The crescendo at the end killed me man. S4 went above and beyond the limit of previous stranger things seasons. Everything from cinematography, sound design, music choice and so much more. This season topped stranger things and I don't know if it's possible to make another season that can do better than this one. EP9 was absolutely made to be seen in a cinema.

[@lazy5oul]

I thought of same its worth seeing in Cinemas.

Facts

[@GuideToVibe]

@Lialexen no

[@spigwt4586]

@Lialexen 3 isnt even close lmao

[@hopelesslyoptimistic8231]

@Lialexen yeah season 3 is the best. This season is basically neck and neck with season 3 but it’s all comes down to preference. Season 3 is more favorite because it was more colorful and the cinematography was way more creative (the cool transitions were everywhere in S3). Season 4 is more gray and still but it has a better story than s3. They are equals.

[@RemusNeo]

What a scene that was!

[@DubABattery]

Now it's turning into a survival series now. Mixed with horror and stuff. I wonder how far Vecna will have advanced by the setting time of Stranger things 5

[@imjustademogorgon7141]

Yeah!

[@lionardl1604]

What was the scene? There are many.

[@DubABattery]

@@lionardl1604 Duh, the ending. The only time this version plays when they look at the storm

[@JaCob_101_]

​@@DubABattery due to the time gap i could see the season beginning with them in groups attempting to survive the apocalyptic event of the Upside Down taking over Hawkins, and probably spreading all through Indiana roughly a year or two later although maybe more. I wish we got a post credits scene of Vecna retreating and unveiling a huge army of Demogorgons, and other crap with the Mind Flayer in the background. Nevertheless, something similar could happen towards the begining of the season. I guess the Main Characters will probably stay in Hawkins as they know they are the only way to defeat the Upside Down.

[@sypeartz3469]

When this theme played at the end episode 9, we knew that season 5 will be an Endgame. The battle between good and evil begins here

[@jordan4835]

there is no good or evil,just choices.😅 I didn't quote that right...

[@quinzerrak4975]

So, do you think the USA, the USSR & pretty much the whole world will unite together to defeat the Upside Down?

[@titansshallreturn5894]

[@21toadian]

We are in the Endgame now

[@sankalpyadav1926]

Isn't it the case everywhere

[@LovelessDogg1]

I’m willing to bet, Will’s painting in season 4 is foreshadowing of the final battle in season 5. A 3-headed beast that the 4 original boys will have to take on alone. The final campaign of the new Hellfire Club.

[@KingDoggo101]

I’ve never thought about that!

[@theaiochannel73]

That would be so cool!

[@cjg3496]

Question how powerful would this three headed beast would be? especially with the mind flayer and Henry put together? Because that’s the question.

[@user-nu5or1qy2q]

you mean the thessalhydra? And i think when Will showed Mike the painting he lied that it was Eleven who wanted to give it to him but it was himself cause he's gay ,so maybe Eleven will sacrifice herself and he will replace her as his boyfriend

[@ami679]

Three headed beast Head 1 : Vecna/Henry/001 Head 2 : Will Byers(or Eddie Munson) Head 3 : Max

This is the TV experience for our generation. It will likely be a long time until we see something like this again.

[@bigbluebeats3591]

Yeah like 15 years

[@giovannisalamon2706]

I'd say it's more like an event, the last one being MCU movies of the 10s culminating to Endgame (2019), and the one before that being the Hunger Games (2012-2015), etc.... These are the moments you are really waiting for the next sequel as you want to know how the story will resolve itself and are looking for that next release date.

[@SeverusSnapeIlove]

[@benreynoldds]

They need to release this version immediately. It gave me up and down chills and shows how the scale of the show has increased to such great heights since season 1 and sets the tone to show how epic of a finale we have in store for us with season 5.

[@phonepolice]

Really disappointed that this wasn't on the OST for Season 4. Such a great arrangement.

[@raptorprimal1077]

Agreed but glad this version is pretty good

[@azure113]

YES it’s this one and the papa death scene which was an orchestral reprisal of the Eleven track from season 1 and also fucking amazing

[@nova5265]

I mean technically it was, pretty much longer than your average movie

[@KingDoggo101]

@Hol M POV: 9 hours long 💀

[@flarestriker2005]

I mean it was 2h 22m in runtime.

