‘End of an era’ – Netizens react
It all comes down to the final battle of Hawkins as Stranger Things is finally set to wrap up for the decade.

Reacting to the Stranger Things Season 5 Finale trailer, users on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “Yeah, this is gonna be good,” and “I can’t accept that it’s really ending.”
Fans predict that Will Byers will be the one to take down Vecna, while others are rooting for Eleven. “I’m sincere when I say I’m so excited about this,” wrote a fan.
