I had a little giggle when I saw the thumbnail because all I could think of was that interrogation scene in Bad Boys 2, and they are pressing the kid, and there was a comment stating that the child looked at least 30 years old. Stranger Things has been going on for a while, and there have been some issues since its inception until now. This has prolonged the series whether it be slow decision making on Netflix's side, deciding to cancel the show and drop it from the platform (as I remember that was a rumour once), the global pandemic, the writers strike, there were likely more things but these kids have aged up before our eyes and there are ongoing jokes that some of these kids are married, with kids and have divorced before season 5 has even come out. But there is no escaping the growth, and for the most part, who really cares? As long as they can play their parts, well, right? And with that said, and with this being the last season for Stranger Things, these kids need to get rid of Vecna and save the world once and for all.
The love for this franchise is at an all-time high, and having reviewed all the seasons prior to the upcoming season 5 recently has been an absolute blast. The reewatch and review was to see if the series holds up, and it does. In this trailer, presented to us on top of "Who Wants to Live Forever", the kids are fed up with running, fighting for their lives, saving the world from Vecna, only for him to return again and again, so this time, they want to destroy Vecna for good so they can live peacefully. Lucas is still with Max and looking after her, and it seems he is trying to protect her because [SPOILER ALERT FOR SEASON 4] she got away from Vecna in the last season, and he could quite possibly still be after her. Dustin is still mourning Eddie, who gave his life to help them. Will Byers still has a connection to Vecna, and you kind of see that at the end of the trailer. Mike looks like he is leading the charge towards Vecna. And seeing the other outer characters, such as Steve, Jonathan, Nancy, and Robin, is also great because they will all contribute to help destroy Vecna, even Luca's sister Erica. With Jim Hopper by Eleven's side, his adopted daughter and Joyce Byers also providing support, this looks like it will be an absolutely amazing send-off for a show that has come so far and has told a story, which has been a little wonky in places, but season 4 did a lot of ironing, and we are in the endgame now. New additions to the show, such as Linda Hamilton, that one-two punch the show needs for that 80s call back, so let's see who else we get and what the story is ultimately going to do. Will Eleven die? Will Mike or Will die, or die together? Will Will die trying to save Mike whilst Eleven is off doing something else? Will Hopper die (again) sacrificing his life? There are so many characters, and yes, there have been deaths over the series, but will there be any more deaths of the main characters? We all remember the first, Barbara! Shout out to Barbs. Other than being great, of course, because it has to be, right, the show? It has to have a great ending. There is no way Netflix's pride and joy will have a season 8 finale of Game of Thrones, you know? It needs to end at an all-time high. Bring on those tears! I want to clap and wipe my tears away by the end of this!
