Stranger Things season 2 finale review Where Does The STRANGER THINGS 2 Finale Leave Its Characters? Posted by Rosie Knight on October 30, 2017 Share: Twitter Facebook Google+ Reddit Email TelevisionWeb Stranger Things 2 began slower than its action packed first season, but the Duffer Brothers ramped things up with episode nine working as an almost Avengers-like team up of our disparate groups. With every character having a shōnen style hero’s journey, season two wrapped up all its threads nicely in the hour long final chapter. The series has become well known for its smart take on nostalgia: new addition Max knowingly joked that “it was a little derivative at times” when Lucas filled her in on last season’s events. The finale had a couple of really great examples of taking classic Speilbergian set pieces and repurposing them, with the Hawkins facility finally kicked out of the small town in a fantastic nod to the final moments of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Hopper found himself in a reflective room full of Demo-dogs that was very reminiscent of Jurassic Park’s iconic raptors in the kitchen scene. And this wasn’t the only nod to the famous dinosaur flick, so could this mean that Stranger Things 3 might be heading to the ’90s?

As for poor old Will, after spending a week in the Upside Down in season one he seems to have lived his last year in a state of constant terror as he balancing between two worlds, possessed by the Shadow Monster and slowly spinning out of control. Episode nine once again saw Joyce rescue her son from the brink after literally burning the monster out of him in Hopper’s cabin in the woods that looked like it was straight out of The Evil Dead. Just like his best bud, we left Will slow dancing above the Upside Down, seemingly unaware of the threat that lurks below him. One of our fave friendships of this season was the unexpected team-up between Dustin and Steve. After breaking up with Nancy, Steve made a full-on transition from fluffy-haired waste of space to full-on cute soccer mom, taking charge of the gaggle of unruly kids as they tried to battle the incoming apocalypse. Dustin and Steve’s blossoming brotherhood began after Dustin enlisted the lovelorn teen to help him catch the Babygorgon, Dart, and ended with Steve sharing his hairca
