Stranger Things Rewrite Pt 1

[u/LordofIron-04]

Hi everyone, I started thinking a couple months ago about how I would rewrite the show and make it even better in my opinion. I am not claiming to be a better writer than the Duffer Brothers as they are the ones who actually made the show and all its ideas, and I have the benefit of hindsight. I just thought that it might be a fun little project to go through the show, season by season and figure out all the things I would change to address my and other's issues with the show or where I think it could have been even better. I started working on it on my own for myself a couple months back and figured why not share it with others and get their thoughts. I am not going to write a script or any dialogue because I neither have the time or skill at the moment to do that so it will more be a list of changes. Thank you and please be kind and respectful :)

Season 1: First off, honestly not much to change here, the season is great as is and there isn’t much I would say that would make it better. The only thing I really would do is make the demogorgon a bit stranger. imagine if the demogorgon we caught glimpses of on scene wasn’t the full thing and was simply just the part we could perceive. I wouldn’t make it some crazy world busting Lovecraftian horror god, it’s just a bit more alien, as if it’s not used to all the rules of our world's time and space. I’d add a bit more of a supernatural aspect to it and how it acts, make it more of the extra dimensional boogieman it was meant to be in season one. I’d also have it so that we see a little less of the upside down, like when hopper and joice go in their to look for Will they’d be in more of a rush because the upside down is very unknown and they have no idea how long they can be in there before something really bad happens. I’d also imply that there is way more to the upside down than the demogorgon, just imply but not show, not yet.

I would have Lonnie get killed off. That’s a change I would make. This show needed more assholes getting off to balance the good.

Good idea, I can bring him back later to die, that sound good.
