Stranger Things Changes Casting Directors

So Stranger Things, a show praised for it's casting inexplicably decided to change CD's this season, and it couldn't be more noticeable. They went from normal looking yet endearing characters who turned in terrific performances, to generically pretty Hollywood garbage. Season Two is going to be just as bad as you feared. I guarantee it.

>white actors

FUCKING WHITE PEOPLE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

fuck off
Cred Forums and tumblr are equally cancerous and detrimental to discussions of art and culture

But there were a lot of good looking people in Season 1

Max is fucking adorable. Isn't she supposed to be like a butch tom boy person from a broken home? And THE RED RANGER is supposed to be the deranged skinhead older brother who tries to physically harm Froggo and friends?


..........lel.

Sherif Baldfat, toothless the deformed clown, Mistress Skellington, token black kid, frog face, K Mart Spider-Man, pervy english guy...

Winona was milf material, but she was the only movie star of the lot. Ms. Wheeler wasn't bad either, but I would hardly call that A LOT of good looking people.

>Season Two is going to be bad
>implying this shit show was good in the first place

what a cute little girl!

>old cast was normal looking

It was comfy as fuck. Derivative, simplistic and devoid of any new ideas, but it was perfectly fun to watch. Go fuck yourself.

I met Millie Bobby Brown recently. I wasn't impressed.

are you implying those 2 people in that picture are attractive?

...

who is that cunny bunny?

>you can't be good looking and talented at the same time

lmao, you're like these kids I wreck on videogames and they message me "get a life nerd lmao"

W-Where did you get that pic user?

>he doesn't recognize shad by now

I hated that little jew faggot from the first season

Good, this show was so generic and derivative beyond the pilot, I hope it gets exposed for being the piece of shit that it is.

What about the pilot was terribly original? At least beyond the rest of the episodes, anyway?

She's an entitled and obnoxious middle class britbong with overly protective parents. She will be out of hollywood before her 18th birthday I guaran-fucking-tee it.

I do now thanks to you lovely desu

Well, the pilot setup a great premise, yet didn't deliver.

Explain. What was said premise and how did they fail to deliver? How would you have done it different?

>with overly protective parents.

No. A) there is no such thing as stage parents who are 'overly protective' of their kids. If they really cared about their kids, they would NEVER make them try to earn money, especially in fucking Hollywood. B) Millies parents are the worst of the worst. Their practices will end her career, I promise you this. You will not see MBB in a respected project post Stranger Things. Maybe not even in Stranger Things season 3. Her parents are the WORST kind of stage parents. Take my word for it.

It delivered a premise of spoopy xfiles government experiments
instead it was transdimensional vampires and lsd psykers
which although it sounds cool, wasn't. Things were spoopy at first, but it all went downhill when we started to figure things out and realized it was pretty clear cut. Though, that's the case with a lot of sci fi mystery shows, xfiles included somewhat. Though, xfiles is also kind of an exception because they just kept adding stupid shit before the previous arc was over, which kept you guessing at how things would finish and who would play what roles.

Want to elaborate? I'm not surprised. The press and mainstream audiences laid the praise on thick. These kids probably think they shit gold.

I thought the black kid's performance was really bad. Mushy mouth was pretty good, the chick was okay and


I've written war and peace many times debating fans, so I'll keep it brief. And I accept that people like things I don't like, but I was geninely miffed about the love this got.

>Generic villain #234234
>CGI was terrible. Ruined the spookyness of the monster
>Winona Ryder was so over the top.
>The writing wasn't consistent. There were strong pieces, among incredibly weak stuff.
The score was great and I liked the atmosphere at times.

The opening act in the pilot was GREAT. And I enjoyed the pilot, but beyond that, it's all white noise.

Nooooooo, Shadman, noooooo. Don't make porn of a real child actress.

Do it Shad! DO IT!

>who turned in terrific performances

That's not really the case. The kids are pretty bad.

I hope they know where to go with this and don't just meander.
>Sherif Baldfat
he was dilf material and you know it

>normal looking yet endearing characters
Anyone else find Charlie Heaton strangely attractive?

I never bothered to look it up, but I just assumed that was the name of the black kid actor. Assumed it was one of Bobby Brown's bastards.

