Wouldn't it be nice if the finale stopped here?

After staying up until 2 o'clock last night, facing Joyce's departure with Will, Jonathan and Ele, and the sheriff's death (doubtful), I couldn't help crying. After calming down later, I thought, this summer, these children have had a sweet and sour love, maintained an irreplaceable friendship, experienced a life-and-death struggle with a big monster, not to mention ice cream, fireworks, The playground and the top of the mountain on a summer night are enough to remember a lifetime of unforgettable memories.

Some people said that Billy's whitewashing was abrupt, but when I saw Ele walk into his memories, and saw how happy he was with his mother when he was a child, I started to feel sad compared to him when he grew up. The pain of childhood will follow people for a lifetime, and Billy may have been compensating himself with various behaviors in the second season when he grew up. It may also be because of the lack of maternal love in childhood that he especially likes young women and mature women (such as Mick's mother) when he grows up.

In the second season, Billy was almost the character I hated the most, and even when I started watching the third season, I complained to my friends that Billy would definitely kill himself this season. But I really didn't expect Billy's death to end like this. It's a cliché, but the theme of "love" has been a running theme of Stranger Things since its first season. If there is no love, Joyce can't bring his young son back, and if there is no love, the sheriff can't raise Ele alone. In this drama, I really feel that the scope of "love" is too large, and the definition of love is getting deeper and deeper.

Speaking of Joyce and the Sheriff, this pair really breaks my heart. At the end of the second season, they were smoking together outside the school gym, and I already felt that the writers were going to start writing their relationship, but just when I thought the third season would officially usher in their relationship (at least get out of the way). When the relationship was established, I didn't expect the sheriff to sacrifice himself at the end. I really hate this CP fan. Sheriff can be said to be my favorite character for all three seasons, so after watching the last credits egg, I really think he is not dead, and the fourth season will definitely come out! Must have gone to the world! !

If the newly added characters in the second season made me still a little dissatisfied at the beginning, I think the new characters in the third season played well at least. But I really can't see that Robin is actually the daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman... If I want to talk about the shortcomings, maybe I still don't like the part of Toothless singing when I decrypt the code, That part I felt slowed down the pace, so I had to fast forward.

And when the Russian guy appeared in the first episode, I had a vague feeling that something wasn't right. It's not that foreign forces can't infiltrate, it's just that every time the Russians are really a little tired of aesthetics. And in this season, the fighting power of the Russian guy is not good, except for the killer whose style is like Terminator, considering the background of the times, I think maybe it is also a tribute to Schwarzenegger?

As for this season's big boss monsters, it was really shocking to see a bunch of bloody and walking monsters at first, but it became really ugly when they grew up. And the way the monster enters the human body is really similar to the face-hugging bug in "Alien". From this perspective, the design of the face-hugging bug is really a genius. But the human-shaped white monster that appeared in the easter egg at the end, I think I like it better.

Having said so much, I just want to express that I really love this show, these children, and the town of Hawkins. I hope that the finale of the fourth quarter next year will not disappoint everyone.

Finally, let me shout again, Will is cute! ! ! Mom loves you! ! !
