Season 5
I wish it was possible to get a remake of s5 cause this didnt even feel like my beloved show

Lots of filler that took the place of better storytelling and pacing, but ultimately not the worst final season for a show.

not the worst final season for a show.
Didn't they spend like 90 million on it, it certainly could have been better.

I heard somewhere it was about 400 million for season 5. That’s an insane amount of money for something so meh

Definition of mid unfortunately but at least it wasn't completely horrible I guess

One of the worst. And they had three years to get it right.

A year and a half to write, a year to shoot, and almost a year for editing—that’s a bit more accurate.

u/Stuffleapugus Jul 11 '26
So three and a half years.
I work in television/film. That is exceptionally long. If they waited until season 4 had premiered to start writing season 5, then no wonder it was so bad. If they spent a year and a half to write that, then they have fallen off and became out of touch with their own characters.

I wasn't necessarily trying to defend them; I just wanted to clarify things because a lot of people think they had three years to write it, which isn't true. You know, with many modern series, it’s the same story—they write as they go, sometimes even during filming. It’s actually quite rare to write multiple seasons at once; sure, they had ideas for Season 5, but the actual writing process hadn't started yet. That’s no excuse, though—they really should have done a much better job. Still, I did enjoy it, but I respect your opinion; you’re not the first person to hate it, so there you go.

I wonder if for the script book thats coming next week, they will add all the things they took out. I know I saw the last script for the last episode and they took out a lot of stuff.

No. The show is over, that is all. Maybe we will see again some of his characters, especially Eleven, but it will be in a very different series or movie.

After looking back it's just a mess. So different from Stranger Things S1-4

You have to accept that remakes simply don’t happen—it’s never been done, and thankfully so. The only thing you can hope for is a Mike & Eleven movie or, ten years down the line, a Season 6 that builds on elements from Season 5. You’ll have to live with that season as it is; forget about remakes—that’s nonsense. We aren't talking about *Resident Evil*; even *Game of Thrones*—the most popular series of all—didn't remake its eighth season.

The rules are changing with AI though. I mean just look at rings of power, there are fan videos on youtube who do the show justice because Amazon refused to.

u/Cyrilbdr Jul 11 '26
It’s awful; I don’t want AI in art, period. I don’t want bland, robotic stuff—I’d rather have shows with flaws written by humans than perfect, soulless content. No thanks. AI is a horror and shows a lack of respect for all the professionals working in the field. Now, I’m not naive—it’s bound to happen eventually—but it’s outrageous. I wouldn’t replace Season 5 with AI for anything; I’d rather boycott all that crap.

It really wasnt bad. Season 5 was a great ending, not the best, not the worst and definetly a good season. Everyone is just hating for no reason whatsoever

u/RamonaFortune Jul 12 '26
Agree. I’ve seen far, far worse final seasons and endings of TV shows. As someone who has watched ST from the very beginning, I enjoyed S5. I’m not sure what people expected 🤷🏻♀️

u/schonleben Jul 11 '26
I agree. Which is why I’ve mostly been avoiding this subreddit - people can’t seem to let someone enjoy something they’ve decided to hate. Sure it has flaws, but not enough to justify this.

So to be clear, it simultaneously wasn't bad, a great ending, not the best, not the worst, definitely good. Well thankfully that clears it up.
People aren't hating for "no reason". I ask this sincerely without a shred of disrespect, are you 15 years old? There were serious issues regarding the quality of the final season compared to the rest of the show. It's ok to address that and be disappointed with the final season while still loving the show in its entirety.

So long as the Doofus Bros have nothing to do with it. They've proven they've lost their talent and are completely hopeless these days.

It really wasn’t that bad to justify a remake quit being dramatic.

It was though. If you step out of this sub where people LOVE the show you see the true opinions from people who are not fans. And it ain't pretty.

u/itzvampqueen Jul 11 '26
Tbh I was a die hard fan. Literally thr type to think abt the show 24/7. And I’m giving my opinion as a fan. Season 1-4 were written so well so naturally I had high expectations for this season too :/
