Biggest gripe first, - Demogorgon's are OP in the final scene. I mean, c'mon, that was ridiculous. Tipsy Karen with a busted wine bottle did more damage on a Demo than a base full of soldiers (shooting in a circle, mind you) with automatic guns? 20 cal and flame throwers?
This has bothered me as well; however, bladed weapons have been more effective in other instances as well (Russian prison camp).
i've made this comment numerous times.
blunt force, blades, and fire seem to be the answer.
they F'd up that one at Dipshit Derrick's house and it kept trucking.

For me, the gripes are minor. I enjoyed the first 4 episodes and am anxious to see the rest. The Will and Robin stuff doesn't really bother me at all. There are often times when I find myself saying "that's not plausible" or "that doesn't make any sense." But I am watching a show about interdimensional monsters and telekinetic children.
Is it perfect? No. Am I entertained by it? Thoroughly.
Yea I mean I am enjoying it too. It's fun TV, it's just not quite up to S1 and S4 imo. Kind of boils down to simple things that I mentioned earlier that just seem a little lazier this season like the gang having a lookout over the fence that is literally 20 feet away from the entrance to the military base
I mean that's just dumb. But whatever, I just roll my eyes a little and I'm over it, but I just really wasn't doing that in earlier seasons. We'll see where the Will and Robin "come out of the closet and be a super hero" thing goes. It's on par with what Netflix does in every show but it certainly is very dumb. Maybe they don't take it any further but we'll see.

So, I get being annoyed at gay being in every show.
However, it seems to me that the point might be believing in yourself and to stop looking for answers to your “issues” in other people. Fix your own shite. That makes you powerful.
Its a decent point if you boil it down to the basics and not focus on the vehicle of the message.

Vecna reveal which was pretty badass
If it’s true he’s not “really” the villain and it’s the mind flayer, I think you’d have to rank this up there with some of the worst final seasons of all time.
There’s no shot you’ve built up this guy torturing Max, Nancy, killing innocents, Eddie, and countless others just to be like nah he’s actually good and it’s been the mind flayer the whole time. So fricking stupid. Just let him be the final villain

PSA to Aggie fans:
Just accept your gayness and you might be able to control inter-dimensional monsters

Apparently you have to see the Stranger Things play on Broadway to get a lot of the backstory
I saw Stranger Things First Shadow this past summer. It was my first Broadway show. It was a really great show and I highly recommend it if anyone takes a trip to NYC.

They needed to make him gay before they could give him his powers because of *reasons.*
I thought he was asexual, or did that not get the Netflix execs going enough? Stranger Things is giving Dexter, SOA, & GOT a run for worst final season. True Detective Season 4 vibes.

I get it, but I also like making fun of the absurdity when it is boiled down to "gays have super powers but only when they accept it" because it's fairly obvious it was forced into a story that had no need for it.
The vehicle of the message is absurd and Will's questionable (at best) sexuality has now been shoehorned into the story as a plot device in a show where romance and sex take a major back seat to friendship, loyalty, consistency, personal growth and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. Will being a homo was fine until they used it to push the story forward. Love for his friends and family could have easily accomplished the same goal without thrusting a divisive social issue into the mix of a show that had previously steered clear of such issues for the most part.
And again it's funny to just say "Being gay = super powers in Stranger Things but only if you like it"

Gotta love the dick jokes.
Robin " I like dick"
Mike " I hope it's not to hard"
Lucas " if it is, I'll soften it".

I agree, "believe in yourself" is a good message. I don't really see that as being the message though.
Robin took note of will clearly struggling with his sexuality/attraction for Mike and that's when she decided to speak up. Her pep talk was about the first girl she liked was crazy about a straight person so it broker her heart (similar to Will). All of Will's flashbacks were memories of him and Mike. It was literally like she was helping him accept his gayness.
Maybe nothing will come of it and Will will just be a badass male version of Elle and you just kind of know as the viewer he's probably gay. Wouldn't bother me. But introducing and progressing a story about his sexuality this late in the series with literally the fate of the world on the line would be very very lame.

So, now we wait 3 weeks for the rest of the season.

Im choosing to go that way with it. Its a choice, not biological!
I complain about gay in everything all the time when my wife and I watch shows. I just want to like the show. I confess.

I kinda feel like a big theme in the the show is how kids that would have been bullied a ton back in the 80's, in reality, are really cool.
That's pretty absurd in and of itself, tbh.

I didn't come away from the episode thinking they were talking about him being gay, I just looked at it as him accepting that he's different and harnessing his power. However, now that its been brought to my attention, I can see why people had that thought. Either way, there was no over the top gayness in that scene.

So who do we think dies before the finale on NYE?
I think Jonathan dies protecting Nancy and/or Steve.

My money is on Joyce
Reasoning: They have avoided killing any of the main kids + Older youngs so far except for Eddie who was only around for 1 season and Billy who was around for 2 but really just 1 and was a villain.
Hopper is probably the most likeable / relatable character in the whole show imo, and has already had his redemption arc. He is the front line of the group. It would be too obvious to kill him off.
I think Joyce may pull a Karen Wheeler impression to save someone and finally fulfill her character arc as the ultimate momma bear of the series. Additionally, the series has leaned heavily on the powerful female. El is El, Nancy is a leader, Max has smarts and doesn't take shite, Lucas' annoying arse sister is basically whatever they need her to be at whatever time, Robin is a free spirit but also perceptive and clever.
Joyce is the momma bear. She is ultimately the last line of defense for her kids and specifically Will. What better way to pass the torch to Nancy or one of the other younger females than to sacrifice herself, allowing one of the others to save the day just like Hop thought he did in the end of S3? It would allow her to finally let her sons be their own men while making the biggest sacrifice possible to protect them one last time.
Being that they don't kill the younger long term characters in the show, and have females being the actual heroes most of the time, I vote Joyce.

I really thought they should have let the Wheelers die, especially Mr. Wheeler. Let's be honest, he's a useless character. They both took some seriously fatal wounds. letting them both live lessened the emotion of them defending the kids.
I have been convinced for a while that Steve is going to die, but given they didn't even let the Wheeler's die, I'm having doubts. If not Steve I lean a little towards Hop. He's already survived one certain death explosion, I don't think he has many lives left.

He's my favorite character in the entire series. Let it be forever known that in S5E2 when the demogorgon attacked his family, he didn't run like a bitch. He stood his ground and tried to beat the thing back with a fricking golf club.
Be better. Be like Ted.
