The author said: To be honest, I said that I want to keep chasing for ELEVEN, but this season is so cruel that I almost want to give up the show.

To ELEVEN (2): The Growth History of Lonely Girls
To sum up the three seasons of Stranger Things routines:
11 opened the door - 11 closed the door - the bad guy wants to open the door again - our team blocked the door (please open and close the door, are you tired, stupid humans)
or this:
The small team found 11 - protected 11 - was rescued by 11 - started to rely on everything 11 - 11 retired from injury, the rest of the team came back online (…)
No wonder Finn joked in an interview that the finale was "Eleven dies, the end."
I forgot the staged theory of child psychology that I read a long time ago. Generally speaking, children's growth will go through a process of ① acceptance-response -- ② imitation -- ③ formation of self-personality -- ④ self-centeredness -- ⑤ transfer to others status. "Stranger Things"'s shaping of Xiao 11 is actually quite staged. The first season is basically ①, the second season is mainly ②③, and this season is mainly ③. The first two stages are important stages of children's socialization, which usually occur between the ages of 3 and 7. However, because Xiao 11 was raised abnormally for a long time, the degree of socialization is very poor. It took two whole seasons to learn how to be in society. Role-playing skills that are considered "normal". This speed is still very good, slightly better than the wolf child.
(Your 11 is still, pretty is pretty, awesome is bitchen, vocabulary... oh, it's still richer than those of you who have been learning English for more than 20 years)
From the second season, Xiao 11 began to explore his own position, searched for relatives to develop super powers, and finally chose to return to the team to become the super hero of his friends, which is a confirmation of a social role. Season three is a new exploration of gender roles. The first four episodes of this season were so good for Xiao 11 that I was delighted. Netflix is a big company controlled by capital. The audience likes to watch what they want. According to the popularity of my family 11, it should not be abused again ( The back is really full of slaps in the face, Netflix: Hehe, whoever the audience loves, I abuse who)...
At the beginning of this season, Xiao 11 has a female peer friend Max for the first time, which is very necessary for Xiao 11's growth and integrity. You must know that Xiao 11 cannot go to school because of his special status. He is confined at home for a long time. The only social objects he has are the sheriff's father and his little boyfriend Mike. The addition of Max has expanded Xiao 11's social scope, and the richness of information is also obvious. Before your 11, you followed Mike to watch Marvel, and Max has always taken a fancy to DC. The most important thing is that in this way, Xiao 11 can find his gender position in the society he lives in, and learn some "things that belong to girls".
(But the scene where 11 picks up on Max really reminds fans of how you overturned other people's skateboards in the second season. Hahaha, I don't believe that Max doesn't know that 11 did it at all (´•ω•`๑))
This is also one of the things I like about "Stranger Things". This drama seems to be a horror drama, but in fact, fighting monsters is not the point at all. It focuses on the growth of the characters and the interaction between the characters. This is also the core element of "storytelling". (Can Game of Thrones next door learn something?) So while the monsters in "Stranger Things" are used to create a thrilling atmosphere, a lot of the plot focuses on the details of the characters' interactions, which are very trivial and very real. I can remember the stalk of the first season of Little 11 playing Mike's rocking chair for half my life.
This season is also doing very well. The sticky Mike & El duo entering puberty and the grumpy, worried-faced dad, the boy squad split by their relationship, and the middle-aged group who dislike each other and are not upright, The friction between these people, some are touching, and some can't help but smile. This season is definitely the most laugh-intensive season in the three seasons. At least I laughed happily before this drama started to abuse Xiao 11.
I remember Finn said that the first kiss scene was watched by 200 people. It was embarrassing. He was also very depressed. parents are still present). Finally went back to get the pillow to practice kissing. Millie laughed convulsively from the side. This season, these two seem to have finally mastered the kissing skills, although the whole scene is very funny with the distress of the single dog.
How happy I am that Xiao 11 has "the troubles of normal people", which means that she is temporarily free from the cold laboratory, painful experimental equipment, long loneliness and darkness, and all kinds of monsters. She can gossip, go shopping with her best friend, quarrel with her father, and break up with her boyfriend. These daily worries are too rare and precious for our ordinary worries and for Xiao 11. When 11's superpowers can even be used just to play games, I have a heartfelt tribute to Netflix's dad.
You know, in the first season, when the boys first saw the chrysanthemum monster and were scared half to death, the little 11 who was the same age as them had been forced to see the monster countless times in the experiment, and even had to touch it. Even after leaving the lab, 11 was constantly forced to face terrifying and disgusting vicious monsters throughout the first and second seasons. This season, she was almost eaten by a monster, and she had to endure severe pain to pull the monster out of her wound. Everything that a normal person can easily have is extremely extravagant for Xiao 11.
Xiao 11 and Max went to the mall and made fun of passers-by and dumped their boyfriend. It really can't be too cute.
11 Big watery eyes looked at Max in confusion: "Friends don't lie."
Max answered even more: "While boyfriend lies, all the time."
Two brightly colored girls laughing on the bus is one of the most beautiful and bright scenes of the season. Max taught Eleven other parts of her life so she could be more than just Mike. In other words, let her love Mike in a different way, not the original kind of love that is all dependent, but a kind of love with rational addition, with "self" love.
Although poor Mike, he basically did nothing this season, and he was threatened, dumped by his girlfriend, dissed by his girlfriend... It is no wonder that the leader of the former team is now offline, and the blow is too heavy.
