I never wished or wanted Stranger Things to escalate its story to a Marvel-level threat. But if they decided to do that instead of keeping it as a small-town, indie sci-fi story, they should have at least given us something like Harry Potter 7: a season that felt darker, with believable high stakes and real risks, where we truly see the characters acting as the protectors of Hawkins. I wish we could have gotten scenes like this in season 5 : a truly worthy fight and a great defeat of the villain.
