Stranger Things 5 has offended me by referencing the sorcerer class, introduced in the 3rd edition of D&D in the year 2000, while the characters would have been playing either 1st or 2nd edition in the 1980s. Having them split hairs that Will is not a wizard but more of a sorcerer feels lazy and is a further indicator that the 1980s aesthetic and the overall quality of the writing have fallen off.
Egregious.
I also don’t have actual problems right now, so I guess this is what I’m doing. So, you know, bear that in mind.
Plot twist: Will ends up working for TSR/WotC and is on the team working on 3rd, and he heads the team in charge of creating a new class. He draws inspiration from a home brew character he played in the 80s.
Kinda has me wondering how Netflix is going to milk the IP once the series ends. It feels like they’ve left a few possibilities so far, but those could be wrapped up with the last episode.
