Can I just get a video of this narrator reading an entire set of encyclopedias? I love her voice so much.
we all love susannah's voice
Her intonations are too chipper at times.
Omg it’s so relaxing I CANTTTT
The division between the adult and child world is also emphasized subtly by the fact that Mike and friends plot thread is a completely different genre than the plot thread the adults are experiencing.
Thinking like a kid is like the most amazing way to think. It's a better experience
morikahjo you make a valid point, but I don't think rejecting the notion of "thinking like a kid" is entirely valid. The key to maturity and developing a healthy personality is learning how to outgrow the immaturities of youth without throwing the baby out with the bathwater. There are particular virtues and abilities that come much easier to children and the process of becoming a mature, learned and discerning adult, although necessary, can gradually diminish and degrade the idealistic, trusting creative and inquisitive nature of children that adulthood and harsh reality attempts to destroy and corrupt. Growing up, you start your journey of learning the wisdom that comes with age, knowledge and experience, but instead of letting it make you completely hardened, calluses, rigid and jaded, you have to learn how to rediscover what you lost from youth and reintegrate it into your adult self, maintaining the best qualities of both states of being.

Omara Oliver because you probably are
the adults can’t help? Didn’t Joyce and Hopper literally go to the upside down to save Will? And Joyce never was close minded, she believed Will was still there from the beginning. I think she is so underrated!
Joyce literally carries the whole show in each series/season
Joyce only really thought that way because it was her son that was captured, so she was desperate to finding a solution that wasn’t Will being ☠️. Hopper was very hesitant to listen to Joyce and the kids, he started off slightly belittling until he saw proof for himself (the same goes for Jonathan and Nancy)
I feel like the '80s is when you first start to see many movies not just with kids, but ABOUT kids, and that really started to get at the way kids think and feel.
"They haven't yet outgrown the ability to believe in supernatural or *stranger* things." ❤
Let the Right One In. In the words of Tomas Alfredson when he was interviewed regarding the adults who did not help Oskar being bullied he said, "the adults are not evil. They are just not there."
As adults we have to remind ourselves we must be there for children.
Why are you keeping this curiosity door locked??
YES! This video got me right in the feels. I love this show.
Rewatched this after Season 3. I think the issues in Season 3 was mostly stemmed from the fact that the friendship theme was not salient. It felt like they kinda overthrew this main theme until the very end of the season
OK... The opening title screen, RIGHT??? So well done. The music, font and colors are all exceptional. I never skip past it
Your voice is so perfect for these videos, and I loved the way this was broken down. Great job!!
Thanks Danielle!
I love all the "Stranger Things" content all my favorite channels are posting today.
This video LITERALLY changed my life so thank-you the Take!!!!!!
Please season 2 be good please be good please please please.
average review score for the 2nd season is higher than the 1st season
Mmmmmm hopefully I will agreed with that
Vicente Ortega Rubilar I have a a feeling we will all be pleasantly surprised
I watched it and my rating is a 5/5. Better as season 1 in my opinion.
Vicente Ortega Rubilar I give it a 5/7
So you're saying... Friendship is Magic?!?!?!?
Mana*
*Black magic*
I like how you used Karen and Ted as an example of what could happen if you pay attention to people who reduce your reality to nonsense (I also think a metaphor for the Patriarchy).
Watching this video I understand why Barb died :"(
10:24 These parents are entirely period-appropriate ... Kid has lunch at home, then Mom shouts as he's racing out the door "be back when the streetlights turn on!"
Odd that they're calling the classic Realistic TRC-214's "toys" when that 3-watt, 3-channel Cat. # 21-1637 handheld CB radio cost close to $200 each then (without the battery pack or crystals) and was ANYTHING BUT a toy. It literally cost more than some 40-channel CB radios designed to be mounted under the dashboard of a car or truck. (Vintage Radio & TV expert here, sorry). Still love the show, even though the 40-channel CB that I built into an old briefcase with heavy Power Wheels batteries around '83 and used that suitcase-sized contraption for emergency assistance during & after the Tornado of '85 in Ohio cost less.
I love your videos so much. Your narration is very good and it doesn't annoy me like a lot of other people.
