It was really fricking weird compared to what came before which was much smaller in scope and also dumping a shitload of new characters almost always rubs some people the wrong way especially when they try to give them all screen time because you already give a shit about someone else.
It was mostly because it comes on right as the season is climaxing and it fricks up the pacing. Had it been placed a bit earlier on it wouldn't have been so badly received
It's literally just a random side adventure that has no barring on the plot. S2 had one extra ep in it and it was as if someone just tacked this stupid crap on at the last min without thinking.
The scenes and characters seemed like they were from some other film or series entirely with all that anarcho-punk bullshit get up they had on.
Compared with the 80's portrayed up to that point in ST this hyper stylized bullshit with walking talking caricatures felt completely bizarre and out of place,
Like other anons said, it was out of place. It looked as if it was recorded after the final episode of the season was finished. Who knows if something else happened behind the scenes for this episode to be memory holed so hard, to the point that the hindu didn't even appear in the flashbacks in season 4.
It's probably because most of the series takes place in Hawkins (well before S4 anyways) and Hawkins in the 80's is portrayed as stuck in time like a Stephen King story. This episode was all "PUNK" and looked out of place so yeah.
when i first saw it i thought wtf but in retrospective it was fun and qt and much better than the s4 plotline of a dozen other kids doing the same thing as eleven
they should've had eleven run away earlier and have all this spread throughout several episodes, not just one that's right after the biggest cliffhanger of the season
Why do they so often grab the ugliest looking indians and blacks? If they're going to shove minorities down our throats why not at least make them attractive?
Americans have terrible taste in Indians. I've seen people talk about wanting to frick Mindy Kailing. It's completely baffling. It's not just Indians and Blacks, they always cast ugly Asians too. I mean look at Awkwafina. I swear, the make-up team on ST made the actress OP posted look worse than she does irl
What's funny is if you watch Asian movies and series they mostly cast the Whitest looking actors however in American movies they gotta cast the blackest looking Asians like even Koreans and East Indians don't want to see Black folk on their screens so frick off with that shit
Yeah, honestly. I have no idea where Hollywood finds the ugliest actors they possibly can. If you go to watch British movies their Indians and Black actors are actually attractive (Rahul Kholi, Nathalie Emmanuel) but then in Hollywood you have fricking Aziz Ansari and Dey Hea
I have no idea. Hollywood only cares about ugly minority actors. Look at the guy they cast as a Chinese superhero Shang-Chi or that one Indian guy that got bogged in Eternals. Even a lot of the leading men and women in Hollywood now are completely average looking.
Extremely hot, wish she didn't wax her arms.
I still don't even understand why this episode made people so angry

I wasn't made angry by it but it was also very nonsensical and out of place.

Literally wiener-blocking the climax of the season.

I rewatched this episode recently
>mfw I thought all the gang had superpowers but it was only this pajeeta and the rest were just old losers
They were trying to spin off and it didn’t work
Simple as
show bobs and vagene

>indian woman in 80s hawkins

blonds are airheaded bimbos so no
No they arent
this character was originally going to be a dude name Roman.
She's a white boy in the comics
Was Stranger Things a comic?

THIS
Can anyone explain why that ugly pajeet got her own show The Mindy Project?
I have no idea. Hollywood only cares about ugly minority actors. Look at the guy they cast as a Chinese superhero Shang-Chi or that one Indian guy that got bogged in Eternals. Even a lot of the leading men and women in Hollywood now are completely average looking.
i guess they're prioritizing acting skills over looks (assuming they're good at the former)
There weren't any poojeets in America in the 80s. It was a simpler and cleaner time
did they ever even mention this chick again? she seemed like she had no consequence on the story whatsoever.
Nope, and her younger panjeet version wasnt in the season 4 flashblacks with Eleven and all the superpower kids were young. Completely memory-holed
I honestly thought I saw a dark skinned girl with El in one of those flashbacks, very briefly. Even if it was there, who knows if it was intentional.
He should've lived
He didn't approve of Max's black boyfriend so that's a no no in Twitterland
How was this British Pajeet elements sister again?
Sister as in she was an experiment in El's program too. Or literally if we go by the theory that Father just knocks up women with psychic babies.
Do you think they view Ep7 as a massive blunder now? The jar jar binks of ST?
Franchise. Stranger Things Cinematic Universe. It was blatantly a backdoor pilot for a spinoff about all those frickheads.
Numbers in India were way below expectations so they needed to add an Indian character to try and boost subscriptions over there.

Those characters were going to be used in a Stranger Things Telltale game that ended up being canceled
