[erika92]

I just think it’s the most poignant ending

[miwa201]

hell no, eleven is the only character who should get a happy ending lmao everyone else can die idc

"She has 0 chemistry with finn lol."

NONE! And I think that this is a Finn problem because he had no chemistry with his love interest in Ghostbusters either, while Millie has chemistry with her Enola Holmes' love interest.

[erika92]

Yeah I don’t think he’s a good actor tbh

[ferfi]

I though he was great in the first 2 seasons, but something has happened as he’s aged where I feel like he’s one of the kids who starts off really good as a child actor and never progresses/grows.

[winegums]

he doesn't have the range Millie does (tbh none of them do) but the last couple of seasons also didn't give him as much to work with/kind of sidelined Mike, which is a side effect of the show now having too many new characters and only 8-9 episodes (even expanded ones) to fit them all in. ik Steve is popular but Stranger Things for me is not the Steve Show, I hope season 5 does a better job with remembering that.

[spiral_mystik]

I don't know if it's a fair point because I thought that he wasn't any better in that Ghostbusters movie. Little Mackenna Grace was marginally better (she really carried this movie).
So maybe he's very unlucky with projects that don't give him good material, but it also can't be the writers' fault all the time.

idk if it's lack of range or typecasting or both but his Ghostbusters character was basically a variant of post-ST2 Mike Wheeler.

I'm reluctant to write off any of the younger cast, they still outclass pretty much every other child cast I've ever seen in a thing by miles, even at their current stage (compare them to the Harry Potter kids at the same age, given that that's the last big pop culture thing centred on kids before Stranger Things came along, and it's no contest). And seeing what they can do once they're given more to work with -e.g. Caleb McLaughlin and Sadie Sink this season - I still think they've all got it, though Millie is still the standout in terms of what she's pulled off outside of ST, but writing teen characters whose primary trait is "awkward" doesn't make for very compelling viewing.

Eh. I think that an actor can play similar roles and still a) actually do a good job at it and b) show nuance between the roles.
He does neither. Maybe he'll be great in the next Stranger Things season or in another project but as for now, he's a weak actor imo

[ferfi]

Mike has definitely been sidelined and it doesn’t help that he’s been saddled being the love interest to 2 characters now either.

I hope the Duffers just focus on finishing the story without all the fan service. Mike’s one of my fave characters and while he was always going to be the support for Eleven, I would like to see him be more than that.

I could also do with less Steve/Dustin buddy-comedy antics. They are better in smaller doses and I actually found Dustin grating this season.

[winegums]

I say enough with the Steve stuff in general, he had a great arc and Joe Keery is super likeable but it's run its course. Now they're spinning their wheels and going for a love triangle, which is boring.

And I found Dustin's best scenes this season were with his own friends, the same-age ones that is - I hope next season follows through on the promise to reunite the Party, because it reminded me what good chemistry they have which you aren't getting to see if he spends half the season off with Steve.

(also ia with calling when on the fanservice and letting Mike actually have something to do other than being a love interest, don't get me wrong I think they're charming and age-appropriate and I like seeing a young couple onscreen who can argue without doing some Mr Darcy 'insult the girl you like' shit but I miss when he was plotting and doing well-meaning scheming left and right, the plotlines in four different locations really had a lot of characters just not having much to do)

[spiral_mystik]

Exactly. He did great in the first two Stranger Things seasons and IT Chap 1. Then he grew older and I have yet to be impressed ever since.
