Well, I adore Stranger Things, but let's face it, it's just ET meets IT with some other stuff thrown in (Firestarter, Poltergeist, Goonies). If it has stuff in common with an adaptation of one of its source materials, that's hardly a surprise.
WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD, JACKASS!

(chuckle) My, but people do obsess over that "gang bang" scene, don't they…?
There are 8.2 billion people in the world. 8.19 billion of them have never heard of and don't give a fuck about Charlie Kirk. Get over it.

I don't think the turtle made Beverley think she can bang her way out of that situation.

I don't remember a scene in Stranger Things where they all take turns having sex with Eleven. Unless there is am underage child gangbang in one of the cut scenes I missed.

That's a fraction of the story, though.

Um, that's because the basic plot to any story can broken to only so many elements: man vs man/ an outsider/society, man vs nature, and man vs himself. Does that make everything a remake now?

It really is, though. It's just kids fighting a monster
With the Turtle it's a deeper story about the rilvary between two giant ancient forces of the cosmos.

Yeah. No. Nice try though
My father was a drunk, a gambler and a womanizer. I idolized him

Stranger Things
ripped off Stephen King as much as it possibly could and still avoid being sued.

As it turns out, Muschietti's
'IT'
is garbage, IMHO. Part 1 is lame and Part 2 is even worse. Muschietti made so many changes it isn't even the same story King told.
To clarify, in an absolute sense, it's a decent movie as horror flicks go, but it's a
terrible
adaptation. Almost as bad as Kubrick's take on
The Shining

I dunno, I think I'm just being a spoilt brat. IT could be just a great movie, it doesnt have to be a great Horror movie. It could be the new Stand By Me.

I just mean they're a bunch of kids being terrorized by a monster and band together to fight it Stranger Things is more plot driven, IT is more character driven.

I don't know
But I do know this: IT and Stranger Things really aren't that similar. At all. Maybe if you tilt your head and squint.

Your point is?

Wouldn't that make it Stranger Things with a turtle
