- The legal registrations of the last half of the episodes. That one lawyer looked at it and compared to previous seasons and it doesn’t match at all.

- The legal ‘out’ of how they technically didn’t charge anyone for the movie tickets because they were just ‘vouchers’

- The nearly no press after the finale, nearly no comments from cast, and no crew admissions even though the DNA’s should be ending and come on if the writing issues, production issues, filming issues etc really WERE as bad as they’re making it seem, you KNOW some crew member would be talking g about it by now

- It took double the length to film this season compared to any other season

- WAY higher budget for LESS content, LESS production quality?

- Both that it apparently took twice as long to write this season than the others (pointing to much more content, aligning with the budget increase and the filming time increase) AND just the fact that things they said about the writing timeline in the documentary vs everything else we’ve heard about writing timelines do NOT match up, the math DOESNT make sense- plus how the fuck would Netflix EVER let them start filming before the final script… and then EXPOSE that in a documentary?!?!?!

- The way Caleb said traitor and now that’s been scrubbed from the internet, Millie said meta and now it has too

- Steve saying he wants to live in forest hills which has only ever been the trailer park and was only nice in the NINETEEN FIFTIES

- Randy being the ONLY actor in this season to comment and he’s dismissing everything so hard so much so constantly. Going out of his way to. And in the show, his was the character that did that too

- Will references The Grail which is a movie that ends up breaking the fourth wall and it’s a documentary and they see the camera people and it all breaks down

- Still so many proofs of scenes that were cut / not shown (from max’s moms actors to the miwi CGI pics to the proof of the church filming etc) plus in late 2024 I think they claimed the 600 something hours of footage

- The amount of things that the cast said in interviews that straight up just DONT MAKE SENSE. like things that wouldn’t even make sense to lie about (like if they were just lying to hide they didn’t like the ending), lying about weirdly specific things

- For example Millie said ‘ every question she’s ever had about the show and the upside down got answered’ not only does that truly not make sense but in the actual finale it’s like they PURPOSEFULLY left SO many questions about EVERYTHING unanswered, especially the upside down.

- Caleb also gave us the word ‘Zenith’ and Zenith is a movie in which “ creates frustration and paranoia by chopping up its narrative…. It comes off as the director jerking the viewer around…. It’s an examination of the conspiracy fan psychology.” THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO US COME ON

- Script reading discrepancies- Charlie said he was in front of Noah and Finn and they both cried 20 minutes in. This does not match the footage they showed us. The white scripts versus the red scripts. Finn changing clothes mid video randomly, like they’re cutting together a bunch of unrelated footage to set a narrative.

- The duffers are answering questions in interviews more dumbly, dismissively, and vaguely than they ever have before, switching up the way they’ve always acted

- The fact that the documentary itself was just weirdly bad. The directing was weird the things they focused on were weird. The amount of time they spent on the duffers struggling with the writing and pointing out so many flaws that then never got fixed in the actual show. Why would they point out the flaws so clearly if it shows incompetence on their part unless they wanted us to notice those flaws? They focused on this more than they did on most of the major import scenes from this season too which immediately stood out to me as odd. And we think the Netflix execs, famously PERFECTIONISTIC AND ANAL, would allow ANY OF THIS, for Netflix’s BIGGEST PROJECT EVER??

- The fact that Netflix still has not made any official statement about this. In any other situation they would have. Every day they continue to not address it it feels less and less likely that this is a money making marketing ploy, because THE DOCUMENTARY IS OUT???? ALL THE STRANGER THINGS CONTENT IS OUT??? how would not addressing this make them more money besides keeping some people on the subscription a bit longer? That’s not a sufficient explanation to me. This is objectively odd behavior

- The ‘Mike wake up’ sign at the sponsored wrestling event perfectly matching the blank yellow sign in the background of the epilogue graduation (and what are the chances they’d leave something like that in the show anyway?)

- All the weird coincidences/changes/inconsistencies from the season of course- the dial color changing and them NOT changing it even though they changed Holly’s wardrobe mistake very quickly. It’s autumn leaves in the background at graduation even though it’s GRADUATION, it’s supposed to be SPRING. Will saying melvald’s milshakes, even though that’s not only obviously wrong but so specific to get wrong, something they so specifically showed us in TFS play. The vacuum at the graduation is one only sold in the 1950’s. Dustin calls the guy ‘a square’ even though that’s slang ONLY USED IN THE 50S AND WEIRD ANY OTHER TIME. All the characters specifically growing up to do things they’ve seemed they’d never want to do, like Robin wearing girly clothes and Nancy quitting her dream college and Max emulating her abusive brothers rage issues and Mike acting and dressing just like his father etc.

- The amount of parallels to movies that have said ‘this is the final one’ and then come out with MORE.

- The 11 tapes that were sent out to creators to decipher. The cursor flicker pattern decodes to ‘STILL HERE’. The audio pulse decodes to ‘VECNA LIVES’. The tape also gives hints to a timeline ‘needing to be reset’ and Eleven being missing from said timeline as an anomaly

- The fucking Morse code of the tape wall behind Robin in that one scene, spells out ‘U DID NOT STOP ME’ baby how could that possibly be a coincidence. Do you understand how low the probability of that happening is.

- The fact that all of this directly makes US Joyce Byers in season one, not being believed, looking for and holding onto obvious undeniable clues even though no one else believes us. Parallel to the fake Will Byers body

- This also makes US the children in Henry’s house in his mind. Being surrounded by an illusion and only some see how none of it is real. Trying to convince the others. Not being able to find the way out

- It also makes US Lucas- “is this all just Vecna messing with us again?” “I don’t know about you guys but I don’t believe in coincidences, not anymore”.

- The documentary ends with Finn in the light with upside down, looking particles around him, saying “something is definitely coming” which is in itself, very telling that they would end on those words and from Finn’s mouth especially, but now add to it that those words are the first ever said in the first episode of Stranger Things in season 1- “something is coming, something hungry for blood” WHAT ARE THE ODDS????

- Why the FUCK did Jimmy Fallon randomly in the middle of Maya talking look directly at the camera and say “meta” then look back and not explain it or acknowledge he did it at all. He’s in on it I swear

- Jaime saying “tomorrow it begins” and “eleven lives” on the show. No explanation of course

- The finale’s opening being a shorter length than any opening of any episode. When they cut to the epilogue it begins with NO YEAR and a heartbeat and a clock ticking. When it becomes Nov 6 earlier on, they show NOVEMBER 6 but again, no year. Before this season they have always shown the year when putting dates on the screen
