Stranger Things S4 Ep: 1 & 2 (FULL REACTION)
Added 2024-10-16 10:27:08 +0000 UTCThat. was. DISGUSTING.
Nah but for real that was kinda disturbing the direction they went in this season. I love the themes of trauma and shame being the forefront of this season and there are a couple new characters I already adore!! Enjoy :)

Hey, Aussie. I really was shaken and a little anxious 😟 watching this with you. Truly enjoyed it. Poor crissy. I truly felt her pain. Bulimia is one of the worst addiction you can have, same as anorexia. I'm going to be opened a little. I had both. I'm fully recovered now. Dark fun fact, those addiction top all of the other addiction, including suicide. It breaks heart to see some go through that. Thank you for being so opened with us. To be honest, I feel special 😌 when clarify or being vulnerable. Warms my heart. Thanks.

2024-10-25 13:39:33 +0000 UTCI've been refreshing the page often since yesterday, hoping the next two eps have been uploaded 🤣. I'm so excited I can't waaiiiit!

2024-10-24 13:24:34 +0000 UTCWatching this for the second time, the end of ep 1 definitely was inspired by “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” There is the young girl, trapped in a dream, running through a creepy area while a menacing voice taunts her. She shares the same gruesome fate as Freddy’s first victim “Tina” including being thrown up to the ceiling and mutilated.

2024-10-22 22:20:57 +0000 UTCThis morning I just realized that the hand soap we have in the bathroom is Stranger Things Eddie’s Leather Jacket. 😆
Teej
2024-10-22 16:42:22 +0000 UTCIt was absolutely wrong for El to clock the bitch with a roller skate but also yes it was deserved 😆 I don't feel one bit sorry for her. Bullies are the worst. I've told my kids many times that if they accomplish nothing else in life, they need to at least be kind people.
Rhetorical Thrill
2024-10-22 02:40:38 +0000 UTCBeetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands are so fantastic! I love Heathers myself but it's very specific to its time period so I understand not everyone gets it or likes it.
Rhetorical Thrill
2024-10-22 02:32:40 +0000 UTCi saw a meme that was like "mike's dialogue in this season is like when you're playing episode but you don't have any gems so your dialogue options are the worst" and it's so true 😭😭 like at the skating rink, will was being vulnerable and expressing how hurt he was about mike not reaching out and explaining that it wasn't exactly great being a third wheel that whole time, and mike's response was "yeah, whatever, man" LIKE BRO 😭
aleena
2024-10-22 00:25:31 +0000 UTComg i remember thattt
aleena
2024-10-22 00:19:30 +0000 UTCIt’s the fact he was ALWAYS there, Will knew he could say anything to him and he’d help. Not to spoil s4 but I can’t help feeling it would’ve been different given will knew Mike’s sensitive side that has evaporated over the course of a summrr
Thomas B
2024-10-20 23:06:18 +0000 UTCI do agree on that one. It's really difficult to see someone who was always on Will's side, the one who ABSOLUTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY believed that Will was alive beyond anyone else in the first season... and now all of a sudden doesn't even seem to really care that Will is... hurting and having troubles. Like, shit.
Kristen Patton
2024-10-20 05:41:02 +0000 UTCThe shift from Mike the sensitive emotionally available friend to uninterested and unavailable is difficult to stomach
Thomas B
2024-10-19 22:12:12 +0000 UTCI’m currently catching up on your reactions for this series (sometimes the vids won’t play properly, they buffer for minutes, then play for a few seconds, and repeat) but I’m just jumping in here to say that this seasons is one of my favs out of any tv-show. I think they’ve done a brilliant job with the villain being an allegory to mental health. I’ve got more to say about a later episode, but for now, just… enjoy. 🙂 Oh, also, if you decide to react to ”A Quiet Place: Day One” you’ll get to see Joseph Quinn (Eddie) give a great performance.
Tingeling
2024-10-19 16:55:49 +0000 UTCHonestly, I remember a LOT of people not liking Mike much at ALL during this season because of how he treated Will. Like, Will's side is understandable because he's trying to stay out of the way of Mike's relationship with Eleven. But Mike telling Will 'maybe you should've reached out more' just tore a lot of things sideways because Will has been trying his damndest, as far as we've seen, to be on Eleven's side and try and make things better for her. Yet Mike just WILL NOT hear him out and is blaming Will for things being different, for not being told of Eleven's situation. I mean, it's understandable to me that Will thought Eleven would've been telling Mike the truth the whole time they've been gone what with her whole 'friends don't lie' obsession since the beginning of the show basically. But it is also understandable that Eleven, who finally has people who care about her and after the experiences with Hopper last season, wanted to at least make it seem to Mike like she was happier than she actually was. Wanted Mike to feel like everything was okay. But, like... things just went so far downhill so fast for everyone in these first two episodes, and it only keeps going from here. Jeez. It's so chaotic.
Kristen Patton
2024-10-18 07:15:17 +0000 UTCYes!! Can’t wait for you watch episode 4! Probably my favorite episode of the whole series

