Her point of view on eleven and saying that she is cold for not forgiving papa, was interesting. I didn’t see it that way at all. I saw it as her not allowing him to manipulate and abuse her anymore. The victim doesn’t need to forgive the abuser. I saw it as her taking her power back for herself

Sadie and Joseph were definitely the stars this season. Caleb’s performance was great as always too.

As a child of emotionally abusive parents, Eleven NOT forgiving Brenner wasn't cold Millie, it was powerful. An abuser who never accepts accountability does not deserve your absolution.

Modine and millie’s relationship is absolutely precious. You can tell he’s so proud and amazed by her. It’s clear he remembers when she was just a wee little girl acting opposite him and now she is such a strong talent and beautiful young woman. It’s so sweet to see him tear up a bit over the whole thing.

I want to know what Caleb and Sadie say about their scenes in episode 9. They both made my heart wrench so badly! I need more of them.

Sadie sink deserves an award for her outstanding performance. The Dear Billy episode was insane, i felt mixed emotions in that scene where she's escaping in that mind lair, i was so scared, emotional, and pressured. Also, max's scene with lucas. I haven't cry that much in a show in my entire life. i cried my eyes out definitely. She deserves an award her perdormance this season was INCREDIBLE

“His whole basketball team is dead” - 💀💀💀 Finn is too funny

Aw man, you just want to give Matthew Modine a hug. You can tell just how much he's loved being a part of this show and how much it hurts him that his part in it is over.

Joe Q walking off with the guitar is the best thing ever.

*Sadie and Joseph in the thumbnail* My heart: 💔

I feel that El’s last conversation with Papa was so powerful. Personally, as an abuse victim, I was really pleased to see a scene when a dying person isn’t granted anything just because they are dying. I do think that in her time (or possibly already) El will forgive Papa but just because you forgive someone doesn’t mean you have to understand why they did what they did. I don’t believe that El and Papa’s relationship was healthy in the slightest and I do think that it’s her relationship with Hopper that is more important to her development as a person. I feel that Papa just saw her as a vessel for these powers, that she was just another number - but because of One she was the only number he had left. Hopper saw her as a daughter and as a person, he taught her how to be a real person in the real world and how to live life without him one day - which is the real task of a parent.

Joe Quinn has to be the breakout star of this season, only because we've already seen sadie do some great work. Eddie is so unlike Joe, so it's awesome to see an actor transform like that

I need Sadie and Caleb to do a romantic dramedy ASAP cause their chemistry is so natural, effortless, and pure

Yeeeess! I hope we get to see them react to clips again! (and of course you guys put Joseph Quinn and Sadie Sink in the thumbnail 😭)

Joseph Quinn gets up, casually takes the guitar and walks away. Iconic.

i feel like this should be a wake-up call on Hollywood as a whole, that things should be finished entirely in the writing department before anything else starts rolling because I feel like this season was the most well-written and flawless performance I have seen in this show. It was because they had more time to prep than they usually do. please next season does what you did this season and have more time on writing and storyboarding before jumping into shooting because the final season is typically the season that people remember and if you do what Game of thrones did or dexter or loss it's going to be disappointing.

Theory: Max will be blind but still able to “see” the world of the upside down due to Vecna nearly taking her eyes.

Poor Joseph wanted to be in season 5 so bad I feel sorry for him. In another interview he said he thought if he worked hard enough then they wouldn’t kill him off but it didn’t work. I feel like the Eddie death was so predictable it made me so angry. It would’ve been more unexpected to go for a main cast member. Eddie was more interesting than some of the other characters anyway

I love how Finn really gets nervous and embarrassed when he has to talk about love, exactly like Mike! It's cute! 😅😂

I hope Joseph knows that he did an amazing job, it’s incredible how a new character could get all this immediate love and care, and it was all thanks to his flawless acting, and what makes it even better is knowing that he also did improvisation in some parts that are some of the best moments. He understood Eddie completely. So sad that he left too soon, he had so much potential so it’s a shame that his story ended that way, I also think that it could’ve been handled better but oh well.. I hope Eddie is back in season 5 at least in some type of flashbacks like Dacre, and I’m also really excited to see the new projects Joseph will be in!!!

I CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE OF JOSEPH HE’S SO CUTE AND FUNNY

The duffers : “so Lucas is fighting right then after max dies by vec-“ Gaten : “that’s dumb” 😒 The duffers: ……… Gaten: ……. The duffers: er, uhm then eleven saves her ? 😅 Gaten: “that’s what I thought you said”

Not them saying "I wish Eddie was still around for season 5." Bruh, y'all write the script, bring him back for us!!!

When millie said "oh well he deserved it" I busted out laughing all the actors are so funny!

This season had such good acting, especially Sadie Sink. The casting for this show is on point!

I would love if Netflix would start posting actual behind scenes footage and commentary content like DVDs and Blu-ray use to have on to Netflix. I can guarantee that the Making of Stranger Things, BTS footage, commentary, and bloopers would also generate millions of hours of veiws on Netflix with popular shows like Stranger Things. Watch party's with the cast and fans would also be dope. Kind of like this video but with full episodes and reactions from the cast.

Felicia: “I wouldn’t notice if you just walked off with it” Joseph: *walks away after stealing the guitar* Felicia: “security” Me: …lies…

1:26 The Duffer Brothers 16:40 Finn Wolfhard, Priah Ferguson, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb Mclaughlin and Sadie Sink 30:41 Millie Bobby Brown and Matthew Modine 39:31 Joe Keery, Joseph Queen and Maya Hawke 47:08 Shawn Levy 51:26 The Duffer Brothers

I want Max alive in season 5, she was so great in S4, she nailed it!!!!

I love Robert Englund knowing his worth and yet still expressing his own interest to be in the show by auditioning. Icon and still classy. 🖤

I was extremely emotional when Max had admitted her feelings towards Billy and even if she did miss him her real guilt was the fact that she wanted him dead at some point, that scene felt so real and genuine because of the relationship they had with eachother. It would be a miracle if Max came back to normal but seeing the way her limbs twisted and how she went blind it would seem so unrealistic no matter how heartbroken we'd all be if she died, it's definitely going to be a plot hole that they need to think about

Papa being jealous of Hopper is something I didn't know I needed until now🤣

Sadie genuinely deserves an award for her performance this season!!

millie saying “bye Felicia” made me lol-she knew what she said

Gaten's response to the Eddie question is so unbelievably intelligent. Really shows that he has gotten to know his character and all the nuances he has with the other characters super well. Really respectable and admirable.

I'm glad that Netflix is producing these after-shows and releasing behind the scenes content. It reminds me of the days before streaming when there were lots of cool bonus features on DVDs!

The way Joe casually walked towards the guitar and stole it... i cant with him 😂

Matthew Modine made me cry with his death like nothing else did in this show, and I didn't even feel sympathy for him. But man, what a transformative performance

when gaten was talking about what he wants to see for dustin i realized that all his characters innocence is gone now. like they can’t move forward with an innocent, lighthearted dustin after what he’s seen. now i gotta mourn that too 😭😭

I hope there's more Steve and Dustin next season. That's the dynamic I'm most excited about.

I really hope Jamie is there too 🥰🥰 Want to see him interact with the other cast members. He's giving all the interviews alone.

I love how everybody’s confused/quiet when Joseph said to go get the guitar I love him 46:55 He’s so precious!!! 🥺

Gotta applaud Sadie’s commitment to her role! I can’t believe she really broke all her limbs just for that one scene!!!

I will literally sell my kidney for Eddie Munson to be in season 5.

"I didn't runaway this time right" ohh eddie RIP

The minute Finn mentioned "the end of the show" about 29:00 I instantly thought "damn, this is gonna feel to me like Harry Potter felt back in the day" and than he mentions Harry Potter, I was like "OHHH! Yah, buddy! We're on the same page!", and it's kinda strange because Harry Potter was a part of my childhood and my teenager years. Now I'm full grown up, halfway through college, and this is my show. Guess we, the fans, all kinda feel connected to this magnificent show in such an special emotional way - a way which is rare, and you don't feel it anywhere, just in those special universes of fantasy that are really that great.