He's balding in the worst way possible. Charming son of a bitch, but he's basically Brenden IRL. Has a full head of thin hairs all over his head. It's gross and unnerving and I don't know why his manager hasn't forced him to shave it.

The personality and the face and the butt make up for it I think. Still waiting for him and Winona to unleash that sexual tension on the show.

>I've written war and peace many times debating fans, so I'll keep it brief.

All fine and valid reasons, and no offense meant. I'm not one of the people that defend the show without recognizing its ver many flaws. Just sick of the folks that shit on it as being terrible without being able to articulate why (apart from the fact that it is popular). Your qualms are perfectly valid and I respect them.

it will be like the second series of Serial

it was a success to the time, everyone binged it at the same time. i guarantee s2 won't be a success because it won't have the lightening in the bottle s1 had

He confirmed at NYCC that his character is totally attracted to her character. Mostly because he's somewhat method and he pretty clearly wants to IRL fuck her, but I think Hopper x Winona is a pretty okay shipping.

All of these are valid criticisms even if I don't agree with you. They definitely should kick up their villain game next season. They're hinting that Brenner is alive and I don't think I want him to be. He wasn't very compelling. The CGI was netflix stuff, I can't really hold it against them but it's true, a lot of it looked too hokey. The writing did have a few missteps, like the scene where Hopper discovers Will's 'body' is a fake. Why did it have to be stuffed with cotton?
Don't agree with Winona though, I thought she did great, any time she went over the top it was definitely on the writers.

He's said that they can get on each other's nerves in real life but they're like an old married couple. I don't know if they're actually attracted to one another.

Have you ever acted before, or are you just one of the very many retarded normies that think the acting you see on television is "bad"? Those kids can out-act most of the people I know that have devoted their lives to the craft. They're not perfect, and that's fine, but you gotta realize that this is their first major acting gig that has been seen on a global basis. Those kids fucking killed it. You have NO FUCKING IDEA. Each of them has the potential to grow up to be a top actor. They aren't there now, none of them are, but they all did really, really, REALLY well considering their unadvanced ages.

He gushed over Winona like an idiot fanboy. He likes her. He likes her a lot.

I hope not. I really grew to like the characters and actors, I want to see more.

bitch

Do you think she's into him too?

You're only going to get shitposts in reply, user.

KEK.

I'm sure what you think of her will keep her up at night

Isn't she like 12

Don't get me wrong, I think (honestly, KNOW) she's a really talented actress. My only concern is that her parents are the worst. Like, the WORST. You have no idea. I've been working NYCC for six years, and I've never met more demanding people in my life. I've worked with people that have OSCARS. She's hot shit, we all know it, the problem is she knows it too. Not a trace of humility. And that's because of her parents. Not her fault. I wish her the best. But DAYUM. I wish her agents could fire her fucking father.

>shadman

Yes, that is his work.

Yes.

That sucks to hear. She seems like she's getting the short end of the stick with that. Honestly want her to be happy, her parents seem to be using her like controlling stage parents do.

What did she do that was so bad, then?

It'll ruin her in the end, but sure man. Stranger Things is the greatest show of all time and Millie is truly one of the greatest of her generation.

Power Rangers in Netflix Shows:
Jungle Fury White in Daredevil
RPM Red in Jessica Jones
NuMovie Red in Stranger Things

Any others?

Are the rumours true about her family?

They tried to get a signing fee of 100k from the agencies who recently tried to sign her lol.

>series blows up
>proceeds to cast a bunch of pretty faces and big name mega stars


>When you have a show as immediately successful as Stranger Things, there is a tendency to slip up in the second season,” explained Cohen. “That’s why we’re bringing in the big guns. These guys are seasoned megastars, terrific talents, and they are here to bring the changes we desperately need. You could say we are turning the whole thing ‘upside down

Where did it all go wrong?

I have heard other things than just that. They went broke trying to make her get big. I don't think it's just about helping her follow her dream.

She honestly is getting the short end of that particular stick, but there's hope. Hollywood at large loves her and so do the American People, and everyone in town knows her parents are the worst. She can easily be emancipated if need be. Hell, the fucking Duffer Brothers could adopt her if they had even half a mind to.

