Am I the only one who didn't feel a thing for our favourite friendship in season 5 ?
Dustin and Steve is my most favourite friendship in every season of stranger things. Actually it is the main reason stranger things was enjoyable to me personally. But in season 5 , they felt so forced. I mean, the interactions between them felt really lacking of emotions. Just like those scenes were included just to fill a checklist . For example, lets make dustin and steve fight, so we can later add a moment where they share an emotional moment. The duo we know would never have fought like that. Steve definetely would have understood why dustin feel so sad and would have waited for dustin to recover rather than badmouthing his friend who died. To my sadness ,I didn't feel any emotion when steve was going to fall off the tower because at that point , i knew that no one is going to die because of how thick the plot armour was. Didn't feel any emotion when dustin said , if you die , i die too. Because every dialogue in season 5 felt so dry and artificial. Not the actor's fault. The fault is of the dialogues.
Am i the only one who felt nothing about this amazing duo in the last season even though they were my most favourite thing in previous seasons ? Or am i not alone.
All comments are welcome , even though you loved the dynamics. This is a safe space to discuss any view. Thanks.
