long.\u00a0<em>Really\u00a0<\/em>long. This is an episode set to run for two and a half hours. In other words, it\u2019s a movie. The end of season 4 is longer than a lot of big-budget films are.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Matt and Jess TV on Instagram <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mattandjesstv\/\">HERE<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s go ahead and get into the next big question: Why is it so long? Why couldn\u2019t the Duffer Brothers just split this thing up into two or even three different episodes? There are plenty of arguments here but in an interview with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?format=go&amp;jsonp=vglnk_165663700462510&amp;key=772a82adcff112d9c479568d0b0815df&amp;libId=l51qqs9f0103iluh000DLbb73s5hs&amp;loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbr.com%2Fstranger-things-season-4-long-episodes-netflix%2F&amp;ccpaConsent=1YNY&amp;v=1&amp;opt=true&amp;out=https%3A%2F%2Fvariety.com%2F2022%2Ftv%2Fnews%2Fstranger-things-season-4-duffer-brothers-spinoff-1235301947%2F&amp;ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&amp;title=Stranger%20Things%20Creators%20Explain%20Season%204%27s%20Lengthy%20Episodes&amp;txt=Variety\">Variety<\/a>, Ross Duffer explained that it\u2019s really about structure more so than anything else:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cReel one is build-up dread. Reel two is action, chaos. And then, reel three is our traditional coda, come down after all of that. You didn\u2019t really want to break it after just the build-up. It wouldn\u2019t feel like a satisfying episode. So, at a certain point we just said, \u2018Well, it\u2019s just a mega episode.\u2019 If someone wants to pause it, they can!&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All of this is true, and there really is no denying that you want to tell stories that suit your vision. Of course, that\u2019s still going to be a lot for viewers to sit through.<\/p>\n<p>This finale should prove to be a real test for Netflix when it comes to how future writer-producers can go about structuring their own episodes.\u00a0<em>Stranger Things\u00a0<\/em>basically gets this sort of leeway because it is enormously successful. We are, after all, talking about one of the biggest shows on all of TV! It also generated huge viewership with the first volume of season 4.<\/p>\n<p>What we\u2019re trying to say here is rather simple: There are going to be more long episodes coming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Be sure to get some more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> it comes to Stranger Things right now<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_you_think_the_Stranger_Things_4_finale_is_so_long\"><\/span>Why do you think the\u00a0<em>Stranger Things 4\u00a0<\/em>finale is so long?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to share right now in the attached comments!
