When I Did Not Binge-watch Stranger Things Season 4, Part I: Chapter Two: Vecna’s Curse

So, a little background about Vecna. Apparently he is an undead creature of power, a spell caster, and a dark wizard. So … is he more or less powerful than the Demogorgon of the past seasons of Stranger Things?

Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) and his super colorful outfits look like the sun on a summer day. It is so cute to see Mike and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) on a date. What happened to Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) feeling like a third wheel and I feel like that bullying scene is a little over the top. Eleven does not deserve that cruel treatment from anyone. For a fleeting moment there, I wished Eleven to eviscerate the girl and her posse. So evil.

Here are some quotes from Stranger Things – Season 4 Chapter Two: Vecna’s Curse

“Let’s go! This is life or death. Snap! Snap!” – Murray Bauman (Brett Gelman)

“But I’m having this problem where it’s like, I should stop talking. I have said everything I need to say. But then I guess I get nervous, and the words keep spilling out, and it’s like my … my brain is moving faster than my mouth, or … or rather my … my mouth is moving faster than my brain. I’m digging this hole for myself, and I want to stop digging, I’m trying to stop, but I can’t. And I’m doing it right now, aren’t I?” – Robin Buckley (Maya Hawke)

 

Robin: Oh, I’m hopeless.

Steve: Eh. We both are.

Robin: If only we could just, like, combine.

Steve: Combine?

Robin: No, think about it. I know exactly what I want, and I’ve found the girl of my dreams, but I just can’t get the courage to ask her out. Meanwhile, you go on like a million dates. And you have no idea what you want. So if we just combined, all our problems would be solved. Because, I mean, alone, let’s face it …

Steve: We totally suck.

Robin: Totally and utterly.

“My heart can’t take it anymore. It just can’t take it.” – Dustin’s mother

“Well, they said the same shit about Ted Bundy. Yeah, he’s a super nice guy, but then he’s murdering women on the weekend.” – Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink)

“This looks and reads like a ransom note, and a bad one at that. There’s no proof of like here.” – Murray Bauman

 

Murray: You saw him die, Joyce.

Joyce: I didn’t see a body.

Murray: Because he evaporated.

Joye: Or … he survived.

Murray: Okay. Okay. Let’s indulge this fantasy for a moment. He’s Houdini. He’s a cat man with nine lives. Whatever it is, he survives. What’s he doing in Russia. He was captured, that’s what. Then he probably met some new friends. And by friends, I mean the KGB. And believe me when I tell you, these people are the worst of the worst. I am talking torture, Joyce. And no matter how strong you think Jim is, they will break him. They will get his whole life story. And yes, that might very well include a planned date at Enzo’s with you, his co-conspirator, making this all an elaborate ruse to capture you as well.

Joyce: You just made all that up.

Murray: It’s a theory.

Joyce: I prefer mine.

Murray: So do I. Doesn’t make it right.

Joyce: Well, either way, this could be real. Hopper could be alive.

Murray: I suppose there’s only one way to find out.

 

“I’m so bad at this, I’m like Bambi on ice.” – Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard)

“Eddie? Your new best friend you think is cooler because he plays your nerdy game?” – Steve Harrington (Joe Keery)

“All right, look, Robin, I totally empathize but this cannot wait until Monday.” – Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo)

“No, that’s the Purple Palm Tree Delight working its magic, my man. Makes your troubles float away like the seed pods of a dandelion flowing in the wind.” – Argyle (Eduardo Franco)

“I can’t leave my mom and my brother to chase a dream that isn’t mine.” – Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton)

“Hellfire isn’t a cult. It’s … it’s just a D&D club. D&D? Dungeons & Dragons? It’s like a … It’s like a game. It’s a fantasy.” – Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin)

“I believe in innocent until proven guilty, all that constitutional shit. I just, you know, don’t think we can rule it out.” – Steve Harrington

“I attend to all customers equally, babes and non-babes alike. We’ve got a very big selection in here. It can be super overwhelming for these people.” – Steve Harrington

“That guy doesn’t know his ass from his elbow. Let me tell your side of the story.” – Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer)

“My nephew, he may look dangerous, but he didn’t do this. It just … ain’t in his nature. No matter what anyone says, and they will say things, believe you me. But this weren’t Eddie. The man who did this, who killed that poor girl, he’s pure evil. Ever hear the name Victor Creel?” – Wayne Munson (Joel Stoffer)

“And I’ve been a total third wheel all day. It’s been miserable. So, sorry if I wasn’t smiling.” – Will Byers (Noah Schnapp)

“Steve, why don’t you drop the oar?” – Dustin Henderson

“Her body just lifted up in the air. And she just, like, hung there. In the air. And her bones … her bones started to snap. Her eyes, man. It … it was like there was something, like, inside her head, pulling. I … I didn’t know what to do, so I … I ran away. I felt. You all think I’m crazy, right?” – Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn)

 

Dustin: Look, what I’m about to tell you might be a little difficult to take. You know how people say Hawkins is cursed? They’re not way off. There’s another world. A world hidden beneath Hawkins. Sometimes it bleeds into ours.

Eddie: Like ghosts and shit?

Max: There are some things worse than ghosts.

Dustin: These monsters from this other world we thought they were gone. But they’ve come back before. That’s why we needed to find you.

Max: If they’re back again, we need to know.

Robin: That night, did you see anything?

Max: Dark particles, maybe?

Dustin: It would almost look like dust, swirling dust.

Eddie: No, man, there was nothing you could see or touch. You know, I tried to wake her, man. She couldn’t move. It was like she … she was in a trance or something.

Dustin: Or under a spell.

Eddie: A curse.

Dustin: Vecna’s Curse.

Steve: Who’s Vecna?

Dustin: An undead creature of great power.

Eddie: A spell caster.

Dustin: A dark wizard.
