Summary
WhenStranger Thingspremiered in July 2016, it was clear that theNetflixseries was fun, surprising, feel-good entertainment. Thanks to the child and adult characters being given equal storylines and screen time, viewers of all ages could tune in. Now thatStranger Thingsseason 5 is coming up, everyone has thoughts on what the series finale should be like. While of course not everyone is going to agree, fans agree on one thing: they want to walk away feeling satisfied and like the characters end up where they need to be. There should beclosure for sad character deaths, to start with.
There area lot of things that need to be wrapped up inStranger Thingsseason 5and the main characters need real endings that feel right and natural. Although the fact that the episodes will be long proves that there will be enough screen time for everything, the fifth season needs to make the most of every minute so it can satisfy fans and not leave anything up in the air.
How Can Stranger Things Season 5 Make Fans Happy And Not Waste Time?
Stranger Thingsseason 5 can provide a peaceful and ultimately rewarding ending ifevery main character is given their own plotline. For example,Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin) needs a great send-off, andWill Byers (Noah Schnapp) also needs a real goodbye. While some TV shows likePrivate PracticeandArrested Developmenthave episodes that focus on a single character, that wouldn’t work forStranger Things.But as long as some screen time is devoted to Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and her friends, along with their older siblings and the adult characters, that will allow the show to tell a story that feels complete.
Stranger Thingsseason 5 needs to focus on two things: the group coming together to defeat Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) defeat and the main characters figuring out what comes next. This will allow for plenty of interesting storylines. Fans want to see different groups team up but they also hope to see the characters experiencing happiness in their personal lives after they have struggled so much. There can’t be any extra storylines that don’t have anything to do with the main focus. If there is even one lackluster plotline, that will be incredibly frustrating for the fans who have waited so long to see the fifth and final season.
EvenifStrangerThings features an apocalypse, there are still many burning questions. Will Eleven and her friends go away to college? Will some of them go to the same school and others go off on their own? Will any of the major couples stay together or will time force them to break up? Will anyone keep living in Hawkins or will the whole group decide that there are too many scary and painful memories here?
Finally,Stranger Thingsseason 5 needs to show the Upside Downeven more prominently than ever before. No time should be wasted and fans want to see if there are any other creatures that they haven’t seen yet. If the characters really can win against Vecna, then the series needs to explain what will happen to the Upside Down now. It’s unnerving to think that it could still exist and ruin new characters' lives at any moment, but that’s definitely possible.
