Ok so Stranger Things Season 4 ends with the biggest cliffhanger in the shows history. There's a storm coming and Season 5 is set to be the final entry of the Netflix phenomenon. All the pieces of the game are now on the board and we not only know who the villain is but we also know what they're after.

It also seems like they've won as well due to the doorway to hell being unleashed on Hawkins. We are told throughout season 4 that if he kills Max then the final sacrifice will be complete and he'll be able to unleash the dark dimension on the unsuspecting city.

This is why the gateway opens as technically he does kill her even though she's brought back.

That kinda takes me into my first theory which is that Vecna likely has Max's soul and getting it back will be the way to close the doorway.

Theory time is getting a little played out now though so we're completely scrapping that for this video and coming up with a totally new, unseen idea.

It's incredible how creative we are at the channel and it's hypothesis time, hypothesis time, hypothesis time.

Shoutouts riot gear for that one and I think that all of those that have died in the upside down might exist within Vecna in some way.

Huge thank you to Reddit user Ezra88 who pointed out that after Henry killed all the kids in the lab that he said they were weren't gone, they were there with him in his mind.

Very important line and this could hint at those that he kills being able to come back in some form or another. Now the most obvious person I think this would apply to is of course Max. When we last left her she was in a non responsive coma, stuck in a hospital bed. The doctors couldn't explain how she'd managed to come back to life and upon entering her mind El saw that it was about as empty as the Popes tinder account.

She's just not there but the fact that she's still ticking could mean that Vecna has taken her soul. Now I've already done a full video breaking down how Vecna might be inside her using her body as a Vessel to sustain his life after his last body's destruction.

I don't just wanna go over that but it will be linked on screen right now if you wanna see us break it down. Anyway if Max is inside Vecna's mind she could end up coming back to her body after his defeat. However, she could also potentially roam around in there and she may even come across the other kids from the lab that are trapped there too. All these psychic beings could end up teaming up with Eleven and it might actually lead to Vecna's downfall if they all work together to take him out.

There was this big section in the season where they talked about how Max managed to actually enter Vecna's mind at the creel house and this is how she escaped, hinting at this potentially coming back around.

Venca finally gave Stranger Things the one thing it needed for a while, an actual face and plan for the big bad guy.

[RamboA]

Argyle was the most important guy. If he didn't take eleven to the pizzeria kitchen, she wouldn't have faced vecna.

[wishonfallingstars]

Talking about Will, while I think yes, Will will be fundamental in tracking down Vecna, he might also play a even bigger role. I just can’t help thinking that he’s very similar to how Henry was, actually, Joyce described him as a „sensitive kid“ that likes to draw. Looking at season 4, Henry was described just the same. This definitely is a connection that seems intended, and the theory that Vecna was the one who kidnapped Will in the first season also seems to make much more sense, with all we’ve seen, it even makes more sense than it being the demogorgon. If that actually pinpoints anything important, I don’t know, but it could MAYBE mean that Will could have similar powers to Vecnas.. and that they just haven’t been forced to awaken yet. Maybe that’s the reason he was the first target, the reason he wasn’t killed in the upside down, the reason he was chosen as the mindflayers vessel. Or - and I sadly consider this as more likely than the actually interesting theory - it could simply mean that Will is the perfect vessel for Vecna since he’s so much like he used to be when he was younger. Meaning that’s why the mindflayer wanted to kill everybody BUT him, as Will said in season 2.

Eddie could come back as Vecna's servant. Since Eddie plays a lot of DND, there is a character in DND that mirrors with Eddies character, his name is Kas. Kas is described as a powerful warrior. He died to fighting the bats, just Iike Eddie, and Vecna resurrected him as his lieutenant, Kas later betrayed Vecna and defeated him. Even though Kas is still in his Vampire form, is humanity is still inside of him.

I love the idea of Lucas getting some time to shine in season 5 a bit. After what happened to Max I’m sure he feels a lot guilt for not only her death but also opening the last gate unintentionally. Seeing a storyline where we can see him navigate through that would be amazing to see.

[meditatinggolem]

Season 5 prediction: Just as the villain has our heroes on the ropes, ultimate victory within reach, a heavy fog rolls in. A silhouette slowly approaches as power chords begin to amp up. Could it be? Has he really returned? "Science is neat, " Mr. Clarke says as he steps into full view, cracking his knuckles, "but I'm afraid it's not very forgiving."

