Stranger Things 5 - SPOILERS, STUPIDEST Moments & PLOT HOLES!

Quick Overview

The speakers heavily criticize the plot holes and logical inconsistencies of the initial episodes of Stranger Things 5, focusing primarily on the unbelievable lack of public reaction to the Upside Down existing under Hawkins, the military's incompetence, and Vecna's confusing motivations regarding capturing children like Holly.

Key Points: The immediate plot point of Season 4 chaos being ignored is criticized, with speakers noting, "Everyone's totally fine. Things are totally >> That's why I was It hits me like a ton of I'm like what? Wait." The military's handling of the situation is deemed incompetent, specifically allowing the main characters to run a radio show that can transfer secret messages: "You can have a RADIO SHOWATION. DON'T THINK ABOUT IT." The logic of piggybacking off the military for Upside Down excursions is called convoluted, especially since the military never addresses the visible 100 ft flesh wall: "There's no way that the military was just stupid to let you piggy back off them 30 [ ] TIMES." Vecna's plan involving capturing children like Holly Wheeler is questioned, especially since she immediately accepts his false narrative: "Why wouldn't the military evacuate everybody and it be only the military? It's because we still need a story." The narrative around Will Byers' potential unrequited love for Mike is discussed, with speakers speculating that the writers might kill Will off to resolve the tension or have Mike gently reject him: "That could be a good message that not every time you love somebody, they're going to love you back." The episode structure is criticized for feeling disconnected, with one speaker noting, "The transition from episode 1 and two does not MAKE SENSE. SHE'S LIKE, 'AH, YOU KNOW, MY MOM AND AND PEOPLE AND NOW she's all like, I'm playing with toys. I'm safe.'" The introduction of Sarah Connor (referred to as 'Sarah Connor' and 'her') and her subsequent quick removal from the plot via Hopper's sacrifice is noted, with the speaker criticizing the lack of depth given to her character material.
