There were some good parts that I’ll talk about, but this season and finale just let me down. The biggest let down of the finale was by far the fight scene between the kids and the Mind Flayer/Vecna. There are so many questions with this fight scene — and plotholes, because there’s no explanation. The fight scene between Vecna and Eleven was fine, but it wasn’t that good. I feel like if they had the stakes and details of the Season 4 finale I would have loved it, but instead I’m just left annoyed and sad.
