Stranger Things Season 5: Plot Holes, Broken Rules & Confusion

You finished Stranger Things Season 5… and something just felt wrong.This week on A.J. Chat, we go deeper into the logic holes, dropped plotlines, and rule-breaking that made the final season of Stranger Things so frustrating — not just emotionally, but structurally.This isn’t nitpicking. This is myth-breaking.⚠️ Will’s powers vanish when the story needs them to The military disappears mid-season — no fallout Eleven gets new powers… with no cost or explanation Dr. Kay is built up, then forgotten The hive mind rules? Totally ignored The Upside Down feels… empty Dialogue sounds like a different (and younger) show‍♂️ Vecna starts monologuing like a failed TED TalkAnd we haven’t even touched the nosebleed, the mind-meld with Mike, or Hopper just walking back into his job like nothing happened.This is Part Two of our Season 5 autopsy — an episode for everyone who left the finale feeling dazed, confused, and asking:Did Stranger Things just stop making sense?