So ready for this next season. 💜
I hope with all my life, that the second season is much more awesome than the first one (which fucking amazing). Also,I really hope that the end, Mike takes El to the Snowball
Siddhant Pandey for real me too. I also hope Will will be happy (lol will will) and that JohanathanXNancy and HopperXJoyce become a couples.
it was
I love analyses of stranger things
I appreciate the lesson this has taught me
Kinda weird that you and Wisecrack both posted a Stranger Things video about the power of childhood on the exact same day.
At nearly the exact same time too.
You could say its a bit strange
Hector Campo 😂😂
They're friends that's why, in case you're still curious... Watch the end of her Shameless video.
1:12 Lol I like how you put that scene while saying that 😂
Her voice is the reason I watch this film channel
First everyone makes a video about saw now stranger things. Halloween couldnt be better
I hope everyone makes a video about everyone else's video next. then everyone can make a video about how everyone did that. and then, Idk, like... pogs, or something.
ma'am (or whoever) your channel is amazing
Or whoever?
Great video! loved this unique insight
Thanks Neha!
Would’ve been funny if this was just like wisecrack’s video
Hugo Boss thought the exact same thing lmao
Hugo Boss that's what I came thinking it would be.
Jesus fucking christ. Please. Just don't. Does this honestly work, or are you just trying to bait people to no avail?
This made me cry
Another great video, here's hoping for a great season 2!
I'm really excited for the new season, I hope they don't screw it up.
MrSquifler same me too
Good news. They didn't ♥️
Before The Credits it's amazing
Have you seen it yet?
10:25 Nope, '80s small-town parents actually were that laissez-faire; that's accurate; which is funny when you think that there was more crime (per capita) back then compared to today. People are much more frightened now.
Ed Fagan I think the amount of crimes scared people into having a tighter hold on their kids nowadays and maybe that helped curb some kids turning into criminals.
watch those wrist rockets!
Good analysis as always!
kudos ScreenPrism
It should be noted that calling a slingshot a toy, especially a "wrist rocket" is rather misleading. You can injure and even kill someone really easily with one, and the wrist rocket is designed so that its braced against your forearm, putting even more power behind a shot. Its a weapon, just one that kids use more than anyone else.
The Cracked video taht dropped earlier had the same thesis.
Alexander Santoro
I think you mean Wisecrack. Two very different channels.
You sound like a WatchMojo narrator but your content is so much better than theirs.
love love loved the video
Thanks for watching Claudia!
While most of what you mentioned succeeded on me, the walkie-talkie comparison actually didn't resonate at all while I was watching, because I've never really thought of it as a toy. I didn't lower the stakes because I only perceived it as a way of communication. I guess there was security provided by the fact that it was a less accessible communication method, but it didn't get watered down for me. Just thought that was interesting
We'd all think like kids if the world wasnt completely fucked
TOMORROW!
Try harder to think like a kid. AMEN TO THAT!
As a kid I can attest to this being true
Making friends is easy 😂😂😂
Then y don’t I have any
Subbed.
seeing this video made me realize even more how much of a copy if IT this whole show is. thats not a bad thing though, i think IT is the best book ever written
6:24 ummmmm... Shows what you know, it isn't his fancy name for a slingshot, it's the name of the actual slingshot, I know because I had one. It's called a wrist rocket because it has a piece of support that goes on your wrist for stability, and the elastic allows for very powerful and far throws.
Live-action Earthbound
the only adult who knew shit was joyce smh
And when i was 7 y'old, i thought that being an adult is cool...
Season 3: *fRiEnDsHiP* ????? What's that??? Never heard of it
Everyone stay up till midnight because season 2 will come out at midnight
Just kidding lolol
The thumbnail looks like a Goonies sequel but with a black kid in the gang.
Stranger things at Halloween. Marketing 101. Enjoy these views
*SPOILER ALERT*
I always feel that these videos are over analyzing alot of things xD
Great content when stoned though xD
Nathan LandShark perhaps you're just not looking deep enough. Its important to be media literate.
First. Bwahahahah.
I think this s the first time I saw a "first" comment that was actually first.
* 80's American pop culture
Wisecrack did it first
The music with your voice distracts me, not fun to watch.
I want to be excited for this. But I just couldn't like the first ones! I wanted to. I just hated the acting
deadlegs187 what?
everything isnt for everyone. Props for posting knowing there was a chance you might have been crushed over an OPINION
Fair enough, but why are you watching a video about a show you don't like? And commenting to say you don't like it? You're entitled to your opinion, but that seems unnecessary.
