i for one was sobbing in the theaters over the fact that it’s actually over now. as for the actual fifth season and series finale, it left a lot to be desired ngl and i was disappointed. it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good. so much potential just wasted. at least it wasn’t horrible tho and like i said it did make me cry. one last strange adventure is finally over 😭😭😭
Everyone complaining over the finale is lowkey ungrateful af tbh like I’m personally so glad everyone was able to have their happy ending (besides El). Going through hell and back and escaping death all throughout the past four seasons just to die in the end would be disappointing ngl. Plus only losing el and not anyone else saved me from extreme emotional damage TBH
Wanting a complex gay love story is completely fine and understandable. Expecting one to come from a guy who has never been shown to have any romantic feelings at all towards other men just because he’s in a close friendship with someone who is gay is where the mental illness comes in. There’s never been a single moment where Mike’s straightness has been in question to any degree. On the other hand, Will has had hints dropped about him being gay since the first episode.
i think that byler was never going to happen and season 4 made it obvious, but the way that will’s feelings were dealt w in the last few episodes and his conversation with mike in the finale was so buns omfg. like imagine a guy and a girl having that outcome, they literally wouldn’t. imo the writers chickened out
bro didn’t watch the first season.. mike’s dad telling him “see what happens michael” after everyone suspected will’s disappearance was bc he was queer….. there’s more lmk if u wanna hear but i doubt u would actually consider any reasons why people suspected mike might be closeted
There was a plethora of subtext if you watched carefully with an open mind. For example if I told you that a guy got in an argument with his girlfriend and didn’t really care to rectify things till his friend pushed him to, but he got in argument with another girl and biked in the rain across town for her and begged for her forgiveness, you’d say that it’s very clear they have feelings for each other and their
Relationship has far more depth than the one with the first girl. The only reason why it’s even a question with the scenarios the writers put them in and the parallels and cinematography is cuz wills a boy instead of the “other girl.” Plus it’d explain a hell of a lot more about mikes character than the finale did.
the whole point of will and vecna’s conversation was to show that it was not the mind flayer manipulating henry, but rather working with him. one is not above the other, henry simply chose to act as an “avatar” of sorts for the mind flayer. they empowered each other. as henry said, they were one.
agreed, yeah it wasn’t a perfect final season at all, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy it and appreciate the good parts. feels like the last 5 ish years there’s been a shift online where people just really want to hate things and see them fail. can’t help but find it really fucking annoying that you can’t enjoy anything anymore without people making sure you know they think it’s dogshit and you suck for liking it.
would be interesting if it turned out that way. have always wished they stuck to the same horror/mystery themes throughout the show but like i said i still enjoyed what we got even with its problems. i just wish that once they knew they’d be going beyond one season, they actually sat down and came up with a fully fleshed out storyline for the show rather than doing one season at a time
