Things I liked about Volume 2:
The gangs reactions to Will being a sorcerer
Will taking control of Vecna
Dustin's breakdown (FINALLY) and him and Steve making up
Actually learning what the upside down is!!!
Nancy and Jonathan having an actual real conversation with each other
Will coming out to his friends and family finally (my precious bb knows they love him no matter what now)
Things I didn't like in Volume 2:
Too many plot lines and characters spread out, there isnt enough time to flesh out the storylines completely and they sidelined main characters
Freaking Kali, I was so excited for her to come back but now I'm scared she is going to make El do something stupid
Speaking of El, her interactions with everyone in every scene is very...flat? Like no hug for Max????? I was waiting for that reunion and we got nothing????
The stupid military/starting a new line of special kids from Henry/El's blood storyline....too much is going on already and that was just a random thing to throw in
The kids taken by Vecna, jumping Holly and everything, like damn, they really believe a stranger over a kid they have known a few years?????
Mike's character...they've turned one of my fav main character into a background one...they've killed his character (hoping something happens in the finale that will remedy this PLEASE GOD)
Having Will come out to literally EVERYONE when it should have only been his mom, brother and the Party ONLY (like sure they said he can't have vecna use his secret to ruin the plan but come on!!! having Murray, Vickie, and Kali there???????? Like COME ON WHY IT WAS SO WEIRD FOR THEM TO BE THERE)
And honestly, can't believe im saying this, but no one died and im mad about it???? Like they hyped up this volume to make it a "Dark Christmas" but it really didnt???? Idk...I know im glad someone didnt die but at the same time...would have certainly made for higher stakes
What are your thoughts on volume 2? (I might add more later while I am still processing)