Honestly I don’t care how, but Eddie NEEDS to come back

I'm already ready for season 5 😩

I really hope they bring Eddie back Joseph Quinn you melted everyone’s heart in stranger things so I’m gonna say BRING EDDIE BACKKKK!! Edit : I also really hope max is better and they don’t just kill her off.

I actually loved Papa's death scene. We can see how Eleven is both hurting so much because she's losing Papa (someone that, yeah, she has grown to love because he raised her and cared for her for so long) but also she's remembering all of the abuse that he put her through, especially minutes ago when they fight and he drugs her and puts the collar on her. I think El was so hurt by his final actions that she was unable to forgive him. My god, like she was willing to kill him to finally free herself from him. Also, I don't think El understood what he meant by always doing everything to protect her since obviously he was also looking for Henry and using her for her power, plus killing mama and all. I think the Duffers got it right by ending it that way. It's pretty unforgivable what Papa did. However, I do think that Eleven will come to terms with their relationship in s5. I personally felt like Eleven related to Max's struggle when she talks about not doing anything to save Billy because she didn't know if he deserved to be saved. I think El did the same thing as Max. Stood there as he died because she couldn't let go of the feeling that he was a bad person and she was better off without him. Plus, I think Mathew is wrong about the incident with the cat as we can see that he punishes Eleven for refusing to hurt it. He was not a good person, but I do believe that he did love Eleven in a weird and twisted way, and she loved him back.

"I wish he was still around for season 5" My Duffer Brothers in Christ, YALL CAN JUST WRITE HIM IN. YOU MADE THE CHARACTER

Incredibly hyped to see Millie,finn,Noah,Sadie,Gaten and Caleb all together 🔥

Watching Finn's reactions to his own performance, you can see, he's watching it from a fan's perspective... They all were emotional. Regardless of everything that transpired from problems behind the scenes, the pandemic that halted filming, they all care about the characters they play, and how much they put into it. Shows how truly talented they are.

I love Millie’s and Modines relationship they are so cute and their “daughter father” relationship is so cute and that scene was really heartfelt and I just love it

Dr. Brenner WAS cruel. Who in their right mind would put shock collars on literal children? He literally kidnapped kids and treated them like machines that would do his bidding. He had no qualms about electroshocking El's mom. And, if the 'Suspicious Minds' novel is considered canon, he pulled strings to make sure El's real father got sent to Vietnam. He is a cruel man who only cared about fulfilling his objective. He never truly cared about El or the other kids. And I'm glad El recognized that when he was still trying to manipulate her even at the end of his life.

i feel like mille has a connection with the man who plays brenner and bc of that and because he shows sympathy towards brenner and is justifying the things he did to eleven, she does too. i wouldn’t usually disagree with an actor expressing their characters deeper feelings bc they obviously have this connection with their character if they’re playing them. but saying eleven craves the connection she had with brenner vs hopper was weird. eleven was afraid of and ran from brenner, and she referred to hopper as her dad. when she saw brenner again after all these years she ran, when hopper came back she broke down crying. she said hopper protected her, took care of her, gave her love and support, which are things you get from your dad, then said they had a “friendship” ? and it’s weird that she would call elevens reaction to his death cold. brenner wasn’t even apologizing to her, he was trying to justify his actions and have her say he was right, he had his reasons for why he did what he did, and eleven didn’t give him a pass. i don’t think her as a twelve year old left to learn how to be an independent woman? i feel like millie was answering to be sensitive towards him bc he got upset when they brought up hopper, which is weird that he doesn’t seem to separate them from their characters …

Not sure if anyone caught this, but Millie said “bye Felicia” at the end of her segment and you can tell by the pause right before it that that was totally intentional😭🤣

Joseph should've flipped the camera the bird grabbed that guitar and ran like hell outta there.

