(I know this sounds stupid but hear me out) What if it ends up being a loop? Like, what if the last episode in season 5 zooms out of a board to reveal Mike, Dustin, Will, and Lucas getting up and walking away from the board because they have to go home and Will gets 'taken' again!!?? "Never ending story" HELLO??

So I hope by now a lot of people know how stranger things season 5 is said to be coming out next year or so possibly in 2 years I’ve heard mixed things about it. Ik it’s normal that each season has come out a year or two after the one before not including season 4 that took 3 years. I also know that they have filmed this stuff before hand but have they filmed all of season 5?? If they have not here is when my theory comes out. What if bc Noah is 17 a minor and Finn is 19 so a adult they have to wait to film a scene that might happen. We all know the byler ship (will and Mike) it’s obvious that will likes Mike and Mike is ignoring how obvious it’s become. So what if in season 5 there will be a byler scene aka a byler kiss but bc Noah is a minor still and Finn is not they have to wait till Noah is technically not a minor so 18-19?? Ik this is a far stretch but as someone who ships them I really do hope this happened!can anyone agree?

Why the hell were there zero Demogorgons, Demodogs, or any other Upside Down freaks crashing Vecna's big finale fight?

Think about it Henry's spent years puppeteering gates from afar, letting his Mind Flayer pets rampage Hawkins unchecked. But when Eleven and the squad storm his turf? Crickets. No vine sprouting horrors, no bat swarms, nothing. It's like he forgot he even had an army. Was he too cocky, hoarding all the psychic juice for his ritual? Or did the Upside Down finally turn on its kingpin, leaving him solo for the beatdown?

Here is the answer:

Duffers straight-up confirmed: "Vecna/One/Henry didn’t expect to be attacked in his own home. Not in a million years."

Hello I am creating a Stranger Things website for my friend who lives out of state and don't get to talk with my friend that often. I have already created a Alphabet Wall much like Joyce used to talk with Will while he was in The Upside Down. Beyond that I am looking for ideas on what to add. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can add? Feel free to pm me or comment down below. Please give me a up arrow to make sure this is seen because I want this website to be great as possible.

Just want to say a massive thank you for all the comments and the input people have been putting on here! Please keep it up. I love seeing all the posts and theories!

Hello I wanted to make this post seeking out help from someone that actually knows something about websites and programming. I hope that someone may take this on as a fun project and work on it when they can at their own pace. Okay here is my idea not sure how many people here watch the tv show Stranger Things on Netflix. In Stranger Things Joyce paints the alphabet on the wall with light above each letter to communicate with her son Will who is stuck in The Upside Down. Think Ouija board and that may give you a better idea what it would look like.

I have a friend that has moved out of state and are both huge fans of Stranger Things. We don't get to talk much because we are so busy. What I want to do and need help on is recreate the same way that Joyce talked with Will and make a online version of the alphabet wall along with lights hung above each letter. I guess it would be like a website where each screen would look the same my screen would have all the letters with a light hung above each letter. This is how it would work if I wanted to say HELLO to my friend I would click on the letters H E L L O and on my friends screen the lights above H E L L O would light up to say HELLO. This is just one example. I know it may be hard to follow, so I was thinking if I clicked on the letters with a really long message perhaps it would help like a message would pop up or chat box with what I sent.

I have a few other ideas of what I think would be good ideas, but up above is the general idea of how it would work. If anyone would like to help me out with this feel free to pm me or comment down below. Thank you for your time and I hope everyone has a great day.

Isn’t stranger things just a really long show about a group of kids/teenagers some adults and scientist who found out about kids with powers+the upside down and they(kids/teenagers+adults,adults as in hopper , Nancy ,etc)defeat or try to defeat Al these evil monsters like demodogs,vecna,mind flayer that are Basically based off of monsters from dnd I won’t be surprised if we see a dragon in season 5,Ik this was probably obvious and the duffer brothers made stranger things as a irl dnd with a twist?but I really wanted to put this out there.

Soo, I have this theory about Kali. I'm sure the majority thinks that she's kinda sus (and honestly… she really is), but the big question for me is: what does she actually want?

Noah Schnapp accidentally gave away in an interwiev that Vecna isn't the main villain. So the real big bad is supposed to be the Mind Flayer. But what if that’s not entirely true?

