Honestly shocking
The backlash was so insane I actually stepped away from social media alot for a few days
Tbh not really cause you purchased the ticket you're not just gonna miss one of the biggest tv show finales because you didn't like it, you still wanna finish it
I mean yeah but they can just instead do it at home instead of spend the time going to theaters
Like for me, im having to drive 2hrs to see it
I'm sure if they purchased the ticket they already sorted it out
But I didn't cancel
Less than 48hrs to go 😭
Its been a wild and crazy experience over the last few years
Its rare for a show to create this kind of experience
mhm
Trailer dropping at midnight?
Probably not, I think 8 am PST to like 5pm PST
Tmr
Its a big time gap but theres no official anything to say when it releases
But in the past the trailers were in the mornings and 5pm is 24hrs prior
Realistically imo they should’ve released it today
Honestly
Did y’all hear that a spin off is apparently in the works?
Its getting released in like 2 months I think
One last trailer

@lapis sandal
Im just gonna wait for tomorrow
Omg
Huh

THIS SHOT OMFGGGG
Any ideas on what it may be about
11 gotta live.. SHE HAS TO PLS
The duffer brothers were tight lipped but they said its a whole new thing tied to the show but ne characters, location, etc.
So a sequel just elsewhere?
Yeah but its not gonna have many any references to ST
This finale is supposed to wrap up the show and this spinoff starts a whole new story. It won't play off of loose ends
oh are they onna make it an anthology kind of deal
In a way yeah
Did they say someone was going to die this season
its gonna suck if the biggest plot twist is that nobody dies
dustin and steve 100% arent dying
Thinking about the fact that it’s over tomorrow has me bawling.
the trailer dropped
steve’s gonna die
dustin’s screaming/crying
with someone from the military holding him back
i saw someone say it could be the science teacher 😭
Sameee, its been hitting like a box of bricks 😭
10 yrs of experience and memories ending tmr
its been review bombed
a ton of people spamming 1/10
it’s due to a lot of things
mostly related to the episode writing specifically related to
eight coming back
and will’s coming out scene
it wasnt perfect but putting 1/10 is disingenous imo
Real
Which is all dumb reasons, and dont forget how un realistic the Wormhole is 😭😭
Its a fantasy show, what do people expect
it’s a sci-fi fantasy show on a streaming featuring young adults/kids with psychic abilities fighting against supernatural beings named after d&d creatures 😭
Is it me or is that vecna behind hopper..
People are saying it is
Exactly, like people calm down
😭
i think the show/episode turned them upside down
😭😭💀
I believe they said it’s between season 2 and 3
Wdym
It’s called Stranger Things: Tales from ‘85 and it’s an animated series of the group and it takes place between Seasons 2 and 3
Thats a different spin off
There's another in the works by the DB but at the scale of the current show but new story and everything
there’s two spinoffs
a live action one (the anthology one)
and tales from 85 (animated, takes place in the winter of 85, between seasons 2 and 3, has a brighter tone, with more of a lovecraftian influence for the monsters)
They didn’t clarify which one 😭
finale tmr we r so back
2?? Oh shit
I don’t even think it’s that
it’s just that it’s the last episode of the volume
People were expecting more like vol1 and will getting powers or something wild
They could’ve shown something that happened when vecna got hold of the kids
To show us like “we’re completely fucked”
We don’t even know how powerful the kids will be
just a few more hours
TODAYS THE DAYYY
10.5 hrs
Thank youu
20 minutes 😭
season 5 was really bad. hoping the finale is better than what we’ve got so far
10 minutes
I look at vol 2 as character building for one last plot
why the question mark?
Saying it’s “rlly bad” is a far stretch imo
Same here 😭
I feel like I know what’s gonna happen but at the same time I also don’t
it’s bad compared to previous seasons imo
Not rlly but ok
it just felt like exposition dump
I am still hopeful for Byler even with everything in vol 2
I’m interested in that theory that they aren’t in reality with all the weird unexplained time line problems
i hope
season 1 is peak stranger things
Facts
1 minute
Its been nice knowing yall, see yall on the other side 😭❤️
Time to cry
ONE MINUTE
ITS TIME
last first time watching a stranger things episode
WE ARE SO BACK
military guy pmo

the soundtrack >>>
RIP Eleven

Vecna pmo
Then talk here after a couple hrs pls
If you are just gonna spoil it
NO WSY…

||YES??? IM SO CONFUSED||
we’ve been vecnad cuz wtf
i’m so fucking confused
right
||did kali heal her?||
||i think so im still so confused||
||or was it just a vecna vision ||
I think so
so happy mike and nancy have been interacting this season
||OH OHHHHH THE CAVE||
||leaving kali 💀||
military pmo bc they’re trying to save the world and you’re doing what???
