whole ass documentary is just duffer glaze GTFOOOO fuck them i hope all of their future projects flop some notes: – they shot the first episode without writing the finale script…no wonder the finale is shit. IT SHOWS & it’s embarrassing that they admitted that – “ross and i had no interest in writing at all, we wanted to direct” AND IT SHOULD’VE STAYED THAT WAY!! ALSO THEY HAD MULTIPLE FUCKING CHATGPT TABS OPEN AT AROUND THE 40-41 MINUTE MARK. I KNEW THEIR ASSES WROTE THIS SHIT WITH AI. AND THEY DID END UP CONSULTING REDDIT WHEN THEY SAID THEY WEREN’T GOING TO DO THAT. fucking losers – paul dichter (famously known for writing dear billy & sorcerer) bringing up inconsistencies in…

“we went into production without having a finished script for the finale.” “the whole episode has to be building towards eleven is going to kill herself.” “ross and i had no interest in writing at all.” “we haven’t even tried this. this is gonna be a shit show.” “i’m assuming it should feel kind of powerful. — she [kali] is going to be shot.” “she [eleven] has to be gone in order for them to move on.” “we are shooting episode 8, which isn’t completely written yet. so we don’t even fully know what’s going on.” are you fucking kidding me? the way they talk about eleven is literally so disturbing. fuck d*ffers i’m genuinely disgusted. i don’t even have the energy to list the endless number of problems i have with this.

they literally said “you can’t leave anything dangling. You have to wrap everything up.” and then they did the finale the way they did it

having chatgpt open while writing your script is incredibly telling

“It’s terrifying because you see these shows that people love and adore, and the ending falters. And they just discard the rest of the show. You can’t leave anything dangling. You have to wrap everything up.” Haha.

Definitely goofy to blatantly say in your first 5 minutes that you went into production on the biggest finale Netflix might ever have without a finished script. It’s very telling of how they operate and why no one should ever feel invested in the things they put out. I’m sure this behind-the-scenes is cool for people who do actually care about this show though, otherwise it’s just 2 hours confirming that yes, this finale was huge and was not easy…

The Duffer brothers are such idiots.

I really hope we get a Stranger Things spinoff with Millie Bobby Brown ( Eleven) and I just wanna see more of Sadie Sink outside of Marvel

“Let’s twerk on Vecna!” Stranger Things received so much hate because of season 5 and I’m so sad about it. It wasn’t their best but it was still extremely good. I feel like there’s a part of me missing now that I’ve finished it. Imagine being in a universe, with the same people, filming this, for the past 10 years, and that now it’s just… over. I cried and I’m not even part of them I can’t imagine how they felt. “Something is coming. Something hungry for blood.”

“We went into production without having a finished script for the finale.” “Ross and I had no interest in writing at all.” It was actually pretty obvious considering the direction the last season took. It was like watching a train wreck happen right in front of your eyes.

This is a very sweet documentary that made me truly appreciate the different departments incredible talent to work under the pressure that their writers put upon them because the duffers said “man it’s really hard to work when having kids” to a crew member thats BEEN A PARENT. the duffer brothers are big flops who have yes men all around them ( also whatever writer said what about demo fatigue you really needed to think that through because thats in…

Although Season 5 was most certainly not my favorite, this includes great behind the scenes footage. A lot of focus was spent on the writing process with the Duffer Bros., but also a fairly good amount of time was spent on set building and stunt work, which I found much more interesting.

And it comes as a shock to NO ONE that they were filming before the finale had been written.

No pun intended but this is such a strange documentary. It’s just tonally all over the place which I’m sure represents the production well but leaves this documentary at odds with whatever it’s trying to say in just an honestly quite bland way. On one hand you have the love letter to Stranger Things aspect which is genuinely heartfelt where actors who’ve spent most of their lives on the show share their journey and the impact the show has had…

After the disappointing fifth season, it was hard to watch this. There wasn’t really anything special about it, but I still love Stranger Things, so I’m glad I watched it.

dreading my rewatch of the show. this just makes me mad now. season 5 could have been so much more. listening to the duffer brothers talk is like one big exasperated sigh they irritate me so bad. but still, shoutout to the cast and everyone who did their best with the slop they were given lol

oh my god i was crying so hard at this. people are mad at the duffers but i honestly don’t think the finale and the last season in general is as bad as people say. even after finishing Stranger Things i felt sort of content with the ending but as time went on i sort of saw things differently. watching this documentary kind of brought me back to the time i finished the show and it sort of makes me…

A lovely insight into the generational TV show that is Stranger Things, with a beautiful last half an hour showing the actors saying goodbye.

