I can’t wait for season 2 of Stranger Things.

Same. From what I’ve heard the story seems like it will be a natural progression of the story we got in Season 1 and I couldn’t be happier. I’m still worried that they might have let the success of the show cloud their judgement in certain aspects but they’re already thinking about Season 3 and beyond which means they were probably thinking about Season 2 while writing the first Season. That’s pretty endearing imo


The first Batman v Bane fight in TDKR was grueling to watch from an emotional standpoint. It makes Vader’s domination of Luke during their duel on Bespin look almost infantile in comparison. Reason being is that even though Batman was out of his prime he was still a very capable combatant as showcased moments before and to not only have him broken but belittled during their fight illustrated how deep in shit Batman was. All of the tricks he used on the uninitiated were either nullified or used against him and even before he resorted to using smoke bombs and the shadows he knew he was beaten. That primal yell he let out towards the middle of the fight conveys a stronger message than words ever could. To cap it all off shortly there after Bane reveals he is there to fulfill Ra’s Al Ghul’s destiny which at that stage in the fight much have exacerbated the impending dread 1000 fold. Not only does he have to deal with the reality of inexorable death he now knows the same man will bring death to millions of innocents and there’s nothing he can do about it as he was already near the limits of his durability. It was pretty heartbreaking to see Bruce to go through that but that along with his failures escaping it made his ascendancy a standout moment in a great trilogy.