Literally, your causing more harm than anything 😭
||HOLLY……||
like they’ve been doing your job for you for the past few seasons???
and your calling them freaks???
yall literally made them like that 💀💀
the flashbacks i’m crying 😭😭😭😭
||WHAT||
Dare I say the best finale so far??
GO FOE THE HEART
ELLLLL
|| BAHAHAH IM DYING AT LUCAS BRO SAID 😲||
||so the egg babies are obviously for the spinoff right?||
||EL AND WILL TEAM UP||
||the fight was kinda short and suspicious||
||KATE BUSH WAS PLAYINF||
||WHEN DOVES CRY??? PEAKKK!!!||
||so Akers and Kali have died so far right?||
||Its a prince song???||
||purple rain im gonna cry||
Forgive me lmfaoo
Wait what’s happening
I’m not watching cause like I haven’t watched any episode of the show ever
||PURPLE FUCKING RAIN????||
||GOODBYE UPSIDE DOWN 💔||
||NOOOOOOO||
Samee and people wanted to argue about it
Me too
||obviously they were going to end the same way it started… as normal… with no trace of powers||
||or any trace of the upside sown||
Exactlyyyyy
||so eleven died??||
||full come back to season 1 finale||
||Yes||
||She died in the ud collapse||
Its not we flash forwarded
||poor hop :(||
He could have dreamt that flashforward
||hop lost two daughters…||
Its not its robin giving a recap like she did at the start of s5
||this shit is so stupid||
Its actually a good finale
||they should’ve killed off Erica instead of eleven||
not really
girl why erica 😭
||Eleven dieing has logic||
I think so
||moral of the story: if you suffered every day of your life with no choice in the matter, you should die and sacrifice yourself||
That makes no sense
exactly #boycott
Like genuinely
that's the point
Wait
can we get a gay kiss already
the callback to season 1
DUSTINS MOM
||if the existence of the upside down was erased…that would mean we don’t see bodies of those that “died” which means they maybe didn’t even die?? Like eleven in particular thanks, Idc about Akers or kali||
karens scars 😭 ❤️🩹
||the full come back to the show being about outcasts ||
bro 😭
Uhm
😕😕
||vecnas death reason is hilarious||
so like wtf happened to vicky
i have 30 mins left
OMG
why is this epilogue so goddamn long
OMG ITS A HOPPPER FULL CIRCLE MOMENT 😭😭❤️❤️
did the budget REALLY run out
Like 15 more minutes
If someone DOES want the spoiler dm me but don’t mention it here
the fight was so short too 😭😭😭
They said its 40 minutes long
The thing I saw is at the end of the episode guys so prepare yourself
Y’all aren’t ready
AHHH
||there’s a twist that’s so shocking y’all have no idea||
||Is it the twist I’m thinking of…👀👀||
||el is alive||
||what part did y’all just watch so I know wether I can mention it||
||YUP!||
OMFGGGGG
||3 WATERFALLS||
🥹🥹🥹
||I had wrong reason but I said el would be alive||
||AGGH MRS WHEELER||
||Wait technically this was right||
||wait but mike just made that up||
literally 😭
||Ik but it could be true, the db left the imagination open for the fans||
HOLY OMG
how i feel being a freshman in college watching this
It so upsetting this shows ending
KIDS???
OMG THE TOY STORY REFERENCE IS MAKING ME SO SAD
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
i’m actually so sad
Same
this was my childhood
Oh my god 😭
i want a tv show following steve, nancy, and jonathan after the events of the show 😭😭😭
Brb while I cry 😭💔
i’m going to go ball my eyes out while mourning my childhood
not the best
fight was way too short
and anticlimactic
that’s all i’ll say
I feel like this was the worst season
the weakest for sure
It didn’t feel like it was wrapped up
that’s because they’re planning for a spin off
we didn’t get to explore the abyss at all
Yeah but not in a way that feels like you’ve actually got all the information you wanted
yeah like why tf were there alternate dimensions
||Like wdym you’re too scared to kill off any major characters, Steve falls and then suddenly is saved???||
and how did the lab find out
also what was the mind flayer rock and how did the guy with a brief case get access to it??
