Stranger Things is an iconic show. Stranger Things Season 4 Theories After The End of Stranger Things 3. From creepy government conspiracies to interdimensional cosmic horror. From Dungeons and dragons to the delicious, nostalgic cheesiness of the 80s.<\/p>\n

For many reasons, Stranger Things has taken the world by storm, not the least of which is its status as a love letter to the neon-lit, synthetic, era when the likes of Stephen King, Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, and David Cronenberg began to rise in film.<\/p>\n

When the allure of government conspiracies grew rampant, sci-fi experienced a coming-of-age, exploding in film and pop culture, and western capitalism evolved beyond recognition. Stranger Things is an infectiously potent blend that taps into our obsession with crime and conspiracies, harkens to our fascination with the ethereal and unknown, and calls to our nostalgia for a fragment of time that we don\u2019t know today.<\/p>\n

But perhaps another factor in Stranger Things\u2019 massive success is the resonant, poignant struggles of its human characters. In a world of teenybopper influencer culture and Disney Channel-Esque celebredom. Stranger Things sets up characters that feel ordinary by contrast.<\/p>\n

A focus on more than just the quirkier sides of youth; of life and death- adding to a relatively rare league of shows in mainstream media that feature a cast of child actors while exploring the raw vulnerability of what it is to be human. And don\u2019t get me wrong, even though a major part of the cast is composed of kid actors.<\/p>\n

Stranger Things is definitely not a \u201ckids show\u201d. The main threat in Stranger Things may be based in the realm of the alien and borderline supernatural, but it sets up challenges for our characters to overcome that aren\u2019t by any means superficial. I\u2019m not just talking about the awkward, hormonal period of adolescence, but of heavier things like abuse, addiction, and manipulation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Through it\u2019s characters, we feel the pains of mental illness- the complexities of post-traumatic stress, of depression, of coping with loss. And this brings us to one of Stranger Things\u2019 most beloved, yet complex characters.<\/p>\n

Hawkins Sheriff and Chief of Police, Jim Hopper. This is Stranger Things Season 4 Theories. The rough around the edges, no-bullshit cop, with a heart of gold, who can turn on the charm to get what he needs, or lay down the law with his fists if it comes to that- which it often does. Hopper\u2019s heavy-handedness is an aspect of the character that\u2019s often used to comedic effect, evoking certain cynical humor.<\/p>\n

Especially in contrast with the goofiness of other characters, or his sheer powerlessness next to a child who can slam doors closed with her mind. Curiously, it seems that some fans were concerned about Hopper\u2019s arc in Season 3.<\/p>\n

More specifically that his more aggressive behavior might influence impressionable young viewers who look up to the character. But I think there\u2019s actually a lot to learn from watching his inner complexities. He\u2019s definitely one of the three main anchors of the show, but what is it about Hopper that makes him so fascinating?<\/p>\n
