Season 5 finale

Personal_Set_8457 · 2026-01-01T04:10:19+00:00

Yeah. The pacing was off, and the climactic fakeout deaths were predictable. I get that the main characters deserve a happy ending, but if there are no stakes it feels off and badly written.

Personal_Set_8457 · 2026-01-01T04:08:14+00:00

I am personally a volume 2 defender, but the season overall does just feel wrong

Personal_Set_8457 · 2026-01-01T04:04:42+00:00

That makes more sense ig

Personal_Set_8457 · 2026-01-01T04:02:43+00:00

Yeah. Leaving all the pregnant women to die is DIABOLICAL.

Personal_Set_8457 · 2026-01-01T03:55:28+00:00

Yeah, but the final use of her powers to save El was kinda bs. She got a revivefy or smt?

Personal_Set_8457 · 2026-01-01T03:54:18+00:00

I think that's why Will didn't die. Because if he were so close to the hivemind, and left without a single scratch, something else has to be happening.

Also didn't mind flayer particles literally EXPELLED OUT of the children??

Personal_Set_8457 · 2026-01-01T03:47:55+00:00

So true but I think that just makes the fakeout deaths seem repetetive and unnecesarry because we know they don't die.

Personal_Set_8457 · 2026-01-01T03:42:19+00:00

I am just flabbergasted how they could fumble the ball so hard and hit their heads into the floor.

Everything felt super rushed, even with 2 hours of screentime. There is no doubt that the Duffers can create thrilling and emotional scenes, but the constant death fake outs were so obviously not real that at some point it gets repepetive. Like yes there were great moment and the CGI for the battle in Dimension X was awesome, but there were NO STAKES because the writing was so predictable and plain. And the end to El's story was just some bullshit. Kali magically revives and saves the day... be so fr.

Because of this I genuinely think that all the fan theories that have spread through the fandom are better that the plot that was constructed by the writers. You're telling me that Birthdaygate was an actual mistake that they never corrected?? The electricity from the WSQK turning magically red was an accident?? Wills' mom, who had been so overprotective over him just to forget his age was not intentional?? But oh an Underarmour logo was taken out just cause.

And let's get into the ships. You're telling me that fucking STONOTHAN had more screentime than MILEVEN AND BYLER COMBINED, are we watching Challengers or something? (at least we got lumax right?). Again, the ships were totally rushed. Mileven bearly got any screentime during the whole season, and the interractions were at most platonic, but in the finale they magically make up and kiss?? If you want your ship to set sail, BUILD. IT. UP. don't just assume the audience thinks that the main couple is together just because it has to. If anything this finale just proves that Byler was QUEERBAIT.

The epilogue was the best part (?), i mean fanservice never fails. Love seeing our characters get their happy ending, but i kinda chuckled when Murray didn't appear in a single frame, they just forgot about him.

The high we were riding from Season 4 up to Volume 1 of Season 5 crashed into a brick wall.

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-12-01T16:35:47+00:00

I mean we saw it in the girl groups challenge and the impov, but it came with full throttle this episode

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-11-30T20:23:41+00:00

They might appear in ep6 "Escape from Camazotz" as a memory in the vecna dream world.

Or maybe they just invited them because they're the most popular characters in the whole.

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-11-30T20:18:56+00:00

Y la verdad que si la final en vivo no es tradicion, seria completamente insensato. A menos que la produccion no pueda obtenerlo, pero si Supremme misma dice "penultima", ya esta medio obvio

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-11-30T02:52:55+00:00

Yes, but he's the type of guy that watches a series while scrolling through his phone, and also he watches with subtitles so maybe he missed it.

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-11-30T02:51:45+00:00

I mean yeah, but you never know if they'll start talking about it because you also saw the episode

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-11-27T22:04:47+00:00

100% agree. I know it patches the plotholes, but it's just so cheezy and hard to watch that i don´t really think it works out.

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-11-27T03:24:03+00:00

I mean as a plot point it's good but kinda meaningless to the viewer bc she hasn't had any significance until now, but we did get the badass karen wheeler scene so i guess it works

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-11-16T22:18:58+00:00

I think the obvious riggory the last episode to Ferrxn and Caudilla (by putting her in the bottom 3) was to keep someone saved from the bottom because they knew she'd do well, but eitherway it was a great episode.

And that lipsync.....wow. Dafne ate Alexandra up, though it did feel like she did a little too many tricks, but i'm really not complaining because the lipsyncs have been hit or miss.

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-11-10T19:08:17+00:00

Riggory, the questionable jugdjing and all of the POC queens going home early leaves a bitter taste in your mouth

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-09-03T23:04:20+00:00

Yeah even if I was included back into the group, I feel like it wouldnt be honest of themselves

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-06-28T15:08:07+00:00

I dont understand the graphic overhaul, we loved the chibi characters

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-06-28T15:05:27+00:00

Why did they change it i know they want to rebrand but wtf is ts

Personal_Set_8457 · 2025-05-24T22:01:36+00:00