Also they said that picture Will drew for Mike was gonna finally be answered, MIKE SAYING SORRY TO WILL IS NOT CLOSE
Im gonna be stranger not okay dyna 😭💔
||so many unanswered questions, i'm so disappointed ||
But thanj god no one too crazy died
Vecna is major
The funko pop joke make so much sense now
like how did the lab get access to that rock that gave henry powers
YES ECACTL
But you expect him
||a solid 45 mins of it was FILLER. nothing useful to the plot||
also did joyce ever realize she knew henry???
But not who it was that killed him
Stranger things has officially ended after 9 years
i was 10 when ts first came out 🥀🥀🥀
15/16 here
i’m in college now
Now 25 😭
I was 5 or 6 (depending on what tje date was) and I’m now 16.
Same.
i followed the party basically
What date did ST1 release?
I feel like they had such a good start, then covid hit and they didnt know the show anymore
2016
That happened with so many shows
I mean the date
Nov 6, 2016
oh idk
Two days before I turned 7 wtf
It was also a nod to will going missing
i just know twitter ain’t gonna be a nice place
why does the government want to create super powered people in the first place
Yep
the epilogue boyfriend 🥀🥀🥀
In avoiding social media, they are probably picking it apart rn
Anyone watching just finished so it’ll take some time before it gets bad
I’m staying here where I know if people be assholes about it mods like myst will handle it
||el was literally dead. there was no reason to not have mike and will end up together ||
what made it worse, is they cut it up so much for releasing that it made the episodes so much more obviously not amazing
||all the people that were like “mike would never cheat on el” can’t make that excuse anymore||
||not only that but they could’ve just let her stay dead||
On a totally unrelated note, I have 15 days till I go to Tenerife (as it’s already NYD for me)
||mike just made that up. she probably did actually die.||
||At least Lumax is endgame||
||i like how eli’s death was a callback to season 1’s finale||
The way we don’t know what happened with Vicky
||the only ship besides hopper and joyce that wasn’t bones||
Like mans was caught, then gone
She’s probably somewhere with Robin is at
I think it’s good that ||steve didn’t die as it would just be way more too tragic with Eddie dying last season||
idk she never mentioned her
||i mean they let hopper lose both his daughters so…||
||The hoper and Joyce engagement was so wholesome when in the play as they were kids, he was a bully to her 😭❤️||
Same for ||the ogs like will, Dustin, Mike etc||
||el isn’t dead remember||
Honestly best part of the ending
||mike said he made that up||
mike was coping
||Wait so she’s really dead||
||It’s the way that the leaks of Steve/Dustin, Mike/Hopper and Millie being in Iceland were real 😭||
god i love the dnd styled credits
Im so glad the Steve injury leak was fake
||i think it’s supposed to be up to the viewer, but mike literally says he made it up to cope.||
||i wish steve had a more satisfying ending. poor guy is stuck in hawkins.||
It’s rlly the end.
I ALMOST CRIED
We all are, at least I am. Best finale
Absolutely. Everything I’ve possibly asked for.
Guys imagine ||steve actually died but Eddie had been there to help him cross the bridge via hallucination before he died||
What do we do after this guys? Its the post last eras show again 😭💔
||duffer brothers said they didn’t want a got ending but they too also killed off their main character 😭😭💀💀||
watch dark if you love stranger things
It made sense
best part is it’s finished and you can binge
well yes but it’s funny
I plan to but it will be hard to get into anything rn tbh
Ive been in a stranger things mood since November 😭
Well what a way to end the year..
Oh fuck me
stranger things had some of the best characters and dynamics of any show imo
With a bang, they should've added fireworks 
Real
some of the best character development as well
At least we no longer have to endure any trauma
The stranger things server chat opens in 10 minutes, im scared to see everyone else's thoughts
Do you mind sending me the link in DMs
well that was wild
Invites are closed rn
Oh.
