News Stranger Things - Season 5

I've been watching a lot of interviews with the cast, the Duffer brothers, and Shawn Levy and while they're all fun, they're mostly fluff. But I have to share this one Levy did with Collider today because of what he says about the series finale and how working with the Duffer brothers changed his career:

To be honest, at this point you can say that about pretty much anything.

To be honest, that has pretty much always been how Hollywood works in regards to anything successful.

People just complain about it/notice it more than they used to these days
 
Variety has published an article about everyone's final days and how the Duffer brothers managed to schedule every principle actor's final scene in the show as their final scene filmed...and how everyone was crying on their last day. Here are just a few of the highlights:

Natalia Dyer: There are so many ways that that could not work out. You have so many moving pieces: There’s schedules and filming and weather. The fact that they were able to pull that off, and they made a point of doing that, was really touching. Getting to do that with your character is really, really lovely. It really amps up the emotion of the moment and that day. It almost felt a little masochistic and indulgent — but in the best way possible.​
Noah Schnapp: I went to every single person on that call sheet’s last day. I did not want to say goodbye to anybody. Every single goodbye hit me so much more than I expected. Like, I was at Winona’s last day, and I was like, “Oh, this is a work goodbye, we’ll see each other soon.” And then I was in her trailer, and I was like, “No! You can’t leave!” I was holding on to her, just sobbing. I didn’t want to say goodbye. I did not expect it to hit me so hard. I realized after that how important that relationship was to me. She really was a second mother to me growing up, and not having this show to keep us together was really hard, especially with her, because she’s hard to keep track of. I’m not always seeing Winona Ryder. So it was a hard goodbye.​
Maya Hawke: They did such a beautiful job of choosing a last scene that mirrored the emotional experience that we were going through as people in ending the show. And that’s not a spoiler, because you don’t know my experience! But it was such a gift, because it allowed the feelings that we were working through with each other on that day to become a part of the scene, and to be this integrated emotional experience.​
Nell Fisher: My scene was actually the last scene that was shot. It was on the very last day. It was running a bit behind schedule, and so I had about three hours of just hanging around with the rest of the cast who were in my scene. I finished slightly earlier, but I waited until the final wrap, which was — I mean, it was incredible. I cried. Everyone cried! There were a lot of tears. I’m surprised Atlanta didn’t flood, to be honest.​
Charlie Heaton: Everyone’s been like “What’s it like now that you finished?” And in my opinion, it ended so perfectly. It doesn’t feel like anything was left, and I wouldn’t change anything about how it ended. We wrapped and then we got to be with the kids when they wrapped, and we got to see them go through it and support them. It’s like a little death and you’re mourning, and then you wake up the next day and you feel a sense of loss. It was a really unique experience.​
Finn Wolfhard: I don’t think I’ll ever truly feel like it’s the end. The show will live on in so many ways that I hope it still feels relevant to people years down the line. As far as the actual end of the story goes, I don’t know. I mean, there’s a reason why we ended it, and it’s done. But who’s to say that the Duffers, in 10 years, when they get another idea, they do it? It’s up to them. I think it’s good that it’s the end, but part of me hopes it’s not.​
I highly recommend everyone read the entire article. It's so sweet.

its like the final countdown
 
yup

its crazy how eleven mike dustin lucus and will changed over the years along with nancy steve and johnathan
Not really, they're kids and the show has taken 10 years to make. And in universe it's been 5 years and they've gone through a hell of a lot. Either way, it would have been crazier if they hadn't changed that much.