2024-10-18 02:27:54 +0000 UTCCome on Oscar just slip up and make a random reaction upload 😂🤣 The wait is unbearable lol I love your reactions!!! Stay blessed 🙌🏽
Derrick Belone
2024-10-17 20:32:50 +0000 UTCBIG SAME. I kept hoping it might come up in the first couple of episodes, even just a cursory mention of Hellfire. But, alas. :( Still, as an avid D&D player myself, I was just happy to see them bring some integrity back to the game itself, rather than it standing in as something childish and borderline stupid, which some of them were outgrowing. This felt like a return to the S1 D&D vibe and that was a big relief.
Robin
2024-10-17 18:44:35 +0000 UTCI was the one who punched 👊 bullies )) Or just when I don't like someone's behavior. And then when someone's mommy came to speak to me I was satisfied thinking " I'm a solid fighter and you bring your mommy" 😁 I'm a winner

2024-10-17 16:22:49 +0000 UTCI'm in the same shoes as him , not into spooky season - but I love horrors )) It would be great to see Final destination stuff or smth

2024-10-17 13:47:42 +0000 UTCBack at you! Sending love and positivity your way.
Teej
2024-10-17 13:45:16 +0000 UTCOh my gosh, I forgot about that opening scene! When this season first premiered in the US, it was only a couple days after the school shooting in Uvalde Texas, so Netflix added a content warning at the beginning that said, “We filmed this season of Stranger Things a year ago, but given the recent tragic shooting at a school in Texas, viewers may find the opening scene of episode 1 distressing. We are deeply saddened by this unspeakable violence, and our hearts go out to every family mourning a loved one.” 😢 This season is definitely the most disturbing of the 4. That being said, it's still really good, and I can't wait for you to watch the rest!

2024-10-17 12:46:36 +0000 UTCGirl, Interrupted is one of my favourites!

2024-10-17 11:10:34 +0000 UTCAhh I'm so excited, S4 is intennsssse. P.S. Somebody needs to link Oscar to the 'Chrissy Wake Up' song lol

