The Mike/Will/Jonathan storyline was just plain boring. It was like they barely existed. As far as Mike and Jonathan are concerned, I could care less, but it just felt like the writers had no idea what to do with them this season. I really hope they don’t keep going down this road of Will being in love with Mike because Mike is a shitty character and Will deserves a better character arc and more character development. Also, I felt like the Jason storyline was just pointless. There were plenty of obstacles in the way of the Hawkins kids without going there. His character was awful and it didn’t enhance the storyline whatsoever.
Will said he knows what Vecna thinks, so in my opinion, Eleven should’ve died and Season 5 should’ve picked up with Will getting Vecna’d and later becoming a ‘double agent,’ siding with Vecna, and going behind his back to kill him, because his connection to the Upside Down could 100% allow him to do that.
Argyle sucks. He’s so irritating and adds basically nothing to the plot or the crew. All the other characters they added after Season 1 have been great and worked really well with the main characters, except him.
Nancy gets so much grief for how she was in the first few episodes. Like, she was a teenager in the middle of some weird supernatural phenomenon! She didn’t act any different from any teen I know. When Barb went missing she stepped up and went to the Upside Down to look for her. Nancy has consistently stood up to the bad guy in every season and been an absolute badass, yet people online call her prissy. Y’all need to recognize!
