UNCUT: Stranger Things 4X07 Reaction

Hey Jo love your reactions! Just a bit sad that there was no sound for the speech of this episode which is one of the best parts of the show but otherwise great reaction x

In the first episode number one was in I said to my husband “I bet he’s number one” then I forgot about it haha. Them bringing everything together at then end was amazing! Mind blown!

I'm torn because I love both Nancy and Steve, and I'm not necessarily against them being together. BUT, I do feel like it's kind of doing Jonathan dirty. Jonathan and Nancy have been separated all season by things outside their control. And if it's just that they are growing apart as people, that's fine. But I would rather SEE them growing apart rather than just being TOLD they're growing apart. It feels kind of like a cheap easy way to break them up, and isn't very believable to me the way it's being portrayed. It also does kind of seem like they might be setting this up to kill Steve which would suck.

I can't hear anything in the ending either

Ugh so sorry about that, my rendered video is completely fine so I think it's vimeo not being able to cope with a long video aha, I'll re render later today though and change the link to a new one just incase

Joe

yeah the whole ending 10 minute speech I just synced up my netflix with it

It was for the whole of the speech from 1 up until the end roughly, it might be my side but not sure

How much of the episode? Sorry for that, Vimeo has been suffering with the length of this vid I think

Joe

Just me who had no sound on the actual episode for the last bit of the reaction?

I loved this season honestly, I had a few problems with it but overall I loved it. Also I'm really happy about Nancy and Steve possibly getting back together, I know some people won't like it but I always wanted them to stay together. I always thought they suited each other better, so I hope it happens and Jonathan can find someone else. Hopefully neither of them die tbh :( Thanks for the reaction, really enjoyed <3

:'( great villain though!

Joe

the level of betrayal i felt when 01 was actually a bad guy 😔

Okay, so I was kinda going between "Vecna is No.1!" and "That dude is No.1!" for a while (since he mentioned No.1 tbh...) but then when he showed El the thing in his neck I kinda started putting the pieces together. I was like "Holy shit, he is No.1 and El sends him to the Upside Down where he became Vecna!" and I was like in awe at how amazingly done it was. BUT THEN THEY REVEALED THAT HE WAS THE BOY FROM THE FLASHBACK AND MY JAW JUST DROPPED! It was SO well done! And when I rewatched the flashback scene (I watched it again with my Dad and Brother Yesterday...) I realised "Holy shit they never once actually showed the boys reaction to ANYTHING that was happening!" I love that so much! Cuz in the moment you don't really notice it because you're so absorbed in the scene and the fact that their Mum just died horribly and the Dad is trying to get them out and we see the girl crying and being scared, so you just kinda don't pay attention to the boy. But rewatching it is just amazing because you just realise how well done it was. So I was all impressed with myself for figuring out the whole No.1 is Vecna and that dude thing, but the biggest twist was just there waiting to smack me in the face! Haha I LOVE it! This episode was AMAZING! I also REALLY like that during that last bit of the fight between 001 and 011 they showed 011 as younger and didn't keep her as her older self for it. Idk, I just think it made it feel that much more terrifying, really shows just how powerful she is that she could do that so young, and also the whole her being her older self throughout the flashbacks was really confusing at times... Like, during that moment where they were at that pipe thingy where they were planning to escape through and El was all "You won't fit" my first thought was "Yeah, neither will you. You're way too big!" and it took me a minute to remember that she was actually much smaller... But yeah, this episode was just SO GOOD! It is kinda sad that one of the best (if not the ACTUAL best) episode of the show didn't have ANY Will, Mike or Jonathan though tbh... Their storyline just felt SO detached from the rest though. Like, in a much bigger way to others. Like, in S3 even though Steve, Dustin, Robin and Erica were away from the others it never really felt detached. And this Season even though Joyce, Murray and Hopper are all off (same as last Season) it doesn't feel detached. And El being literally alone for most of the Season, although it at times felt odd because I prefer scenes of characters really interacting and bouncing off each other and all that, she didn't feel detached. They were all DOING things. Whereas with Mike, Will and Jonathan this Season their storyline has just felt kinda pointless so far. Like, yeah they're looking for El and all that but it just doesn't feel connected in any way and so I kinda just lost interest... (Honestly most of the time I was just wanting to get back to the Hawkins group... Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the Joyce&Murray and the Hopper stuff, but I wasn't exactly sucked in by that. Whereas with the group in Hawkins, they were figuring shit out and so it was just really interesting. Same with El in this last episode.) I LOVED the reunion of Joyce and Hopper though. Like, when I first watched it I was just like "KISS! PLEASE! JUST KISS!" But honestly I love that they didn't. (Though they better fucking finally kiss this Season or I will sue!) It felt very real that Hopper just kinda stood there as Joyce hugged him and eventually managed to hug her back. There was just that relief and disbelief that she'd actually found him and that he was actually kinda safe now (they're still in that Prison, so I wouldn't say they're completely safe yet...) And then how he just started smiling and buried his face in her hat as it kinda sunk in that she was really there. Like, I enjoy reunion kisses when it's either not their first kiss or one hasn't just been through horrible trauma. Here it would've felt off because he was literally SO close to death just seconds ago, and he'd just been locked up in a Russian Prison for a year give or take, and he would be in too much shock to really do anything more than just about return a hug. It was just so well done because it WASN'T all that dramatic. Like, it was dramatic in it's own way, but it wasn't this big "I FOUND YOU AND NOW WE WILL FINALLY KISS!" moment. I just loved it... Also, I know I'm in the minority here, but I really did enjoy what they're doing with Steve and Nancy this season. People say it's erasing their character development or whatever, but I don't see it like that at all. I see it as they've developed as characters separately and so now they might actually be good for each other in a way they weren't before. Also, something I loved is that end of S1 Steve went back into the house to help Jonathan and Nancy against the Demogorgon. End of S3 Steve drove back to Starcourt when he realised they were all in danger and crashed right into Billy to save Nancy and everyone else (the others might've survived, though they'd be severely injured, but Nancy definitely would've died...) And then last episode Nancy dove right into the Upside Down after Steve got dragged back in to save him. Idk, I just feel like that was well done. Those other times they were showing how much Steve cares about Nancy, and then this time they were showing how much Nancy cares about Steve... Idk, I know I'm definitely in the minority, but I really enjoyed them this season. I'm just worried that they're doing this just to kill one of them off at the end of the Season... (And I'll be pissed if they do!)

I think my top 3 characters so far are Steve, Dustin and Nancy. I think Nancy or Steve needs to die this season even though i love them both. Steve's death would bring all the emotions and i'm with you on nancy. They just cant redo what they did with Max
