El's death ruined the epilogue
I said what I said. We saw her vanishing into thing air, and Mike screaming his lungs out for her. Hopper is devasted, the Party is said too. Then not even two mins later, we cut to the epilogue - and everyone couldn't be happier. As an audience it was super jarring to me.
I just sat there being devastated about El, and could not give a shit about any single character's happiness after what happened to her. In fact I begun to resent it, because if everyone else (bar Mike, ofc) can have the perfect fairytale ending, why not her?
Pissed me off big time
