After a decade of supernatural terror, emotional stakes, and character-driven suspense, audiences were effectively told that the key to defeating an interdimensional monster was with a woke identity arc, which felt completely disconnected from the world the show painstakingly built.

And while this controversial coming out scene was far from the only issue critics had with the show’s ending, the ratings proved that audiences overwhelmingly felt this episode betrayed the storytelling, tone, and logic that once made Stranger Things a cultural phenomenon.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
