I honestly, HONESTLY hope they stay away from time travel. Time travel, if done poorly (and it's easy to do poorly), tends to tear plot to shreds. Not just that, "Going back and preventing it before it all started" is also a horrible way to end a show, on par with "It was all a dream" in my opinion.

And rightfully so most people in his high school thought Johnathan was weird and rumors spread that he killed Will, obviously they don’t know what we know so Steve believed the rumors. And Johnathan did take pictures of Steve and Nancy where having sex while he was creepily watching, we know that Johnathan was there looking for clues on Wills disappearance but through Steve’s eyes he thinks Johnathan is a pervert and creep so he smash’s Johnathans Camera. The only bad thing Steve did was believe in rumors and he wasn’t that much of dick tbh he was more self-centered then a dick 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Amins88]

I thought they already entertained this plot point in season 4 with the whole Jane thinking she's a monster thing and just whisked it away pinning it all on Vecna. If they do bring it up again, it'll just feel repetitive and her whole introspection will have been pointless.

[@Lisa-so4dj]

I think Will will finally play a major role in the final season. He was kinda neglected the last seasons. It started with him and will end with him. He has a very strong bond to the Upside Down as mentioned in the latest season and I think Vecna will use his misunderstood character as a benefit in some way and will maybe turn him against his own friends and family. I would even say 001 and Will have similarities like being considered weird and different. Furthermore I think 011 will be the heroine.

[@hoodlum_kate]

Actually we’ve forgot a tiny little detail of Will’s disappearance. After we see the figure on the road, he comes back to the house right? And closes the door…and then the door chain moving (telepathically) so it means that it was Vecna from the very beginning! Aaand If Will Would’ve been taken by Demogorgon he would die immediately like Barb did, but we saw absolutely different situation. So Will was in Vecna’s plan all along and more likely to turn bad again.

[@dannymain8993]

I took it as Will was survived because he kept signing his favourite song, which is what saved Max.

[@sprocket0077]

They’d better not undo the events of the show via time travel at the end. That would completely and utterly gut the show and destroy rewatch value. A cartoon called Trollhunters helmed by Guillermo Del Toro ended with the protagonist going back in time and not only was it an affront to viewers, but it completely destroyed the good will the show had built up over 6 seasons. “Do over” endings are weak, and weak endings are a good way to obliterate a fan base.

[@Projektblackacid]

I'm thinking Will might end up becoming the final antagonist. Since him and Vecna are connected since season 1, that may lead to Vecna possibly using Will as a host or something like that. That would definitely bring more attention to Wills character, which I feel they definitely want to try to do in season 5.

the annoying thing about will becoming a host for Vecna (again) is that it strips him of his agency and puts him firmly into more of plot-device territory, which is what has been done to him for the past 3 seasons (since he was barely in the fourth one). I think a more interesting path for his character is to give him actual autonomy instead of turning him into a puppet again. But hey, as long as he has an actual role in the story again I won't be picky pft

I, personally, really loved the Kali episode. I understood her plight and it really got me invested in the lore of the lab and what could have happened with the other numbers. I also think the journey was so important for El’s development, getting to have agency in where she went and choosing to go back to her family. For a child who had no freedom her whole life and no ability to choose peace or violence. I hope Kali comes back for s5

[@meredithwhite5790]

[@unhelpfulrevelations7989]

Canonically retconning the chernobyl disaster into upside-down related fuckery is tasteless and it probably won't happen lol. What's more likely I think, is that since a similar large-scale unfathomable disaster has happened within hawkins at the end of S4, the occurance of another disaster on the other side of the world will add more believability and nuance to hawkin's stream of apocalyptic events, as civillians simply chalk it up to 'living in strange times'. Maybe the general public will even start to theorize that something nuclear-related is going on in the town, and was the cause of the earthquake, or the unusual weather seen at the end of S4. It wouldn't be a stretch either, since bombs set off earthquakes all the time, and nuclear winter looks pretty similar to the upside-down's weather.

[@zoramathews]

I saw an interview where the Duffer brothers said season 5 will be set in Hawkins having the original cast coming back together rather than having so many different locations like in the last seasons. They also said no more new characters and that “Max’s coma is incredibly relevant to season 5”.

The other thing that got me about Kali/008 is she (so far as we've been shown or stated in the show) the only one that cast illusions in people's minds. All the other kids are telekinetics. 11 has telepathy and telekinesis like 001.

