Shout out to Steve Harrington for apparently being the only genre-aware person in the Hawkins group, grabbing something to defend the group as soon as they hear a weird noise, poking stuff around with an oar, not letting the cursed girl spend too long on her own… and when Dustin mocks him, he snaps back, “considering the people in this room have nearly died about half a dozen times, I don’t find it funny”. He’s so right and he should say it. Steve KNOWS he’s in a horror film and he’s built to be the final girl.
Intellectually, I know this bird is real. But I’ve never seen a photo or video where it looks real. Like this video just doesn’t look real. I will never be convinced this bird is real. Even if I saw this in person I would still think it’s fake, even though I know it’s real.
We need a counter to “Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a good point” that is “Heartbreaking: your favorite person in the world just said the stupidest shit you’ve ever heard.”
