OMG u guys I'm literally so done with Season 5 already like what even is the point of 3 years in between seasons?! It's like they're taking forever to get to the final battle but like we all know how that ends... I mean I love nostalgic vibes and all but it's getting old, the show needs to grow up with its characters, especially Eleven, I feel like she's still a hot mess lol. And don't even get me started on Will and Robin's relationship, it's like they're trying too hard to make us care The Upside Down is so cool but world-building is key, I need more substance than just radio waves and "oh look, Vecna's got powers now" The pastiche references are getting old, can't they just find their own voice? It feels like they're phoning it in for the finale and that's a bummer 'cause I love the show but this season is giving me all the feelings of disappointment
I'm kinda disappointed in Season 5 so far . I know they've got big shoes to fill after four seasons but they're still trying to bring back that same nostalgia vibe from Season 1 and it's starting to feel stale . The cast is growing up way too fast for the show to keep up with, like Millie Bobby Brown's Eleven . It's like they're stuck in a time loop . I get that it's hard to top Season 4 but they need to add more depth and complexity to their storytelling if they wanna make this final season count . The Upside Down is still kinda weirdly defined , like what's up with Vecna's powers? And the writers need to stop relying on old references . I'm worried that this last season is gonna be a bit of a letdown