2024-10-17 10:15:14 +0000 UTCEdward Scissorhands is deffo worth a watch both! Winona makes the perfect Halloween type movies, so just the season to give a couple a watch 🎃👻
Danielle Lewis
2024-10-17 08:57:33 +0000 UTCIn regards to not having seen any Winona movies it could be so fun if you were to react to some of them! She is iconic! One that has a special place in my heart is Girl, Interrupted, based on a true story. There is Heathers which is such a 80s campy horror thriller. There is the halloween classic Beetlejuice (a sequal has just released actually!). Yet to see Edward Scissorhands but she is in that one too. She is such a legend 🤩 Oh and in term of El hitting Angela with the skate, as someone who was bullied when I was El’s age that was sooo satisfying. Perhaps “violence isnt the answer” but in some cases I just wish I could have said “screw it”, and let people have had a taste of their own medicine. Why should the bullied have to be the “bigger person”. I love when characters take their power back
Sofia W
2024-10-17 07:41:55 +0000 UTCHi Oscar!! I love your reactions so much, you are such a kind person and I can see it trough your reactions. I know that maybe because of your religion you probably don't celebrate halloween, but I wish you can make like a halloween special for the season, with spooky related movies!! That will be so cool!!! I wish you react to The Others, Beetlejuice (Now that the remake is about to be on theaters and Winona Ryder is in it) and THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, I have been asking for that series reaction for months!! Please at least check it out, you gonna love it!! :') Hope you read my comment! Greetings from México!! :D <3 P.S. You are really handsome haha
Daniideee
2024-10-17 06:54:26 +0000 UTCSomething is going on with Will. Hmmm... By the way, something unrelated to what I just said, it was Will's birthday during episode 2 of Season 4 and the writers forgot to have it mentioned. They completely forgot it was his birthday altogether!! It looks like Will is all alone and like, "Why did everyone forget about me and my birthday???" But I THINK something else is going on inside. I hope you enjoy this season, Oscar! It's a great one.
Dave M.
2024-10-17 06:44:30 +0000 UTCThat ending to that first episode had me like.... 🤯 "WOW! They upped the ante this season!" I was stunned at the end.
Dave M.
2024-10-17 06:05:13 +0000 UTCIntroducing "Vecna"...the bone breaker. Eddie Munson is one of the coolest characters ever! Loved Eddie! Some well known actors in Stranger Things include: Winona Ryder, Paul Reiser, Matthew Modine, Sean Astin...There was a huge clue about Will, and why he feels the way he does for Mike...remember back when Mike, and Will were arguing once, and Mike says..."I can't help it if you don't like girls" to Will...THAT tells you all you need to know, right there. Even when they were still really young......
Brian Matthews
2024-10-17 06:04:28 +0000 UTCBTW, this would be the perfect season to catch young Winona Ryder in "Beetlejuice".
Jim Schmitz
2024-10-17 04:55:55 +0000 UTCI had a feeling you'd like Eddie, many of us have. And thanks for the explanation for the move. Makes me feel honored to have helped in my own small way. Having such a compact space now means you won't have that much to transfer. Just take care of your back. I remember how challenging moving can be.
Jim Schmitz
2024-10-17 04:51:49 +0000 UTCOscar, good luck with your move. I don’t envy you. I had to move 5 times in 3 years once. I’ve been in my current place for about 20 years and the thought of moving gives me anxiety because I’ve collected a lot of stuff over the years. I need to do a declutter.
Tara
2024-10-17 04:02:12 +0000 UTCSeeing Steve and Robin just makes me so happy that back in S1, they liked Joe Keery (Steve) so much that they decided to keep Steve on the show with a redemption arc. I remember watching an interview with Joe Keery and he is actually 10 years older than the “kids” and he was talking about seeing them grow up over the course of the show. If you’re interested in hearing from the creators of the show and interviews with the cast, you can watch Beyond Stranger Things.
Tara
2024-10-17 03:54:43 +0000 UTCIt always makes me sad that Will moved away right when they got back into D&D; he wanted to play so badly in season 3.
Keeley Thurman
2024-10-17 02:32:42 +0000 UTCIkr I’m an sa victim too and just processing it took forever, let alone TELLING someone 😭 you’re such a warrior and I hope you’re doing ok now
Caratzennie
2024-10-17 01:43:37 +0000 UTCYESSSS! A new season!! I’m so excited! My only advice for the S4 episodes: TISSUES. You will need them (especially during the final ep, because… well, iykyk). I was most unfortunate to have learned the hard way, as someone who is also very sniffle-prone 😭👍🏻 Also, I’m sure you’ve already noticed (you’re very perceptive) but Vecna certainly enjoys torturing his victims with his ability to cause hallucinations, typically based on that person’s trauma. This is why we get warped visions and voices of Chrissy’s mom and the other dude(forgot his name)’s flashbacks to accidentally killing another guy. Vecna’s also closely associated with the sound of chiming clocks, which (fun fact) has actually been a present since the first season. Remember the grandfather clock chiming when Will Byers crashed his bike? That was no coincidence. Also in S1E1 the Byers’ front door opened telekinetically—demogorgons don’t have telekinetic powers so it’s likely that Vecna was the real culprit. Quite fascinating hey 😄
Caratzennie
2024-10-17 01:35:59 +0000 UTCSeason 4 is amazing! (There are tons of easter eggs all over the place, but I won't post any until you are done!) They definitely dialed the Horror up to 11 (as you said, and I'm pretty sure the pun was unintended)
Fenixnade
2024-10-17 01:33:47 +0000 UTCThis show has to grow with the characters (and the audience). Sort of like Harry Potter, all of our main kids are hardly kids anymore, hence the darker tone. I personally applaud them for going for more mature themes, such as trauma and grief. It makes for a really emotional season, and it was definitely the right move; it makes for a natural progression as our protagonists mature. This is easily my favorite season, and Vecna makes for a terrifying villain. The stakes will be higher than ever before, so hold on tight! But don't worry, this season still knows how to have fun and has plenty of humor!
Neville L
2024-10-17 01:08:31 +0000 UTCI'm never one to defend Jason cause of what he does later on (hopefully you know what I mean) but I don't think he was a bad guy. I think he was just blind by anger and grief and wasn't thinking clearly. If you think about it, Andy's worse than him