Watching this after all the hype is gone, but yeah, what do you want? If you need another reminder that this season was nothing but a fucking disaster when they literally had MORE TIME to write, produce, and edit it than Season 4… then you’ve come across the right documentary. On a more serious note, it’s interesting to see how much the teams seem to care. Too bad all of this was run by two brothers who, for some reason, built something that became too big for them and chose the easy way out as a result. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t the right choice.

After loving the stranger things series it was so great to see the behind the scenes of how it was made. It really helped me appreciate all the work that goes into an individual episode of this show. The duffer brothers have created such an amazing series and so the film was great to see.

no vi el documental cuando salió porque estaba enojada con el final que le dieron a eleven. 5 estrellas solo porque el show fue una parte esencial en mi infancia y por los discursos que dieron los actores al final de su personaje

Documentary: MID Show: 1-4 seasons were like 3-3.5 ⭐ 5th season was ASS 1 ⭐ Ending was really disappointing 😭 and yall have to wait 20 years to see what happened to Eleven (its joke by directors but who knows) and i hate shows about kids when they are ageing during between seasons… Good examples for this is stranger things and avatar Live Action. Also most of the cast members are decent or not like able i only do love…

This documentary really shows that the duffers were not prepared at all to end the show in a proper way

Este refresco documental ajuda a entender a dimensão de se construir a última temporada da série sob pressão e correria, deixando claro o trabalho genial de muitos profissionais mas também expondo a certa desleixaria dos irmãos Duffer.
-
L
só serviu para acabar com porra da reputação dos Duffers, e acho bem feito. Porra como você começa a gravar a caceta da série sem UM FINAL. Tipo, isso não faz sentido. Além deles não aceitarem muito das opiniões femininas para a Eleven e usarem chat gpt.

Watching a whole documentary of people trying to carry the Duffer Brothers into making a good finale only to be met with ‘hm’ is certainly an experience

That shot of Sadie trying not to laugh at Millie and Noah crying at the script of the finale is so funny bro😭😭 She knew she was about to work for Marvel while Millie and Noah won’t be in any movies or shows ever again. Fun to laugh at, but also really cool to see all the people who worked on the season and all the practical effects (even though the final product looked like shit). Now I NEED to know everything about the Duffer brothers #Duffer #DufferBros #Dufferflix #SuperDufferBros3

do the duffers know they have 30 minutes really depressing to see everyone except the suffer bros put everything they had in this last season. the crew and the cast cared about this show more than these hacks ever did and i still don’t understand how netflix thought releasing this documentary was a good move no i will never get over how terrible s5 was and that is okay ❤️

Having done background work on several different kinds of productions, let me preface this by saying the following is coming from someone who is not only a fellow audience member, but has only dipped a toe into what actually goes on behind the scenes of a show as monumental as Stranger Things. Fundamentally, we don’t know the full picture of what goes into making the entertainment we consume. We don’t know who or what has the final say or is…

This just shows how bad the duffers were at writing season 5 it was emotional to see the cast together in this doc but I can also see how done they all were with this show. 6/10

Everything is good at the beginning of the series, but when it end, I was like “That it?!?!?” Why is so lameeeee!!! I don’t like that ending at all, make me feel like Will’s mom when Will still in the upside down world 😭 I try to think like, “maybe this just a joke by the autor” but noooo, why autor whyyyy?!?

I like Shawn Levy’s movies but from what I see of him in this and what he says I don’t think he knows a single fucking thing about making a movie or a show. My mom told me I should research The Duffer Brothers to help me learn filmaking. I felt offended. Those pedo idiots, out of everyone in tv and film why would anyone pick them. Their attitude in this is so lazy and I get the pressure being…
