Stranger Things fans try to figure out shows | TV Shows

Stranger Things fans pointed out how the show’s producers have labored to fight the advancing age of the main forged as season 5 will get underway.

Fans of the show rushed to social media as the first 4 episodes of the long-awaited fifth season dropped on Netflix as they famous how a lot their beloved Hawkins favorites have aged since season 4 aired in 2022. Many pointed out the variations in the forged – with one fan noting how the staff behind the hit sci-fi offering have labored to dsguise the age discrepancy.

They wrote on X, “Love how Stranger Things solved the issue of the actors being in school and looking 30… By making all the other students look 30.”

A second viewer echoed the sentiment including, “It’s time for #StrangerThings! I hope I recognize the cast. It’s insane how long it’s been between seasons. They’re supposed to be like 12 years old and they’re all adults now. Which makes it the perfect 80s show: back when 30-year-olds were always cast at teens.”

More fans joined the dialog over the age of the forged, with one commenting, “The #strangerthings kids are way too old to be playing middle schoolers.” Another added, “I cannot get over how old these kids look #StrangerThings.”

A 3rd posted, “These kids are way too old now they’re meant to be like 12 and look in their 30s. Why didn’t they just de-age them?”
