Gaten spoiled Stranger Things 4 Ending in 2016

[@eureka0521]

It's actually insane how accurate that theory was. The way he explains it literally feels like he's flat out spoiling the story lmao

[@worldview6218]

I’m not entirely sure that the duffer brothers didn’t just wing it and take what was a really awesome theory and make it realistic. I only say that because we’ve seen them basically drop an entire story arc like el meeting her psychic sister or whatever and I don’t really think they introduced her character to only turn around and drop that and never divulge how she even got out, and just moved onto the eventual one they’d set on with one being the main villain and ignoring that this version sort of contradicts something they did earlier. I think the idea that a fan unintentionally trying to guess a theory of what’s going on inadvertently making that a route the show went wayy cooler then just someone accurately coming up with a good theory

It's actually such a brilliant theory, it's no wonder the writers took off with it.

Bro they look like they were born just yesterday. I feel bad for Nancy’s actor, just barely fitting in 😂

[@AJ11OH-IO]

They wouldn't have known the plot back then since it was never written and the possibility of the show failing and never getting this many seasons. I believe this was a fan theory

I like how gaten doesn't have to break character he is the same person from stranger things

I tend to disregard these instances as reaches or stretches in order to gain views, but this was surprisingly spot-on. I guess the Duffer Brothers really did have this idea all along. Good on them.

[@AstroERLC]

The person who made that fan theory must of been hired to write the story of season 4 😂

[@Werdna999]

Dustin didn’t spoil anything. They wrote the rest of the series based off his genius!

[@radoria2030]

It really shouldn't come as some huge surprise there were others. Her name is Eleven, not One. I'm just wondering if they're gonna tie the final season in with that one episode in the 2nd season with all those 'freaks.' I'm only curious because they seem to have completely abandoned that story arc, and with good reason, because that episode sucked compared to everything else they've done with the franchise.

[@TheDoVErN]

Even the name One would imply there's at least someone called Two

[@realtalktime3920]

I always assumed that the episode with the "freaks" was an attempt at a backdoor pilot and if the character had caught on they would've made a spin-off with them.

[@shalaysingletary8965]

Let's get this clear, Gaten couldn't of "spoiled" anything because the cast members don't get there script until a little before they start to record. Seeing how young there were the writers would never had gave them the scripts for season 4 so early (tried to explain as best as I can, but usually I know they don't give the scripts to the actors because actors could spoil, there all basically blind of what's going to happen)

The S4 we all saw is not the same S4 we were going to get pre-covid.

How do you know?

[@RedVoteRedemption]

@@Sleepy_asfff “I’ll just say the pandemic definitely massively delayed shooting and therefore the launch of our current Season 4, date still TBD. But it impacted very positively by allowing the Duffer brothers, for the first time ever, to write the entire season before we shoot it and to have time to rewrite in a way that they rarely had before so the quality of these screenplays are exceptional, maybe better than ever.” from the executive producer, Shawn Levy. It’s been said…

[@CS-lk2wg]

@@RedVoteRedemption that doesn’t mean they changed the plot. They had footage of eleven from back when she was 11 or 12 in this season from when they started the show so I don’t think they changed the plot.

[@HoDoBoDo]

So I have 2 theories for this specific theory. 1. Gaten is reading out a fan theory that he liked, and somehow this theory entirely predicted ST S4 2. The theory is completely speculation, and the writer's loved it so much that they decided to make it canon and change what they initially had (that's if it wasn't the fan theory).

[@denusklausen3685]

First off if you have seen Elfen Lied you get a better grip of where stranger things is/was going. Secondly having a test-subject be named "eleven" should make anyone who is not a kindergartner suspect that there probably were/is previous or concurring test-subjects and that they didn't choose the number eleven arbitrarily. Some people haven't heard of Chekov's gun and it shows. Then how would you know they were banished to the upside down? Well it was a good guess but to make the numbers relevant in any way it would either have them show up as villains: either as brainwashed government pawns (boring) or as monsters corrupted by the upside down (correct), or alternatively as more help against future and more powerful enemies (like a sort of power scaling for the kids).
