Movie adaptation cartesian plane where x axis is “good/enjoyable film” to “dogshit” and y axis is “faithful to the source material” to “an entirely different story”
people have tagged this as life imitates art, and I need you to understand that no, I saw this picture of my friend falling off the got dang swing and thought it represented human hubris so well that i went into a made haze of acrylic paint and when I awoke I was holding this finished canvas.
steve as a mothman cryptid that robin and dustin try to protect (well, robin does most of the protecting, dustin usually gets distracted trying to experiment on him)
and eddie as a cryptid-enthusiast who’s just so curious about dustin’s very bad lying about where he’s going every weekend
obviously he follows him and is tackled by 7ft of fluffy moth-steve, who ends up getting distracted by all of eddie’s sparkly jewellery
robin threatens bodily harm, dustin asks for help as a lab assistant and steve keeps trying to bite through his leather jacket
(yes eddie wants to kiss the mothman, yes robin gives him shit for it, no he doesn’t think using neon glow-in-the-dark lipstick is a good flirting technique)
