    Re: Will getting powers.

    I thought that was a great bit of character development. Will has been kicked around for five seasons so far. Tortured, possessed, just had the worst fucking time. Then Vecna just taunts him directly to his face. I broke you. You were a weak child and I broke you.

    Going full Vecna on the Demogorgons was just a beautiful scene.

    I’m really looking forward to Will overpowering and stealing the Demogorgons from Vecna in the future.

    I also had a hunch that someone other than El would get powers this season. Before we learned her story I thought it would be Max. I thought she was choosing to stay in the dream/memory land and gaining/stealing powers while fighting off Vecna. But I’m glad it was Will.
