You finished Stranger Things Season 5… and something just felt wrong.
This week on A.J. Chat, we go deeper into the logic holes, dropped plotlines, and rule-breaking that made the final season of Stranger Things so frustrating — not just emotionally, but structurally.
This isn’t nitpicking. This is myth-breaking.
⚠️ Will’s powers vanish when the story needs them to
🚫 The military disappears mid-season — no fallout
💉 Eleven gets new powers… with no cost or explanation
🧠 Dr. Kay is built up, then forgotten
🪰 The hive mind rules? Totally ignored
🧛 The Upside Down feels… empty
📢 Dialogue sounds like a different (and younger) show
🧍♂️ Vecna starts monologuing like a failed TED Talk
And we haven’t even touched the nosebleed, the mind-meld with Mike, or Hopper just walking back into his job like nothing happened.
This is Part Two of our Season 5 autopsy — an episode for everyone who left the finale feeling dazed, confused, and asking:
Did Stranger Things just stop making sense?
