Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the finale of Stranger Things 4! What are your predictions for Season 5?




BTW, YT is still being weird about comments on ST things videos, so just be aware there may be a delay in your comment showing up!

Max is in a coma but she’s not dead yet. Vecna/001 technically “killed” Max. Lucas mentions that her heart stopped for one minute and that’s how the portal opened and why the clock chimed four times. But Eleven somehow saves her. At the hospital Eleven goes into Max’s mind but can’t find her. It’s just empty. In the massacre scene 001 told eleven that the kids are not dead but still in his head. Papa also mentions how 001 consumes the people he kills. My theory is that Max’s consciousness/soul is in his head and if he’s defeated all the captured souls escapes. Since Max’s body is still intact her soul has a place to come back too, while the others can’t be saved because their bodies are completely destroyed.

I feel like Dustin rolling an 11 while playing D&D and losing to vecna in the game was a foreshadowing to eleven not being strong enough. But then Erica rolling an 20 and winning is potentially a foreshadowing of eleven needing the others help since she won't be able to kill him alone. Eleven being the 11 of course and the others Will, Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Nancy, Steve, Robin, Jonathan, Joyce and Hopper needs to be the missing 9.. But since they are 10 I think one of them will die

RIP Eddie...
Your sacrifice will be missed.
“I didn’t run this time...”
Your a hero....

[laniezarro]

I hope they do more with Will. I want to know why he’s still connected to Vecna and what significance he has. Surely Vecna knows that Will is still connected, right? Since the 2nd season with everything that started happening to Will after he escaped the upside down, I’ve been hoping he would get powers or be the hero. I mean come on, out of everyone that got sucked into the upside down in season one, he was the only one to somehow survive. He even survived being possessed in season 2 by the mindflare. I think they’ve put a lot of emphasis on Eleven being the hero, but have the secret weapon in the background; its Will, it has to be! When they play DnD, he is the cleric…now I don’t know much about that game, but from what I looked up, this is the description of that role: “Clerics are skilled in the use of divine magic. Clerics are powerful healers due to the large number of healing and curative magics available to them. With divinely-granted abilities over life or death, they are also able to repel or control undead creatures. Clerics also have specific 'domains' which usually align with the character's alignment... Whether the cleric repels or controls undead is dependent on the cleric's alignment.” I think *alignment* being the key here. He’s been in the back of the team so far. In season 3 & 4 they made Will seem kind of weak emotionally with him being sad about his friends not playing with him, everyone getting into relationships except him, and his feelings for Mike. Even that painting he made for Mike, he put himself way off into the backline of the depicted fight. Maybe the show writers did that on purpose to make Will seem like an unlikely choice to essentially “win the game” for everyone. With DnD being the theme of the show and how much emphasis they’ve put on that game (his disappearance was even told/predicted by the game in the first episode), it only makes sense for him to finally be put in the frontline and use his power to somehow control and defeat Vecna. The show started with Will being the first one to be targeted by Vecna, so it needs to end with Will fighting him. Those are my thoughts anyway.

Side note; If you go back and watch season 1 when Will first sees a demagorgon in the road before he falls off his bike, it didn’t have the flower bulb shaped head demagorgons have…it kinda looked like Vecna. 🧐

[Threshermaw]

so vecna will look like a dragon next time? nancy said in her vision "a giant creature with a gaping mouth" and the drawing done by will...would tie in lovely with the d&d creatures

[lathantate]

I definitely think time travel is going to be a thing in season 5. At the end of season 4 volume two Nancy's mom hands her a box with some of her things in it. One of them being her stuffed animals Mr. Bunny. But earlier in the season Nancy explains to Robin how she had given Mr. Bunny to her cousin, meaning Mr. Bunny shouldn't be there unless they somehow ended up going back in time.

[Chrissybrit]

One thing I am certain of, Mike is not the heart, he never has been, it’s always been Will. It’s always been Will trying to keep the group together, lead them into battle through D&D and hold them together outside of the game. Will is the heart. The story began when he was taken, and it will end with him, I think he could have some untapped powers that could equal to or be greater than El’s power, which they can use to work together to defeat Vecna. El can’t win alone.

