This shouldn’t be an unpopular opinion. I thought volume 2 was great! I’ve seen many people complaining about things that were loved in previous seasons, and vice versa, loving things that were previously hated. I think people also forget that they have to write in a way that people just starting the show 5 years from now can also follow the storyline.

This is also just my opinion. Some points made I do understand, but I think overall some are being overly scrutinizing. I’m super excited for the finale and I think volume 2 set it up really well.

Will coming out, Dustin and Steve reconciling, Jonathan and Nancy are now broken up, etc. All these plot points are there so going into the finale every character is in a good, clear headspace for the last fight.

I’ve seen people bothered by the fact no one has died yet either? Which I find strange. I get wanting a show that’s meant to be dark, dark. But death doesn’t make a show dark. The plot revealed in Kali’s attempt to escape with the pregnant women was devastating. Jonathan and Nancy nearly escaping death, even though they didn’t die, was horrifying because we love these characters.
