So why did the battle against the mindflayer flop so hard.
Compare it to the mall battle in season 3. In there, there was tension, strategy, the struggle of reaching safe ground and the danger of it all.
Then you get to the much larger, supposed final boss form of the mind flayer and...and what?
They ran up a cliff, but had no trouble reaching the top? They threw bombs and shot fire at it with ease? Nobody got injured, it was rushed, there was 0 tension, and all El had to do was rip into it to get inside, with no resistance?
Kali, Will, and El should have all been together for this fight, using their powers simultaneously, actually doing well. It should have been a much longer fight.
Also, Will should have been the one to get the final blow on his abuser. Joyce is a good mother but Will deserved to take back his power. This is Will and Els show, yet they both got fucked so badly in the finale.
What even was the point of Will being given powers when he barely got to do anything at all?
What even was the point of bringing back Kali?
Where was any of the fun of the battle?
Why was such an important, finalizing battle so dull and easy?
