just binge watched the final season of strangers things and the last episode was a total mess.

fr, they really dropped the ball on that finale. still can't believe they did my boi steve dirty like that.

idk what episode you're talking about but i thought the final season was executed beautifully, no way is it a mess.

are you kidding me? that finale was perfection, set the tone for the whole series. maybe you were just expecting some cliché happy ending

what did you not like about the ending? i thought it wrapped up the storylines pretty well.

are you kidding me. that last episode was perfect. you just didn't understand it.

yeah, season 3's cliffhanger ending was brutal. also, who brings a baby in the Upside Down?

maybe the writers were just playing a little "stranger things" with your emotions.

nah, that ending was brilliant. you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

yeah idk what they were thinking with that finale, felt super rushed and i'm still salty about it...

what are you on about. The last season was incredible. you obviously have no taste.

imagine thinking the last season of stranger things wasn't a total trainwreck from start to finish.

nah, that last episode was fire. you clearly have no taste.

you're bloody kidding me, the last episode was masterclass storytelling, most people can't even see the subtext

same, season finale left me confused, but the ending almost works as a commentary on how societies gloss over tragedy, interesting critique

omg yessss the last episode was a hot mess but can we also talk about how they totally wasted the

i know, right and the ending felt so rushed and anticlimactic. such a letdown after how good the earlier seasons were.

bruh, did you not pay attention? the last episode was the perfect way to wrap up the whole series imo. what did you not like about it?

what specifically didnt you like about the last episode then?

Ah, really? What did you think was so messed up about the finale? I was pretty satisfied with how they wrapped things up.

what did you expect, a tidy bow on an 80s nostalgia fest?

what were you expecting, lol?

totally agree, the ending was such a letdown. still can't believe they dropped the ball on that one, it really had so much potential.

What did you expect from a season finale that threw SO many plot twists in at once?

i know right? the ending was so disappointing, really let the whole series down. like what even was that?? i'm still mad about it.

weren't you the one saying 'leur ladder doesnt make sense' on episode 5 and got dragged on reddit for it?

lmao what a dumb take. teh ending was fine. maybe just take a break from actually reading the

yessss finally someone said it! i was dying over here trying to wrap my head around it too - what happened to dottie, seriously?

guess that's what happens when you're trying to mind-flay a season into 8 episodes

I just watched it too and the finale was intentionally messy because that's what the entire season was building up to - the demolition of Hawkins and the fragmentation of the

i'm not even mad at the writers, i'm just disappointed in us for being still invested enough to be so salty

yeah, the finale was a trainwreck. they really dropped the ball on that one. What a disappointing end to the series.

Completely agreed - season 4 was all over the place. Didn't feel like it wrapped up all the loose ends that seasons 1-3 set up. Anyone else feel like the cast changes messed with the dynamic of the show?

Did you actually watch the whole season or just the last episode? Because the finale is meant to be the payoff for the entire arc.

yeah and that's coming from someone who voluntarily sat through 3 hours of nostalgic rehashed plotlines

i know, right? that final episode was such a letdown, they really dropped the ball on the ending.

Totally agree, the finale was a letdown. Felt like they rushed through so many storylines and left some major plot holes, what happened to Eddie's family?!

lmao yeah it was like they ran out of ideas and just threw some demogorgons in a room like "yeah

did you actually think it was gonna wrap up neatly after all the weird plot threads?

i'm reading that last episode right now and it's a masterclass. the complexity and layers are aint easy, but that's what makes it genius.

were you not entertained by the literal 5 hours of plot buildup leading directly to that exact

what did you expect, a happy ending? this is 2022, everything is a mess.

ikr, what a letdown. the whole season was a trainwreck if you ask me and they really dropped the

omg yessss i was so disappointed too, and can we talk about the fact that the finale ruined my childhood favorite 80s song for me now?

yeah, that last episode was a total trainwreck. they really dropped the ball on the ending, didn't they?

how do you figure it was a mess? thought it was a solid wrap-up myself...

nah, that last episode was fire. you're trippin

saw that plot twist coming a mile away...just like the demogorgon saw that army of teens

are you kidding me?? the finale was perfection, stop being dramatic

are you kidding me. that whole season was a masterclass in building tension and suspense. the ending was perfect.

what were you expecting? that's the whole point of a mystery show

are you kidding me? that finale was perfection.

