Netflix has really lost the plot if they think a theatrical preview for Tales From 85 is a good idea. I suppose there will be some interest, but it will mostly go unseen in theaters.
I fear they've massively misunderstood not only why people were willing to watch the finale in theaters, as it was expected to be a massive and wholly satisfying conclusion to what was once a highly respected show, but also people's reactions to that finale.
People were not upset the show was over.
People did not come up with conformitygate out of a need to cope with the show being over.
People did not think the show was so great they desperately wanted it to continue.
People were pissed with how it ended.
People were disappointed by the lack of monsters in the Abyss, along with the Abyss itself appearing as a featureless bad green screen effect.
People were confused by the plot holes and plot lines ending without any explanation or resolution.
People were angry that the final battle was a total curb stomp by the heroes, making Vecna and the Mindflayer look like weaklings and the Party, a motley crew of untrained normals, look like superheroes.
People felt betrayed that not only Will's feelings had to go completely unspoken (no, alluding to a vague crush doesn't count), but that El had to go through another ambiguous death, just as she did in season 1.
So, no, Netflix, people aren't frothing at the mouth for more Stranger Things. They just felt like what they got as a final serving was total bullshit. Confortmitygate came about because that finale being fake made a lot more sense to many of us than it being how the show actually ended.
Tales From 85 is not an answer for that. It's little more than an attempt by Netflix to squeeze as much money as it can from the property.