They've less gone away more made it less obvious for example...El is kas(not Eddie) At the beginning of the season in the dnd game Eddie says vecna is still alive injured his left eye and his hand and everyone is shocked and says "kas killed him" then in EP 9 we see when Henry is wandering the upside down one of his eyes is burned and as good as gone and even with the hive mind you can distinctly see a difference in his hands as if the shadow monster hive mind merge fixed his injured hand. In EP 7 El helps Henry, and is kinda his right hand man or at least vecna wants her to be but El "kills" Henry/vecna/001 we all think kas(El) killed him, them they roll an 11 and it's not enough 11 alone can't kill him they needed all 20 or 22 or how ever many are in the party to rid vecna or at least momentarily stop him

[@BladesOfMunch]

I just sat here going... "Hm. 11 + 8 + 1 = 20"... Wondering if those numbers have any significance at all to the plot.

[@thomasc9248]

Yeah I interpreted that also that way. Row foreshadowed the ending of S4. El being Kas and that vecna did not entirely die by Kas/Els hands. Rolling 11 meant that she isn't enough too defeat him again or rather finally. The 20 is probably the man power in numbers at the end. Having 4 to 5 in Russia and I counted around 15 people in the US, so that would make sense.

My favourite ET reference is the Flip. Of course, we know El can make things fly, and movies love to imitate the scene where ET makes the kids fly off, but of course, it wouldn't be Stranger Things if they just copied it. No, instead, they made us think they would, just to then make the scene their own.

[@RamenCupBMG]

the best et reference was they were riding on the bikes and instead of making the bikes fly like et, they flip the vans that were chasing them. the show should've just been an anthology. mainly because the title makes way more sense as an anthology

As soon as season 3 ended, I was amazingly intrigued at the choice of location for hopper's location within Siberia seeing as how Kamchatka is home to the second most intense earthquake in recorded history. I unfortunately forgot which year it happened and expected it to happen on screen, and I feel really kinda dumb for that assumption, but it was actually in the 50s.

[@onetwoeightfoursevenonetwo9]

Holy cow!!! I have the same theory!!! My Theory: The upside down is stuck on Will's birthday, which indicates that Vecna has the ability to stop time in the upside down. Vecna can also show future events. But if Vecna has the ability to control time, Eleven should have the same ability as well. When the glass coke bottle scene occurred at the end of Vol. 2, the spinning clockwise represented the hands on the clock. Any time Eleven is seen with a Coca Cola can, she's exhibiting the use of her power. Like a normal clock, the hands can turn clockwise or counter-clockwise. We've seen events where characters have gone back in the past, specifically to see Henry Creel's young self in Vol.2. My prediction is that I think Eleven will go back in time using her mind and destroy the grandfather clock that Henry Creel began using when he was a boy. This would prevent future events, the upside down merging with the real world, and all characters killed throughout in the series.

Earlier this week I decided to re-watch from the beginning and I had forgotten just how much of an ass Steve was in the first season since it's so far from the Steve we see in Seasons 3 & 4. I am glad changes were made to his character as Steve & Dustin have become my favourite duo. I hope they stay away from time travel it's just too easy to do it badly and cause a lot of holes in the storyline. If someone were to go back in time and stop 001 from being banished to the upside down so that none of the other things would happen in Hopkins the whole 5 seasons we have watched will have been for nothing because none of it would have happened which would be incredibly annoying. I'm not sure Eleven will end up being the last villain but I do think there's a strong possibility that she will have to die in order for the upside down to either be closed off or cease to exist

Another iceberg thing about hellfire: the part in which the club is called satanic and such is very logical for the time.

I think Eleven will heal the rip between both worlds. It would totally suck if turns bad primarily because she didn’t want anything to do with Henry’s plans for a world they could control. She now has healing powers and I think this isn’t exclusive to Max or the rip Henry created. I think she will directly help all members of the main characters. She’s helped heal Hopper by giving him a second chance with a daughter he lost. She continues to fight evil unselfishly risking her own life. She’s in a sense a cure to the virus that is ripping her loved ones lives apart.

I gave in the other day and finally started watching stranger things for the very first time promising myself in the past I would wait for every season too come out because when I watch a show I wanna watch it all so I blocked out any talk about it for so long and finding out season 5 is dropping in *2 years* I broke and decided it’s time but I am bitter sweet disappointed because I love this show so much and the binge has too be stopped soon cause welp season 5 is awhile away that won’t stop me from re watching 1-4 now for the next *2 years* lol

[@zoramathews]

Lol I just decided today to rewatch all 4 seasons until 5 comes out. There’s a ton of Easter eggs and things to pay attention to anyway so it’ll be good to have more of the story while reviewing old seasons before 2024!

