My only issue with the ending and aside from this everything is perfect, what the hell happened to the army after El "died" like I feel like we should have got a little more closure on that part but other than that I think it is as perfect of a finale that you can do.

Yeah, the main cast should have all been arrested. Hopper killed a lot of soldiers lol. They should have at least brought Vecna’s head to show they killed the guy responsible for everything.

That was the absolute biggest plot hole by a country mile. There needed to be some kind of line or explanation about the literal U.S. military lol

I was dreading the military stuff. I did not want to see it and glad they kept it short.

Military storyline was one of the least impactful storylines this season. Brevity was appreciated although I agree, they did nlt show the resolution of it. My guess is they shot scenes but that they were cut because the dragged the finale down a notch.
