Great season altogether, although I definitely wish they would have killed off someone other than Munson. He was the star of the season for me.
Him in the Michael Myers mask had me cracking up. The scene with him and Dustin jamming to Metallica to bait the bats was awesome as well.
Spoiler!
My main annoyance with the Eddie death is that it seemed completely unnecessary. They already had distracted the bats to let them get into the house. They had a way back through the portal. And yet he doesn't take it because he didn't want to run?? If they needed more distraction all they had to do was simply wait until the bats left and climb back through the portal and just walk back outside and start playing music again. One of the most pointless "heroic" deaths I've ever seen in a show.
The other reason I wish they would have killed off some others is that there are getting to be way too many characters and it's hard to feel for all of them. Why am I supposed to care about Will possibly being gay when he has like 20 minutes of screen time the entire season? Why am I supposed to care about a possible love triangle when the boyfriend and girlfriend in said triangle don't speak to each other for the entire season except for an awkward hug at the end? The Russia side plot may as well have been an entirely different show. Consolidating the cast would add some stakes and streamline the show so that you care about all of the characters without having some being left out.

This holds a special place in my heart because it was one of my best impulse buys ever. One of the first [if not THE first] pieces of any music I bought was "Kill 'Em All" on cassette.*
Then a couple years later, I saw this on the rack [again at Venture on Bannister] and bought it knowing nothing about it, and none of my friends knew anything about it either since it hadn't even been advertised or anything on MTV or anything like that, and I got to go around to all my friends and do the 'yo, check this shit out man' thing.
Still think it's probably their best song, certainly starting with Battery then moving right into Master is the best opening on any album I can think of. To this day I can't think of them as separate songs.
* - it even has the original artwork since I bought it like the first week or so it came out, which would be worth something on vinyl, but is just a 'neat story' since it's on cassette. [Reply]

My son was playing it on his guitar earlier today. We just finished watching the finale. We all looked at each other on those first few chords and threw the horns. [Reply]
I think Max is still with Vecna which is why 11 couldn’t find her. I think they’ll save her but she might be permanently blind.
Will is obviously going to be a main part of the final season. I could see him being like a horcrux type of situation where he can’t escape the fate.
One of these original characters has to die for this show to seem more real IMO I think Will is a good guess. Obviously 11 is the best betting odds to die next season. The gov is coming after her and her presence lures terrible things from the upside down, also bc she can open gates to the upside down.
I think she sacrifices herself to save everyone or the story ends with her trapping herself in the upside down to ensure nobody from reality can open the gate again.

It's going to be a combination of 11,Will,and Steve going "Doc Holliday"
Or in 80's fashion Jacob gets killed and fulfills " the black guy dies 1st" trope. [Reply]
