Just like last time I know it all finished airing over Christmas and New Years, but since those are inconvenient times for some, let’s discuss the series finale of Stranger Things.

    Re Nancy Wheeler.

    During the epilogue I believe all of these young adults have moved on. I believe Johnathan is an awkward filmmaker. I believe Steve coaches children. I believe Robin is just vibin in life. But I don’t believe Nancy.

    Nancy started this series as the “preppy” girl and ended it as Ripley/Rambo. Leaving college made sense. She obviously wanted to be a reporter, so jumping right into reporting makes sense. But even as she says she’s happy about it… She isn’t. And maybe that’s part of her story. Maybe her story isn’t over.

    I think we needed something more of Nancy. Maybe we see her trying school and trying reporting, but she doesn’t really feel at ease until discussing monsters with her friends, who seemingly have moved on.

      It would be great if she just lied and embraced her Rambo side in a secret job like a sniper

      I also got Rambo vibes from her with the bandana. Was also a bit ridiculous every time this ragtag bunch of teenagers invaded a military base and killed a bunch of soldiers with zero casualties and absolutely zero “holy shit, I just killed a man” reflection.
