He's also a massive hypocrite. He goes on his cringe, misanthropic rant, saying how terrible people are and how they change their environment for the worst and live dull lives, but then he goes to this new world, untouched world, and what does he do...he completely changes it for the worst to reflect his own innate desolation and malevolence, while he sits in the centre of it like some tumor, doing nothing with his newfound freedom and power except making the world worse.

[@derrellarthur4604]

I love the fact they had Robert Englund on board. Having him explain the story of this nightmare villain. And he played the iconic Freddy Krueger. Was pure genius by the show writers.

[@LakshyaSaxenaTheBest]

Great video, few insights I'd like to share. 1. The First Shadow play reveals that Henry actually got his powers from the Mind Flayer. It'd be interesting to see who they reveal as the ultimate villain in season 5, Vecna or the Mind Flayer. Vecna believes it has been him all along, but could be revealed that the Mind Flayer is the real villain of the show after seeing how the play sets things up. 2. The place where El sent Henry was not the Upside Down. It was an inter-dimensional space called "The Hellscape". Later, when he shaped the particles into a giant spider (the MF), that place is called Dimension X. This is mentioned in the official script of the final episode. Still not sure whether Dimension X is a separate dimension from the Upside Down or just a pre-historic version, looking forward to this being explored in season 5 ! 3. Vecna also probably already had powers to astral project and he could obviously read people's minds. The only power he obtained from El (via the hive mind connection ) when the monster bit her in season 3 was her unique ability to open gates ! Also it's crazy that we're just around 1 year away from season 5 !! I can't wait, but I also don't want it to end, bc idk what I'm gonna do with my life after Stranger Things ends lol 😭😭

[@calpal6249]

The First Shadow play goes into more detail on Henry’s origin. Even hinting to how he got his powers. Brenner and his motivations along with the Mind Flayer. If you can catch it in London I highly recommend. It’s pretty much like a two episode prequel.

[@racheljackson4428]

fascinating.

[@Benita445]

It's coming to Broadway next year.

[@stevechamberlain8286]

I saw it earlier this year. Fantastic production values, especially the opening act. I'm fairly convinced it will have little effect on Season 5 as not everyone can see it and anything we need to understand Season 5 will no doubt be included in an episode somewhere to get people up to speed. It does flesh out Hawkins during the era of Vecna's flashback and show you what the adult characters in the current time were doing then. Interesting to see the parallels between the teens in both times

[@Finding_Peace90]

[@Mindflaer]

He doesn’t control the mind flayer, in the stage play it is shown the the mind flayer is what corrupted him, and in the vr game it is shown that the mind flayer is just using vecna to fulfill its own goals. All vecna did was give it a new look. Also in the vr game the mind flayer says, “ I have already consumed the minds of all who live here.” It is saying that every thing it has interacted with became part of the hive mind. Sorry I went on a little bit of a rant, I’m just tired of people thinking vecna created, or controls it when in the prequel stuff we are giving the opposite is true.

[@flox6762]

are those games officially canon or canon-like?

[@anthonyhudak9363]

Not knowing the outcome of season 5, I kinda wish the Mind Flayer is still the big bad. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy Vecna as a villain, but I genuinely found the Mind Flayer as a better final boss since it embodies the eldritch elements of the Upside Down whereas Vecna started as a human which sort of detracts the horror for me. When Dustin labeled him Vecna as its' 5 star general I thought that was really cool. Also could you do a horror history on Minus One Godzilla or the Creeper?

[@ParkerCS2]

Yeah the mind flayer is a better overarching villain. By the way, the Vr game and first shadow prequel play are both said to be canon according to the duffers.