[@jacobchapple6816]

It'd be awesome if, for the final season, they combined a full orchestra with the usual synths because that would really fit with Season 5's massive scope.

[@aidanmallon9879]

They have to do this

[@MoobyWiz]

It reminds me of the final battle between Aang and the Fire Lord on Avatar The Last Airbender. They got a full orchestra for that.

[@theautotunecat6005]

This needs to happen

[@vixiria2534]

They will, I just know it!! it’s gonna be SOO awesome

[@quinzerrak4975]

So, since by this point Stranger Things is essentially alternate history, do you think the USA, the USSR and the world will set aside all their ideological struggles and unite together against this new evil from beyond?

[@quinzerrak4975]

Sounds like it resembles Prophecies by Philip Glass a bit. Alluding to Vecna’s theme slightly.

[@hisuiansilverkid1336]

The fact that this isn’t in the album they made with the other songs of season 4 is infuriating

[@erauprcwa]

right?!?

[@quinzerrak4975]

Because it's too great to be included!

[@coldblackice]

Agreed, I was so confused after listening through the album wondering where this was, thinking there's no way it wouldn't be included. Just stunned that it wasn't. It's like ordering an expensive steak and potatoes at a restaurant, only they leave out the steak.

[@sfrb]

the OFFICIAL one is unreleased. Meaning when the official one releases, these songs will be included. The ones you see on KZbin are unofficial.

[@sfrb]

OK nvm I was wrong, these songs will be separate from the album i think

[@delaneywatters3780]

[@soundtreks]

that modulation at the climax is beautiful. Rob's involvement with ST:4 made it even more cinematic and this season in particular NEEDED this kind of emotional wallop that only orchestral music can deliver. Love it!

[@hisuiansilverkid1336]

2:50 - 3:40 more sinister. Consider it be perfect as opening theme for all episodes in Season 5.

[@Bup7]

I started watching stranger things last Tuesday and just finished today. I’m already sad the next season is the last. It just goes to show how emotionally connecting or whatever this show is. LESS THAN A WEEK! I feel confident saying this is the show of the century, but we still have a good 87 and a half years to make that decision.

[@JackHankeAnd]

More like 78 and a half

[@Bup7]

Excuse my bad math

[@vixiria2534]

I have to say, this scene really gave me chills. This season is definitely my favorite tbh, especially how the episodes lasted like 2 hours long. So much hard work. I just know that next season will be crazier…and all can be reunited.

2:41 Every demon, every evil spirit, every negative energy, and any and every supernatural antagonist, from any and every horror film ever, looks upon the series of chasms and columns of smoke with a terrible, horrible, realization.

[@thatvrdude1856]

Weirdly, this piece reminds me of the soundtrack of Spider-Man Into The Spiderverse. That soundtrack incorporated orchestral and rap/hip hop elements all rolled into one. This piece sort of does the same thing with orchestral mixed with synth. Incredible.

[@SolCresta3405]

We're in the endgame now.

[@kell_0741]

the trombonist in me appreciates this greatly - the string build up, the choir, the fading in and out trumpets and bones, the ghostly strings, and the french horns blowing it through the roof. 2:41 HOLY SHIT THE TROMBONES AND TUBA modulation, chord change, screaming french horns, low powerful low brass backing, the heavens open up with the choir then it fades. What an amazing theme

[@alexandrelaguna2725]

When the synths meet orchestra = eargasm. Not to mention a feel of GoT and TWD mixed with it all

[@PyrozPlayground]

Season 4 was a powerful one! Hands down the best one! And this orchestral piece really tied it all together. Chills!

[@luottoshipper]

Best version of the theme song, it just sounds like the end of the world

[@sanctonis5827]

Everyone talks about the last part of the song but the first half with the rising violins and general sense of dread in the tone is absolutely incredible, the visuals alone would not have told as much of a story as it did with this stunning track

[@FabianArisen]

Exactly the build up is amazing
