    I stopped before that, I think around the time the guy in the cool car banged some soccer mom. It was just a sign that we weren’t exploring the human condition wither otherworldly tropes, but just throwing shit at the plot wall.

      I mean, he doesn’t actually bang her. But those scenes always grossed me out. I don’t want to see adults even almost fucking high school kids in my kids-on-bikes sci-fi show. Maybe the Duffer brothers would say they were lampshading an older sexist trope by gender-flipping it, but that doesn’t make it less repulsive.
