the last few chapters

The producers had already warned that they wanted to have an ending according to the horror books of the aforementioned Stephen King.

And if we go back all this season 4, with the two volumes, they came very close to the idea they had.

In episode 9 the fight takes place, the battle, if not the war between Vecna, Eleven and their friends. It is quite bumpy and a little tangled, but not complicated. It is a mental duel, but the terrain is not between neurons but in different areas, different places that are reached through, let’s call it, different portals.

The “What did you do” that, more than asking, Father Martin (Matthew Modine) scolded a little Eleven, girl, at the beginning of volume 1, returns at some point. Everything has its own explanation – I do not dare to say its logic yet – no one from the armchair or bed at home will be left without understanding what is happening.

But what’s central in volume 2 is that battle. Which is extensive, it lasts almost an hour. The Duffers, who co-wrote, as always, the scripts for the 34-episode series and directed these two episodes, they remember Spielberg and slow down the bad guy’s appearancelike Steven did Shark.

And if the humor with which they imbued what was happening in Russia, with Jim, Joyce, the smuggler Yuri and Murray was, by far, the weakest part of volume 1, there are hardly any gags here. There isn’t much room for jokes.

And unlike volume 1, where there was an intrigue -who is Vecna ​​or how did Vecna ​​come about-, there aren’t so many puzzles anymore, and expectations are focused on that confrontation.

One of the interpreters had also warned that volume 2 was carnage (carnage, he said, which sounds more and more beautiful).

Neither too much nor too little.