Again, I fully believe it was her parents and not her, but, she was a HUGE diva. Lots of demands, gave no thanks. She wasn't Axl Rose or anything like that, but in this line of work you know the good ones from the bad. And again, I really want nothing but the best for Millie. She's super talented. I hope it all works out for her, but I have some concerns.

If I enjoyed Twin Peaks, would I enjoy this?

If not, what is the closest Twin Peaks like show I can watch?

>These guys are seasoned megastars, terrific talents

lolwat?

idk, but the qt zombie lead in iZombie was a yellow ranger at some point

>tfw the only black kid was the worst character in the show

little black shit was a fuckin asshole.

>If I enjoyed Twin Peaks, would I enjoy this?
No

>If not, what is the closest Twin Peaks like show I can watch?
Choking on your own cum. It's the only way.

>Cohen
Pretty clear.

Man, that sucks. I really hope she can be happy and not be a child star that ends up being hurt from their time in the industry.
Since you seem to know about her, do you know anything else about the other cast members? Like the other kids, the teens, Winona and David, are they cool people?

Also RPM

>They went from normal looking yet endearing characters

>normal looking

Several of the kids in the show were weird-looking kids with some serious AYY LMAO-syndrome.

They were REALISTIC-looking kids, which is probably what you meant, since there are plenty of ugly kids out there, but "normal-looking" seems a bit much.

>no source

Dropped

out of the little kid characters, he was the only one with a fucking arc and actually made their dynamic interesting, yeah he was an asshole but at least he redeems himself near the end and actually made the show interesting.

>sexualizing children

>tfw they killed the cutest guy in the first episode

I was already fantasizing about him and Hopper but they never got to share a scene together

>Since you seem to know about her, do you know anything else about the other cast members? Like the other kids, the teens, Winona and David, are they cool people?

I actually know a bit about most of them. From everything I've heard, Winona is a terrific human being. I've met David Harbour, he showed up late to the Con this year, but he came off as amazing as you would hope Hopper would be. He seems like a TREMENDOUSLY good dude.

Beyond that, I've known Nick Wolfhard for several years. He's a great kid, and I'm super glad he's getting some VO jobs these days. I only ever knew Froggo as his somewhat annoying (only what Nick expressed to me, not my thoughts in any capacity) kid brother. But Finn seems like a cool little dude. When I saw that little fucker as the lead on Stranger Things (bear in mind, I had NO IDEA he had booked that job), man, I almost cried. Finn, I don't know him as well as I'd like to, but he's good people. I know for a fact, anyway, he comes from good people.

maybe not cute. But definitely bro tier, I got the impression he was part of the main cast.

All of those are good to hear. I've loved Winona Ryder forever, glad she's doing good now. And David Harbour seems cool, plus Finn Wolfhard is really underrated in his role. I thought he did really well.
Do you know anything about the teenagers in the show? I got the impression that Joe seems nice, Natalia seems pretty normal, but Charlie seems a bit shy or maybe standoffish.

Benny was the best guy on the whole show.

Delete this right now. I'm not memeing

>Do you know anything about the teenagers in the show?

Never met any of them in person (yet), but I've heard nothing but good things. I did an improv class with a guy that (allegedly) went to school with Joe Keery, and he said he was a good dude. Granted, I honestly can't confirm that, but since apparently the Duffers liked him enough to write him into season 2, I'll go ahead and give him the benefit of the doubt. He went to college in Chicago, and Chicago actors are real good. REAL good.

Same shit every time
>Something new, or at least new by current standards, gets made
>gets very popular
>every fucking 2 bit fucktard comes running to get on the gravy train
>turns it into the Homer Simpson car

see GoT, and follow its lesson, drop shit after the first season no matter how good it is, the way things are done today do not allow for continued quality.

failproof philosophy: if a story cannot be completed satisfactorily in 1 season, it was never really good.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you know all this stuff about the cast? Seem like you have some pretty interesting stories.

Fargo S2
Breaking bad S2-S4
Narcos S2

based froggo

I'm a a working actor in NYC. Most of the cast lives here. We all have some stories about them.

>Fargo S2

you're fucking kidding right?
The seasons are 2 completely different stories.

he's cute as fuck in the knick. no homo

Any good stories on others in the industry?

