What Happened in Season 2 of Stranger Things

What Happened in Season 2 of Stranger Thingsの全貌を丁寧に掘り下げてご紹介します。

Season 2 jumps forward almost a year, but Hawkins is still recovering. Our favorite nerds—Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and the newly empowered Eleven—are trying to be normal kids. Spoiler alert: They fail spectacularly.

You remember how Will Byers was rescued from the Upside Down? Well, in Season 2, he’s not exactly back. He’s having visions of a giant, shadowy monster that looks like a spider made of pure anxiety. The kids call it the Mind Flayer, which sounds like a supervillain from a D&D manual. And honestly? It basically is.

The New Kid Who Steals the Show

Enter Max, the red-haired skateboard queen who gives zero cares. She’s like if a punk-rock tornado decided to join the boys’ club. Dustin instantly crushes on her, but Lucas is suspicious. Why is she so good at arcade games? Max brings a fresh energy—she’s tough, funny, and doesn’t take anyone’s nonsense. You’ll root for her, I promise.

But the real scene-stealer? That’s Steve Harrington. Remember the cocky jock from Season 1? Yeah, he gets a complete personality upgrade. He becomes a babysitter for the younger kids, cracking jokes with Dustin and fighting monsters with a spiked bat. It’s like watching a golden retriever learn to be a guard dog. Suddenly, Steve is the best character. Who saw that coming?