Is anyone else gonna talk about how cute Millie and Matthew are they have such a special bond you can tell they both really care about each other and love each other 🥲

I don’t think it’s coldness from Eleven. I think it’s more of a resolve to not see more in their relationship than what is actually there. “Oh but he doesn’t mean it.” “He really does love me…in his way.” She’s not giving him the option to sugarcoat his abuse. That it wasn’t more complex than that, despite what either chose to think or fool themselves into thinking. The minute she has her powers back at 100%, suddenly she shouldn’t go. She needs to stay with him. He had her under his control again and his abusive nature wouldn’t allow for her to be a full person with the right to stay or go.

i need to see Caleb react to THAT scene cuz it was just beautiful😭😭 and im here for Priah and Sadie content too!!!

The duffers say they had extra time to write this script so there weren't any mistakes yet they made a mistake with will's birthday😭

Joseph taking the guitar is gold. The interview of millie and Matthew is so nice. The other guy drinks too much coffee and eats too much donuts I love this whole interview.

Now this kinda starting to become a trend in stranger things: Whenever a guy asks for a date, just immediately smt really bad happens to one of them. Like in season 3 hop asked joyce for a date, and he gets taken by Russians and they don’t meet until season 4. Whereas this season Lucas asks max out on a date and max gets clinically killed by vecna. So beware: A date night in stranger things can turn out for the worse 🚨

Imma tell y’all this . Please please do not rush this last season . We don’t want another show have a crappy ending like Game of Thrones . Finish Strong !!

“I have this theory that Eddie will become Kas, the vampire,” it reads. “(He is another creature of D&D.) Kas is the right-hand man to Vecna and eventually turns on Vecna and defeats him. Kas has a significant weapon, his sword, as well as [a] shield with spikes on it (just like Eddie's trash can shield with nails in it)." In D&D canon, Kas is a vampire and Vecna’s top lieutenant. He wielded the Sword of Kas, a sentient black longsword that convinced Kas to betray Vecna in an attempt to usurp his power. Their explosive battle led to Vecna losing his eye and hand. In the Hellfire Club’s D&D campaign from Stranger Things Season 4 Episode 1, “The Cult of Vecna,” these details match up. The D&D group is at a meeting of cultists when this happens: “There is one you do not recognize, his skin shriveled, desiccated - and something else,” Eddie narrates as Dungeon Master. “He is not only missing his left arm... but his left eye!” Everyone at the table freaks out, having thought Vecna was dead. “He was killed by Kas!” Mike shrieks in disbelief. If this theory is correct, then that’s some excellent foreshadowing. THE EVIDENCE - For the record, we don’t actually get a close look at Eddie’s wounds. He just goes slack in Dustin’s arms, we cut to Lucas and Max as the sad music plays, and then we jump ahead two days. This already creates some plot holes: Dustin, Steve, Nancy, and Robin were all still in the Upside Down when the action wrapped up. How did Dustin make it back to the real world with his busted ankle? What exactly happened to Eddie’s body (Taken from reddit)

How is no one talking about Mathew Modine and how sweet he is with Millie, I almost cried it was so cute

cast: loves eddie crew: loves eddie joe: does a great job at playing eddie litterally everyone: loves eddie duffer brothers: yeah that aint happening

The Duffer's final statement at end about everyone being where they were in season 1 makes me think they time travel back to day Will taken, but Will never returns. Whether it is the cause or the effect of destroying the upside down is still in question. Remember the upside down is stuck in time on that day and Vecna states time is just an arbitrary rule made up in the world.

I have watched so many interviews with directors, producers, and actors and it’s like everyone involved in this show is so relatable and just give realistic answers. Most other interviews almost leave everything as a secret..as if they beat around each and every question and it makes no sense. I get so much out of their interviews! Love it.

I want to see Lucas read the letter Max wrote him when she knew she was next. I want her to tell him she loves him. And I want him to save her.

