“You have to keep toying with the audience.”

That line says it all for me.

It was never about delivering satisfying endings for their characters, doing right by the story, or making sure the fans were happy in the end. It was never about uplifting freaks and outcasts, either.

I’ve already talked about how they betrayed the show’s own values, but I never expected them to openly admit that they enjoy toying with their audience.

This isn’t “we make them think everything is doomed, and then a twist happens and everyone is safe and gets a happy ending.” It’s “we make them believe in a good ending and then crush them at the very end.” That’s not subverting expectations in a meaningful way — it’s setting viewers up to expect hope from a show like Stranger Things and then mocking them for it.

It’s unbelievable how a storyteller can show such indifference towards their own characters and such blatant disrespect for the most devoted part of their fanbase.

I understand that not every story needs a happy ending. But when a show repeatedly promises one, that expectation doesn’t come from nowhere.

Stranger Things, you were truly great once. I’m not sad that you ended — I’m sad that you ended like this.

First half of Season 2 is so under appreciated for having the funniest fucking group of characters

Christa - Secretly Historia Reiss, royal-blooded bastard child of the King of the Walls, and only remaining heir to the throne of Paradis

Ymir - Secretly the Jaw Titan, a girl out of time who comes from Marley 60 years in the past, preserved for decades in Pure Titan form

Reiner - Secretly the Armored Titan, a soldier from Marley sent on a mission to act as a double agent and recover the Coordinate, who orchestrated the Fall of Shiganshina

Bertholdt - Secretly the Colossal Titan, a soldier from Marley sent on a mission to act as a double agent and recover the Coordinate, who also orchestrated the Fall of Shiganshina

Connie - Bald
