We got Hopper and Co. out of Russia. Eleven gets her powers back in a big way. We have the revelation of who Vecna is (kind of a big plot advancement) and how he got there. We got answers on how portals were created. The kids are all back in Hawkins too.

What kind of plot movement were you looking for at this point?

I mentioned a couple of those myself, so I didn’t say there was zero. But a good bit of the stuff you mentioned was completely unnecessary (i.e. Hopper in Russia). The kids also began the season in Hawkins. So yeah spreading them out and getting them back together counts as “resolution.” But again, was it necessary? That’s kinda my point.

The Vecna stuff was good, (again) as I said earlier. I just could’ve done without his 15 minute speeches where he spells everything out methodically, that’s all.

Do y'all think it would've been better if Hop had spent the time between S3 and S4 in a coma and hidden by Dr Owens instead of the whole Russian thing?

Eddie dying was whatever for me. He was a secondary (or even tertiary)and they foreshadowed it basically the entire season.




How do you feel about J+K=S?

At this point you might be Ham Solo.

It was odd to me that they seemingly dropped it completely.


Well, remember this is a tiny pentagon top secret ops unit, and Eleven basically killed half of them.

Edit: I agree with many here that Mike is by far the worst actor. He has too many forced stutters and it just sounds fake and ruins the illusion.

And yes, Lucas’s sister is basically the Wanda Sykes of the series. Alway one note: loud, attitude, annoying, one liner queen.

I'm sure this isn't exactly breaking news, but Lucas's little sister is so annoying it's borderline distracting to the series. She kind of reminds me of Dee from "What's happening". Always hated that kid.

Exactly like that. They used her less this season than last at least.

While I was watching, I took Will’s emotions as feeling alone bc his best friend found a new best friend/girlfriend and he was a major third wheel. However, y’all’s theory is definitely possible and makes sense in todays “representation-first” culture.

Most impressive thing about Eddie is that he mastered Master of Puppets in only a couple of weeks as the album was released on March 3, 1986


lol I had to look up when the song was released when he played that. I was surprised that it fit the setting. I wasn’t aware it was released that long ago!

That's how I took it. Not just Mike even. Both Dusty and Lucas have girlfriends, so he's left out of a lot. Who knows, maybe he's just really socially awkward.. Maybe actually is a "friend of Dorothy".

I liked her in the earlier seasons. She grows more annoying the older she gets.

I don't know, ever since Mike yelled at him "it's not my fault you don't like girls" earlier and he stormed off in the rain that he's definitely gay.

I assumed Will was gay but I could also see him just feeling left out and like he lost his best friend.

I just hope they don’t make it a big thing next season. Everyone has had a crush that didn’t return those feelings, especially at that age. No need to focus on it for an entire season.

Something tells me Will will die. Mike has El, Dustin has his goofy Utah girl, Lucas has Max, Jonathan has Nancy, Steve and Robin have each other.

It's official: Will is gay



quote:

“Stranger Things” star Noah Schnapp is confirming what fans have suspected for years: His character Will is gay, and is secretly in love with his best friend, Mike.



quote:

Obviously, [Will being gay] was hinted at in Season 1: It was always kind of there, but you never really knew, is it just him growing up slower than his friends? Now that he’s gotten older, they made it a very real, obvious thing,” the actor said in a new interview with Variety.



quote:

“Now it’s 100% clear that he is gay and he does love Mike,” Schnapp continued. “But before, it was a slow arc. I think it is done so beautifully, because it’s so easy to make a character just like all of a sudden be gay.”

The “Stranger Things” star insists that the gay storyline has been especially impactful for fans of the show.

I also think Will is gay. However, even with our current culture, it doesn't seem so weird. Robin is the character whose gayness seems more out of place. Growing up in a small town in the 70s, there were quite a few folks who turned out to be gay later...like in the late 80s or 90s and usually after they'd left the small town for a big city. Sure, they were gay all along, but not out by any means. However, looking back, they were all people who you sort of wondered about.

Will is just a bad actor. I think that makes everything about his character just hit wrong.
