So you're telling me we fought an interdimensional demon god for 5 seasons and the only major character who died was... the one introduced this season? Give me a break. The plot armor in this show is thicker than the Berlin Wall. Steve should have died protecting the kids. It would have been a perfect arc. Instead, we got a 'Harry Potter' epilogue where everyone is happy and smiling. It felt cheap. Horror needs consequences, and Stranger Things 5 was too afraid to hurt our feelings.
