@alexandra_americana YES, I completely agree!! Seeing how every season they utilize el in such a big way and in this season it feels like they just put her in a box, and seeing her and hopper have the argument that they've has since season 2 is tiring, why not just give them new plots!! Eleven has so much potential to be more and do more, but it feels like a lot of the time she was just treated like a love interest and now that they aren't really moving forward with mileven they don't know what to do with her. UGH AND YES THE ELMAX REUNION WAS SO DISAPPOINTING, like wdym they didn't have an emotional reunion after everything, i feel like they understood eachother in a way that nobody else did and its so sad to see them throw that away. The duffers just keep completely missing with their characters *cough* mike *cough* and it's so disappointing to see. I feel like vol.1 had SO much potential, for example Robin's speech was so beautiful and made others feel so seen but then going to vol.2 and seeing how they did wills coming out scene was just disappointing. It could've been so empowering but instead
they forcefully made him come out, other than his coming out scene i think theyve been doing wills character a lot of justice and it was so cool seeing him grow throughout the show. I started watching and loving this show since I was 7 and the characters are what really makes this show, it's really sad to see the choices the duffers have made but I really want to have hope that they'll be able to turn it around in the last episode!! Especially since they've been doing good for some characters like Holly and Dustin, their plots feel really well written i just hope others get the writing they deserve as well
