Even though Max is basically brain dead it feels really cheap for Eleven to save her. Also it was stupid for Eddy to die. And they need to find something else for Will to do other than cry about Mike not wanting to fuck him. I enjoyed the season overall but damn that plot armor and lack of things for everyone to do hurt the last couple episodes.

max isnt brain dead - she was mentally OK before she died. Her heart stopped for 1 minute which afaik isnt necessarily enough time for the brain to be permanently damaged. And given that eleven jump started her heart thousands of miles away telepathically Im sure she will find a way to fix her. She was in a medically induced coma and they figure shes brain dead but really shes probably trapped under Vecnas control.

Will getting so broken heartd over Mike is just annoying - I empathize hes a queer teen in the 80s, but they really need to stop with the emotional mess he becomes when he knows Mike is just not
interested in him like that.

He was a focal and important character for 2 seasons, kinda fell off in season 3 and in season 4 just becomes irrational but at the same time the thing that keeps will and eleven working. Im figuring he will and should be important in fighting off the upside down given his attachment to it.

eddys death was only required (unfortunately) because they had nothing else to do for this character. It would have been great if Jason survived (another ridiculous death tbh, he was a jock douche but he never really came off as a genuine bad guy.) he could have seen the shit that happened and went to bat for Eddy to clear his name. But he was just another sacrificial goat to keep main cast members in the good graces of the writers.
