When the worldview expands to great power conflict...

I've been looking forward to the update for a long time, but I'm still a little disappointed. I clearly feel that this show has a tendency to be unfinished. In this film, the screenwriter's heart has obviously grown bigger, and he even wrote that there was an underground fortress built by the Soviets under the town to open the door to the upsidedown. This way of writing is killing me in my opinion. It is directly separated from the world view of the original Xanadu town, and leads the world view to the pattern of the entire world competition, but this world view often has a significant flaw, that is, the authenticity cannot be guaranteed, which will make the audience feel super disobedient. , mainly in the following points:

1. As the only two superpowers in the world at that time, can the Soviets really resume such a huge underground castle under the nose of the United States? Where do weapons and equipment come from? Still wearing Soviet uniforms? If the secrecy works so well, why is the telegraph signal deciphered by several American elementary and secondary school students?

2. Take a step back and say that such a secret base can really be established, then the soldiers or scientific researchers in it must be of high quality (force or IQ), at least in terms of military literacy, not inferior to the average of the United States. Level, right (best guess)? How could such a military pass be broken by four children? The most discordant, the four children run away when they want to run in the base, and they push them away when they meet someone? Meow meow meow? A well-trained soldier can't even push you while standing, right? This kind of military quality, which the US military has not yet discovered, is being played around by a group of children in a small town. Who are you hacking? One black and two?

3. A fat sheriff in a small American town who lacks training for many years, can actually single out all kinds of well-trained Soviet spies (or special forces)? It doesn't feel realistic.

4. In addition, Lucas's little black girl is full of ideological things. Maybe in that era, or this era, Americans still think that way? If you write like this, the people of the U.S. imperialists look good?

In addition, due to the gradual increase of the BOSS's force value, it gradually changed from low magic to high magic. Therefore, in this season, the few people who came out of the small eleven basically belonged to the state of soy sauce throughout the whole process, which is the most obvious manifestation. What's more, when the boss attacked the cabin, a group of people blocked the door, and prepared shotguns, axes, etc., but they were easily penetrated by the boss. The shotgun ran out of bullets after a few shots, soy sauce, and the axe chopped off a few tentacles, so I could only rely on Little Eleven's superpowers. Therefore, if such a plot goes on, the male protagonist and his party will sooner or later become passers-by, and they are not in the same realm as Little Eleven. I don’t know how the plot and worldview will be bridged in the future. In the next season, the boss should be more powerful, so there are only three ways to solve the problem: 1. Humans dispatched troops and bombarded, the result may be effective/ineffective, but in any case, it leads the play to another type, Probably not written like this; 2. There are many teammates with superpowers like Xiao Eleven, working together (another Avengers?), the male protagonist team will probably not have any other effects besides providing IQ bonuses. Now, the key to this season's IQ seems to be Lucas' little black girl? 3. Little Eleven works hard to reach the realm of refining the virtual world (big fog), using superpowers at will, and the ability value is full without consuming mana. This is possible. I have grown up, and if I want to make a third season, most of them will start after many years...the story of how they grew up.

So, this season is not really good, let’s give it three points for feelings, the plot is actually quite old-fashioned, and the lightning and dark clouds don’t feel like watching, let’s see and hope that the next season will not end, why is it better now American dramas Both have a bad tail (yes, I'm talking about you, Game of Thrones!)
