I need to vent about the finale people
epilouge boyfriend is real, but thats not even what im angry about. the part im so pissed about is that they didn't even give his boyfriend LINES. they didn't kiss, they didn't hug, they had a vague and short interaction that honestly could have came from any of will's friends. if you had no knowledge of the theories going around, and you looked at that scene blind, would you think that was will's boyfriend?? fuck off.
also that boyfriend will NEVER understand will or his trauma. will needed a boyfriend that understood him and the shit hes gone through. that finn wolfhard in a skin suit guy won't.
third, the painting wasn't addressed at all. the only mention we get of it is a 5 second photo of mike's future office where its hung next to him on the wall. MIND YOU he still thinks that it was from el. it didn't "pay off" they never even talked about it.
fourth, they used will as a prop to boost mileven's relationship AGAIN. they already did that bullshit in season 4, we didn't need a repeat.
fifth, we still dont get to see mike's feelings about will's feelings for him. sure, he "feels bad" but its so vague and nothing burger. does mike just know who tammy is? does he not question that at all?
sixth, they just plain lied about deaths this season. kali dies, and vecna dies, but literally who else? you can't count el because that was a fake out.
seventh, why does mike suddenly give a shit about el again? I wouldn't have minded this if in volume 2 he was super caring for her, but they practically have no interactions in vol 2 and for some reason NOW theyre all over each other?
eighth, imagine writing so many fucking plotholes and mistakes that people thought that it was gonna be some huge fucking plot twist in the finale, just for all of them to be shitty writing over looks?
ninth, and this is a nitpick, but where the fuck is vickie in the finale? did i like, miss her death? shes quite literally robins girlfriend, I assumed she'd at least be mentioned.
maybe ill have even more shit to say later but im.just so pissed right now I cant even collect my thoughts
FUCK you stranger things and your shitty homophobic and sexist writers
