My Finale Thoughts
Thisāll have spoilers so if you havenāt seen the Stranger Things finale please scroll to the next post
Soā¦first things first, byler was not endgame (sadš). Which admittedly deep down I knew was most likely going to be the case but Iām still gonna mourn what couldāve been an amazing friends to lovers queer romance set in the 80s.
Secondly, my heart breaks for Mikeās ending. I say this because I definitely feel as that Mike is repressing his sexuality and is dealing with internalized homophobia thatās most likely been caused by his fatherās homophobia. Iāve 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 didnāt so I ended up feeling a little disappointed.
Iāve seen some people say that Will does actually have an epilogue boyfriend and others say that the epilogue boyfriend is just in Mikeās imagination. Personally I think itās the latter mostly out of future hope for byler but also I just think it makes more sense if it was just Mikeās imagination.
RIP Kali.
So did Vickie just disappear or what? Iām confused right now.
Iāll 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 Iām 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 Iām not also gonna sit here and pretend it was the greatest thing ever either.
