Stranger Things: Goodbye Mike

- the video is no longer on youtube, but I will write this based on what I can remember

Stranger things are set in the 80's on a girl with powers called Eleven, she escaped from a lab where they would test on her and others children with different powers. She becomes friends with 5 new people. One of these friends is abducted by a weird looking life form called a "Demogorgon" who has trapped him in an alternate world called the "upside down". Eleven along with the others try and save their friend.

In the scene shown, the Demogorgon tries to attack mike, Lucas and Dustin. They are vulnerable and have no true understanding of how to stop it from harming them. Suddenly, Eleven bursts into the room and pins the 13foot being to the wall with her powers, killing it. The lights frantically flicker. A portal like hole forms, Eleven walks through and faintly say the word " goodbye mike". Following Propps theory, it is likely that there will be a resolution to this new arising issue. Although the Demogorgon issue was resolved, Eleven leaving is another issue.

Stranger Thing's subvert stereotypes by putting a female as the hero and the mail characters as the helpers or donors. This is different as women aren't usually playing a strong and dominant character. The age of these characters are also important, children are usually portrayed as clueless and vulnerable, however, in this programme, the children are the ones who save the day.

The Demogorgon and Eleven are a big part of this show, these two characters help it make it known that it is apart of the SyFy genre. The flickering lights create a sense of suspense in the room. The physical featured of this creature in front of her makes this programme fit into the Syfy genre as aliens and mythical creatures are usually associated with science fiction. The main character, Eleven, has the power of telekinesis. Her unique powers also add to the science fiction genre.

Stranger Things offers entertainment and diversion. It is set in the 80s, this is significant as it offers the older views a sense of nostalgia as it brings them back to a world that they once grew up in