[glennchaerle]

Will's connection to Vecna reminds me of the connection between Harry Potter and Voldemort. Look for Will to play a key role in Season 5 to defeat Vecna. As said in this video, Eleven will need help to defeat Vecna and cannot do it alone. This would also be a great character arc for Will, since he has been a victim instead of a hero throughout the first four seasons.

[gillesnotard]

I feel like the 4 victims of Vecna being the Four Horsemen is really close to what we had.
- Chrissy was the head cheerleader, in a relationship with the head athlete and popular boy, and Vecna taunted her with her mother, it's not unrealistic to think she had eating disorder, making her a fit for Famine.
- Fred was involved in a car accident which killed an other student, Vecna taunted her about him being a murderer, it's not the clearest one but he seems like a liar and a hypocrite to me, toxic behaviour could fit for Pestilence.
- Patrick was an athlete who died seconds before making it to Eddy's boat, considering the athletes were at war with the Hellfire Club, he fits War.
- Max was tormented and even felt guilty about Billy's death, she even thought she deserved to die, she fits Death.

[Katherine-epms]

Honestly I think the Duffer Brothers are absolutely genius, and amazing storytellers! I can’t wait for season five and all their future projects!

[mordaciousfilms]

Will definitely has some significence we don't really know yet. It's why he was initially targeted, why he was targeted AGAIN in S2, and why he remains connected to Vecna even now. I'd love the show to explore his character a bit more. I think Season 3/4 had Will take a backseat to other characters' archs.

[angelafahlenkamp]

All I known is that I think I'll bawl my eyes out in season 5 when they all read Max's letters she wrote before Vecna took her 😥

[owoAngiie]

Will isn't embarrassed to tell Mike he made the painting, he's in love with him; so he's worried. So, since Mike wanted advice to help El, Will portrayed his emotions to have El's name, when in reality, he was talking about his own feelings. Not El's.

[amanms]

This finale really had an Empire Strikes Back vibe, especially with ending where the villains win and the heroes are at their weakest spot.
Luke undergoing training with Yoda similar to the whole Project Nina thing (even the scene where Eleven lifts that chamber totally parallels Luke trying to lift the X-wing).

Luke leaving the training to face Vader despite Yoda warning that he's not ready yet, just like how Eleven ran off to face Vecna despite Brenner claiming that she's not ready yet, only for Luke/Eleven to face defeat under Vader/Vecna.

It ends with Han Solo being captured by the Empire and frozen in Carbonite, kinda like how ST ends with Max in a coma.

Even their story structures are kinda similar, with the heroes being separated for the majority of the story (Luke/Eleven undergoing training while Han & Leia/the Hawkins gang are fighting the Empire/Vecna)

[briobrandon]

These kids were acting for their life man!! The storyline merging were so well done!

[jimbobeire]

Brenner never explained how he knew that Henry ' consumed ' his victims. He must have found out something about how Henry took his mother and sister, or perhaps he had previously killed another one of Brenner's prisoners, leading to Brenner putting that thing in his neck.

[daddy-warfunk]

Kind of surprised that one of the biggest pieces of foreshadowing wasn't even mentioned They did the flashback several times to El and Kali in the Rainbow room. The significance of that scene wasn't just because it's a strong memory that El had of her mother, it was also the reminder that Kali is still out there. I find it hard to believe that they would establish a character like Kali that had such a strong impact on El, and then just forget about her. I don't think they did and I think she'll back.

[jpfilms]

Eddies death was so sad and I think they made it too obvious he was gonna die. Also I think the way he died was obviously sad and tragic but a little bit silly. He didn’t have to go out and buy more time cause the bats were still trying to break in and thought him and Dustin were still inside. Hopefully next season they actually show the other characters mourning him cause it was literally just Dustin and Mike didn’t seem to care at all. Don’t get me wrong I loved the season but Eddies death was too much 🙁

[Bluhaj]

I think Eddie might come back as Kas (a D&D character). This is because Kas is a vampire and Eddie was killed by bats. He also had an iconic shield and sword, Eddies’s favourite weapon was his spiked shield. Eventually Kas, who was made Vecna’s general, betrays him. Perhaps that is Eddies last move against Vecna as well…