Poor frog-baby. Millie din't need to embarrass him like that.

not knowing they are connected
PLEBE

That's pretty cool, user. Hope you find all the success you could ask for.
You ever see people talked about on this board and think that they're nothing like their image?

Well fuck me Stranger Things was the only series I was following. The thing is getting good children actors is hard, ST has an amazing cast and it was already diverse for fuck sake.

This people, you can't please them.

>its shit but i like eating shit so thats OK!

>Hope you find all the success you could ask for.
Thank you, user. I truly do appreciate that.

>You ever see people talked about on this board and think that they're nothing like their image?
Not terribly often. I've met Jonah Hill, and he honestly came off as a really sweet and confident dude. When Cred Forums makes fun of him, it's not quite accurate, but I honestly think he would thin it was funnier than any of us do. Beyond that, as far as te Stranger Things cast is concerned... I don't mean to offend anyone who would hope otherwise, but I don't think Froggo is gay. I've barely know him IRL, but he never came off that way to me, and none of his media appearances seem to suggest otherwise. And I don't mean to disparage anyone who likes him that way. Don't worry about it one way or another. He's a real cool guy. If you think he's cute or whatever, there's no need to stop thinking it. Just don't put him down for something he can't help. And Millie is real cute too. Her family isn't great, but that's not her fault. I wish her nothing but the best.

>Thank you, user. I truly do appreciate that.
You're welcome, I really did mean it!
Yeah I find it really weird when people talk about Finn and Millie like that. It's gross, they're barely even teenagers.

It's been a while since I felt this pissed. SJW found a way to fuck up this show.

>It's gross, they're barely even teenagers.
I 100% agree. But I also have been in this business long enough to know that, unfortunately, Hollywood sells them that way. It sucks, but they do. I blame the industry much more than I blame the people on sites like this that are actually in control of these things.

You've said what Millie's parents are like, what do Finn's think of that kind of stuff?

What about........ The pedoring thing in pedowood?

Yes, but a realistic amount.

>a show praised for it's casting
What the fuck?
It's Wino Judd waving her arms around like an idiot, a couple character actors, and some kids. There's literally nothing remarkable about the show's cast.

Ya /stg/ general out of nowhere. Fin is of German/French decent and part Jewish. He goes to Catholic school. He said he aspires to become a director later in life.

I don't know Finn's parents all that well. I've met them both several times, but I've never spoken to them. All I can say is that their boys are both down to Earth people. Nick is only a couple years younger than me and he's as cool a person as you can hope to meet. Finn always came off as a real sweet kid, and nothing I've heard about him since he became famous seems to suggest otherwise. Finn's parents seem like normal people, tbqh. I can't guarantee it, but I have no reason to believe otherwise.

From his twitter posts, Finn definitely seems like a normal boy who happens to be famous.

I don't doubt that it existed at one point, and I certainly don't doubt that there are pedophiles in Hollywood today, but I don't think it is as bad as it used to be. There are SO many ways to report and deal with unscrupulous practices in the industry these days.

Don't even take my word for it, just think about it. Stage parents are as shitty as they've ever been, but EVERYBODY thinks of Hollywood as a shitty perv orgy now a'days. And every kid in the industry has an HD camera in their pocket. You'll get more recognition for exposing that shit than conforming to it these days. And thank god for that.

He is. He honestly is. And I really hope, for his sake, that he stays that way. He seems like a really good kid. I hope fame doesn't ruin him. He seems to have a great support system, but you never know. I just hope the kid finds happiness in whatever he does. The Wolfhards are good folks.

>Implying


Kids are dumb, sexual predatots un hollywood are so sick.


I prey for Millie and Finn everyday.

How'd you meet him and his brother?

>sincere adulation for Shadman

I knew the board had gotten worse, but holy shit.

how does it feel to have shit taste

>balding meme
guys get balding even in their early twenties, kiddo.

So? It's not that he's balding that is the problem, it's that it's at a stage where it both noticeable and awkward. Plus it's an unfortunate type of pattern where he has coverage over most of his head, but it's diffusely thin throughout his scalp and looks chewed out. Like Prince William a few years ago.