Seeing Millie & Matthews real-life relationship is honestly, so freaking cute! Makes the scenes even more special.

despite the character Matthew plays, there’s such a warmth to him. I love him

I thought everyone brought the A game with acting in this season especially, but for me one of the best performances in season 4 was Lucas, and it was the scene in the attic where Lucas was watching over Max while she lured Vecna into his meditative state. The fight between Lucas and Jason was stressful and satisfying at the same time. It was performed and filmed so perfectly, even the sound was on point. From the moment that Lucas can see Max hovering in the air as Jason is choking him against the wall up until the moment he's holding her in his arms as she's dying, my husband and I were just soaked in tears. I had been waiting all season to see more of Lucas, and the wait was really worth it. I really look forward to seeing more of him in season 5, but I'd also love to see him take on more rolls in other interesting projects in the near future. All the kids are great though. It really seems like the stars aligned for Stranger Thing's when they set the cast.

I’m kinda mad that they didn’t show Max’s or Eddie’s full death scenes! Not that I didn’t like Mikes monologue scene but I’d rather them react to the death scenes because their acting was fantastic and I wanted to see their reactions!

I just want to see more Sadie and Caleb content 😍

"we fell in love with eddie, we fell in love with joe" ok so they decided to KILL my love

Eddie became my favorite so fast. Being a nerdy metalhead myself, just latched onto him quickly. And Ride The Lightning by Metallica was my first album I ever owned, so him playing Metallica just put a big smile on my face.

The actor who plays Papa is such a gentle spirit.😊

Sadie is not trying to be perfect, perfect is trying to be Sadie Sink

How lit would it be if Vecna brought Eddie back and made him his ally only for Eddie to betray him 🙏😌

Joe Keery definitely saw the Scooby Doo memes.

I'm the black guy standing up with the headband on at 13:58 (top left). I feel so honored to be a part of Stranger Things! Blessings!

Will’s character arc felt super “light” in this season 😂

Absolutely love Matthew and Millie's relationship:( its so wholesome

These kids are some of the best actors we have right now, so proud of them and the performances they gave.

I freakin DIED When Joseph just stood up walked over and took the guitar and walked out of view with no hesitation💀😭

Joseph Quinn as Eddie stole my heart and the show this season 😩💔

Matthew Modine was so funny (as expected of Pvt/Lt. Joker), his chemistry with Millie is so good. He really is the complete opposite of his character, so chill and easygoing.

I love the fact that Maya Hawke is basically just Robin irl. I love her character so much!

Millie is so far beyond her years. I hope she forever stays humble and intelligent and hard working as she is.. I am older than her and I feel like she is more mature than me😂

everybody is talking about season 5 and the fights with vecna and all, but i just wanna see the fight of el and angela again because el has her powers back

Aww the way ! Papa and El is so emotional and close with eachother in real life too! ❤️

Watching the dead pan face of Finn when they watched the speech from Mike is hilarious

You can tell by Finns reaction to watching the scene where he tells 11 he loves her, he had never watched the lines edited together in sequence before, it's rare to get the chance to see an actor react genuinely to their own work, it's great.

the way Joseph just took the guitar with him lmao

I died when Joseph stole the guitar 😂

Theory: I think Will is connected to Vecna and it's similar to Harry Potters and Voldemorts situation. In Harry Potter, Harry is a horcruxe for Voldemort, which is basically i thing that keeps Voldemort from dying. This results to Harry being to able to see and feel every emotion that Voldemort feels, just like Will and Vecna. Will will have to sacrifice himself in order to offiicially kill Vecna, just as Harry did. Hope this makes sense lol

BRO FINN LITERALLY ONLY GETTING MILEVEN QUESTIONS AND BEING SO AWKWARD AND TRYING TO NOT ANSWER THEM CLEARLY WILL FOREVER BE FUNNY TO ME

Also Eddie , Dustin , max and Lucas did amazing performances in their heartbreaking scenes But all of the cast are amazing too
