I will say I don't think every single aspect of this finale was perfect but this show just continues to amaze me. People are so mad that they aren't killing main characters but I think people need to stop comparing this to GOT or Marvel. It is a stand alone show that can take whatever path it wants. I think the 5 week gap allowed insane fans to read WAY too many theories. I include myself in that but I still went in with an open mind.
Sadie, Caleb and Millie deliver outstanding performances in every way possible. I know it may seem like some of the conversations were unnecessary but one unique thing about this show is the sci-fi horror mixed with deep emotional relationships and character development.
I was happy to see the Russian crew be able to help the kids, I was happy to see Mike finally say he loves El and I loved all the friendships this season. Dustin and Eddie, so heartbreaking. I think there are alot of characters but that's okay. They all serve a purpose even if they don't always have alot of lines.
Regardless all that to say this episode is beautiful and rich. VFX are amazing and I loved the idea of El piggybacking into Max's mind. So cool. When she laid in Lucas's arms I lost it. Cried so much.
I will say the flash forward to two days later was jarring. I didn't mind it but I do wish they would've shown about 5-7 extra minutes of them getting out of the upside down being distraught and El waking up and telling them what happened. That's my only real critique.
Otherwise I have ZERO issues with "main" characters not dying. It's not needed. The stakes are high without it because now Hawkins is literally becoming one with the upside down... I think everyone has become way too much of a critic and also a lot of people just cannot stand that it's not going how they expected.
I love this show. Always have always will. The colors, the VFX, the music, the acting, the relationships, the 80s. It's just gold and I thoroughly enjoyed this season.