[luckytiger]

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.

The Duffers have said Will will be the central focus of season 5 and its going to basically go full circle to season 1. So i m thinking Vecna will go after Will to be his vessel ( and maybe be successful for a tiny bit) and will use Will’s past traumas and his feelings for Mike against him. Remember Mike basically told El that his life started on the day will went missing and will was right there to hear it. I ALSO don’t think they actually forgot his birthday and its part of the plot for season 5 . The whole Mike is the ‘heart’ thing could come in play with Mike being the one to save Will.

I agree i think he will use Max and possibly Eddie’s body as puppets.

[dillonsomerville]

I didn't believe the "Vecna is Eleven's father" theory until I heard someone explain the timeline.
Henry was born around 1947, and Teri was born 1951.
Teri took part in the MK Ultra project in 1969, when she was 18, and at some point around 1970 she became unknowingly pregnant.
The MK Ultra project was experimenting with mind control, and with one of the experiments, Teri could have unknowingly become a surrogate in Brenner's attempts to recreate Henry's powers. If this is the case, then it would explain how Eleven is much more powerful than the other numbers, because she directly shares DNA with Henry.
Dr. Brenner is trying to enhance Eleven's powers since he sees greatness in her, so why would he punish 001 so harshly for helping with this, if Brenner wasn't scared that 001 could have secretly revealed something else to her.

I really hope they won't be bringing dead characters back by releasing their souls or using time travel to undo the events of the show. That would really just ruin the darkness and tragicness that's a part of what makes the show so great. Though I would be fine (happy) with bringing back Max, because her body is still alive, so it wouldn't be too ridiculous

[misslittledove]

I kind of hope they stay away from time traveling because it’s such a tricky plot device that can get messy real fast. I’m curious if they’ll explore the idea of pocket dimensions. I would love if we found out that the part of the upside down we see in Hawkins is a pocket dimension that was created the moment Will was taken. Perhaps that’s why time doesn’t exist there. It’s also kind of terrifying to think that all that horror is just a sliver of what the upside down truly is.

[SundayMorning]

I actually wondered if Henry's DNA was used by Brenner to create all the kids after him. But the show probably wouldn't go that route but we'll see.

[helenaflockhart]

I think that Eleven's healing powers are actually time travel based. When Max dies, we cut to an overhead shot of her spinning in a clockwise direction while the ticking of the clock plays in the background, yet when Eleven revives her we get an almost exact reverse of that shot which spins in an anticlockwise direction, so perhaps she managed to reverse some of the damage so that she wasn't as badly hurt, but could only isolate it in Max rather than reverse all the other events around them. This also ties back to her line about emotions making us all time travellers, and that way El can LITERALLY use positive emotions to turn back time

[alexanderdumas-]

Maybe Henry’s mother had powers. She did know it was him causing the hallucinations and even had music on when Henry attacked and stopped the needle on the vinyl. She could have been playing it to stop him from attacking. Maybe she had powers and was also subject to Brenner experiments. Victor tells us what his dad did but he never tells us what his mom did

[HaleysTusk]

Yeah, I'm thinking Eddie was such a break out character we will see him again in Season 5...perhaps as some kind of psychic warrior :P
Eddie's uncle will likely join the cause....maybe this is where Eddie comes back?
A bit weird Steve's bat bite injuries never had consequences... Seemed like significant injury although I guess we can learn the repercussions in Season 5

[rileyelizabeth]

I honestly think the upside down being stuck in 1983 isn’t going to be used as a way to change time but as a way to get things from Hawkins that are no longer there. Maybe from Brenner’s lab or something from the school like the big radio mr. Clark had.

[joshwhite]

Will definitely still has an important role to play. Rewatching season 1, it feels like he was intentionally left alive for a reason. I think it could even be possible that Will may have some sort of latent abilities and Vecna sees him as a suitable vessel to allow himself to exist outside of the upside down. And now would be the perfect time with Vecna no longer having a physical body.

[Skullywagg_]

When i first watched the finale, I thought piggyback could have also meant Vecna living rent free in Max's mind

[BCBrownBooks]

Father even specifically tells El, "What Henry kills, he consumes."
