"Curiously, it runs counter to what so much of this show has been about for five seasons. The recurring themes throughout are friendship, teamwork and family, both those that are found and those you are born with. And yet, what good are you as a part of any of those groups if you don't stand on your own two feet?"
"We see Noah Schnapp do a lot more than that in the final moments of this first batch of episodes, saving his beloved friends from certain death at the very last possible second. For a moment, it looked like Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) was a goner in particular. But a few broken monster bones later, and he lives to fight another day."
Will Byers experiences a revelation that his answers were within himself and that he must stop being so afraid, echoing Robin's line. The show centers on friendship, teamwork and family, yet individual bravery and self-reliance remain vital. Noah Schnapp's character saves his friends in a decisive climax, nearly costing Mike Wheeler his life before he survives. The confrontation takes place at MAC-Z, the Military Access Control Zone nicknamed The Big Mac, and plays out on a movie-length, large-scale canvas. The Duffer brothers said the sequence was the most complicated they had shot, involving many departments, extras, stunts, practical and digital effects, fire, and the challenge of limited night hours with child actors, requiring piecemeal filming.
