Stranger Things 4x9 Reaction & Review

Comments

Where's unedited?

ParsivalXP

Personally, I liked that they gave Nancy and Robin some time to shine there. that shotgun is LETHAL!! nancy stays strapped

Isaac Rivera

Spartan has more depth than people give him credit for. But, its true that he does tend to gravitate towards Alpha male characters. I think I commented in season 3 that the Billy love was unwarranted. From the moment you're a racist, you don't get good marks from me. They never explicitly said that's what Billy was. But the targeting of Lucas was a pretty clear indication, and the character was never redeemed for that. However, if were talking about the actor and not the character, then he gets 10/10 from me. Great delivery.

;)

The bullies in season one even made fun of him for being gay with out actually calling him gay. Will needs someone to help him get over Mike.

J Osceola

OMG the glazing of Billy is so annoying. The guy treated Max like shit and was a racist, yes in the end he did one good deed, guess who else did one good deed in the end? Papa unlocking the collar on Eleven, he was still a scumbag for what he did to her and those kids. For crying out loud you literally shit on Suzie in an earlier reaction and insinuate she's responsible for Billy dying. LOL

Seminole Gamer

Maybe he sees himself in Billy.....LOL

J Osceola

I can see those feelings about Max...but this season investigates why El is Not a monster and why she's different. It ends with her gaining the new skill to Heal. I think El needs to know how to Heal if she's going to be a true superhero. She needs to know how to do more than destroy and Max is a great vehicle for that.

The reason why there were earthquakes is because of all the gates opening. It was slowly becoming more and more unbalanced

Dillyn Edwards

Loved this season but imo they should’ve have killed off Max. It would’ve been extremely sad and tragic but that’s the point? They completely deflated the wave of emotions I felt when I thought she died (and it was a great fake death. I felt so heartbroken at her last moments) and then they freakin revived her. Made it feel so cheap and like they’re afraid to take a proper risk

MadeByMali

It’s cute to know that the actors for Johnathan and Nancy are together (I believe married!). They do have amazing chemistry. Makes sense ❤️ A sad ending, cannot wait to see what season 5 has in store for us. RIP Eddie. An absolute legend. Let’s hope they find a way to bring him back. There are things that they could do that would align with DnD lore. Let’s hope it comes by end of 2025 at the latest!!!

Madalyn Parker

IMO I think he could come back. He was killed by bats. And there is a character in Dungeons and Dragons that’s a vampire. And that’s how he was transformed. They could do it anything can happen 🤷🏼‍♀️

Madalyn Parker

I disagree with Vecna because he’s the main bad guy of the series. He’s supposed to be super powerful and killing him in one season weakens his character. Having completed his goal, now he’s more powerful than El and I still think El will need to give her life to kill him in S5. I agree with you though, Max will be used as some sort of vessel. However I think Vecna will have her soul and because her body isn’t completely dead like everyone else, she’ll be able to return back.

Panashe Chibanda

I think he meant ‘disco’ as another term for ‘dance’ (ie: the Snow Ball event), not the genre of the music playing.

DominaZeta

IMO they should have killed off Eddie, Max, Vecna and Steve. At minimum Max. It was so good, and I sure hope they have plans for her next season. Like being Vecna’s vessel or something. I could see Sadie pull of evil and ominous great.Or just being blind and a mess, but still have good scenes somehow

K

Um, I think I just heard Spartan refer to Every Breath You Take as disco…. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 😜

Becca

yeah its weak writing to always kill off the new character.

SuddenImpulse

This episode was so epic!! A legit 2 hour movie that had you on the edge of your seat.

Mesh

I honestly can't see a world where Max comes back as she was before all of this. Let's say she did get her soul back, she still has broken bones and is blind due to the trauma she just went through. The only way we get some sort of happy ending for Max is if they introduce time travel.

Mesh

Prior to this season a lot of fans believed Steve was going to die. It was a huge discussion/prediction on social media. Most people felt like his character arc peaked, similar to what Spartan said, and were tired of “new characters dying off straight away.” Then they did the exact same thing with Eddie which pissed even more people off while having another fakeout with Max.

Panashe Chibanda

Watching this back, wow did the writers ruin such a good moment at the end by reviving Max. I think she played her role this season and it would’ve been great motivation for the crew next season. The writers wanted to increase the stakes w/o actually killing a main character and it feels empty on rewatch.

Panashe Chibanda

I love the teamwork in the finale: all our favourites get a chance to shine and it’s glorious! Nobody could have done it alone, not even El… I think that’s the point. Also, RIP Eddie. Definitely a hero. I wish we could’ve kept him on the team for S5, but at least he got a beautifully tragic death.

DominaZeta

Yes. And did they already forget Steve’s awesome Superman beast moment when he ripped the demobat in half with his bare hands?! He’s been given plenty of shiny moments for a secondary character. I love him but I think they’re forgetting that he’s just one member in a team.

DominaZeta

Max is one of the highlights of this season for me. The actress does an amazing job. I love Eleven, but I hope she "squares up" next season because she spent all season 4 crying. Understandibly I'll admit. I also hope they do something with Will because he is pretty much useless and could be renamed Will "third will" Byers. I don't think you mentioned it, but it seems pretty clear that he is gay, and probably has feelings for Mike. That's not enough character development though, and I hope he gets some kind of arc next season

Chris C

Jason > Billy (and I don't care about Jason)

Chris C

Also, when Will falls off the bike in the first episode, he sees a shadow that does not look like the demogorgon at all, more like a weakened vecna. And Yes the clock chimes aswell....

Gabriel Carlson

Enough with Billy already he was a side character. He’s gone! And he was a piece of shit.

Jayde Natasha

Since ya’ll are finished I just gotta say the MindFlayer is controlling Vecna which has been confirmed by both the play in London they had and the duffer brothers MindFlayer > Vecna This episode gives Henrys POV but its a sham and we will likely get the actual story in season 5 which will expand/take from aspects of the ST play

big meat beast

Such an emotional rollercoaster! Max….!!! Can’t wait for Season 5! Here’s hoping Will gets his epic heroic moment!

Micah Mann

fr. billy did one good thing the whole time, and that was sacrificing himself. it sucked that he was flayed and he didn't deserve to die but besides that ONE moment before he died, he was a complete jerk! he was a bully, pretty obviously racist, he treated max so poorly all of season 2 and was mean to steve, beat his ass & played dirty by smashing a plate over his head. i don't see what spartan sees in him. edit: and argyle was definitely a real one. he got dragged into everything and he still drove them across country and helped them however he could.

Shayne O Shaughnessy

Steve and Nancy don't fit at all. They want completely different things in life. Steve wants to stay in Hawkins and start a big family. Nancy wants to leave and start a career. It was probably the worse part of season 4 and it will likely not go anywhere season 5.

Ben M

i've never seen a grown man thirst so much over another grown man the way spartan does with billy, bro is GLAZING lol

Joe Mcauley

I recently was watching a reaction to 1x1 and HEARD THE CLOCK via my headphones! I felt so stupid, lol.

Carrie Smith

Agreed! He threw the first Molotov on Vecna's body! What are they talking about??

Carrie Smith

OK, Argyle is more "gang" worthy titled than Billy! Billy was not a jerk for literally 4-5 minutes of the show, but Argyle made many contributions to the CA team this season. He saved them from the shootout, drove them to Suzie to find the NINA location, the tracks to the location itself AND the pizza place with the salt for the bath for El's mind fight.

Carrie Smith

fun fact the clock is first heard in season 1 episode 1 too!
