imagine they had fought the shadow form

I wish it stayed as a shadow form… would’ve been more true and scary to the horror aspects :’))

ik i miss the scariness of the show

I’d win, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

@Draptor05170375 oh shit

Plus I’ll get my revenge on my nemesis Will Byers.

@Draptor05170375 @moonsinfant Beefing with a 12 year old, what a loser

@moonsinfant Bro was the only person to ever break free of my control, bro took my power that i gave vecna, bro literally was the reason why i lost because he found out how to stop my plan.

@Draptor05170375 @moonsinfant Sounds like your washed buddy

@moonsinfant What do you expect I’m written by the duffers.

the form only being visible when the lightning strikes................ such cool character design I mourn it every day

yes bru the group stumbling around in the dark, vecna using his powers to make them hallicinate, the lightning only revealing the mind flayers size when it strikes.... we could've had it all

those shitty writers probably couldn't think of a way to defeat this shadow form and then came up with that physical form bullshit

Imagine if they truly kept the s1-s2 vibes?? We would’ve truly witnessed peak television

how would they fight it if its a shadow

and they can’t harm it bcs it’s just dust particles

the shadow form controlling all of them one by one showing them their traumas and haunting them, separating them and almost killing them ughhh we could've had it all

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING like I really waited for the final battle to be with THE mind flayer, like the shadow monster and it’ll be so epic but then they did THAT and suddenly it became a big spider that died so fast like I was expecting more :(

This edit is not doing me good at 2am in this dark room Jesus

thats what im SAYING that couldve been awesome as fuck instead of a 5 minute battle with a fleshy being that is merely a shell of its predecessor

I hate they fought that mf in bright ass daylight, I was fully convinced we were going to see them fight the mind flayer in intimidating darkness, they could’ve done so much with that.

Sigh everyone go get a vacuum cleaner we about to Ghostbusters this shit

How would you fight dust particles, by turning on the vacuum cleaner? Guys let’s be realistic, it needed to be in a physical form. It’s common sense! 😭

It should’ve been more psychological yeah

Errybody getting flayed in 10 seconds

The abyss being dark and gritty and cold with dark storm clouds that create yellow and blue lightning that suspiciously strikes infront of a shot with will and Mike next to each other bumping elbows

It’s not powerful in its shadow form it can only Control, that’s why vecna made physical form of it

i still wonder how they could defeat this thing since it's basically made up of particles. would've been so much more interesting and the stakes would've been much higher

Yeah,they would've lost.

im not a stranger things fan why is it actually cool and menacing when its far away and shadowy

It would’ve had to be a mind fight, which would have been cheaper and better.

Imo the mindflayer should've just disappeared with the Upside Down to keep the cosmic horror thing of "you can only deal with it, but never kill it"

I thought its arms were gonna be like tornados and when they fought it there was gonna be crazy risk. But it was a lame flesh version 😑

They had everything and used nothing.

How tf do you fight a shadow

With what ? Vacuum??

only Will could've ended it tbh

i still feel like we could’ve gotten another season because the abyss and the mind flayer aren’t defeated

also the shadow form makes more sense bc when whatever had will and later on the children possessed left their bodies it was shown as smoke

it would have probably looked like this lol

The comment section talking about how this would have been cooler but how because they would have been in its home so how would they have defeated it?

this would have been sm cooler
