The Abyss monsters probably because the physical Mind Flayer. It does help explain the lack of monsters since volume 1.
Lots of Demos were around when he had the physical room to add kids to it. It just felt more like plot convenience to exclude them. Physical mind flayer didn’t have that meat goo exterior he had when he was physical on Earth, but more traditional spider. No meat goo tentacles on the exterior, just his spider legs.
The meat goo mind flayer seemed much more dangerous than the abyss one.

Maybe she was far enough way to not be affected also how did Kahli know when to use her powers and can she even use them that far away assuming she was even alive. I just feel like this was Mike trying to cope
Judging by Reddit, El living or dying is the new did Dottie drop the ball on purpose. It’s a war zone on there right now about this subject.

I took him being in the cave as he was exploring with his troop, hence the outfit, and heard screams coming from it. Like any young boy, he went to investigate and upon being shot he was filled with rage and decided to strike with a rock.
They totally set up for a prequel show about how the mind flayer stone came to be there.

That's probably part of it. You all STFU and we won't imprison you for the rest of your lives. The military had other things to worry and deal with and a quick closure makes everything easier. Granted, they probably are under surveillance for the rest of their lives in addition (which works either way really).
No way Hop walks though, his arse would have disappeared. Nancy probably would as well. Both straight up murdered soldiers.

Disappointed no major deaths happened to the main cast. Felt like someone maybe needed to die but I feel like they also thought they should’ve done it earlier in the series.
Duffers always maintained this wasn’t Game of Thrones, they wanted a cheesy 80s adventure.

My other complaint. They kill dozens of US troops get caught coming back out. Evil doc lady doesn’t get eleven. Would imagine they would all get punished but we never get an explanation why none of them are imprisoned or executed? Like the military just said ah damn guess we take the L on this one?
They killed the entire outpost full of people and lab experiment prego women. Dr K probably said thanks for erasing any trace of that, lol.

So did Vecna just seem weak as a final boss type?
Yeah the fight with Vecna barely seemed like an inconvenience. The wrap up took so long that I felt like the fight was a very minor part of the episode.
Overall it was decent and about as good as can be expected from how bad this season was.
It ended like a cheesy 80s movie which works for this show.

Bowls are glorified Spring ball games now.
Not even that, a good portion of the team and coaching staff is getting turned over. It really just doesn't have a point anymore.

it's the holly show, man they are overusing her, huh?
I mean, her story has been better than most the cast this season. Holly hasn't bothered me except when Max decided to monologue when they needed to escape.

I don't even care that he's gay. It was just a moment with a shite ton of poor dialogue that shouldn't have been in that moment IMO.
I finally found what his stupid speech reminded me of when he was naming all the relatable member berries 80s crap.
Nolan Sorrento in Ready Player one when he is talking about cracking open a Tab and listening to Duran Duran.
This meme comes to mind too, but when trying to relate to the 80s kids audience.

Not everyone knows he was Tom Riddle. That detail is mostly known by Dumbledore, Harry, and a few others who dug into his past. The general wizarding population only knows him as Voldemort.
Names have power in the magical world. Voldemort deliberately erased his old identity to control the narrative. His followers and enemies alike reinforced that by using his chosen name.
TBF, if you haven't read the books, they don't really explain things that well in the movies. It's a fair question if your only source of knowledge is the movies and how much was left from the movies.

Whatever takes 1 click on an Android takes 3 on an iphone. For instance, for the life of me, why can't iphone just add an "attach contact card" to a text message. Like it's stupid, you have to leave the text message, go to contacts, search for contact, and then hit share contact, type who you want to send it to and hit send.
On the other hand, you're in the text message on Android, hit add contact, search the contact and hit send.
Why apple? Why??? Why leave the text message to do something simple.
it should be in the + menu, no idea why they haven't done it, it is annoying
you can share specific contact info like phone number or email by holding the text box, clicking autofill, contacts, find contact then pick which part of the contact info to send.
Wonder if this type of thing is in a utility patent of some type like the one Apple had on one clicking phone numbers/emails/etc to call/email people. Samsung went to war over that one.
LOL at anyone calling either of these OSes not intuitive. Literal toddlers can pick these up and be using them effectively with very little effort. Exaggeration gone too far here.
I'm ok with this because you can get a grilled salad at Zaxby's, but their tenders aren't as good as Cane's. Kinda limited on what you can get at Cane's. The novelty of Cane's has worn off now that it expanded to our area.

Kali coming back was a mistake. She is so bad.

The marathon ruined it for me. My BiL wouldn’t let the family turn it off for like a decade, it got really freakin annoying. Still refuse to watch it anymore.

I get irrationally angry every time he says "that" whatever. "You gotta add that garlic powder. You gotta add that black pepper. You gotta add that southern boyz seasoning." It's a real problem I have. Not to mention he generally cooks slop.
Had to block that dude ages ago, agree with how annoying he is

I'm sure I'll get ripped for this, but in retorspect, was not a fan of Mario World... it was sensory overload. Way too much going on in way too small of a space.
It feels very cramped, especially on busy days so I get that complaint. The theming is incredible though.
Nice glad you had a great time and sounds like you got a low attendance day. You made out like a bandit with Ministry being that short of a wait.
Yeah it definitely needs more.

Nice park, but 100% enjoy Islands/Universal better. Doubt we will go back unless they include it in park hopper and do Express for staying on property.
Yeah it definitely needs more.

It is really easy. Market is too flooded. I have about 30 local seasoning. I stopped accepting them. I sell one where the guy told me he told the company to mix Tonys and Slap Ya Mama. They did it. That's what his seasoning is.
Ha ha, does it work well?

Doesn't seem like it takes much to make a branded seasoning blend these days.

Nice Star Wars display, but I like my Christmas light shows to have something to do with Christmas.
I mean, they can go themed routes, but at least have Christmas lights in your Christmas lights instead of lazy projection crap.