[@alyssajackson7913]

I disagree bc the mind flayer is just a shadow. It has no control over anyone unless someone like a human is behind it. How I see it, the real monsters and manipulators are humans. Humans most likely control an object that doesn’t have a mind of its own. When Henry was sent to the Upside Down, there were cloudy particles known as the shadow. He formed a shape of a spider and it was called the mind flayer. So, I believe Vecna is the mind flayer bc he’s in control. He’s able to control everything like the creatures and the vines. With Vecna being the main villain, it makes sense bc why just believe some random monsters are going after Eleven without a purpose? This is why I enjoyed season 4 as much as I with season 1 they gave more of a purpose to why the creatures from an alternate dimension are going after Eleven. Someone who’s human or use to be human is behind the plan to target her. Vecna is going after her for revenge. He wants to make her suffer for rejecting him after recruiting her to go on his killing spree and for sending him to an alternate dimension

[@littlesmallworld123]

The Creeper from Jeepers Creepers is controversial to cover. The director of those movies is a convicted child predator so people generally don't want to give any support or breakdown for the movies.

[@RX-12]

It is, the stage play confirms the Mind Flayer was controlling Henry and not the other way around.

[@ParkerCS2]

@@RX-12 exactly it mutated his blood and occasionally took over his body. It was ironically the so called “demon” that Victor Creel thought was haunting his house because in reality virgina knew it was her son who was causing the strange stuff by whatever was giving him his powers which was the Flayer entity/force that originated from the other dimension dimension X (the former name of the upside down) that infected him when Henry was trapped for several hours there when he accidentally got transported to it when bumping into the scientist and his machine while exploring the caves of Navada and the device malfunctioned.

[@ParkerCS2]

I don’t know why people believed Henry created the Mind Flayer. It and the Upside down were already a superorganism and hive mind with The Flayer as the initial queen bee / power source / brain of the dimension. Like a mix between a Queen Xenomorph, the Energon from Transformers, The Thing from The Thing, and with a bit of Cthulhu, something beyond understanding and possibly existed before the birth of our universe and before time and space itself. HP Lovecraft is definitely another inspiration of the Stranger Things franchise besides Stephen King.

I like the video but the information from the Play (which aparently canon) alot of things change to his character like the kids (mkultra experiments) actually getting the powers from his blood and Henry being in the Upside Down before they moved to Hawkins.

[@ParkerCS2]

Yeah the play is confirmed by the Duffers to being canon as well as the VR game. The VR game also shows Henry directly meeting The Flayer versus when he was a kid he was merely exposed to and infected by a different part of it, and it actually attempting to communicate and decides to create the Shadow Brenner form since as it’s an alien intelligence it’s the only real way of physically communicating because Henry was one of the first human lifeforms it had ever contacted with besides the transportation of the SS Eldridge and all the crew getting killed by demogorgons while Brenner’s father was merely brutally injured and got infected slightly by “The Shadow” as he called it during his death bed and was mildly mutated, which resulted in Brenner wanting to study and find a way to reach dimension X, which eventually led to creating his test subject program especially when Henry got mutated and became superpowered.

Two steps ahead, I am always two steps ahead. This has been the greatest social experiment I've come to know, certainly the greatest of my entire life. It's alluring, It's compelling. It's gripping to bear witness to observe all these unwell, unbalanced, disoriented beings roam the internet in search of stories. In search of...ideas. Of conflict, of rivalries. Where people develop a distinctive desire for direct engagement where people feel involved with the stories and therefore become product of influence. Thirsty for distraction, from time spent from lackluster lifestyles spoiling their minds while stimulating at the exact same time. It's brilliant, but it's also dangerous. It's dangerous. I feel as if my life has been positioning to where I'm monitoring ants, on a ant farm. One follows another... follows another... follows another. It's, it's mesmerizing, it's enthralling, it's spellbinding. just look at all these consumers, all of these lost and bored people, consuming anything that they're told to consume. I am the villain. I make myself one, and people will consume these stories year after year after year. Stories that, the stories that shock, that confuse, stories that are deliberately made to blur the boundaries between fact and fiction. Stories that permeate, infect, and linger. In the minds of the ants. Influence the ants, brainwash the ants. You, are the ant. I woke this morning to money deposited into my account for simply not doing something. For simply going through with something. People are the most fucked up creatures on this planet. And you will continue to consume and I'll continue to be two steps ahead. Today, I thought it would be a splendid idea to go out and get some food. Gee, are you surprised? Have you forgotten the story? Are you not paying attention? After all you're here to consume, are you not?