Duffer brothers confirmed SE5 will have a time jump to explain how the characters have aged over the years

[@isabeltorres8903]

I actually really like the lost sister episode 😅

[@lillymurray8408]

There’s going to be a new stranger things show that has to do with season 5. The duffer brothers confirmed this. So the time travel thing wouldn’t make sense if the new series has to do with season 5. Unless they are going back in time to before any of this happened? Not sure that would make sense though since 11 created the upside down when she sent 001 into it.

[@Swampunrendered]

Wasn’t confirmed that season five is gonna have a time skip since the actors are a lot older then their onscreen characters

[@radagast7200]

Hounds of Tindalos should be on there. I think that's what the first season was inspired by. Also, I think the shows name come from a story called "Pickman's Model'.

[@phillyredsox]

If 11 becomes the final villain she better have a Vecna style transformation.

[@johannes6380]

In my honest and completely personal opinion: it should have been an anthology series or at least introduce some way different elements by season two or three. I feel like everything after season one that directly change or retcon things just make the whole show worse. For me this is especially apparent in season four with the "one all along" shit.

[@helsphoenix2623]

I hope Eleven becomes evil in season 5. :D Will too. How tragic would that be?

[@lavenderchants6014]

Okay, so what if Eleven decides to sever the connection between Vecna and the Mind Flayer to turn Vecna back into Henry somehow, but in the process she is possessed by the Mind Flayer and becomes Dark Pheonix until she sacrifices herself to save everyone else?

[@jaredrobinson7071]

eight had better not show up in the final season. She was a shit character, with a bad actress, bad storyline, bad resolution, just bad everything. The episode itself doesn't even make sense and the writers know it that's why they have barely mentioned it again. Bringing back eight will only ruin whatever episode she is in.

[@OG_Orly_OG]

*finally gets onto something not completely obvious and boring* “and that’s where we’ll end today’s iceberg video” 😐

[@gman248]

The upside down text at 17:53 "Characters do not regain any hit points.... Magical healing still works". Could we bring Eddie back with magic? :D

[@DayNardd]

Eleven brought Max back 🤷‍♀️

[@JazzyB9481]

Based on the D&D character Vecna, someone (Eddie, Will, Kali, El) would have to play the role of Vecna's right-hand man and betray him at the last minute. But I don't think the Duffer Brothers will copy that same storyline since it wouldn't be a surprise to fans. But they still might. They basically said they copy the storylines of Star Wars too, and season 4 was their Empire Strikes Back..so season 5 would be their Return of the Jedi (?) Would be an interesting idea to explore in another video

[@gabriellethompson501]

I believe El is Kas. One did some what recrute her and then she turned on him and killed him

[@klsit3528]

kas? el, as she already kind of did that prior to her banishing him.

[@calebwasylyniuk1431]

To anyone who still thinks season one was the best season you dead wrong it just keeps getting better season by season

[@eireduchess]

The Eddie/Kas theory is one I’m very fond of. Though I know in my heart it would cheapen Eddie’s sacrifice, but to have him brought back as a mind controlled ‘puppet’ of Vecna next season (until presumably the power of love and or friendship brings him back) would be something to see

[@fsmfiat]

Literally in season 4 when Dustin was calling in a phone booth you could see and E.T. reference

[@chikachika7782]

I think it would've been cool to switch up the cast every season but keep the upside down constant. While I love the cast, and it would've been weird it could have been other members of Hawkins. Like the science teacher, etc. Then have everyone slowly come together.

Bikes were a massive deal in the 80s. BMX bikes were huge back then and every kid wanted one or had one. You'll see any 80s movie like Goonies, ET , Rad etc. All featured bikes. BMX bikes were as much of any 80s childhood as He-man, hair spray, Cyndi Lauper and Star Wars action figures.

Im be honest i love metal and i habent listed to master of puppets in so fucking long bc i underestimated it but when it came up in the show i was like holy shit

[@chipsalom]

Let's keep in mind with the 30 page upside down paper, Steve was supposed to stay an asshole, the series was originally an anthology, etc. There is nothing that says anything in the 30 pages is like a Bible that's set in stone. I'd assume it informs the Duffer's writing, less than that it's any kinda guide. They'll shape things in the upside down around the story and vice versa as needed.

[@pecnil]

too add onto the xmen theory, in the very first episode Will wanted “X-Men #134” which is also a book in the dark phoenix saga

[@stephenwhaley454]

You reference of "bad guys" in the MK Ultra segement needs to just be stated as Nazis lol thats what the "Bad guys" were.
