I Read A Lot About How Stranger Things Is Scary. I Dont Really Find Stranger Things Very Scary, Its Not

I read a lot about how Stranger Things is scary. I don’t really find Stranger Things very scary, it’s not like The Babadook or The Conjuring. For comparison’s sake it’s about as harmless as something like the level of Horror in the film Daybreakers. Daybreakers had some mild jump scares but it’s mostly a character piece. The real monsters are Charles Bromley and Bromley-Marks Pharmaceuticals.

The same can be said for Stranger Things. The demogorgon and the Upside Down are minor window dressings to a larger character narrative. Brenner, Owens and Hawkins Power & Light are more terrifying because they are preying on childhood fears and distrust and the fear of the unknown in the adults.

I see this pose used an awful lot in merchandise because it’s one of the few promotional photos of Brenner available.

What’s really going on is that Brenner is actually rocking on his feet and nervously biting his nails in anticipation while waiting for El to perform a task. He’s not putting his hand on his chin in an inquisitive expression. 

It’s just a little nitpick because I’ve seen this scene so many times.

Fans: Save us, Netflix and Hulu!

Netflix and Hulu:

Maybe it’s time to stop titling shows Deception.

I got Eleven. Cool I guess but I was always going to pick Dr. Brenner as my favorite secondary character! 😄
