I prefer to call it Strangler Things
I saw the twist coming about four episodes back. It was obvious that Creel's son was responsible for the deaths of his wife and daughter, and that the creepy orderly was 001. Simple extrapolation of the kid's age allowed me to figure out the orderly was simply a grown up version.
I didn't like Nancy suddenly being targeted by Vecna seemingly out of the blue. She hadn't experienced any of the symptoms his other victims had. There was no mention of her suffering from headaches, nightmares, visions etc. Although I suppose you could hand-wave it by saying it was easier for him to target Nancy when she was already in the Upside Down.
It doesn't appear that Vecna is working for the Mind Flyer; he has his own agenda. I'm glad of that, because after three seasons, we needed a fresh new Big Bad.
The Demogorgan killing the Russians was cool.
Overall, I enjoyed this more than seasons 2 and 3. Looking forward to the last two episodes.
I didn't pick up on 001 being Creels son but I did figure out he was 001 before he revealed himself. Vecna seems to have the same powers as not just eleven but also eight as well. Eight had the ability to manipulate peoples minds and even make herself invisible to others (which is how I assume she escaped the lab) so my theory is that the mind flayer may not even know Vecna is even operating in the upside down. Either that or if the upside down was created by eleven then the mind flayer would simply be an extension of Vecna. We know the upside down up until Vecna popped up have all operated under a hive mindset so it has to play out one of those two ways in my opinion.
Also these kids fought other worldly monsters and they can't handle a few bullies? WTF?
Yeah, the formula and lack of character development after several seasons now is getting old. Everyone is basically the same person they were from their 1st appearance with very little change
LMAO at the dude with the bowl cut. It’s hilarious that they try to keep the cast looking like kids.
Wow just wow my guy... they just started highschool? They still are kids. You want them portrayed as grown ass people?
The dude is 18 years old. I understand the character just started high school but a bowl cut at that age just doesn’t happen. It’s hilarious.
Same, it almost seem like a blatant rip of nightmare on elm street then he showed up hahaWhole season was giving off nightmare on elm street vibes….
Then when Robert Englund turned up it made sense….