Bro I hate that they left it on a “I believe” ending 😭 and the duffers most likely won’t clarify
||why didn’t el just snap all the militaries necks while in the upside down portal||
REAL SHITTTT
Yeah that part i dont understand, the lockdown i do. But I guess there will be trolls during release too
But chat lockdown so the mods can watch and not have to monitor chat
I wanted to know what actually happened to eleven but they left it on that ending 😭
Same
mike just made that shit up as a huge cope
I know and it pisses me off cause they had real scenes so is it true or false 😭
||It was either A. An illusion and she couldn't or B. Being in the other side of the portal you cant do powers across the gate ||
Also where the FUCK are the demogorgons
the more i sit with the finale the more i hate it
Justice for the dogs and bats 💔
They said they died when they hurt the hivemind or whatever but they were just abducting kids 😭
like why didn’t the mind flayer have demogorgans coming after them as well
also wtf happened to dereks family 😭
After that, I mean in the abyss like your saying
I’m pretty sure I saw a BTS photo of them covered in dirt so maybe it got cut
Oh yeah
the dogs died from karen putting an oxygen tank in the dryer
I think the dogs are young versions of the demogorgens
so if the show ended like this anyway why not just end the show at season 1 like they intended…
There's ALOT more than a few
oh
You see alot of them in S2 when El's trying to close the gate
So makes me belive there was more than the few in the laundry room
People are setting off fireworks this is NOT the time to celebrate 😭
I just have to wait for an interview where someone confirms that eleven actually lives
RIGHT?
they should’ve just ended at season 1
Girl no
Don’t even
We’re already here 😭
Fr
ended the show the same place we started 😭😭😭
I think Netflix pushed for s5 to be done quickly
It was still good either way being rushed
Demogorgons would’ve abducted kids still
It was a good season, I’m not gonna take that away from it. But man.
what am i supposed to do with myself now that s5 is done
Greatest fucking show ever
||duffer bros so mad at both bilers and milevens that they put both ships in the grave||
Real, what am I gonna do
Genuinely fuck byler so happy they did a fake out LMAO
||same with jancy and stancy shippers||
i have thousands of shows to recommend
or movies with the same vibe
mileven was not even supposed to happen 😭 mike couldn’t even say “i love you” til jane called him out
Similar to st?
I can only imagine the pure second of hanging joy they had when Mike said “we’re not friends…… best friends”
Series or a movie?
series. three seasons. already dinished
Bet tysm.
I just wanna see what actually happened with elevens ending
Thats all I wanted 😭
And they didn’t even have a grave for her omg FUCK
i wonder if they’ll tease her in the spinoff
if she’ll be like an old woman
I just finished it
also i wonder if the spinoff will be in the future?
Ok yeah what’s the other spinoff? Ik abt the animated one
I'm kinda emotional now
is it bad that i feel numb
No I feel the same way to
i’ve been through so many tv finales
This is like… childhood..
i don’t think any will ever devastate me as much as supernatural
i sobbed
“the duffer brothers say…”
LEAVE ME ALONE
the duffer bros are only 41. they’ll have time to create another tv show with the same vibes
and by vibes i mean with the same character dynamics
Should I watch it in theaters tomorrow?
Yessss
for those who are feeling down in the dumps listen to “silver springs” to really make yourself feel worse
“you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you.”
can’t wait for the edits
When I saw the credits I immediately skipped through to find like those end credit scenes only to be disappointed 😭
I fear eleven actually died and elevens ending was just him writing it as an author 😭
i thought they would have an end credits scene as well…
Ughhh fml
at least one to tease a spinoff
they said no one guessed the ending
kenna
the duffer brothers arent staying with netflix
Good
They aren’t?
Moving to paramount
the painting…
Oh!
FUCK
so if theres any plans for stranger things, its not with them
true
Maybe they will still work with netflix for stranger things related stuff but everything else is under paramount
they’ve already said they’re going to have a spinoff
Except for the animated spinoff, I believe they still have that with Netflix but then are working with paramount at the same time
the duffer bros said something along the lines of “even if they kill vecna, the evil isn’t over yet.”
there’s still a lot of loose ends
i mean the evil wasnt over
the military was still there
im still wondering what happened to vicky
i’m thinking the mind flayer eggs we saw are… something
also did yall clock the reference to montauk…?