totally agree, it was like they ran out of ideas and just threw a bunch of nonsense together.

same energy as the crypto market making a come back every summer

omg same here! i literally had to rewatch the 2nd to last episode like 5 times to process what happened and even then i'm still salty about

guess that's what happens when you're stuck in the upside down for 10 hours straight

actually, the final season was the reboot into my adulthood where i finally understand why my parents said "wait until you're older to get into this show

same here, felt like they rushed into the finale and some plot points were glossed over just because they had to wrap everything up quickly

what specific plot twist or plot thread were they expecting that didn't happen and how did they think it should've gone instead?

that last episode was a masterpiece and you're simply wrong about it.

completely agree, the finale felt rushed and the plot twists were forced. the Duffer brothers got too caught up in setting up the next season instead of giving this one a satisfying ending

yeah no kidding, i mean how do you just drop the whole mind flayer plotline like it never existed

Are you kidding me, I loved the finale!

that's what you get for watching that show, you weirdo.

i feel you, the ending was such a letdown. they really dropped the ball and left too many loose ends. still, i enjoyed the season overall - the characters carried it even when the plot fell flat.

Are you kidding me? That finale was perfection. You must have missed the entire point of the season.

Were you really expecting them to wrap up a show as open-ended as Stranger Things in one episode, after all these years?

omg i know right? the writers said "ehh you know what, we've got 3 minutes left let's just kinda end it anyway

that season was a total mess. the whole show went downhill after the first couple seasons smh.

totally agree, it was like they suddenly ran out of steam and just rushed the plot. lazy writing, tbh

yikes that season finale was a mess, wonder if hte writer's just thrown it up in the writers room like the upsidedown world

are you kidding me? that finale was perfect. not every story gets a tidy bow and i loved the ending just for that reason.

yeah, totally agree. the pacing was all over the place and the ending felt super rushed. still, i'm glad we finally got some closure on the upside down storyline.

nah that episode was fire, what are you talking about? best season yet if you ask me

are you kidding me. that final episode was THE most emotional, thought-provoking thing i've watched

Totally agree, the final episode was a letdown after such a strong season. Felt like they rushed the ending and left too many loose ends. Oh well, can't win 'em all I guess.

sounds like the writers let the demogorgon take over the script for that one

bro, that last episode was such a let down. the whole season was mid tbh, they really dropped the ball on the ending.

haha that's what happens when you let a bunch of kids run a tv show

Did you really expect any better from a show that's become more about CGI and nostalgia than actual storytelling?

yeah no kidding, its like they had a upside down approach to writing that finale

Did you actually think a show about kids saving the world from monsters would have a tidy, realistic ending?

Then why did you finish the whole season if the last episode was that bad?

yeah right, you binge watched an 8 episode season and half of it got through to the end?

what did you expect from a show that's been trending down since season 2?

are you kidding me, the finale was emotional perfection

are you kidding me? the final episode was perfect. it wrapped up the storylines exactly how it needed to.

totally agree, that last episode was such a letdown after the rest of the season. they really dropped the ball on the ending, left way too many loose ends.

what did you expect? a perfectly tied up ending to a show about a parallel dimension and psychic kids? cmon now.

yeah, i'm still trying to figure out what just happened at the end, was the show intentionally trying to confuse us or is it just a lazy way out?

what else did you expect from those duffer brothers? they couldn't even write a coherent last season of their own show.

no way that last episode was fire literally one of the best tv finales ever dont @ me

are you kidding me and that finale was perfection. the ending was satisfying and nostalgic, not a mess at all

same thing happens in my business, last client was a total weirdo

totally felt the same way! but the whole season was building up to that trainwreck, the writing just didn't match the hype

narratively, the final season was cohesive, they set out to have a dark, bleak ending and it fit the show's tone. stop expecting finales to make you feel good.

totally agree! that ending was a total letdown. they really dropped the ball on the finale and left so many loose ends. oh well, can't win 'em all i guess.

did you guys not hate that ending like everybody else, or are you just rewatching while eating a whole pizza and trying to convince yourself it was good

r you kidding me? that finale was perfection. your fave could never create an ending that satisfying

ya? whats the beef with the last episode?

i didn't see it as a mess. it was a perfectly self-contained and meaningful conclusion to the story. too many people nitpicking unnecessary plot holes and character changes. can we just appreciate the endgame for what it is?
