thoughts in the comments only on chapter one last night was a pretty long night i watched the first
two episodes of obi-wan at 12 o'clock at night then i jumped right into this hour 18 minute long
episode so i've only seen chapter one so just let me know your pros your cons your thoughts
and theories for what you hope to see you you've probably finished it by now but let me know your
thoughts on the comments of this first chapter in this new season in the comments below and based on
the engagement and how i feel about the episodes i'm still debating if i want to do a episode by
episode breakdown and it won't be like given to you all by today it's going to probably be
over the course of this weekend maybe leading to early next week but i'm debating on what to do
with the series so again based on the engagement based on your feedback i might break down each
episode or i might just come back with you all to discuss episodes that really stood out to me
and we'll have you know we'll wrap it up with like a indian explain breakdown review of the
final episode of this particular part of season four so that's how we're going to probably handle
stranger things this weekend because i mean do our 10 hour 15 you know hour and a half episodes it's
many movies at this point but let's just jump right into it again this is a spoiler review
breakdown discussion about this first chapter and i guess just to kind of establish myself
for you all that might be first time watching this channel i am a big stranger things fan i
have reviewed the previous three seasons on this very channel so if you want to get my thoughts on
those episodes you can do so i'll leave that uh playlist in the description this video big fan i
recently this past week watch seasons one two and three back to back to back just to kind of
back into the mindset get back in the upside down go back to hawkins and these characters and i'm
very excited about this new season and here we are discussing it so again full spoilers ahead
let's start this review off in this discussion about the plots i should say that aren't too
enticing based on this first chapter and i want to start off by talking about the lovebirds
i'm talking about nancy and jonathan now for me i think one of them needs to be killed off by
the end of this season because jonathan i enjoy the actor i enjoy the narrative of the brother
big brother who cares for his little brother seems to be a good guy makes the right decisions but
to me his story ended back in season one and and they're just prolonging just kind of dragging him
along with this show because he really doesn't have that much to add to the main plot besides
being the loving brother good guy good boyfriend he's very stale in my opinion and he really kind
of brings down nancy stock because she is way more compelling she's a go-getter she has a lot more
drive she's more uh interesting in my opinion and she just they don't balance each other out
like i feel like she's much more of a compelling character and jonathan i know there's a lot of
jonathan fans out there but to me he's the least interesting characters entire show uh and when
we meet him in this season he's just kind of a you know a smoking weed he has his friend in the whole
like okay we love each other again to me based on chapter one and it might get better i doubt it
will because again i feel like there's their plot in it three seasons ago uh in my opinion but to me
i i think we'll talk about my theories a little bit later but that to me right now is the least
interesting thing about this new season so far but again we'll see if it gets better uh and i'll
eat my own words if it's like the best plot but in this show i would be surprised if that happens but
moving from that love couple to the will they won't they joyce hopper mixing murray into the
mix and i assume based on how this particular episode ended with the doll and the russian uh
package from hopper saying he's alive i'm not all that hyped i personally think the way they handled
the hopper death or the fake death of season three was so mishandled they they just couldn't keep
their mouth shut they just had to let us know that he was coming back that he put him in a promotion
that would have been such a great little reveal if they would have kept that close to the to the vest
i know there's leaks there's spoilers but i mean that would have been they they bit the
bullet on that they did not handle that plot well in regards to just letting people know that he was
still alive even the post credit scene of season three with not the american was just too obvious
but neither here nor there this potential what i assume to be a rescue mission to save hopper
i'm not all that interested in them i'm a big fan of joyce uh murray's a fun character i'm don't
get me wrong i am a hopper fan but it's just not that interesting and it seems if this is the case
they're going to be on this rescue mission they're gonna be on their own plot which i i'm not all
that interested in but hey we'll see let me know what you all hope to get again if you've seen the
previous episodes don't let me know what happens but just let me know based on your experience
with chapter one what were you hoping to get with that plot which brings us into the plots that i'm
somewhat interested in and i want to start off by talking about you know i'm a big fan
and this more so goes to me being a fan of her as an actress an up-and-coming actress i'm referring
to maya hawk who plays robin and her discovering herself this relationship she's trying to get into
or discover if she if the girl that she likes is even into her and if she even likes girls and then
throwing steve into the mix and them just kind of being on this path of discovering who they want to
be seeking approval seeking love from other people that that plot to me is very interesting because
