Stranger Things: what are the theories circulating on networks? – Cinema and TV – Culture

The last season of ‘Stranger Things’ came with two volumes, one of seven episodes and the second of two special episodesin which we follow the adventures of a group of young people in the fictional town of ‘Hawkins’, Indiana.

Since it premiered in 2016, the series has captured millions of fans around the world, enchanted by the powers of “Eleven” and the intrigue of two parallel worlds.

Each season has brought new characters and stories, with government conspiracies and a soundtrack reminiscent of the 80s. This time it returns with nine episodes and two different premieres, in addition, Netflix announced that they would have already approved a fifth and final season of the production.

Thousands of people have tuned in to the series since last May 27, when the last episodes came out, and many Internet users say that it is the most chilling season to date.

And, as is often the case, fan theories about the story have not been long in coming. Many are even sure that several of the main characters will die in the last season of ‘Stranger Things’.

The series is inspired by characters from the ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ role-playing game, both the ‘Demogorgon’ and ‘Mind Flayer’ and now ‘Vecna’ are mythical creatures from the board game. But with the events of the most recent installment, many fans have changed their understanding of the world that was created in ‘Hawkins’, Indiana.

‘Will’ is a villain from ‘Up Side Down’

Many see similarities between ‘Vecna’ and ‘Will’, which is why they assure that in the next installment of the series, which arrives in July, the character will become a villain. In addition, they have highlighted that at the beginning of the series, the young man is making a painting that looks like the alternate dimension.

On the other hand, viewers learned that ‘Vecna’ was a child before he became the monster that terrified children in ‘Hawkins’, who, like Will, could see the supernatural world.

The daughter of ‘Hopper’ is alive and ‘Eddie’ also has powers

A theory has emerged that ‘Hopper’s’ biological daughter did not die of cancer, as the story had previously been presented, but it could have been kidnapped by the doctor ‘Martin Brenner’, as happened with ‘Vecna’.

But not only that, the character of ‘Eddie Munson’ could be one of the children experimented on by doctor ‘Brenner’. In networks, many maintain that this can be verified because when the boys talk to him about the powers of “Eleven”, he was never surprised. That is why they believe that he could be one of the children that the doctor experimented on to force them to develop supernatural powers.

Does ‘Vecna’ look like ‘Voldemort’?

This theory is not so much narrative as explanatory. ‘Vecna’ is presented as a monster from ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ that is neither alive nor dead, and his soul is in an object. A situation very similar to the concept of the ‘horcruxes’ from ‘Harry Potter’ that ‘Voldemort’ used to revive.

As in the magic book series, in order to defeat ‘Vecna’ permanently, they must first destroy the object her soul is contained in.
It is worth clarifying that the first ‘Harry Potter’ book was published in 1997, while the famous role-playing game has existed since 1974. So it is possible that the inspiration was reversed.

Eddie will save ‘Nancy’ and ‘Steve’ will return to her

At the end of the seventh chapter of the fourth season, ‘Nancy Wheeler’ enters a trance caused by ‘Vecna’. But in the trailer for the season, ‘Eddie’ appears playing guitar in the Up Side Down.

But then there’s footage of ‘Steve’ and ‘Nancy’ kissing, so it’s still unclear what will happen between the three of them in the remaining two episodes of the season.

‘Vecna’ represents mental illness

This is not a theory either, but an interpretation, as many fans have argued that given the trauma and suffering that ‘Vecna’ experienced, the character is representative of mental illness and how they affect adolescents.

The truth is that there are still many unanswered questions. Ready to tune in for the season finale in July?
