Bueno, ya saben m谩s o menos de qu茅 va. Vecna logra secuestrar a los ni帽os y ahora el grupo al completo intenta rescatarlos, pero se enteran de algo mucho m谩s grande: el verdadero plan de Vecna, en el que todo el mundo se vera amenazado. Con el descubrimiento de este hallazgo las cosas cambian y deber谩n actuar lo m谩s r谩pido posible para idear un plan, rescatar a los ni帽os en el abismo y salir del mundo del rev茅s antes de que este explote, para as铆 terminar con todo de una buena vez. Parece sencillo, pero nada lo es y, como siempre, algo sale mal y nuestros h茅roes correr谩n gran peligro. 驴Podr谩n salvar al mundo de la cat谩strofe? 驴Saldr谩n todos con vida? 驴Podr谩n derrotar a Vecna?

Well, you know more or less what it's about. Vecna manages to kidnap the children and now the whole group tries to rescue them, but they find out about something much bigger: Vecna's real plan, in which everyone will be threatened. With this discovery, things change and they must act as quickly as possible to come up with a plan, rescue the children in the abyss, and escape the upside-down world before it explodes, putting an end to everything once and for all. It seems simple, but nothing is, and, as always, something goes wrong and our heroes are in great danger. Can they save the world from catastrophe? Will they all make it out alive? Can they defeat Vecna?

Rese帽a - Review

Cuando termin茅 de ver el 煤ltimo cap铆tulo qued茅 con esa sensaci贸n de nostalgia por todo el tiempo transcurrido. Empec茅 a ver la serie cuando arranc贸, hace 10 a帽os atr谩s, y fue imposible no sentir un vac铆o, la culminaci贸n de algo que me acompa帽贸 durante mucho tiempo. Creo que eso pes贸 much铆simo. Siento que este fue un final pensado para los nost谩lgicos. Me gust贸, pero siento que podr铆a haber estado mucho mejor y, al mismo tiempo, dejaron muchas incongruencias por el camino que no tienen explicaci贸n, pero tuvo un final que apelo a la emoci贸n.

When I finished watching the last episode, I was left with a feeling of nostalgia for all the time that had passed. I started watching the series when it began 10 years ago, and it was impossible not to feel a void, the culmination of something that had been with me for a long time. I think that weighed heavily on me. I feel like this was an ending designed for the nostalgic. I liked it, but I feel like it could have been much better, and at the same time, they left many inconsistencies along the way that have no explanation, but it had an ending that appealed to the emotions.

Fue imposible no emocionarme en m谩s de una ocasi贸n, pensar en que vi crecer a estos ni帽os, que ya son j贸venes adultos, y que yo tambi茅n crec铆 en ese tiempo. Eso me llen贸 de nostalgia, me hizo pensar en mi yo de hace 10 a帽os atr谩s, en lo que estaba haciendo, en todo lo que pas贸 en el medio. S铆, me hizo reflexionar bastante sobre la vida, que loco. Pero tambi茅n soy objetiva y no s茅 si fue un final a la altura de los acontecimientos.

It was impossible not to get emotional on more than one occasion, thinking about how I watched these children grow up, how they are now young adults, and how I also grew up during that time. It filled me with nostalgia, made me think about myself 10 years ago, what I was doing, everything that happened in between. Yes, it made me reflect a lot on life, how crazy. But I'm also objective, and I don't know if it was an ending worthy of the events.

Me pareci贸 que no tuvo un gran impacto m谩s all谩 de todo lo que nos cuestionamos y de lo que nos hizo sentir. No sent铆 que tuviera alguna escena que me haya dejado con la boca abierta pensando en qu茅 estaba viendo algo incre铆ble como s铆 me pas贸 en temporadas anteriores. Muchas cosas se sintieron raras, fue emotiva y me encantaron otras situaciones que fueron pasando, pero no logro convencerme del todo. Miro hacia atr谩s y siento que fue flojo el final en comparaci贸n a lo que ven铆a sucediendo. Pero, sigue siendo una serie a la que le tengo mucho aprecio por todos estos a帽os vividos.

