So far, so good on Stranger Things through episode four.
I have a question for the folks out there: Why are people obsessed with the Barb character? She has become some weird standard-bearer for a set of people.
Yeah, sucks she died, but what else was she than an awkward sex-shamer?
I think it was just a joke about how Barb went missing and no one really gave a shit.
I don't know. My FB feed and sites like the AV Club or Vice have made her into some martyr or something for nerds? Big-boned girls? I don't know.
Saying shit like "Barb is us."
Barb is the Forgotten Man.
"Who cares about Will Byers? He is a lazy lay-about who got lost. What of the plight of virtuous and clean Barb?"
Uuugh... her charactor was so uninteresting. Far as I could tell, she was only around so Nancy could feel guilty about her eventual death. Really had absolute;y no effect on me when she got killed last season.
Anyways, I finished the new season. Every bit as good as the first season. Well worth watching. I highly recommend it.