This is why I wanna rewatch it bc I didn’t catch a lot of things bc of the emotions I was feeling.
Like obv I understood the ending and what happened but any references or anything like that I most def didn’t catch.
the montauk reference is in reference to the original name given to stranger things
it was based on the montauk project
Ohhhhh now I’m what you’re talking about, they did talk about that interviews but I didn’t catch it in the finale
the original location for stranger things was gonna be montauk, long island
YES
hopper said he got a call from montauk to be the new chief of police
Oh wait now I’m what you’re talking about.. that was moments before the proposal right?
yes
now im thinking that can’t be coincidence
and it’s a setup for a spinoff
perhaps set in the future
maybe the 90s or 2000s
bc at the end of the day, there’s still an alternate reality. perhaps multiple?
Kinda like a what if thing?
i was thinking more of the fact that the government had to find accesss to the alternate reality somehow to get that stone with the mind flayer hive mind in the first place. they never went over how the man with the brief case found it. so obviously the government is still going to look into it. there’s a lot more stuff we don’t know. they could make a spinoff in the future that focuses on the lab restarting the hawkins lab project
Ohhhhh I get it, the demogorgons had to give themselves to the mind flayer to build it up that’s why there weren’t any
I would be down for that spin off
I’m ngl that spider mind flayer Godzilla looking thing was sick asf
I hate that too because like do the particles still exist since they went out of the kids? And technically can’t they just be reactivated by fire like they did with the demogorgon?
I did not expect that
I expected it lol
Except I thought it was gonna be a dragon
Cause of the eyes and teeth
i am more sus over the mind flayer eggs we saw when steve and dustin went under it
like there were lots of eggs
Crushed when it fell to the ground tbh
all it takes is one to not be crushed
That’s what I’d say
But when the particles die everything dies
Doesn’t matter if it’s an egg
Still connected
And is it me or did Henry have the chance to save himself when will was talking to him?
But they left a loophole on whether anything actually dies
That’s what I was confused, did the mind flayer take back over or was that Henry that had succumbed to the mind flayer
Right, cause if the truth is in front of you.. why would you run the opposite direction..
i like the juxtaposition between henry and will. henry was infected with the mind flayer, but in the end he CHOSE to do evil. they didn’t cop out and redeem his character. will on the other hand resisted the mind flayer
Also why the fuck was will in a bar 😭
That’s like the complete opposite of what he’d seemingly do
college bar looked like
Was out of character imo
Yea that’s what I thought to and what it seemed like
i’ve barely seen my friends i’ve had since elementary since going off to college
the end credits where they played heroes almost had me crying
time to blast right where you left me
did robin ever take vickie to enzos
it’s canon to me that will and mike both went off to do their own thing and then when they’re 45-50 years old and the internet is available for public use, they reconnect on myspace and then get together and get married
I wish I could interview the duffers cause my questions are
- Is Eleven’s ending that Mike said actually reality or was it just him coping?
- Did Kali actually die when Eleven and Hopper were there or did she plan Eleven’s illusion when Hopper left to get bandages and faked being dead when he came back so he wouldn’t suspect Eleven is alive?
- What happened with Robin and Vickie?
- Can the mindflayer be revived since the particles exited the kids and it’s shown that particles can be reactivated through fire. So if another experiment like the Eldridge happened would the cycle continue?
- Where is Owens
when they played landslide 😭
wait when did they play landslide
before the graduation
oh
also wtf happened to lonnie
girl wdgaf ab lonnie we left him in 2016
me and my deadbeat dad
so right after the upside down vanishes
anyone want tv recommendations after that
you have to tell me what vibes from the show you want
i wish we had an alternative ending where everyone died
especially steve
i do not like steve
the character dynamics, the scifi aspects, the horror aspects, or the retro aspects
i am tired of pretending to like steve
steve’s my favorite character
but he honestly needed to die
my favorite is mike but his character is fucking useless
his character arc ended and now he has nothing to do
they should have at least ended it with steve going to police training
i can't find the scene😭😭
having him be a coach came out of nowhere
or becoming a manny or something
I hate how they kept making “jokes” about him dating multiple girls as his last interaction with that group
he should’ve ended up with me
Kinda ruined it just a smidge for me, turned that tender moment into a like ok well why’d you have to say that
jancy should’ve been endgame
They didn’t share anything really
They were bonded by trauma
Now that trauma is over
kinda salty we don’t get to see what erica is doing after all of that
Not much tbh she did the confetti and is just continuing school ig
We didn’t see Susie either
susie and dustin are bones
so could i get clarification with the relationship between henry/vecna and the mind flayer?
was it the mind flayer controlling henry or did henry join willingly?
