Netflix has shared a two-hour D&D Actual Play starring Stranger Things’ David Harbour,
Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, and Natalia Dyer as they all try to see which of their
characters is the most charismatic. The studio, in partnership with Wizards of the Coast,
shared an Actual Play tabletop video for Lost Odyssey: Toy Time for Ten-Towns, an appropriately
holiday-themed Dungeons & Dragons one-shot adventure. In the two-hour video, Dungeons
& Dragons principal story designer Chris Perkins guided the four Stranger Things actors through
a winter wonderland that’s hiding terrible secrets. It’s a mixture of laughter, tears,
and toys, but unfortunately, nothing major was revealed in regards to Stranger Things
4. We are still hopeful that something happens on Christmas or New Years, but we are going
to keep our expectations low for now in case nothing is going to happen.
In other news, while chatting with PEOPLE magazine, David Harbour spoke candidly about
the upcoming season of the popular Netflix series, describing how the fourth iteration
of the show is his favorite for his character, Jim Hopper. Detailing that the show's creators,
The Duffer Brothers, are "very responsive to the fan response" but also "a step ahead
with the script," Harbour told PEOPLE exclusively that audiences will "see a lot of your favorite
characters doing the thing that you love them for ... but you'll also see them twist it
and turn it into other colors and other flavors." It sounds like there will be lots of twists
and turns this season. He later continued; “And one of the great things that you can
see with Hopper is that he was a protector, he's a man of justice [and] he now has become
a prisoner," he shared. "He's trapped and he's isolated...And we get to see an entirely
other color of him that has been hinted at," Harbour added. "... This season is my favorite
because he really is going to show you some new colors and what he's really made up of."
Some fans theorize that one of the 9 episodes will be a bottle episode about Hopper’s
origin story. Harbour seems to imply this when he says that "You really do get to see
a lot of his backstory of who he was as a warrior in a sense and sort of the mistakes
he made in the past come back to visit him...And he just sort of unfolds." Harbour also shared
that other characters in the series will similarly receive "great fan service stuff that you
love" as they also "get elaborated [on] and reveal different aspects of themselves," including
his young costars, who have visibly grown up throughout the progression of the show. Lots
of people on social media have voiced concerns over this “fan service” comment that he
made, with most pointing to the quality of Stranger Things being on a downwards trend
due to season 3, which many have criticized its tone for being too comedic and campy.
We also got a report stating that the entire production this whole week took place inside
this studio, so a lot of indoor scenes have been shot. With the holidays fast approaching,
I think we should get ready for another break in production, as cast members and the crew
would want to go back to their families for this holiday season. Overall, very exciting
times.
And that is all that we have for today. Did you guys see the entire 2 hour video of the
Dungeons and Dragons game with the cast? What do you think of David Harbour’s interview?
Should we be worried about too much fan service being in the show?
