Finished stranger things, as much as the ending disappointed me with all the plot holes, I love the implications with the mind flayer having so many demogorgons. So what if the Abyss isn’t the Mindflayers home dimension and it’s merged dimensions before. The mind flayer is a hive mind and works through infecting its victims to become a part of them. So the demos themselves could be flayed. The theory is that the demos are the original inhabitants of the Abyss and the mind flayer is an invader. Dustin said in season 2 that the mind flayer wants to take over the world. What if it already has taken over dimensions before. The demos are just the final stage of the flayed, they no longer retain any part of themselves. They’re just an extension of the mind flayer, and we see Henry only retained some parts of himself. His actual body was changed and some of his memories were held back. He retains his own intelligence so he can work as a sort of general for the mind flayer, I think after he served his purpose he would completely merge with the flayer no longer being Henry. I don’t know if anyone else has thought about this, I was scrolling through some videos and saw a comment about stranger things being a cosmic horror now and it got me thinking about the implications of cosmic horror itself and just kinda spiraled into this.
