Villain is evil because... ...he is
i liked him in the cartoon more.
>>217041705>watches an American Netflix tv show>expects non-dogshit writing
>>217041705Heroes are good because......they are
>>217041705Actually he is not evil. The prequel stageplay confirms he had his mind broken by "the dark shadow" of Dimension X. The real badguy is the dark shadow of dimension X who just wants to see other planets.
>>217042728Finale retcons that.
>Evil black rock tells him to merge Life and Death, as above so below Everything always comes back to the Protocols
>>217042764how so? Haven't seen it yet.
>>217042788Based and Star of Remphan-pilled
>>217042807Henry says he always just wanted to fuck shit up for everyone
>>217042728No. Mind flyer needed the vessel of an intelligent being (human) to have telekinesis powers and Henry embraced those powers. It's like Majin vegeta.
>>217042881Henry wasn't evil when he went to Dimension X and got influenced by the Dark Shadow in the stageplay.>>217042849How do we know that is not just him talking in his new persona after having his mind warped by the dark shadow? He is a sad, abused figure. He deserved redemption.
>>217042849Of course someone who is mind-controlled would say that. This is the Duffers, though. They'd absolutely retcon their own retcon and think it genius.
>>217042946The stageplay doesn't matter.
>>217041705Evil for sake of evil works on so many levels
>>217042946It’s modern Henry talking to Will>Will sees kid Henry kill the guy>Tells Henry the MF was always manipulating him and that he can be redeemed>Henry tells him no and that he was just always like this
>>217042728>dark shadow of dimension XSounds like something a school kid would make up when staging imaginary fights with his action figures
>>217043000checked, but that completely contradicts the stageplay, which was supposed to fill in the gaps of Henry's history for context to watch this season. Wild that they just outright retconned it.How do they defeat the Dark Shadow or "mindflayer" as they call it?
>>217041705Yes, and that's acceptable.
>>217043043Yeah, sounds fitting for a show with kids playing D&D
>>217043073They beat him in 5 minutes with guns and El/Will psychic killing Vecna which kills MF for some reason
>>217043147>powers are just watered down versions of henry's>somehow stronger than him
>>217043073I think they realized most people haven’t seen the play and they can get a whole prequel season worth of content from Henry’s backstory instead
>>217043147>MF dies because Vecna diesVecna is the subordinate, not the sovereign of Dimension X? Why would killing him kill the Mind Flayer?Killing demogorgon never harmed Vecna, why does it do so to the mind flayer to his pawn.Also Will? Why not Eleven and Eight who both ACTUALLY have psychic powers and psychic blood. Will was literally just a conduit for Vecna's powers, how the fuck can he do anything meaningful against him?
>>217043577>Will was literally just a conduit for Vecna's powers, how the fuck can he do anything meaningful against him?The transcendent power of homosexuality was fueling him. Also, theoretically, Will and all the kids who got tentacled should have altered blood. Or something. Who knows.
>>217041705you meant to say:because he is too proud to recognize that he has been manipulated ever since he was a child projects this by trying to manipulate children
>>217043073>How do they defeat the Dark Shadow or "mindflayer" as they call it?They shoot it and light it on fire. The bullets are shown to be really effective even though demos were shrugging them off earlier
>>217042849That's his coping mechanic kicking in because it's way too late for him to back out now. Why else would the Mind Flayer repress his memories of their actual first meeting for so long?