2024-10-17 00:20:20 +0000 UTCWooohooo! Excited for more ST! Congrats on your move and being able to afford more space.

Oscar
2024-10-16 21:44:43 +0000 UTCI adore Duthtin. Everything about his character. And I was thinking the same thing about the Tom Cruise vibe literal seconds before you said it! Creeped out and ready to shudder with you through this season.
Lara Kearns
2024-10-16 20:31:07 +0000 UTCI love how this season re-introduces D&D. The shift away from it in S3 (even from using it as a metaphor) made me sad, so it was such a delight for it to come back so strong, especially with Eddie as DM for Hellfire and bringing Erica in!
Robin
2024-10-16 20:17:18 +0000 UTCI will say… there is a very cool special guest appearance in this season that will be coming up soon.

2024-10-16 19:55:54 +0000 UTCEvery time you say “Yoohoo”, the next words that pop into my head are “big summer blowout” (You’ve seen ‘Frozen’, so this time, I know you’ll get this reference!)
Raga G
2024-10-16 19:40:09 +0000 UTCLmao, you poor thing! You looked like you needed a hug while you processed the end of the first episode. I loved that you didn't bother holding back when you shouted "Bitch!" at Angela. So glad they added Eddie and Argyle to represent the alternative to the typical 80's preppy/nerd character. Vecna is gruesome, he makes my skin crawl...but not as much as Jason does! He's such a tool.

