I Am Not Okay With This

During this interview, Entwistle also suggested that there may be some friction between this new figure and Stanley: I Am Not Okay With this is a simply drawn graphic novel that has since been turned into a Netflix series. I have not seen the Netflix series, I therefore have no opinion on it or whether it's better or worse than the book. There are certain movies or references that come up as we're developing the script, but not once in all my years on Stranger Things and not once during I Am Not Okay With This do we as filmmakers say, 'Now we're going to do this shot like that one time in that movie.' I know people will find this hard to believe, but these influences are very strong but they're more latent and unconscious than declared." O’Keefe, Meghan (February 26, 2020).

You know what's weird but really the truth? Very much like the Duffers on Stranger Things, we never spend time declaring the homages we wanted to craft," Levy said (via EW). He’s interviewed a wide range of film icons, including directors such as David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Sofia Coppola, Ridley Scott, Michael Bay and Sam Raimi, as well as actors such as Meryl Streep, Nic Cage, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Anne Hathaway, Margot Robbie, Natalie Portman, Kermit the Frog, all of the Avengers and many more.I Am Not Okay With This's season finale ended with a major cliffhanger along with some big unanswered questions. That said, I felt that her superpower was a misstep - the narrative didn’t need a fantastical element to it; the realism of Syd’s life was more than enough for this book. All the superpower provides are the two stupidest scenes in this book, one of which was the ending. And the ending was the only part of the book I really disliked. It was needlessly nihilistic, unimaginative, hopeless, and too easy. Besides being uninspired and abrupt, what a negative message it sends to gay kids dealing with their sexuality!

I am not saying the time is not also ripe for a show I, for some reason, have been nurturing a growing longing to see over the past few years. It’s the story of a woman, aged 40 or so, uncorking four decades’ worth of repressed rage that are transmuted via the power of perimenopause into the ability to destroy imbecilic individuals, institutions and all unsatisfactory points in between and remake them according to her own lights. You could call it I’m Not Okay With This F***ing World. The book follows Sydney as she navigates a less than ideal puberty. She experiements with drugs and sex and generally attempts to fill the void she is feeling. Her coping mechanisms are unhealthy but not unrealistic. It's a fairly honest examination of the most confusing and hormonal years of a person's life. It may not be a universal experience but whether you like it or not it is an accurate one for many young people. It may have been cancelled in its current form, but it's exactly the sort of show the streaming giant used to save. So, either another streamer will step in, or Netflix will change its mind almost as soon as a vaccine starts being handed out. What I like about this comic is the raw language, the honest portrayal of kid boredom, and her struggles with sexuality and loss. I especially like how inarticulate Syd and almost all of the people in the story really are. Books sometimes speak of the unspeakable, and giving voice to the voiceless, but sometimes, people just don’t know what to say, and are not all talkative and poetic in narrating their hard experiences. Syd, for instance, “does stuff” with Stuart. It feels like real kid talk when the kids hang out. None of them are really likable, but they seem normal. I am reminded of Noah Van Sciver's lost and depressed young people.Sam has also interviewed several comic creators, including Stan Lee, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, and he has a zombie cameo in The Walking Dead comic.