In the first season, despite his weak strength, he still wanted to rush up to stop the monster to protect Little 11, and was finally thrown by 11 to pia to the wall. Little Mike, in fact, has not changed (oh he has become handsome). Love makes people vulnerable. I actually disagree with Max's complaints. Does Mike really distrust 11's abilities? He just loves someone too much, so in his eyes, no matter how powerful 11 is and how many times she has saved them, she is still an ordinary little girl. His first concern was always whether she would be hurt. After two seasons of 11's self-sacrifice, he is actually the person who knows 11 best. Max said that 11 knows his limits, but clearly when 11 made sacrifices for them, he never cared about his own limits, nor did he Care about your own health and safety.
Watching the person you love the most choose to sacrifice, because you want to respect her (him), should you not interfere with her (him)?
I can't do it anyway. Mike probably did too.
She always tried her best, even sacrificing herself. In the first season, he was so afraid of the dark, but he still had to lie in the cold salt water to save Will. For Mike, he fainted directly after blasting the guards. When she said "goodbye Mike", she was going to die with the monster. Unlike Max who grew up in a normal society with love and self-awareness, Xiao 11's sense of self is very weak. One of the few places in the play where she is self-conscious is her brief adolescence rebellion and runaway when she quarrelled with her old father. Other times, she's either taking care of friends or protecting lovers. If it is said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, Xiao 11 is always forcing himself to exceed the limit of his ability to bear.
She is not a machine, and then she overdraws herself like a machine.
In fact, every time I watch 11 use superpowers, I get very worried. She is not an X-Man, and her abilities do not come from the natural strength caused by her body's genetic variants. This ability was brought by her mother through trial and error, which itself will cause damage to her body. She has been used as a tool for training for a long time, and after leaving the laboratory, she still consumes herself constantly for her friends. Every time Xiao 11's nosebleeds and collapse after overusing his superpowers are a hint. In "Blade Runner", T, the president of clone design, once said that a bright candle burns the fastest and ends the fastest. In this setting, if Xiao 11's body structure does not change, the super power may eventually kill her. Overuse of superpowers in this season leads to loss of ability, which is already considered a minor consequence.
Why does 11's character have a large number of fans? In the E7 of the second season and the beginning of this season, Xiao 11 was led by 008 and Max to find and enjoy herself, but in the end she would choose to abandon herself. The setting of such a tragic hero is placed on the body of an ordinary little girl. The contrast is too great. The intensely burning brightness is too pure and gorgeous.
That's why 11 was able to wake Billy up. Through her, we can see the memories of others, and perhaps the long-term loneliness has made her better understand the feelings of lonely people. Her ego is made up of caring and loving for others, which is so sad that she has learned to love in the past eleven years when no one has loved her.
Injured and collapsed, she still said "I can fight." Even though she lost her ability and couldn't even hold a soda can, she still rushed up when the monster came.
I have to brag about Millie's acting skills again. After trying his best to pull out the bug in his leg injury, he looked extremely painful, patient and angry. When he saw the sheriff's father coming, he showed a trace of relaxation and peace of mind. . The loss and doubt after losing superpowers are expressed very well.
So I am not only sad that Xiao 11 lost her superpower, but also a little comfort. Maybe without her superpowers, she can be an ordinary person with peace of mind and live a normal life without overdrafting herself and taking on these terrible responsibilities. And her friends, ordinary people, got rid of the dependence on her superpowers, and began to protect the superheroes who lost their powers in the way of ordinary people.
But when she couldn't reach the doll bear who had been holding her for a whole childhood, and her eyes were full of loss, I was still sad with her. Without superpowers, I always wanted to protect other people's little 11. How should I protect it in the future? What about yourself?
Fortunately, Mike made up for this momentary loneliness with his height in time. Mike, who had grown into long legs, took down the teddy bear and handed it to 11 lightly. Perhaps, in the ordinary world, love is the only superpower.
It was as if 11 was reading the letter from the sheriff's father in the room and crying, sitting by the left car window, the sun was unevenly shining on the beautiful side face of the grown girl. Someone is really in love with her. The love became her tears and a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. And she is growing up and getting stronger.
PS (the following is Tucao)
This season is really sweet in the front and cruel in the back, and I want to call the police every minute. Netflix, come out and take a look at the audience's blades. Which mother fan can see that her daughter almost had her leg bitten off and she had to take out the infection herself? Still dragging the injured leg and running 10 kilometers? In the end, do you want to separate from friends and lovers?
The monster setting is still very retro. Imagine if Mind flayer wanted to control 11 like Billy, so that 11's superpowers could be used for himself. This ending may be more terrifying - if 11's superpower becomes the villain, humans have no chance of winning. As a result, the villain planned to use the method of making meat sauce zombies to devour 11. Hey friends, you are the big boss, don't you think it's a waste? Isn't a zombie siege more aggressive than using a big monster? And you are so old, you still can't let go of my 11, what are you doing, there are 11 11s that can't stop you. The efficiency is too low. In order to prevent an incapacitated 11 from dying before he succeeds, the town residents still don't know what happened.
For example, Mrs. Wheeler, in the last season, everyone blamed her for putting on a mask and taking a bath. This season, everyone blamed her for sitting on the Ferris wheel in the playground. How quiet the years are. And, can I watch X-Men team battle monsters next season?
In order to play the role of social disorder Eleven, Millie has controlled her stubborn nature for so long, it's like a dragon mother controlling her eyebrows hahaha.