melissa.xoxo
2024-10-16 18:45:40 +0000 UTCAlso how you described Max’s trauma and her fear of opening up is extremely accurate. As someone who also has quite a bit of trauma especially being an SA survivor, for some of us as you said, it’s extremely difficult to be vulnerable for fear of it not just completely destroying you, but also the fear of it hurting others. It took me a decade to open up to a trusted friend. What you said really resonated with me for sure.
Teej
2024-10-16 18:08:50 +0000 UTCYour reaction to the ending of the first episode was the same as mine when I first saw it. I just did not see it coming and it shook me to my core.
Teej
2024-10-16 18:03:24 +0000 UTCThe skating rink scene would never have happened at the rink I went too. I was going a lot in 1986, and the owner was very strict with his rules. There were always at least 1 if not 2 referee's on the rink and the D.J. would not hesitate to call anyone out who was trying to start a fight and have them removed. They would not have been allowed on the rink with any food or drink or even that video camera. They would have been made to get off the rink and sit out a while. If it was bad enough they would be escorted out and banned from coming back and thet have even called the cops on people that were dangerous. I get what they were going for. They were going for a Carrie vibe. It's just that would have never happened. At least at any of the rinks I frequented. But it does make you "o.k." with the fact she stood up to Angela. And I was bullied about that bad in middle school. The person and her group would go out of their way to make my life miserable. Some people are just mean.
Melissa Creel
2024-10-16 17:43:21 +0000 UTCYay my fav season! Can’t wait to watch. I feel like we didn’t properly warn you for this season though so it will be interesting lol
Kimmie🌻
2024-10-16 17:30:18 +0000 UTCwhen eleven escaped in 1983 she was 12, and if you do the math to 1979, she was only eight years old :(
chvrrvism
2024-10-16 17:24:50 +0000 UTCSpeaking as someone who is the only single guy in his entire circle of friends, you just have to get used to the girlfriend taking priority in a serious relationship. If I acted the way Will acted my friends would slowly hang out with me less and less becuse they felt like I was craping on the relationships they're in. I'm the single guy it's my obligation to pick up the slack in the friendship so to speak. Don't get me wrong I understand Will's frustration but at the same time, he is not making it clear that the neglect of his friends is really bothering him. He's just whining hoping that they can interpret what he actually wants. In this case Mike is right, it shouldn't be all on him to maintain the friendship.

