If the first season can score 9 points, the second season is below 8 points, and the third season is up to 7 points. According to this rule, I will not continue to chase the fourth season. After watching the third season, there is only one feeling, that is, there are too many grooves, and I don't know where to start. I checked the score on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. The score is so high that I doubt my life. It can only be said that in 2019 today, as long as it is nostalgic, everyone is willing to pay for it, and the world is going downhill.
Say it before you rant.
- Fuhua Dao is super amazing, and this season has taken it to a new level.
The color scheme and dress style perfectly reproduce the dynamic and dazzling disco era. The makeup and styling design of all the actors make you feel that they all came out of the screen in the 80s, and the restoration is full of vividness. The costumes, props, set designers and makeup artists are full of respect.
2. The director/screenwriter is very good at character design and character shaping. It can be seen from the first season that one of the screenwriter's strengths is character creation. Every character in the first season can be remembered and liked by all audiences, whether it is the children's gang, little 11, Will's mother, the sheriff, Nancy's The love triangle combination, each has a personality, and each is brilliant.
The most lovable new characters in the third season are Robin and the little black girl who are with Steve. The captured Russian scientist won everyone's tears, the eccentric reporter Mury and the scientist's bromance are magic strokes, and the most outstanding ones are Steve and Dustin It is estimated that the author also found that the chemistry between the two was really helpful after pairing the two in the second season. He simply took Dustin out of the boy group and teamed up with Steve, and the effect was outstanding. As for the other characters, in my eyes, they were completely demoted or handled poorly. This part of the complaints will be discussed in detail later.
I am satisfied with the above two points, and now I will enter the topic of Tucao.
Slot 1: The most dissatisfying thing is that the screenwriter completely abandoned the mystery and suspense plot of the first season and turned to the monster zombie movie that does not require brains.
The Upside down in the first season is similar to the world setting in the table world of "Silent Hill". The human world and the monster world are in a parallel or mirror universe. They are the same space but theoretically cannot touch each other unless there is a crack between the two worlds. This season's Demigogen is elusive, and it may come out of a wall, which greatly increases the sense of tension and suspense.
The second season also adopted the theory of "same space, two worlds" when showing the shadow monsters. After Hopper found the monster breeding base in the pumpkin patch, the setting of the inner and outer worlds seemed to be forgotten. If you have to think about ways to deal with the shadow monsters, you will end up closing the door and hitting the dog.
In the third season, the setting of the source of evil was perfunctory to the extreme. The initial idea of a parallel world was directly abandoned by the screenwriter brothers, and replaced by a brainless movie similar to "Alien monsters invaded the earth" + superpowers manipulate the human body into zombies. With the setting of the film, there are not 10,000 or 1,000 stories of this kind. It can really be said to be boring to the extreme. Putting a novel and interesting idea aside, I went directly to CG monsters, which was a big step backward.
Slot 2: 11 ability. In the first season, 11 was very cool, a girl with superpowers, who was used as an experimental object by an evil agency. She used her superpowers to open the door to another world and attracted monsters from another world, so she was also a key figure in solving the problem. In this season, the ability to kill people by twisting the neck is gone, the ability of the brain to control the bleeding of a bunch of adults from seven orifices is gone, and the ability to fight monsters from other worlds hand-to-hand is gone, and the only thing left is the non-stop nosebleed.
In the first two seasons, when fighting monsters and exploring different spaces, it looked very high-level, and the nosebleed was justified. In the third season, manipulating a few mechanical toys caused nosebleeds, closing the door and getting nosebleeds, shaking a few bottles from the vending machine. Nosebleeds even after drinking. I don't even know if her superpowers are prioritized or not. According to this development trend, if she really fights a big monster in the end, it's enough to explode her brains, right?
As with not developing the initial setting, 11's abilities are unknown and 100% the writer's fault. You let a character have superpowers, but you don't give her any frame or limit, or even the slightest idea of how she uses her superpowers, so the audience's expectation of this character is that her superpowers can solve everything anyway. Problem, I don't even get nervous when they're in crisis.
For a person who has watched Riman grow up, after the theoretical baptism of the growth and expansion of combat abilities such as "Dragon Ball", "Yuyou Hakusho", "Hunter", etc., I basically have nothing to say about the superpowers in this film except shaking my head.
Slot 3: The old characters can't stand and there are too many characters, one by one.
Hopper: I know his good father character is very popular, but Hopper in the third season and Hopper in the first and second seasons are completely two people. In the first two seasons, the character's design was thoughtful, conscientious, calm and steady. In the third season, Hopper was roaring and furious from beginning to end, and there was no room for him to use his brain, except for bickering with people. go with. In this drama, the adult style that people can breathe a sigh of relief when they see it has completely disappeared.
Will: After being kidnapped in the first season, Will established a certain connection with the monster. If the screenwriter develops this entry point well, there will be many stories that can be told, but the screenwriter only regards him as a walking human flesh detector, basically There is only one line: He's here.
Will's mother: Just like Hopper, bickering all the way, it's not scary to start a fight, it's not convincing. And what's up with her sneaking into the Russ underground base with Hopper in the last episode, is she fighting or is she technically savvy? The people around, including (her own children), acted without the slightest qualms and didn't seem to think there was any danger in infiltrating a Russian military base.
Nancy and Jonathan: As an important story line, they were purely reduced to tools, and there was no spark in the whole process, so they played the hero and heroine of a horror movie, and the two characters did not develop or change this season.
Kids Gang other than Justin: There's a lot of screen time, but what else can you think of besides bickering? I just can't figure it out.
The new mayor: old-fashioned evil politician, lackluster.
Fake Terminator/Russian Killer: I don't think this person has any meaning, the meaning of existence is to remind me how lazy this season's writers really are.
A whole room of Russian generals, security guards, troops, scientists: they built such a luxurious underground base just to let these people play soy sauce. The four children came in and ran around, slipped around and went out. Comedy is not like this. No one could see them running around before, the two kids were pulling the door and couldn't open a group of soldiers, and suddenly they started punching Steve to the flesh, and they had to pull out needles and nails, etc. I really didn't see it here.
Billy: The choice of this character and the design of the shape made me feel stunned from beginning to end. Who would have thought that the image of the handsome prodigal boy in the 1980s was so greasy and rancid? . . I feel sick when I see him. . .
Monster: At first, Billy kidnapped the beautiful young lady to feed the monster. It was very worrying, but in a blink of an eye, she was well dressed, and she could still speak. Just when I felt that the screenwriter didn't intend to kill so many innocent citizens anyway, and after the manipulation, it will be released and restored to the original state, suddenly all the people under control were summoned, and then the shaking and shaking melted into a pool of blood and flesh. mud. Again, the screenwriter didn't explain the behavior mechanism of monsters at all, and never considered how to give monsters some characteristics to make the close combat part more suspenseful and exciting. Every time it was a closed door, one word, lazy.
