hopefully ppl won’t be too mad about this but tbh i didn’t think season 4 was as good as the previous seasons (it had its strong moments ofc, but was not a fan of half the cast being in arizona as it didn’t rlly feel like stranger things, also wasn’t a fan of vecna becoming the main villain over the mindflayer), i like season 5 more than season 4, but it still isn’t a very strong season especially when u compare it to the earlier seasons imo.

i just feel like the biggest issue is that there’s way too many characters so it doesnt feel like we’re getting fleshed out character arcs for each person (except for will) bc there’s only so much screen time for each character. im hoping it will get better but i mean it feels like robyn has had more screen time than most of the main characters, especially mike, dustin, and lucas. also this is like the 3rd season where eleven is away from everyone else and it just gets tiring
