After almost 10 years, Netflix's hit sci-fi series Stranger Things has come to an end. However, the two-hour-long finale has left fans divided, with some very pleased with how the show came to a close, whereas others feel robbed of a major final battle.

Others agree, with another writing, "The finale to Stranger Things was one of the most anticlimactic, safest, and unsatisfying endings to any show I’ve ever seen." Many seem to be confused over the sheer amount of plot holes left open, as one points out, "Main villain killed halfway in, nobody important died, no explanation on Henry Creel's origin story, and only an 18-month time jump."
But many fans are happy with how the Duffer brothers decided to close off the series. "I loved the ending to Stranger Things so much, I don’t know what you’re all talking about," said one fan, and another added, "Stranger Things finale is a mess highkey, but I’m still happy with it."
One fan said that despite its flaws, the finale fitted the series. "The Stranger Things finale was amazing and, in my opinion, ended the show in the best way possible. The final fight was intense, Vecna’s death was satisfying, and Eleven’s ending was exactly how I wanted her story to end," said the fan on Twitter. "I understand why some people will be upset that not many characters died, but after seeing how everyone’s stories were wrapped up, it made sense." At the end of the day, no matter how the series ended, not every fan would have been happy with the finale.
