The primary reason season 1 of Stranger Things worked at all is the performance Noah Schnapp gave, despite only being in a handful of scenes.
Will was (and is) loveable, vulnerable, strong, and sensitive all at once. Building and resolving his personal story is as important as defeating Vecna.

Trapjaw was the best value for a He-Man action figure. One dude with three weapons/arms PLUS the bear trap mouth.

Avatar and its sequel have done huge box office. The movies are recognized for having amazing CGI performances.
Yet I so rarely hear anyone really talking about them, about the stories. Are these movies just technological milestones that will be forgotten, story-wise, in a decade or two?

Superman's people didn't use the English alphabet, so why would he spell the name of his home planet as Krypton. Wouldn't it be more straight-forward to just spell it Cripton?
Why use K and Y?

In your experience, how often do TTRPG publishers reuse artwork from an earlier edition in a newer edition?
I know I’ve seen it occasionally at least.
