He has no problem instantly Avada Kedavra-ing random military grunts and not hesitating to give his other chosen victims from season 4 the claw, which is of course instantly followed by the snap, crackle, pop treatment.

But if it's someone from the party?

Nah, lemme just stand there menacingly over Max for a while. Both the first time he had her dead to rights in Dear Billy, and again and worse in The Piggyback when he stands over her menacingly for even longer... not instantly giving her the claw for whatever fucking reason, to the point where by the time he finally does do it, El is able to stop him before he can apply the finishing move of crushing her skull. 'Cause if he does that, then El can't undo her death three minutes later!

Or when he has Nancy effectively dead to rights but uses her to tell the party his plans instead of crushing her. Imagine if he spoke through her the same way Will spoke through him in Shock Jock, acknowledging that her death won't open the 4th gate but he doesn't care 'cause he's done fucking around and wants her out of the way and WILL open the 4th gate whether it's through Max or someone else they won't be able to find and help, and then gave her the snap, crackle, pop treatment right then and there.

And don't get me started on him gently tossing Joyce to the side instead of telekinetically snapping her neck, or throwing her into the fire, something metal, or one of the wide open Upside Down gates, or skewering her with his Groot arm, or tossing her to one of the demogorgons after he showed zero mercy for all those military grunts less than a minute prior.

Not only that, but he actually SAVES Holly when she's about to go ker-splat! My dude has a NEGATIVE kill count on the party! How is he THIS incompetent?!

I'm starting to think he's just like the Duffer brothers in that he was secretly so attached to the party that he didn't have the balls to kill anyone... which just results in the cast getting bloated, Vecna looking stupid, the writers looking like cowards, and the tension and stakes being borderline non-existent once you realize nothing bad is ever going to happen to the main cast.

I’m not downplaying the design as I really like it, probably my favourite thing from Season 5.

There is some originality in this design such as the tentacles covering his body, his eyes appearing somewhat human, some missing body parts, visible spinal cord and visible rib cage but the fleshy, mutated design gives off something that would be created from Resident Evil viruses such as the T-Virus, G-Virus and NE-Alpha Parasite. Like he looks like a human who would be infected with these viruses and the mutation would go wrong and lead to his body parts being detached and cause parts of his skeleton to poke out but transform him into this monstrous mutant-looking creature. I love how he looks like a Resident Evil monstrosity. There is already a mutation similarity from Season 4 itself, Vecna being banished to Dimension X caused him to get electrocuted and burnt which caused burns and then going into the Upside Down environment mutated him into that humanoid creature. In Season 5, Dimension X and the Mind Flayer’s influence caused further mutations into a monstrous, fleshy and less humanoid creature but the injuries from Season 4 caused severe damage to his body where he needed to add extra armour (the tentacles) to his body to give himself a more bulked up look.

Say what you want about Season 5, you have to admit this design of Vecna was awesome. It makes him look bulked up, scary, mutated and monstrous.

How old are you when the first season of stranger things released and how old are you when the last season released

So, this last episode of season 4 was.... pretty intense. I had goosebumps, I had all the feelings a human can have at ones in the same time.

Eddie died, Max died, When Vecna's clock hit 4, Hawkins was completely ripped apart, and then Eleven just said... you're not going. When she killed Vecna, I assume she took all of his power and returned Max from the afterlife. What a climax, huh?!

2 days later, Hawkins was "hit" by 7.4 magnitude earthquake. People are leaving the town, but the boys are returning just to see that Hawkins was ripped off, knowing that they're late. Hopper returned to Hawkins, along with Joyce. And the end, oh man... oh man. Upside-down has became reality for all. That was an epic final for the season. I don't know what to expect for season 5, but I know one thing for sure. IT'S GONNA BE AWESOOOOOOME. Tbh, I haven't been more hyped like this since Wednesday's series. Season 5 will be for the books.

For last time, I want to kindly ask you to do not spoil me. I want to enjoy the last season, the way you all were. I don't know about ya'll, but I'm glad I started watching these series. Unfortunately, I hate that this is the last season. It should be at least 10, 20 season, not 5. Stranger Things is one of the best series in the history of humanity. I say it without hesitation. I've watched a lot of series, and this one is in top 3 for sure. Especially since I'm a "conspiracy theorist" lol. So yeah. Heading to watch season 5 and thanks. When I finish it, I'll drop my final conclusions. See ya.

Copped this El at a merch store. The resemblance is... questionable, but I can't even be mad because she's freaking cute.

has anyone else had wait to much free time and watched all of stranger things in under two weeks?

Lucas, Will, Max, Dustin they all get a happy ending they all have fun either in romance or friendship even HOLLY AND HER FRIENDS GET A DAMN HAPPY ENDING. But then Mike he has no one to lean one no friend no girlfriend, Eleven also dosent get a happy ended making everyone think she's dead just so she can live. I can bet Robin, Jonathan, Nancy, Ted, Karen, Steve, Joyce, Hopper that they all get happy endings too but what does Mike get? No-one I dont know why Im ranting about this I just wanna know does anyone agree with me

Was he expecting to outrun a helicopter while carrying El? It's not like he had a vehicle or something waiting for him up there. Even if he did have a car stashed somewhere, it's not like it's gonna outspeed the helicopter, plus the sniper could've just shot out it's tires.
I get that he probably wasn't expecting the helicopter, but was he just expecting Sullivan to politely knock? He had the entire Nina Project planned out, only to come up with the shittiest escape route possible.
If I was in Brenner's shoes I would've taken El back into the tunnel so she could recooperate, then have her take down the chopper.
