We're generally fans of Stranger Things' fourth season , at least of the seven episodes that have been released so far

[{"selector":"#anim-43301295-f43c-4b3a-a722-cdb1fadbdf2d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(41.51631420323809%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-933babf2-9b92-4a16-aff5-064f34f603a9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, we're also eagerly awaiting Netflix's virtually four-hour (!) finale next month

[{"selector":"#anim-fec5dd2c-11bb-41a5-8531-95471a91fd60 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(49.44852920225175%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b2f66f3-be50-48db-8115-4b40f767026f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

A half-dozen new stills from Volume 2 were released, which fail to capture the drama set up by Volume 1

[{"selector":"#anim-041e6db1-e73e-496c-b6ac-91afe5e45d6b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-976133f9-40bd-4e31-8c26-8354b147984f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As you know Vecna's origin, Eleven's powers might be back, Nancy was trapped in a nightmare

[{"selector":"#anim-08187140-79e8-45dc-a595-f587380fc060 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0752067e-15cb-4a97-8ae9-031ab7ef0e54","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

In the Upside Down, Hopper, Joyce, and Murray were trapped in a Russian prison with a demogorgon, all that was really exciting

[{"selector":"#anim-c286b41d-162f-45fa-9d26-98d0b3f06c0c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.99243155562762%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b60fcfc8-e4a3-47a2-9069-febd53d19c5d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Max and Lucas are sitting, not standing, in their picture, as are Mike, Will, Jonathan, and new character Argyle

[{"selector":"#anim-91b9e8c0-7364-485f-9add-33656044b907 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.97045889924429%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-34cd01e5-7021-4f46-a287-abab1accf2a6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, these stills don't really help create excitement for Volume 2

[{"selector":"#anim-02a48636-944a-4236-ab6b-c178f406102d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.999999908980584%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0320e409-0105-41af-b243-c3fd13dd3b8a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The final two episodes of Volume 2 will have plenty of time to do cool things and stand around once it arrives on July 1