Mind flayer controlling him
I think
It seems like it managed to hold onto him long enough to take over him
initially unwillingly, but as we see, he willingly follows along with the mind flayer evil plans
because will was connected to the mind flayer, but he chose not to do evil with it
in my mind, when the wormhole was destroyed, el ended up in a new reality #idfc
Omg we didn’t see Kali officially die?
It was only shown when hopper got back
What if they did actually make the plan while he was gone
she ended up in fuckass marvel
And Kali faked being dead so even hopper wouldn’t know eleven was alive and try to find her
Them putting their binders on the shelf was a stab in the heart
I genuinely wanted to just full on cry
Also Mike looks like S1 Steve with that hair 😭
I broke down when I saw that..
Now I gotta celebrate nyd, like I didn’t just witness a heart wrenching ending…
listening to “holy ground”
for the line “but i don’t wanna dance, if im not dancing with you.”
#mileven
and also for the line about for all that we’ve been through
right after the guards catch the kids and el “dies”. its where robin is on the radio alone, after they rebuilt hawkins. “18 months later”
I need to see the table reads
FUCK ITS A FAKE ENDING
ohh
“For our characters to move on and for the story of Hawkins and the Upside Down to come to a close, Eleven had to go away. We thought it would be beautiful if our characters continued to believe in that happier ending even if we didn’t give them a clear answer to whether that’s true or not. The fact that they’re believing in it, we just thought it was such a better way to end the story and a better way to represent the closure of this journey and their journey from children to adults.” - Ross Duffer
Fuck 😭
that’s what i was saying. if any of the super powered folks lived, the story wouldn’t end. it would be a continuous loop of the government coming after them
“But ultimately, in terms of where Henry goes, it doesn’t matter because he chooses the side of the Mind Flayer at the end of the day. “
Fuck the govt bro.
So basically Henry was so into it all that he basically followed the mind flayer but wasn’t actually controlled at that point
He decided it for himself
so he chose evil
yep that’s what i was saying. thats the juxtaposition of will and henry
@spiral osprey
😭😭😭😭
she lived most of her life in a lab and the rest fighting monsters and hiding from the government
😭😭😭
Ross Duffer: Obviously, no one’s concerned about Erica. She can take care of herself. She’s gotta go through high school now, but she’s just so tough.
Matt Duffer: She’s absolutely going to be valedictorian. That is for sure. What happens beyond that, I don’t know. She can go where she wants to go.
“The Duffer Brothers have left it up to viewers to decide how they want to interpret Eleven’s ending. But for her friends, “she lives on in their hearts, whether that’s real or not,” Ross Duffer says.”
Like he said no one’s rlly concerned about Erica, I didn’t even think about her till y’all mentioned her
Wait what
Eleven is dead and a story was made up for the main characters to cope with it
Fuck it hurts just to type that
in my mind, eleven reconnects with everyone on myspace
someone needs to make a silver springs edit with mike looking at the speaker to the lyric “you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you.”
also why didn’t el just stay in the abyss rather than dying
🧍🏼♀️
That’s my next question..
What happened with the abyss?
Did it just disappear? Did it remain as some floating island thing?
I think Henry became evil because him being trapped in the lab kinda “proved” the mind flayer was right
the abyss is just another world like earth
It still exists the connection is severed
Which is why there’s a plot hole of a loop starting again
the wormhole was created when eleven made contact with it
Oh?