those two characters number one are so much fun i am such a big steve fan and i'm gonna get into my
theories a little bit later with steve but i just think their chemistry between robin and steve is
just one of the more shining parts of season three for me and i just love them on screen
and i and i'm very interested to see where they take their narrative in this new season
and then the next part of the somewhat interesting compelling elements of this first chapter and what
i hope to get in this new season the powerless heartbroken 11 or should i call her jane
uh she's dealing with grief and when the girls were picking uh picking on her and making fun
of her the way she made her you know hero story and you know obviously still broken
uh english the way she's talking broken language i just i'm an l fan i'm an 11 fan uh we opened
the season which we already saw the first eight minutes they released that like a week ago but it
was still very very shocking i personally don't think that that is 11 i think she's possessed
by the big bad that we'll talk about at the end of this review but i really feel bad for her now
will i will man will's character is just this floating he's just he's an upside down with this
show and his narrative i don't know what they're trying to do with will i know they hinted at his
sexuality and what he might be into mike might be you know that painting he is painting something
who who's on that other side of the pain that would be interesting but i don't know if they know
exactly what they're trying to do with will and hopefully they don't fumble the bag if this is a a
particular plot where they're going to say that he is gay and it would be very interesting to see but
right now the way they're handling is just kind of just like uh we'll figure it out as we go along so
we'll see what's going on with there and again going back to l o'brinner situation i'm gonna
get into a theory a little bit later but i'm very intrigued to see with her knowing that he's still
alive how that's going to play into that plot but getting into easily by far the most interesting
elements of this first chapter which overall i'm going to get into that a little bit later
but i did enjoy this premiere don't don't get it twisted with some of the negative things i've said
so far i was very much a fan of this premiere but getting into the meat and potatoes are crew mike
dustin and lucas the whole dnd hellfire club angle versus the lucas trying to get into out of that
box of being a loser hits the game winning shot which i love the way they cut that when
they were playing the d and d game and they were playing the basketball game i felt the intensity
i really enjoyed that cut and how they put that together and him hitting the shot like i mentioned
and him looking for his friends to be there and they weren't there which i think is going
to establish the older they're getting the further apart they're growing and he even sees his little
sister who erica is just such a that young lady does such a great job i'm a big fan of her and
the way she talked to eddie who we're going to talk about here in a second i really enjoyed that
but he's like man they already replaced me i think he's going to veer off and get more and so maybe
i don't think they're going to establish him as like this jock bully to the to his old friends but
that might be something they do is to spice things up is make one of the closer
more important characters somewhat become a pseudo villain of a certain scent like i said like a jock
per se so we'll see what's going on there that very very much intrigued me next to that is the
max everything going on with maxim's first episode going through her depression going through her
anxiety losing billy obviously last season her mom going through this divorce uh going through
this alcoholism and all that stuff that to me was very strong very compelling and she's lost
right now and i really i'm very intrigued to see what they do with max because she was killing it
in this first episode and i'm very much excited to see what they do with that which brings me to
my new favorite character last but not least i'm talking about eddie y'all i don't know how y'all
felt about eddie but that actor who this is i have to look up his filmography he has so much charisma
and so much charm and just like the mixture of being this head of the d d he's two years uh you
know late from graduating high school he has so much screen presence i was just so invested in
him from the minute he hit the screen making the big scene at the lunch table then bringing it down
to earth when he's talking to chrissy when they're talking about what she's going through in the drug
transaction and then the last scene which we'll talk about here eddie's the man i hope he sticks
around because i am such a big fan of him and that leads into again tying that into chrissy and
how that ties into the big theme of this episode that's officially meeting our big bad this season
who goes by the name of vecna i am so invested in this new villain of the show because this is a
villain with a face and a body and a voice and not just a demogordon or a big giant bush of people
that is so imposing to me and he's just kind of this mix between pennywise meets freddy cougar and
it's not a coincidence that uh robert england is involved in this show and i'm pretty sure that
was his voice that they use for a vector but i am so intrigued by this character and just breaking
down the final scene of this episode they go to the house because she's having some issues
again freddy krueger not necessarily sleeping but she's almost like daydreaming and having these
like hallucinations throughout the day we saw it in the bathroom very pennywise moment it seems
