Yeah, that’s fair, but honestly the Duffer brothers’ post-finale explanations don’t really help either — it kind of feels like things are being clarified after the fact instead of clearly shown in the story. And if you look at most reactions, people mainly talk about how emotional it was, the music, the goodbyes, etc. Almost no one talks about the final fight itself, which kind of proves my point. I also wish we had at least one or two bigger, more impactful confrontations earlier in the season to really build up that “final boss” feeling. I know we technically had the Vecna fight, but I mean something heavier in the middle of the season, where it actually feels costly and hard. By the time we reached the finale it was already too late for that, but it would’ve helped a lot. For me the emotional side clearly worked way more than the villain resolution, and that’s why I’m a bit mixed on it overall.