Another Eldridge could happen they go into dimension X, use fire to start the particles up again, and create another eleven
Ohhhhh
that’s why the wormhole was stuck on the day it was created. so half of the wormhole was like hawkins, half of the world was like the abyss
i’m still confused about how the mind flayer rock got to earth in the first place
USS Eldridge
It was a ship that they wanted to make invisible but instead transported them to dimension x
i’m going to pretend the entirety of stranger things was just a story that mike wrote
Brenner’s dad was part of the experiment and he was the only one who survived and his blood changed
So I’m assuming they extracted the mind flayer and the blood like solidified into that rock and Henry absorbed it
how did this not create a wormhole
Brenner’s dad told Brenner what happened in dimension x which is why Brenner was so obsessed with it and began his entire lab project
Because they hadn’t established a connection I guess. Eleven connected by touching the demogorgon
i wish el turned evil and killed everyone
I deadass thought Will had like eyeshadow or eyeliner or smth when he was playing dnd
what was that?
so who’s going to edit eleven to for good?
His eyes were so dark lmfao
They are gonna milk el’s arc forever now..
moral of the story: if your life is shit, it’s never going to get better and you should just die ig
The spin off is definitely going to be about how mike is finding el after 10 years 😭 😭
thanks duffer brothers
she didn’t die
she did. that was just made up cope by mike
he literally says it was just a theory
kali was already dead
holy. someone already did it
well i need to think its real to cope too
my cope is that none of it was real and it was just a story that mike made up
and the characters are based on real people in his life
@elder oriole
vickie, owen and susie hath disappeared
also we didn’t get enough of a reaction from hopper
eleven had way more of a reaction when she though hopper died
Where was the outrage
Where was the brawl
Where was dr Kay’s reaction
Like did the military just see her disappear and then said ok we’re done you can go
like let’s be for real… hopper never would’ve moved on
What happened to Erica and Mr Clarke in the church 😭 😭
Not even a scene of them being detained or found
They really just told them to go home 😭
the epilogue could have been an email
Ugh I have nothing else
Right
both mileven and byler are bones so we all cheered
the fight with the mind flayer was so anticlimactic
I think this episode should’ve stayed 2h and given more time to other stuff and move the epilogue into its own 30m episode
Steve’s plan ended up being the simplest and quickest one it seems 😭
the ending really is about the party growing up and all going their separate ways 🙁
also jamie deserves an emmy for his performance
I don’t like either ending tbh 😭
Let’s pretend that she is alive, I don’t like she’s alone now and separated from the party and basically has to restart and is yet again an outsider. Along with Kali being left to die alone and having to bleed out for awhile (how would she know when to make the illusion for Eleven?). Now let’s face that she’s dead, it feels like a massive character growth arc has just been thrown away and there’s gonna be a void in all their lives that can’t be thrown away
who lives who dies who tells your story but it’s mike writing the story for the world of what all his friends went through, and about el
I feel it for Mike :(
mbb literally went bald for this show, only for them to ||kill her off||
i’d be mad too
Kali’s actor did too 😭
That scene of her getting her hair shaved is her actual hair getting cut
Imagine if when the abyss was moving down they had vecnas clock ticking and chiming and we cut back forth to each kid in the trance state and then it lands on Henry and that’s when we see him get flung
Would’ve been better editing imo
I think they added the waterfall scene later on
cause apparently millie was spotted filming in iceland during the summer of 2025
Maybe they were supposed to shoot it earlier but conditions weren’t great so they waited?
I think Iceland has pretty shifty conditions
I hate the vfx and cgi this season
Probably but I think they would’ve filmed it in summer 2024 idk
the mind flayer fight scene was so 😭 😭
i miss the low budget of season 1 where they used darkness to portray scary scenes
the colouring too
like what happened to practical effects
its so bright for no reason
and not bright as in season 3
I think if there was another season it would’ve been closed better
or
if there were longer episodes
And more time to edit
The way joyce didn’t get to say anything to El
mind you she was motherly to her in season 1 and was literally her mother after the events of season 3
i’m-
What is shit
That’s what I’m saying though the weather might’ve been bad for when they needed to film it and had other shoots to do so they had to put it to the side
Steve didn't die
It’s cause of Netflix
The green screening was so bad
Right like he was on the ground wailing when the demogorgons were set on fire
But the main source of the hivemind getting hit everywhere doesn’t affect him once? 😭
he always just wanted to make her happy
about to go read some stranger things fanfiction to cope
I still haven’t recovered
listen to long live, you’re on your own kid, bigger than the whole sky, a place in this world, and the manuscript to maximize sadness
I can’t 😭
What is grief, if not love persevering?
how lucky we are to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard
Guys ST5 ended in 1989
“you’ll never leave.”
