My Finale Thoughts
This’ll have spoilers so if you haven’t seen the Stranger Things finale please scroll to the next post
So…first things first, byler was not endgame (sad😭). Which admittedly deep down I knew was most likely going to be the case but I’m still gonna mourn what could’ve been an amazing friends to lovers queer romance set in the 80s.
Secondly, my heart breaks for Mike’s ending. I say this because I definitely feel as that Mike is repressing his sexuality and is dealing with internalized homophobia that’s most likely been caused by his father’s homophobia. I’ve seen people seem to share this same sentiment.
Joyce definitely earned that Vecna head decapitation.
I genuinely gasped when I thought Steve was about to die but then he didn’t so I ended up feeling a little disappointed.
I’ve seen some people say that Will does actually have an epilogue boyfriend and others say that the epilogue boyfriend is just in Mike’s imagination. Personally I think it’s the latter mostly out of future hope for byler but also I just think it makes more sense if it was just Mike’s imagination.
RIP Kali.
So did Vickie just disappear or what? I’m confused right now.
I’ll be completely honest my feelings for the finale are pretty neutral. I can definitely agree with a lot of the valid criticisms about the finale and really just season 5 in general. I could definitely tell that things were very rushed and there were definitely a bunch of potholes and unanswered questions. Though I’m not going to say it was terrible because I think the finale did accomplish what it was supposed to albeit not in the best way but I’m not also gonna sit here and pretend it was the greatest thing ever either.
