Stranger Things was called out for "weak writing" in the recent volume where a scene reportedly resulted in the “lowest” rated episode.
Despite leading the previous four seasons, fans noted a reduced screen time of the 21-year-old actress.
Moreover, it appears that the Damsel lead had undergone fresh facial procedure which resulted in noticeable swelling and reduced facial expressions.
Soon after the part was launched on Netflix on December 25, 2025, the online community flood the internet with Millie’s meme of serving looks in every scene.
Fans on Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, Reddit and other social media platforms shared her resemblance with handsome Squidward from Spongebob and "Gigachad" memes.
Moreover, many netizens tried recreating her plumped lips look with raised eyebrows.
One of the X users shared their take on the trend with the caption: “Millie Bobby Brown makes this face for 90% of Stranger Things season 5.”
A critic poked fun at her looks in the new season that was filmed when she was just 20: “That lip filler has her in hades dawg come on.”
Meanwhile, many expressed their concerns for the young actress as they noted the adverse effects of beauty procedures in youngsters that are making them look older than their actual age.
However, the Enola Holmes star has previously shut down the criticism on her “older” appearance, pointing out that the “bullying” is something bigger than her as it affects “every young woman.”
