i have a very specific stranger things headcanon which i'm going to expose rn while i explain WHY in my head Eddie Munson is the one destined to kill Vecna!!!
first of all we're going with the obvious facts, Vecna is a creature from the Upside Down but just as the other creatures from previous seasons, he also exists at D&D as "a undead creature of great power, spell caster and dark wizard."
next, Eddie is a Dungeon Master, a hell of a good one, who has Vecna as his main character at the most important campaings, which means he gets to "control" him like a puppet, and probably knows a lot about his powers and weaknesses. Now, y'all seeing the tattoo in his forearm?
this is the mf tattoo!!! long hands, the whole figure controled by strings, just like a puppet plus the fact that Eddie would 100% tattoo his own main D&D character as a puppet because he shows off damn good how it is to be a DM, so yeah, let's assume that Eddie Munson has Vecna as a Puppet tattoed in his skin.
and of course the guitar scene is included here, cuz we all know that this must be one hell of a important moment for the season, or even the final battle, briging Eddie who is a new character for the highlight of importance. and for the song he is playing, i was going for the theories that mentioned The Final Countdown as a classic one and Rainbow In The Dark cuz Eddie has Dio painted in the back of his denim vest.
well, that until this down here happened. spotify and netflix created this personal playlist with songs that would save each user from Vecna (the link was posted at the official strangerthingstv insta stories). most of songs were added according to your personal likes, but when comparing playlist with my friends we noticed that some songs were in everyone's playlist, like Should I Stay or Should I Go, Running Up That Hill, Separate Ways and other songs from the original soundtrack.
but one song in special caught our attention, it was in all of our playlists, even tho none of us recently listened to it, and that's Master Of Puppets by Metallica. and please tell me that you already know what i'm thinking. the song was released at March 3th 1986, like not even a month before the date they are at in the show, genre trash metal, 8 minutes!! and it's Metallica so of course Eddie likes it.
also, look at those goddamn lyrics!!! really??? I'M SCREAMING and idfc if El is the only one who's powerful enough to fight Vecna when this shit makes so much sense!!!! i mean Eddie plopped from nowhere into the Upside Down shit, coincidentally being a guitarist, when one of the only weapons they have against the villain is MUSIC, he's a dungeon MASTER who has Vecna as a PUPPET not only at the game but painted in his pure skin!!! HE'S 100% THE MASTER OF PUPPETS and no one can tell me otherwise!!
i know that this is probably not possible in the real plot of show but in my head it is so real 😭😭 they could totally match this theory with the one of Eddie being number 010 and make it happen!!! either way, i believe my man is the one who can fuck up with Vecna's life and laugh at his face while doing it! my master <3<3<3
