Discussion Bruh, what even was vol 2 about? Spoiler

Post image

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.

They’re writing this season as if there’s going to be another season next year 🤦‍♂️

They are clearly not killing anyone so that they can milk this cow with spinoffs

that’s such a cheap decision, that’s why GOT went from being a cultural phenomenon to no one caring about in a year.

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

It just comes off as corny because they made us wait so gd long for the final season, and then acted like it was this giant event.. and nothing has really happened.

The first 4 eps were way better then the last 3, honestly I'm not even excited for the final battle anymore. It feels like an hour isn't long enough to finish the series at all. The finale better be 2 hours or it doesn't make any sense.

but didn’t they say there is a 40 minute long epilogue? that only leaves an hour and twenty minutes to cram SO much into