like it's it's going for their fears and i'm going to get into my theory of what's going on there but
going into his trailer which max saw and again i mentioned freddy krueger i think this is very
much in the vein of nightmare on elm street part one when the boyfriend got blamed for the murder
i can see eddie being blamed for what happened to her him maybe either getting arrested which
i don't want to see that because he'll be in jail the whole season but i think he's going to be on
the run the whole season and our crew is going to help them investigate this this murder that's
going to be blamed on eddie but that moment when she's daydreaming in her mind and her mom is like
obviously they have some type of friction and some type of uh you know disagreements in their
relationship she goes into the room she sees her mom sees her dad with his eyes shut zipped up with
oh my goodness i'm a horror fan i was loving all that but when you see him live in the flesh and
just like i'm gonna i can't even do the voice i'm gonna take your pain away you're suffering and he
did the body [ __ ] he puts his hands in her face and we see the body cracking in the eyes busting
oh that was fire that was easily the most body horrific horror elements of this show so far and
if this is what's to come in this season i am all here for it so kind of getting into the transition
and wrapping up this video which is kind of overall fall to the episode and my theories
this to me besides season one episode one this is the second best premiere of this series so far
way better than season two way better than season three in my opinion it gave us a great idea where
these characters are not only physically but mentally where they are in their lives how they're
kind of trying to move on how some of them can't move on i love all that the scale of the show
looks bigger just based on this first episode apparently each episode was like 30 million
dollars or something like that and it shows uh and i'm really excited to see what they do
not from a visual st not just from a visual standpoint but just from
pushing the envelope and pushing the narrative and pushing these characters and diving deep into 11
growing up was that her was she possessed when she killed those you know order 66 in the first
episode here uh very excited for that element and just again i have my issues with
there are a lot of characters in this show so it does fear it have some fear and those first
few plots i mentioned mentioned jonathan and everything going on with nancy and joyce and
murray saving hopper plot and the whole wheel what they're gonna do with the wheel character
that stuff makes me a little bit nervous because it's like we're going to be spending half the show
on stuff i care about and then the other half the stuff i don't care about but i hope it all
comes together for a great season but finishing up with my and again second best premiere that's my
overall thoughts of this episode but finishing off with my theories i think vecna is someone
that is obviously tied to everything that we got with upside down and the whole connection to d
i think that he is haunting the people that lost their loved ones in season three all those people
in the town hawkins they talked about in this episode when they became informed to the big
monster i think that for some reason he wants to finish them off they're suffering all the people
they lost he's hunting those people connecting that to what we saw in the trailer with max
levitating floating in the air very similar to um chrissy this episode i think that that is the
connected tissue that he wants to just wipe out obviously he wants to take out the town wants
to kill everyone but in particularly i think first on priority is the people that were lost
in season three i might be wrong but we'll see what's going on there and i believe 11 will get
her powers back with the help of her original papa and brenner so i think he's going to be
involved and kind of switching the narrative because we see that they're trying to make him
look a lot different in this first episode like he did care he did have heart so i think they're
going to reform that relationship between two to help her gain her powers and then the death count
i think we're gonna see not only jonathan die murray is gonna die and i hate to say this but
i think they're gonna kill steve by the end of this particular part of season four and i don't
think they're gonna take out vecna by the end this season i think that this will be a character or i
should say this part i think they're going to finish him off by the season potentially
but i think he's going to be around for the duration of this particular seven episodes so
i'm excited i really enjoyed this premiere episode it was a lot of fun
the body horror was fantastic and i'm happy to be back in hawkins 1986 baby so that's my thoughts
on chapter one again in the comments just share your thoughts on chapter one nothing about the
other chapters i haven't seen it yet so don't spoil that of course you can share your theories
and your predictions but if you've seen all the episodes don't spoil anything uh at least for the

comments when it comes to spoilers but hey again based on the engagement based on your response
we can maybe do episode by episode reviews again based on the engagement of you all liking sharing
commenting uh and then of course i might do those if the episode has enough to interest me to break
it down individually so overall i'm gonna again base put it in you guys's hand if we wanna do
episode by episode or i might pop in when an episode really speaks to me or i might just wait
to the final episode give you my overall thoughts of the season a spoiler in and explain what it
could mean for the future type of video so i'm gonna put it in you guys's hands i'm about to
