Stranger Things (Netflix)

I've realised just now exactly what it feels like and I'm curious if others agree.

It feels exactly like Jon snows ending and sending him back to the wall. Like after all he went through, that was it, back to the wall. Same with eleven. After all she's been through, she gets a mysterious ending that isn't happy in that even if alive she's not with her family

I don't see it the same way, GOT is a grim story, you can have those frustrating endings in that scenerio. I see Stranger Things similar to LOTR, it's meant to make you feel good.
It's like the Duffer Brothers wanted to install some chaos in the final episode for the sake of it.

But Jon snow story in particular is what I'm referring to. LOTR you say but who's story? Jon snow was done dirty the most, he suffered the most and should have got his reward at the end, but he was robbed of it. The same with eleven. Suffered the most and got robbed of her deserved ending

LOTR - nobody's story in particular, the overall arc of the film. It's awe, magic, love, friendship with a smattering of betrayal and sadness. GOT is the opposite, you expect people to get screwed over, as Jon does. I think Stranger Things is like LOTR as in should make you feel good and lighter after finishing it, and gives you faith.

I understand the Jon Snow comparison, their individual story is basically the same. I just don't think it fits with the overall arc of Stanger Things.

Bang average bordering on poor season all round I feel. Ending also seemed to miss the mark however it did have a few spatterings of something that could have been decent.
