But somehow they can afford to use The Clash's most popular song, even sneaked one from Bowie, and now fucking Thriller just for the trailer? Fuck those incompetent pieces of shit at Netflix

>>85488327
Lovecraftian entails an anti-anthrocentric viewpoint of horror wrapped in cynicism and existential dread. Which is the exact opposite of a netflix show trying to recreate the feelings of the 80s centered around children main characters.

So no.

Season 2 they butcher playing a game in the arcade.

What nerd culture activity will they butcher in Season 3?

Most 80s nostalgia is just misplace by people watching reruns on the early 90s.

>>85488327
Lovecraftian horror is the worst thing to befall mainstream culture

>>85488449
1. Names like Y'nghahqh
2. Tentacles and AfterEffects
3. Millenials
4. Avoid hating immigrants, that's icky

>>85489229
Tbh I was born in 96 and raised on 80s and early 90s action films and other movies, as well as TV and cartoons. So honestly it's not surprising that people younger than forty have "nostalgia" for this decade's particular aesthetic, as its popular culture was still part of their childhood. Think about it. Almost everyone age 20 onwards has seen ET or Terminator 2, for example.

>>85489532
You're the worst thing to befall your parents

>>85489229
somehow every other era can be used as a setting except for the 80s. pls get out pretentious elitist nerds who consider it sacrilegious to use references of pop culture from the time period in which the story takes place.

>>85489674

Alright cool beans. Enjoy Stranger Things season 2 and IT 80s Edition and Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back II back to back to back. Oh and of course Thor 3: Masters of the Universe. I'm sure you have fond memories of He-Man.

this. Big spooky monsters are not what makes Lovecraft Lovecraft.

When will this meme die? This isn't fucking lovecraftian at all.

>>85488449

>>85488449

Read Colour Out of Space to understand what makes Lovecraftian horror. There is a monster there that is entirely possible to visualize and it's spooky because what created it was not.

In the short story The Seven Geases (1934), Atlach-Nacha is the reluctant recipient of a human sacrifice given to it by the toad-god Tsathoggua.
Atlach-Nacha resembles a huge spider with an almost-human face. It dwells within a huge cavern deep beneath Mount Voormithadreth, a mountain in the now vanished kingdom of Hyperborea in the Arctic. There it spins a gigantic web, bridging a massive chasm between the Dreamlands and the waking world. Some believe that when the web is complete, the end of the world will come, because it will create a permanent junction with the Dreamlands, allowing monsters to move freely into the waking world.
Atlach-Nacha probably came to Earth from the planet Cykranosh (or Saturn as we know it today) with Tsathoggua. Because of its appearance, Atlach-Nacha is often referred to as the Spider-God(dess) and is believed to be the regent of all spiders. Furthermore, the giant, bloated purple spiders of Leng are thought to be its children and servitors.
There is some disagreement about its gender. In Smith's original story, Atlach-Nacha is referred to as a male, but in later stories by other authors, it is implied to be a female.

>>85490663
altach nacha is the big monster, toad god is the pollywog, dreamlands is the upside down. the web is all that shit around in the trailer. myth busted.

>>85490688
it is known

>>85488449
Unimaginable cosmic horror, and realizing the insignificance of all human endeavors. The only thing keeping us protected in our little bubble we call reality is our own sanity, and it can be easily snuffed out by powers we have no comprehension of.

>>85492006
He's done quite a few stories that have nothing to do with that though

>>85492126
same deal with anything that's named after anyone

>>85488449

basically, its the realization that humans are just ants and coming into contact with beings our little brains cant even begin to understand.

>>85489229

>ywn dance with nance

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.


The 80s were a different time, weren't they?

>>85489229
Stranger Things is mostly just surface level nostalgia for people that are now in their early to mid-30s that grew up watching The Goonies, IT, Poltergeist, etc.

>[Finn’s] my given, full name. Finn’s not short for anything; it’s just Finn Wolfhard. And then Wolfhard means, I think, heart of the wolf in German. What’s funny is I’m German, but then I’m like French — I’m French and German and then Jewish. It’s really weird. I have really weird blood. And then I go to Catholic school, which is really weird.

>>85488449
according to 4chan it's tentacles and gothic architecture and Dark Souls games.

According to people who have actually read Lovecraft, it's ancient terrible inhuman gods, cosmic horrors from other dimensions, screwy geometric that the human mind cannot comprehend, poor people, non-british people, and fish people.

>>85496172

It's bloodbourne

Maybe they'll get the autist who wrote Ready Player One in as a guest writer.

Probably not - normies don't want horror, they want nostalgia and gender nonconforming trans gay characters.

>>85494273
You're gay and also a pedo?

they were going to kill his character off but the actor was so nice and charming irl they actually changed his story and altered the entire nancy and johnathon storyline.
