Warning: Spoilers
Releasing these episodes a month later took me out of what happened previously.

Max not dying, as others have said, was the hugest dissappointment of the show. Main characters needed to fall, and it had me a little disgruntled after the great first 7 episodes.

Eddie dying made zero sense. He didn't need to choose that moment not to run. Sometimes not running is stupid, like running into a bunch of killer bats when all he had to do was lead them away from Dustin and the gaping hole in the roof, which, they could have used at any time throughout the show anyway.

If Vecna can go into anyone's mind and do what he did to 4 teens, the guy could have just done it to all the kids, at any time. There's no reason he took so long to do this nor why he only chose four. He can do it at will, whenever he wanted. No dramas. Makes no sense.

Mike is the worst character and worst actor on this show. He always has been the worst and most unlikeable. He isn't the heart of anything, and 11 would be better off with some random at this point. He brings nothing of value. He reminds me of the most arrogant, annoying kids I knew at high school.

Will. Jesus. Apart from being a wet blanket, who cares about his sexuality. Literally no one cares about these things apart from a handful on twitter who think there should be no same sex couples in life and on the show. Twitter is not real life. Give Will a boyfriend and move on. Don't know why he'd even like Mike. There's literally people crying on the internet because he never came out and said "I like males." Just get it over with.

I'd prefer to watch a show about the Russians than anything Mike, Will, Jonathon, Argyle are up to.

But hey, let's kill Eddie, even though Eddie couldn't escape what people thought of him, he could have hid out with 11. She's being chased by worse.

And finally, Master of Puppets. Didn't find this moment powerful at all. Running up that hill wad powerful because it was remixed into the score. Instead we had metallica playing Master of Puppets. It didn't feel like Eddie was playing it at all. Could have just had the guitar playing along with the score around it to make it feel more genuine and real. Didn't need to hear hetfelds voice.

Apart from that. It was good. But didn't live up to the first 7 episodes.

Max should not have been saved.