“never mind.”
😭😭😭
and the older teenagers are meeting up in pennsylvania…
Taylor Swift origin story:
💀 😭
I just finished
Why did like nobody die what
the boss fight was so cool tho
but the ending was way too long
they could’ve made the boss fight longer
why did no one question hopper being alive in the finale
JOPPER
Anyway i still think El is alive
Cuz there’s no way she could have pulled Mike into her void
With all those sonic machine thingys pointed right at her
So the prince songs are the exclusive songs we got. Purple rain and When Doves cry have only played in the Purple rain film
Soo what did we think?
She’s not unfortunately
Well then explain this
How did she look completely unphased by the sonic machines
She wasn’t there it was kali’s illusion
she was in the upside down lol
They weren’t all pointing at her.. at least from what I saw moments before she went off
yeah they were pointing at the truck
You can believe she’s alive as cope just like how Mike and the crew does, but officially she is dead
And that’s not some made up bs I’m saying the duffers themselves said it to
Hi
I still don’t get it like
Why didn’t the military arrest them
Mind u they raided the base multiple times
even a single one would’ve completely made her lose her powers
and it was clearly pointing at her
Show me where it was pointing at her??
just watch it? I’m pretty sure every single one was pointing at her
when she was standing there
I did.. and they weren’t pointing at her
Idk what you’re talking
They were pointing at the truck
Not her
well rewatch it
when she’s standing there
it was pointing at the truck when the truck came through
but it was pointing right at her when they saw her
I did.. they weren’t pointing at her if they were we would’ve noticed it
pause right when the explosion happens it’s literally pointed at her 😭
It’s not…
Idk what you’re talking about bro
So like that ending wasn’t as disappointing as some people were making it seem
I liked it
It’s just not like the other seasons endings because theres no HUGE mind bending cliff hanger
So I think that’s why people are saying it’s disappointing
Finished
Real
I just rewatched the finale, I cried.. again.
This shit not for the weak.
they did post credits
barb is the mind flayer
and she opened another wormhole
called the rightside up
and we're getting season 6
with barb as the main enemy
s6 tomorrow
double drop like ttpd
Also el said Mike will understand later
She was saying that
He’ll understand that
She faked her death and escaped somewhere far
El is still alive
- The sonic machines were pointed at her but she still used her powers to pull Mike into her void
- She wasn’t phased by the sonic at all she could move and talk and stand there normally
- Her nose didn’t bleed after pulling Mike in
- Her hand flickered like kali’s illusions do
- She didn’t have a 011 tattoo
- She told Mike “he’ll understand later” she faked her death and ran off far to protect the group from the military
- Kali faked her death in front of hopper so he wouldn’t suspect el still being alive
- How did she enter the portal without the military seeing her
I think the ending was fine
Wait so kali didnt actually die?
She died when the upside down exploded
But she faked her death earlier so el could escape using her illusion
I’m guessing they would’ve discussed it earlier
If hop knew kali was alive he might have caught on and that would put the group + el in danger
I BELIEVE
I can’t tell if you’re just a big el Stan and can’t accept the fact she actually died or if you’re trying to believe she’s alive by some miracle
there’s 8 facts right there that’s a hell of a coincidence don’t you think
if it was just 1 or 2 it would be a miracle
The sonic machines weren’t pointed at her once again
but there’s so many signs
And kali would’ve bleed out to death by the time they made it out
There’s a lot of things that must’ve happened for her to still be alive which clearly didn’t
She died dead. That’s that.
Dr Kay was after El, not the other people. And once she was believed that el was gone she dropped the program and left hawkins and didnt bother with arrests
kali might have faked herself bleeding what if she was never even hit by the glass? she clearly wanted to fake her death in front of hopper she could’ve easily faked her bleeding
also the blood mysteriously disappears when she was laying there and hop came back
I love Millie’s character as well but realism is realism and it’s that el is dead.
How fast did they climb that canyon to attack the hive
Hop killed a bunch of military
Yeah but they were after El
Talking about realism in stranger things 
Its better to leave then explain to other people outside of the program why they got arrested
Everyone in hawkins is dumb asf anyway they wouldn’t question anything
