LiS homage in Stranger Things 2?

[MarcoCash]

Something silly that I like to think having just watched the first episode of the second season of Stranger Things. Without any spoiler, let's say that we have a dialogue that goes like this:

"She is Maxine"
"Max"
"Sorry?"
"It's Max, never Maxine".

And the title of the episode is Mad Max...

If they call her Super Max, we'll know. ^_^

Me and my wife (just started watching S2) both jumped at that part and wondered the same thing XD

I thought that myself while watching in regards to the dialogue at least. I don't think the episode title is though as Stranger Things is set in the eighties and Mad Max is not a nickname she uses it just one of several puns Warren makes based off her name.

Of course the title refers directly to the movie, but I found funny that was also the nickname for the girl.

By the way, the character is called Maxine Mayfield...

I though the same thing, and checked on Twitter, there's some people who made that connection as well!

I'm hoping we can get a confirmation at some point (There were a reference to Life is Strange: Before the Storm in the South Park: Fractured But Whole game that was slightly ambiguous as well, but Ubisoft basically confirmed it was real on Twitter. Hopefully same thing for Stranger Things! :) )
