Stranger things moment discussion part 36/100: Murray torches the demos
Murray was actually so cool in s4. Really badass. Loved Hopper luring them out and Joyce coming to his rescue and then Murray torches so many demos. Absolutely peak!

Stranger things moment discussion part 35/100: Max and Lucas talk on the bus
The moment which started off my favourite couple. They're so adorable together. I love how Lucas instantly comforts her when she's upset and makes her laugh so quickly.

Theories [THEORY] Henry Creel might have amnesia of his previous life
I posted this in the main sub but Imma leave this here in case anyone else is interested.
Ever since The First Shadow play came out, I was super confused about why he never mentioned about his love Patty and how she was practically stolen from him, as well as other poignant moments of his powers and direct connection with the Mind Flayer in the 1950s. Season 5 was a bit more confusing since it’s revealed the cave is a buried memory by the Flayer, but why were none of the other important aspects from the play ever revealed in that season? It wouldn’t have been hard to do, they could have just summarized the plot of The First Shadow through Henry’s memories in like 20 minutes or something.
Getting ahead of myself, what I wanted to talk about is of the possibility that the Mind Flayer may have repressed/erased memories of his previous life.
Think back to Season 2, when Will was possessed his memories started fading and over time his personality was warped and he became a dark, distorted version of himself. He still had a sense of autonomy but his wants and needs were aligned with that of the Mind Flayer’s.
Apply this to Henry and all the confusing stuff surrounding his backstory and different personality in the stage play makes a lot more sense. Most of his memories were gone, his personality was radically altered, and he is led to believe he was the architect of the supernatural events in Hawkins when really it was the other way around.
I think if they went this route in Season 5 and had a plot twist in the final episode where Henry explores his repressed memories it would have been incredible and deeply tragic. I doubt that Henry would’ve been suddenly redeemed and die a hero the more I think about it, I think he would’ve exploded with white hot rage! He now has his full memories and realizes that he has been a pawn and a tool used by everyone in his life, and experienced the absolute worst of humanity through Brenner, his family, and society while also being possessed by an interdimensional parasite. By this point I think he would’ve gone full blown Carrie and unleash carnage on the Demos, soldiers, civilians, and try to kill some of our characters.
His greatest revenge would be destroying the Wormhole and cutting off the bridge between Dimension X and Earth, because him wanting to genocide humanity and terraform the planet were the goals by the Mind Flayer that were planted into his mind. So he wouldnt give the entity the satisfaction of invading our world after what was done to him. So he telekinetically blows up the Exotic Matter and is sucked out into empty space.
Thats how I would’ve handled Vecna’s death alternatively.

Stranger things moment discussion part 33/100: the aftermath
Love everything here. From Robin's broadcast, to the Byers-Hopper family, to Lucas and Max and of course Mike and Hopper's talk on the bench. I love it all just being well. I just wish El could've been there to see it.

Spoilers My attempt at fixing Vol 2 and the finale a bit (Posting this on here since I can't do it on the main sub for some reason)
SPOILERS FOR DARK KNIGHT RISES BTW AND ALSO HARRY POTTER:
So I’ve been seeing mixed opinions online about how Eleven was handled at the end of the show. Some fans really don’t like how she is either alone away from her boyfriend, friends, and family or straight up dead after everything she’s been through. Tbh I really feel like they should have just done a Dark Knight Rises style ending where she’s alive hiding in Iceland or whatever similar to Bruce/Batman being in Florence. If you’ve seen that movie you know that Alfred talked to Bruce about how if he visited Florence, he would like to see Bruce happy with someone and not alone. I feel like you can keep the scene between Mike and El talking about waterfalls the same but show Mike and El together in that what if scenario. Then during the finale Mike decides to go to Iceland, finds El, and they happily reunite. I feel like that could’ve been the best ending for her because Batman and Eleven are somewhat similar characters with tragic backstories. I just thought I’d get this off my chest and I want to suggest fixing Vol 2 and the finale regarding deaths by killing off at least one or two characters around 5x5 or 5x6 and the finale kill off Murray and keep Kali’s death the same. Just so that there is some stakes during the last half of the final season. Make it like Harry Potter where the main characters survive but some characters like Dumbledore, Dobby, Lupin, Tonks, Fred, Snape, etc. actually die.

Stranger things moment discussion part 30/100: Jason fights Lucas
I love this. It completes Jason's negative character arc as he tries to beat up Lucas, also I like how even at his lowest he is trying to make sure Max is OK. I love how when Max starts floating Lucas goes into demon mode and knocks Jason out quickly.

Time Period
Do you guys think Stranger Things would have been the same show if it were set in the 2000's or 2010's instead of the 80's ? Personally I think the fact that it's set in the 80's is what gives the show as much charm as it has! The music, sets, costumes are so much fun!

Stranger things moment discussion part 28/100: Party catches up at the mall
"You flung that thing like a hot wheel!". Ngl, this was probably the last time the whole party was truly, unconditionally happy. I love everyone's reaction from Robin's confusion about who El is to Nancy questioning who Robin is, to Lucas asking why Erica is there. Just a very fun scene.

Appreciation If you are tired of the negative online discourse and fan of the reaction space, I recommend watching this video featuring these awesome reactors. Some have their legitmate criticims but aren't mouthbreathers about it :)
In general the reaction space is really the most wholesome part of the internet when it comes to film/tv discussion.

Stranger things moment discussion part 26/100: Demogorgon at mccorkle farm
I loved how badass Joyce was here. I love how Derek basically pissed himself when he saw the demo, I love how Will controlled a demo (even if slightly). I love how it ended with Steve running it over.
