads are blocked, was it possible to think of a loophole and Should we at least evacuate our loved ones?
"I was wearing a hoodie."
- then it's another matter! Why were we crawling in the mud and hiding all this time, we just had to put on a hood?
How can we save America without Erica...
plus, I think she would have helped Holly well to join their strange team, because she is a little older than her, and she herself has only recently joined the whole fight against evil seriously.
@sigmawolf: you can just hide it under the spoiler on the lighthouse
It was understandable with Henry, but it's surprising that no one really paid attention to Holly's imaginary friend, they should have thought about it right away.
Well, I hope Max wakes up in the next episode, and Dustin's conflict./Stiva will be resolved.
Why didn't it bother them, especially after everything that had happened 🫡
I really enjoyed the interaction between Robin and Will. 🥺
Steve is kind of hysterical in this episode. I ran into Jonathan, who actually said that it was not nice to stick up to a girl when she was in trouble, then I yelled at Dustin, who was already feeling bad. I understand that Dustin is pushing himself a lot, but Steve could still support him. Steve is my favorite character, but if they brought me flowers and courted me when my parents are in critical condition and my sister is in danger, I would be angry. This is not the time to waste time on something like this, they should know now how Hopper and Al are doing, who, by the way, are doing something to find Holly
duo Robin and Will! many were waiting. Robin, as always, talks a lot when she's nervous ;)
the scene in which Nancy cleans the blood in the trailer made many people think that someone was going to die, so I was even glad that everyone was still alive, I'm honestly surprised that Tod survived.
, and back to the future they were "watching" a movie then in season 3))
Poor Mike, Nancy and Holly
- what? Stubborn brat?
But Karen is really a hero. Despite all the fears, I think even demogorg did not expect such a rebuff)
I also looked at Dustin in a slightly different way in this episode. Back in the car, when Steve kept pushing him, I saw Dustin not as a boy, but as a man.
And by the way, for the second series in a row, I'm paying attention to how similar Winona Ryder and Millie Bobby Brown are. Or is it all the tricks of the makeup artists?
Dustin only got off with a broken nose. We don't consider it too big. The story armor is like this
Due to the fact that I hadn't reviewed season 4 before the fifth, I'd already forgotten about Henry altogether, which was unexpected for me.…
"get away from her you bitch"
But if you dig into it, then earlier the monster had easily unwound the military, and then he barely bit his parents.
Good series, interesting teams. Robin and Will came the most, and Steve's van showed off his relationship with everyone, where everyone was right about something.
and her eyes, when Nancy said that she had been abducted... Wow, the actress gave her best, cried with her
I respect Karen, despite her fear, she did everything to protect her daughter and showed real strength.
I also admired the scene with Lucas and Max. I hope she wakes up as soon as possible and everything will be fine with them :(I will never stop admiring their love.
and most importantly, I would like to point out how cool Robin is able to solve riddles and come to a logical answer, even though she is a little worried and it is difficult for her to formulate thoughts. but she was the one who realized that Will was the "antenna" and showed him the right path. I was really looking forward to their duet and it did not disappoint.
The Russian code in the third season is due to her hearing and language skills.
The bookmark of Victor Krill in the fourth season. She guessed that information should be sought in non-standard sources, and not in serious publications, as Nancy had intended. Plus, her quick wit saved Max, because it was she who remembered the information about music therapy and understood about the "angel's voice" that Victor had heard.
Well, this season she has already managed to figure out what others did not pay attention to))
I really missed the series.
In the scene with the parents, it was thought that the stakes had risen for the final season, but no, both were hacked, but not fatally. In general, it's amazing how both of them survived to the fifth season without knowing about the Inside and monsters. Reality caught up with them in a cruel way.
I can't believe Mr. Whatsit turned out to be Funny. Oh, my. That's a twist. "The traitor turned out to be a traitor" (C)
Karen is gorgeous!!!
How cute Odie and Hopper are!
I don't understand why Henry needs Holly, why Holly?! Let's watch the next episode soon!
And remind me, didn't they burn down Henry's house at the end of last season?
And finally I saw the tandem of Mike and Nancy. I missed those clumsy siblings)
I even liked the way Mike was shown in parallel./Nancy and Will/Robin. It turned out to be a great scene.
(And yes, the pseudo-disassemblings of Steve and Jonathan are annoying. Although there's clearly a problem with Jonathan and his insecurities. Has she been walking around with an ever-unhappy face for two episodes and is still surprised that Nancy is more comfortable next to others?)
God , the Wheeler family , how beautiful it was , Mom protecting Holly
I'm so glad Dustin and Steve are talking, even if they're fighting, but Dustin needs it! And the scene with Hopper and Odie is wonderful when she treated his wound.
