Vecna’s Lack of Menace
How are the sounds of the way he kills people scarier than him? He doesn’t look particularly scary. He hangs around in the tangled veins of the Upside Down to project visions and command creatures like the Demo-Bats to do his bidding as the center of the hive mind, so he’s never a present threat. Worse, it’s basically the same threat over and over again, which really doesn’t allow for too much of a performance. It better build to something good once he’s free, because right now the main villain of Stranger Things isn’t scary, and that seriously sucks.
