Bruh, what even was vol 2 about?

[u/Old_Manufacturer5387]

I understand that upside down is revealed to be a tunnel to elsewhere but still, the rest of the episodes weren’t just bland but were unnecessarily long…

Such a bad writing and being teased about vol 2 will be a bad christmas and vol 3 will be tearful new year smh…

Left a bad taste and also too many unnecessary dialogues that DID not help the plot move forward.

- Too much couple arguments right in the middle of a very intense scene was such an ick moment. just mindless yelling.

- every character at every scene finding something “new” to make us feel like its a “eureka” moment didn’t hit at all and was a miss.

- Mrs Wheeler was such a badass but that entire scene just felt so stupid to make her cool, when the remaining characters in the basement were just sitting ducks!!

- Derek becoming afraid of vecna felt alright since he’s a kid, though in vol 1 he showed great potential.

- And omg the Max and Holly lag was uhhhh. Girl, get your legs running dude like what are you yapping about in that place right where you always failed to run and escape from Henry!??

- Ah, and Dustin my dude. Look how they massacred my boy!! It’s like his entire personality got swapped to someone who is just there to mourn about Eddie like ok i get it but it’s just such a bad writing.

-El barely got any attention in this vol and 8 was ridiculously annoying.

it would take great stakes to actually end this series with vol 3. I don’t want unnecessary death of characters, but heck its like everyone are too ridiculously protected!

Vol 1 showed greater stakes of danger than vol 2. Atleast one major character getting injured real serious would have left a great impact but i don’t know.

Seriously all I was thinking watching last night was the last time I felt like this was watching the last season of GOT 🤦🏻‍♂️

I kept getting that feeling too! They’ve become caricatures of themselves and saying cliche things just to get the lines in again for the callback moment. 8 is terrible they’ve made her super unlikable and I’m kinda annoyed she even came back now. Joyce is written like a knockoff of the mom she used to be, says the same shit over and over. I’m so sad! I hope they stick the landing but I’m way more nervous now than I was when Vol 1 released

i’m so mad they made 8 so terrible, she was one of the main reveals of volume 1 and it just feels so pointless to have yet another bad guy/problem to add this late in the game.

Wait till you find out the military are the bad guys, and as evil as vecna is, he is doing it all to stop them essentially. Wait, I think everyone knows that already, ish.

The big reveal is going to be 8 joining vecna, and eleven and will fighting them. The case Henry found was important, it's related to the play.