I felt that it didn't have a big impact beyond everything we questioned and how it made us feel. I didn't feel that there were any scenes that left me speechless, thinking about how incredible what I was watching was, as happened to me in previous seasons. Many things felt strange, it was emotional, and I loved other situations that happened, but I can't quite convince myself. Looking back, I feel like the ending was weak compared to what had been happening. But it's still a series that I've grown very fond of over the years.

Lo mejor de todo fue la actuaci贸n de Jamie como Henry, es que por momentos sus miradas daban miedo de verdad, y para serles sincera, no me asusto con facilidad, pero cada vez que aparec铆a Vecna me daba repel煤s. Me pareci贸 que su muerte fue muy simple, como que al final se resolvi贸 f谩cil y todo lo vivido anteriormente daba cuenta de que nada pod铆a ser tan sencillo. Adem谩s, me result贸 super extra帽o que no hubiera demogorgon y dem谩s criaturas que atacar谩n a los chicos mientras estaban en plena lucha del otro lado siendo que en otras temporadas hac铆an dos pasos y ya ten铆as 3 persigui茅ndolos. Situaciones que no tienen sentido, ya que si funcionan como una colmena por qu茅 no vino ninguna criatura a salvar al azotamentes que era el l铆der en primer lugar, 驴de repente murieron todos m谩gicamente? Me hacen pensar en el pobre Eddie que se enfrent贸 a esas criaturas con su guitarra y al final muri贸. Ac谩 no hubo nada de eso. Fue un final feliz, pero, agridulce al mismo tiempo.

The best part was Jamie's performance as Henry. At times, his looks were truly frightening, and to be honest, I don't scare easily, but every time Vecna appeared, I got the creeps. I thought his death was very simple, as if it was resolved easily in the end, and everything that had happened before made it clear that nothing could be that simple. I also found it super weird that there were no Demogorgons or other creatures attacking the kids while they were in the middle of a fight on the other side, considering that in other seasons, they took two steps and you already had three chasing them. These situations don't make sense, because if they function like a hive, why didn't any creatures come to save the Whipmaster, who was the leader in the first place? Did they all suddenly die magically? It makes me think of poor Eddie, who faced those creatures with his guitar and ended up dying. There was none of that here. It was a happy ending, but bittersweet at the same time.

No llegu茅 a entender a los militares tampoco, ellos solo quer铆an a Eleven, pero Henry y Vecna no les importaban. Lo dejaban hacer lo que quisiera y no intentaban detenerlo a pesar de contar con herramientas como para inmovilizarlos. Si fuera por ellos hubieran dejado que el mundo colapse en la fusi贸n de los dos mundos. Es super raro que no intentar谩n controlar la situaci贸n o se alarmaran por esos planes. Ellos solo quer铆an a Eleven para seguir creando ni帽os superdotados y usarlos como armas biol贸gicas a costa de desatar un infierno en la Tierra. Es que su intervenci贸n me pareci贸 muy sosa y sin mucho sentido.

I didn't understand the military either. They only wanted Eleven, but they didn't care about Henry and Vecna. They let him do whatever he wanted and didn't try to stop him, even though they had the tools to immobilize them. If it were up to them, they would have let the world collapse in the merger of the two worlds. It's super weird that they didn't try to control the situation or get alarmed by those plans. They just wanted Eleven so they could continue creating gifted children and use them as biological weapons at the cost of unleashing hell on Earth. I found their intervention very bland and meaningless.

En l铆neas generales, am茅 la serie desde el primer instante y aunque fue un final flojo a lo que hubiera querido, lo disfrut茅 igual. Me emocion茅, me pego mucho en la nostalgia y entend铆 el mensaje final de dejar atr谩s la ni帽ez y darle paso a la adultez. Pero el trasfondo agridulce sigue estando.
驴A ustedes qu茅 les pareci贸 el final?

Overall, I loved the series from the very beginning, and even though the ending was weaker than I would have liked, I enjoyed it just the same. I was moved, it struck a chord of nostalgia in me, and I understood the final message of leaving childhood behind and embracing adulthood. But the bittersweet undertone remains.
What did you think of the ending?
