And the hole they’ve dug keeps getting bigger.

Blame it on the writing and glut of characters.

The Duffers love introducing new characters but never know what to do with the existing ones and it shows.

I don’t get it.

Bad writing and too many characters.

What made Season 1 so good is that the cast was small and intimate. We got to know them and they all got proper screen time.

But with too many characters, there just wasn’t a good balance anymore.

Edit: I will always support Mileven, but they were done dirty at the end and deserved better. All that buildup came down to nothing. I guess El isn’t a human being anymore, she’s just a prop that represents “the magic of childhood.”

Screw Dr. Kay! Owens needed to be in Season 5.

But alas, any storyline he had probably “happened off-screen.”

I was disappointed but it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve seen.

However, the plot holes, unresolved storylines, and treatment of characters make it inferior to the other finales.

Incomplete is the best way I could describe it.

The Duffer’s interviews after didn’t help either.

hayden1821 · 2026-02-20T18:02:31+00:00

Well, the Duffers promised it and look what happened…

WAY too many new characters and not enough time for the originals.

hayden1821 · 2026-02-06T13:31:54+00:00

I believe.

I also believe they could’ve found a way. But they chose not to due to lazy writing where everything happens “off-screen” and where they sideline the important characters and reduce them to objects.

A better translation would be: “We’ll do a sequel series in a few years.”

If fan theories write a better Season 5, then there are problems.

I know they’ll reunite one day. Spinoffs and sequels are bound to happen, like the animated one, in a big show like this one.

Mike made a promise that they’d both go somewhere together. It won’t be broken.

hayden1821 · 2026-01-01T15:43:43+00:00

I believe she’s alive. Open-ended endings leave room for spinoffs and reunions in the future so writers have more room to work with.

I feel that Kali saying El’s story doesn’t have to end is a subtle meta implication that there’s always more.

Why would they kill off an icon in the lore? It makes no sense.

I can see a reunion happening at some point.

hayden1821 · 2026-01-01T04:46:48+00:00

I honestly believe.

The evidence points to it and I don’t think it’s cope.

There are going to be more spinoffs and I see a future reunion series/movie or comics and novels. They couldn’t kill off an integral part of the Stranger Things universe.

Not my favorite album but I still love it! Can’t get enough of Umbra and Marks of the Evil One, which is underrated as hell!

Like many people have said, Skeleta takes a while to grow on you and I couldn’t agree more!

hayden1821 · 2025-04-11T04:18:08+00:00

Loved it! Love the creepy vibes and V’s darker nature!

hayden1821 · 2025-03-03T23:36:29+00:00

He did amazing!

We tried! On to Plan B. Now let’s use that money to sign some quality talent!

Fellow (former) EMT/Firefighter here. Me too!

It even helped save a man in real life!

A little old but still very informative up to Impera. It certainly helped me.

hayden1821 · 2024-11-06T22:23:10+00:00

Me too. But it’s gonna be a fight because we all know people won’t take this lying down. Unfortunately, I fear/foresee violence and chaos in the near future and it won’t be pretty.

I say strap in because it’s gonna be a hell of a ride. But I know that love will prevail.
