Why are you simping so hard for this? You’re being paid, right?
It's like if you come after LSU sports. I will destroy you. I'm invested in both and won't let you trolls try and shite on it because you're bored and love to be miserable about everything these days online. I will stuck up for my top 10 shows of all time.

I wish robin would have played smells like teen spirit at the end to signify the end of an era and the beginning of another.

Well that wouldn’t happen since smells like teen spirit came out in 1991.

Your opinion was never relevant. My top 10 shows are better than yours. Everyone I’ve spoken to in real life face to face said the same thing.

If the admins had any nuts, they would ban this alter. 420 did a better job defending Snow White than he has with Stranger Things.

This is so bizarre. Who gives a shite what someone thinks about something I like? It’s all subjective.

They don't need nuts. Just enforce the rules. An account that is 100% troll posts is a no-brainer ban.

Yep, and feasible with the timeline, since the storyline concludes in May/June 1989. That album (Doolittle) was released in April of '89.
It's those little attentions to detail that I appreciate in the show....
... which is why it bugs me that there's a can of New Coke sitting on the roof in front of the cooler in late spring 1989.

I’m convinced after reading these threads that majority of you guys would complain about the Goonies, ET, Stand by me if these movies would have come out today because they have too many plot holes or no one died.
You have said this same thing like 20 times in this thread and somehow still fail to realize how dumb of a comparison it is. It's kind of baffling. This stupid comparison is not changing anybody's mind, not sure why you keep using it.

I agree with that. My main gripe is that we are constantly bombarded in this show with situations and scenarios that are life or death, or where it's the most dangerous shite ever...yet nobody ever really dies. And I'm talking main characters...obviously people like Barb, Bob, Billy, or Eddie have died.
But when you put so much emphasis on conversations like Dustin and Steve's "if you die, we die," but then nothing happens, it sort of cheapens it for me. I mean, we see Nancy and the husband go toe to toe with a demigorgan and get slashed up, only to be completely fine a week later. Max got twisted and her bones broken by Vecna for frick's sake, and she was all good sans being in a wheelchair for a few weeks.
I guess my main gripe is not that I NEED people to die. But if you keep telling me how dangerous all of this stuff is, yet there aren't really any consequences for any of the main characters, then eventually I buy into it less and less that there is actual danger. If that makes sense.
I saw the finale in theaters with my stepdaughter (we've watched the show together for like 8 or 9 years). It was a cool experience. The finale was good enough; I thought they did a decent job of it ending things. I have some gripes about it, but ultimately I liked it.
I did think it was stupid to have the climax of the episode less than halfway through the runtime. We didn't need over an hour of epilogue. Also, it felt like the final fight could've lasted a little longer.
I do get a little annoyed when they are running around in a very clear world/planet, and they're like "let's get on those vantage points on those cliffs over there"....and then fast-forward like ten minutes and everyone is on the mountains, when that would've taken hours and hours, minimum.
Just have a quick scene of El throwing them up there or something. I was glad they didn't have some ten minute conversation between Will and Mike about how gay he is for him. I was shocked that didn't happen, and am glad it didn't.
Erica didn't die.
A little surprised Steve and Nancy didn't end up together. They seemed to have set that up decently well. Oh well.
I also was pleased that Will's little conversation with Vecna about helping them defeat the Mindflayer didn't work. For a second it looked like that's where they were heading with that. I would've been very angry had they tried to turn Vecna into a bit of a "good guy" in the end because it was the MF's fault and not his.
Dustin's speech at graduation felt sort of out of place, but I guess as a tribute to Eddie it made at least a little sense.
All in all, I feel like they stuck the landing decently well. I think S5 continually improves...it started out bad in the first batch, then rebounded to better quality in the second batch, and then the finale was solid. As for where this show ranks for me, it's nowhere near they top or anything, but I do really like it as a whole. It's a show that starts as strong as ever, then fades off, but rebounds decently well. I think if I had to rank the seasons, it would be:
1 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 5

The only Nirvana songs that were released during the timeline of the show were a cover Love Buzz by the late 60s early 70s psychedelic band Shocking Blue and the song Big Cheese. They were put out as a single before they started recording their first album Bleach. Love Buzz was the A side.
Big Cheese
It could have only been played in the epilogue and even w/Robin being at Smith for college I'm not sure she would have heard them yet. Nirvana didn't really pop off on college radio until the full album Bleach was released.

Anyone else found it funny how hopper, eleven, and the other chick didn’t get sucked into space when the wormhole opened up? We got trees and houses being sucked up into space meanwhile they’re just running through it with ease. Plot armor was strong in that scene

I agree with both of these comments.
there is no way they had time to scale those cliffs

Yeah that was ridiculous, but overall a minor gripe.

We finally finished it last night. I'll say that the epilogue was pretty emotional. I agree that the pacing was weird in the climax coming about halfway through the episode, but I do think that it was important to have that long of an epilogue for such a long-running series and to give all the characters the conclusion that they deserved.
My son was complaining about how the series pivoted to full-on heroic mode in the end with the kids all running around like superheroes in the Upside Down. I kind of agree with the criticism, but it also sort of rings true to the love story to old 80s horror that the entire series has been. There's often been that turning point where the "victims" in horror and games become suddenly competent and heroic. The Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors where they all get powers and become basically dream superheroes comes to mind.

That bothered me and I commented on it as well when it happened.
