There's More To Hopper's Stranger Things Sword Than You Thought

The strangest thing in "Stranger Things" might just be the story of how a small-town police chief used a sword to kill a monster in a Russian prison, but there's more to this moment than meets the eye. How did this prop help David Harbour get into barbarian mode? Warning – spoilers ahead.

What were your thoughts on the sword being present?

“Jim Hopper” is the name of the character Arnold went to look for in Predator, but was skinned alive.

thats not just any old sword, thats THE Sword.

They should have played the Anvil of Crom when he picked up Conan's sword.

Crom teleported Hopper Conan’s Atlantean Sword. Battle pleases Crom after all.

Thank you for talking about this, my dad and I freaked out when we saw this in the show and nerded the f*ck out.

How easily Hopper decapitated the Demogorgon? Hopper put every bit of strength in that swing. If it was a baseball bat he would have hit a 500 foot homerun with that swing. I got totally geeked out when I saw it though.

[VooDoo-oh]

The sword is also symbolic of an Orthodox guardian angel's sword and icon. Thus, Stranger Things has Orthodox undertones like Dostovesky has Orthodox subtexts.

I saw directly that it was conans sword. The 80s were the best!

Nahh this sword is a hint. This is going to be the sword of kas. Eddie will come back as kas and that will be his sword that is called the sword of kas in d&d.