2024-10-16 17:11:49 +0000 UTCWhen I watched this season the first time it was with captions on and if you think the visuals are gross, the words they use for describing what's audible are even grosser lmaooo Really happy you're moving up in the world - so glad to have found you and to be here making it happen for you in whatever small way each sub does. :) :)
Lia
2024-10-16 16:21:38 +0000 UTCYeah, Season 4 is a little...different. LOL
Michele H.
2024-10-16 15:43:23 +0000 UTCThis isn't my favorite season. It definitely leans heavily into the horror genre. The best part of the season is what Eddie brings to the cast and the chemistry they all have. He's so much fun. Well, for a guy who saw what he did. 😆🙃
KJ
2024-10-16 15:38:41 +0000 UTCThe horror is amped up this season. That first episode left me stunned the first time I saw it and it took me some time before I was ready to watch the next one. It is a great season! Eddie and Chrissy had good chemistry together in that short amount of time. It’s too bad she was killed so soon.
Kelsey
2024-10-16 15:07:07 +0000 UTCI gotta say this. You're probably one of the best reactors so far imo. It's like you actually really enjoy and try to understand the show so greatly. Like why a character did this or something which other reactor doesn't seem to really understand or try to understand ,I really love the reaction so far ,thanks!🩵
PUU_AME
2024-10-16 15:06:29 +0000 UTCWhat an incredibly insane season! Can't wait for you to see the rest!!
JT
2024-10-16 14:57:39 +0000 UTCAwesome! I enjoyed it a lot. This is the best season so far imo. The horror vibes and everything ,it's just perfect.
PUU_AME
2024-10-16 14:56:40 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! I also wanted to suggest a show called peaky blinders. It’s a really good show that’s a similar length to stranger things. The acting and storytelling is sooo good. It’s really popular here in the uk, I don’t know whether you would have heard/seen it before! Love the reactions, keep it up!
George
2024-10-16 14:53:06 +0000 UTCWaiting for my shift at work to be over so I can run home, order food and watch this while eating comfort food! I'm so excited for this season, it's my favourite!
Charlotte PhD.
2024-10-16 14:51:37 +0000 UTCI have to agree with not looking anythjng up. I was looking up an actor on imdb and a spoiler was in the list and I was so mad at myself because it was THE big reveal. So if you want to be surprised don't look up anything about season 4.
Melissa Creel
2024-10-16 14:45:07 +0000 UTCWhat makes the current villain of Stranger Things so good (in my opinion), is that he is almost entirely practical (the moving skin is static while filming). The actor had to sit down 8 hours to put on that suit every day they shot scenes with him. I also want to stress you to not look at any behind the scenes material about him putting on the costume, since unfortunately there are major spoilers to be seen in the background of those videos.
Adrian
2024-10-16 14:41:37 +0000 UTCOh I can’t believe you’re already here! Best season hands down, season 1 a close second. This season is gonna put you through the wringer!!!
capricornmom
2024-10-16 14:33:49 +0000 UTCFew things about ep2 I want to say, I really like that they show Jason having a healthy reaction to hearing about Chrissy, where they could’ve easily (and cheaply) played him off immediately as the emotionally suppressed ‘jock’. Another thing, the most heartbreaking part about the episode is the date in the corner of the video camera - is Will’s birthday! From S1 or 2 where he is interrogated in the shed 😭
Thomas B
2024-10-16 14:31:19 +0000 UTCI'm happy if we can help you have a better life, you sound like a genuinely nice guy and you deserve it :-) Stranger Things was always supposed to be a horror show, but with kids they didn't dare go too far at first. Once they started growing up they decided to go all in from season 3, and omg it makes it even better than it already was! The payoff in season 4 is fantastic and I really can't wait to see your face for some of the future episodes, the last minutes of episode 1 were already epic lol
ln_wanderbooks
2024-10-16 14:26:05 +0000 UTCYeah, season 3 is the most viscerally nasty for me but season 4 is the one that's horrifying. He's not here to play around
Kate
2024-10-16 14:22:53 +0000 UTCAlso… I love Eddie! One of my favorite characters of the entire series.
Teej
2024-10-16 14:18:17 +0000 UTCCan’t wait to watch this when I get home from work! Yeah, they definitely went with more of a horror vibe with this season in particular. I remember watching episode 1 for the first time and I had to watch in between my fingers. 🤣
Teej
2024-10-16 13:03:36 +0000 UTCThe Sound of Music (1965) and The King and I (1956) are a must!!!
Edualy Munoz
2024-10-16 12:11:31 +0000 UTCalso, Chrissy was Bulimic thanks to her mum always fat shaming her and vecna took advantage of that trauma and used it against her to kill her, thats what the vision was in the bathroom and also before she died, especially her mum on the sewing machine "loosening the back a little" for her and all the flies over the food because she has a bad relationship with food thanks to her Bulimia
Erin Piper
2024-10-16 12:04:35 +0000 UTCi thought i was going to have to wait till tomorrow for this im so unbelievably excited
Kaszimkyi
2024-10-16 11:56:32 +0000 UTCYes!!!! This season feels like another show at points, but my gosh is it worth it. It feels like a break from the light hearted respite of the last 3 in parts and really gets into the darker side of the characters…
Thomas B
2024-10-16 11:52:15 +0000 UTCi fully believe that Brenner was actually kind to the kids before the massacre happened and the massacre is what made him a horrid person to him. and Eleven was 7 years old during the massacre as she was born in 1971 so she was almost 8
Erin Piper
2024-10-16 11:34:47 +0000 UTCLET’S GOOO!!!

2024-10-16 11:25:01 +0000 UTCThis season is the best, trust me 😌
Natalia

2024-10-16 10:38:15 +0000 UTCI don’t watch the show but I can tell from the thumbnail it wasn’t pleasant to look at lol. Thanks Oscar! Have a great evening and I hope you’re feeling better after your cold I do have another suggestion for a movie reaction: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005). And, if you haven’t seen it yet, The Sound of Music (1965)—a Julie Andrews classic