I'm very worried about Holly, AND I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
if you don't take the beginning into account, then the series feels quieter in terms of drive, but still gorgeous in atmosphere.
P.S. 2 episodes have passed, but where is Lucas' sister?
I'm waiting for Max and Erica to appear in the next episode)
Season five: Karen, alone with a rose in her hand, severely wounds the demagorgon, what a woman! 🤌🏻🔥
Joyce's obsessive desire to protect her son turned her into an overprotective mother. It's time for her to let Will become independent.
and the duet of Will and Robin is a dream. I love them together! looking forward to the moment when Will would open up to her. Robin is the only one who can fully understand and support him.
Henry's pocket watch is a direct allusion to the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. but the country here is not wonderful at all.
I'm a little disappointed with Mr. Who. I thought that a third party had appeared in the confrontation, but everything turned out to be much more banal.
The blood and wounds have become more realistic, and the series has grown with the audience.
Probably, no one has ever defended themselves against a demogorgon like that with bare hands.
It's unclear why no one paid attention to Holly's imaginary friend when everyone knows about Vecna's abilities.
And so everything is super
1. The main villain is humanoid with a disfigured face (inhuman color). Who is either standing or walking slowly in the frame.
2. The wall
Well, the main thing here is not to step on the same rake the Duffner brothers)
No one was looking for Justin until the evening (the man was beaten up! And Steve is still telling him off that he wasn't there!!!
I wonder where Argyle is, will he appear 🧐
is definitely the series for children "I wanted to say"
It's already starting to tinplate in 1 x 10 minutes
Robin's initiative seems suspicious, but I hope she's just smart and not something else.
And the scenes with Karen and Hopper's monologue moved them to tears, how much they love their children.😭😭😭
Hopper's flashbacks reminded us how much time has passed since the first season.
The song "Mr. Sandman" always gives me a chill, even though the song seems to be completely normal. 😬
In general, it inspires a range of problems.
in general, I don't want to say much, just to mention a couple of points.
For starters: Karen. I fucking admire this woman! none of the military could give such a rebuff to the demogorgons and cause them some kind of harm like she did! It was nice to see that, even when drunk, she stood up to the last to protect her daughter. Karen is a great mother, but a bad wife. I really hope that by the end of the season she will recover and everything will be fine with her! :(
The relationship between Steve and Dustin is straining.. I miss their fun and chaotic friendship. I hope they will have time to talk normally.
Dustin is painful to look at. Eddie's death had a big impact on him, and then there was the bullying, and it was pretty harsh. it's a pity that the rest, to a greater extent, turn a blind eye to this and just think that he went like a cuckoo when, on the contrary, he needs support and friends, eh
and the fact that Holly's invisible friend was Henry was to be expected. Back in the first episode, I thought about him in terms of clothes.
Joyce and Karen. mothers who are ready to do anything for their child 😎
The interaction between Will and Robin surprisingly brightened up the series, I didn't know how much I needed this duet until it happened.
A love triangle is annoying, it looks somehow strange and awkward. although it was fine last season.
However, their emerging bromance is the joy of my soul.
Behind the scenes:
"Don't touch my daughter, you bastard!"
Flux capacitor
Mr sandman
🤝🤝🤝
That's it with bare hands against a demogorgon…
The plot is super
And I also want to point out that the Will/Robin tandem was definitely not on my bingo card and I didn't even realize we needed it, but it turned out to be a good idea! I think that throughout the season, the conversation about their common "peculiarity" will continue to evolve, and we will still come to something specific regarding Will's love for Mike!
It was immediately clear that Vecna was the fictional character for Holly, how clever Vecna was, he thought everything out😏
, I'm surprised that the military is everywhere except in places where gg roam
, and I still haven't figured out how Jonathan and Steve go along the same route as hopper if hopper stopped by the base and goes somewhere there, and the guys seem to be in some kind of It's a backwater
, and by the way, I didn't understand the frame from the last episode - they showed the lab rebuilt from the inside out, did they rebuild it or just a reflection from the inside out?
The episode is interesting... I hope that everything will be fine with Holly, and not like with Will. 😩🙏🏼
This episode is more lively than the first one. But they still took out a lot of water. The series was delayed, it could have been shortened by 15 minutes safely.
, Will Vecna never seems to leave alone, but at least this has some advantage, suddenly it will help in the fight against him
The first episode was awesome, the second ruined the impression.
Vecna is not a sandman, does not appear in dreams and does not protect them. Vecna is a real monster that sows destruction.
A powerful moment!