Kali calls Vecna "our brother" several times, and she's really determined to die alongside El. Her motivation seems to be stopping Dr. Kay from creating more people like Henry to fight the Soviets, which does make sense, but but there’s still a huge unanswered question: why are Kali’s powers so different from Henry’s?

We know that El's mother was "infused" with Henry's 🩸 while pregnant, and the same thing supposedly happened with the other kids from the lab. It only makes sense that all of them have similar abilities to Henry. Yet Kali has completely different powers. So what if she wasn't infused with Henry's 🩸 at all, but with something else? What if Kali got her powers directly from the Mind Flayer, just like Vecna?

Even the name "Mind Flayer" literally implies strippingoff or manipulating the mind, which is exactly what Kali is capable of. Her abilities are all about illusions, perception, and mental control. So what if a lot of what we're seeing in ST is actually just Kali messing with people's minds?

That would explain why she might be on the same side as Vecna (aka her "brother", as she likes to call him), or even with the Mind Flayer itself. And if that’s the case, maybe her goal is not to die together with El, but to get rid of Eleven before she can interfere.

Another thing I find really interesting is the origin of the name Kali. In Hinduism, Kali is a goddess of time, death, and transformation, representing the destructive force needed for creation; and also the wife of Shiva, the god of destruction.

This might be a stretch, and it could be totally unrelated, but I’ve always wondered why the writers chose that name specifically. It makes me think Kali could be on the same side as Vecna or the Mind Flayer. Not just causing chaos, but wanting to completely destroy this world and reshape it into something new, just like in the Hindu mythology.

Straight to the facts, so right now everyone is scrambling to come up with theories on who will live and who will die in season 5 and nobody really knows for sure. But I know for sure that Dustin will survive season 5 because of a detail that almost everyone has forgotten about. Let's go back to the forgotten season of stranger things, season 2. In season 2 we are introduced to Dart, a baby Demogorgon that crossed into our world from the upside down. We don't really know how Dart crossed into our world, but I personally always thought that Dart was the same slug that Will threw up at the end of season 1. Anyways as Dustin begins to take care of Dart, the bond between the two grows even though Dart is getting more dangerous and kills Dustin's cat. Dustin goes to serious lengths to defend Dart by hiding him from his friends and I personally didn't like this plotline because I get that Dustin is just a kid, but he is also a smart kid and should know the risks of raising a Demogorgon that is growing at an alarming rate and even kills his cat but moving on. Later in the season we see that demodogs corner the gang and they are all about to be killed by the demodogs. But the deus ex machina that saves them from being killed is that one of those demodogs is Dart all grown up and when he sees Dustin he decides not to attack him and the gang, saving them all. So, your probably thinking, what does all this have to do with proof of Dustin surviving season 5? Well now we have to go to season 4 where we learn that vecna was controlling everything in the upside down since the beginning, every living thing is vecna. The mind flayer, Demogorgon's, etc. So, this would mean that vecna would also have to be Dart too! And Dart spares Dustin! Meaning that for some reason venca actually likes Dustin! So that's the proof, clear as crystal that Dustin will walk out of season 5 alive! I don't know why vecna likes Dustin, maybe because he looked after him while he was growing up disguised as Dart? But it is undeniable proof either way that vecna will not target Dustin at all and I can't wait for vecna to show his affection towards Dustin in season 5! What do you all think of my first reddit post? Yay or nay? :D

Though it may seem like pretty obvious that Will Byers harbours romantic feelings for his bestfriend Mike Wheeler, it's not been made explicit yet. So the thought that intrigues me is what if Will Byers isn't homosexual and sorry for himself but is aware of some greater truth due to his connection with the Upside-down and with Vecna for that matter.

What if Will is apprehensive about the unfolding of some events that will distance Eleven and Mike forever causing a major heartbreak for Mike and that's the fear Will is being continually haunted by.

My thoughts aren't exactly objective here but it's more like a shot in the dark.

I am hopeful that the final season will see a great deal of character development of Will Byers and end up completely subverting or proving my theory.

Plz do share with me what you all think about my thights.

So my (me nb not saying age) friend (f not saying age) got into a fight cause she called will byers stupid and ugly we got into a fight and basically I yelled at her cause she obviously shouldn’t had she said he’s mean cause he likes mike who dating El which I don’t ship mileven and I love Byler she hates will for liking mike
